Not abnormal

This adult
-oriented clay cartoon won the jury prize at the Venice Film Festival in 2015, but the essence of its story is nothing but the existential crisis encountered by middle-aged white people in the style of "In the Clouds", so even if it is an animation, it is not. The "mature and handsome" uncle male protagonist always makes people think of George Clooney. However, since the film is an animation, there must be something that can only be expressed by animation. This dream of the male protagonist in the film is one of them, which is absurd and interesting and full of imagination.

    Was defeated by Kaufman, a delicate pessimist. Love at first sight is like this: the world is gray, everyone has the same face, and speaks the same things in the same voice. (The moment I found this setting was probably the most wonderful movie-watching experience this year.) At this time she appeared, her voice was like an angel, only she and you were the only difference in the world. But everything is a fleeting dream, right?

    I can see that my whole body is not well. I didn't expect it to be a stop-motion animation at all, and it's done so well. I found out that it was a recent work by Charlie Kaufman, and I had an impression on the poster, so I hurried to see it. I didn't expect it, ah, I didn't expect it to use a puppet to play a real-life story. The light is beautiful, the action is smooth, there is the unique charm of stop-motion animation, and there are some bold presentations. In addition, this method is more conducive to doing some special effects in the film (no spoilers). The sound design is very brilliant, simple and direct, and the layout is bold. It took a lot of space to gradually expand, and I suddenly understood it the next morning. All designs. Only then did I realize that this person is not just "scumbag", he is also the bearer of this morbid psychology, and the animation has simulated this psychological state very well. The great thing about Charlie Kaufman is that he is too sharp and too real to point to the "real", real and terribly calm. Another: The experience of working in a five-star hotel made me never want to see their backstage working environment again, which is really uncomfortable.
