This is an impactful work.
I saw the recommendation of this animation on Weibo. After watching it, I was surprised. On the one hand, I was surprised by the director’s level and ability to control the story with color and music. On the other hand, I was surprised by such a movie. How could it appear on a mass platform like Weibo. Because this work is not accepted by the current public aesthetics, no matter from the expression style, to the characterization, to the plot in it. From the appearance of the first character, the film has set such a gloomy tone. The dark background and the exaggerated gothic character modeling will make most of the adults who don't want to watch cartoons leave the scene in a hurry. The background music sounded. When the first person who was about to commit suicide bought the potion and was going home to end his life, the dull music and heavy pace reminded me of trackers on the Volga River. The bass singing expresses the pain, depression, and dullness in this passerby's heart vividly and vividly. But fortunately, I had a good night's sleep today and I was in a good mood. If I opened the movie on a hazy day, I could already smash the computer when I saw it here. And this opera-like solo would be a nightmare for anyone who has never come into contact with this style before, so it takes less than ten minutes for such a movie to have already screened out a large number of enthusiasts. People out.
So the rest of the people who can watch the movie are either also full of despair in life and want to see if there are any special ways to judge themselves in the movie, or they are as boring as I am. Idlers who know what to do. Although I can accept the overall style of the film, the background music and the strange characters in it, I still admit that I still don't have the ability to appreciate such a film. The biggest obstacle is that the film’s narrative method is also artistic. I still need to get used to this extremely exaggerated artistic narrative method for some time. Also with the help of animation, the director can use colors, character modeling, and surrounding environment layout to fully satisfy his special narrative and narrative methods. This is the advantage of animated films, but it is also a way to confuse readers. So it seems that I can only appreciate the extraordinary beauty of this movie from the surface, but it seems that I can’t reach the heart of this movie. I feel desperate for this.
