The story is ordinary, but the form is extremely effective. Kaufman uses the same voice and face to reenact the absolute loneliness in the "New York Synonymy", but the shock and depth are much weaker with the simplified form. The letter at the beginning and the message at the end form a subtle loop. At this time, Lisa has evolved into the Bella of ten years ago, and all the extraordinary are quickly decayed at the moment when the strange veil is lifted. The movie as a whole gives people a weird sense of discomfort, perhaps due to the lag and stiffness of the stop motion animation, perhaps due to the high simulation of the character's facial details, or perhaps due to the unified sound setting. Reminiscent of "Lost in Tokyo" and "In the Clouds", the topic of discussion is still the eternal loneliness of mankind and the futile attempt to resist vulgarity. The process of Lisa becoming an ordinary person is desperate, and it seems to symbolize that all good things are fleeting.
Bone-cutting loneliness, intense melancholy, there is a thick wall between me and the world, unwilling to break, unwilling to break free; no individual is in complete harmony with himself, no soul is completely resonant, no one can perceive any other person Everyone is an island in the dilemma and anxiety. This is really the most desperate thing.
