a normal abnormality

This is the first time I watched this kind of animation, so I had to think about what to write, limited by my own literary knowledge, let’s talk about feelings!

The dubbing is all male, but Lisa uses a female voice. When Lisa's voice slowly changed from female to male, my heart was very uncomfortable. I know that this is the only person who can fully integrate with Michael's spirit and body. It will also gradually assimilate! This is why in the end Michael chose to leave without saying goodbye! Go back home and live day after day! From the Japanese doll that Michael bought for his son to when he came home and found that the Japanese doll was leaking semen, Michael may not even know if Lisa really existed! A middle-aged man slowly becomes the person others hope to become, without himself, without a heart, without a future! Confused about everything! Everything seems so normal, but only you know that you are no longer yourself!

    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.

    Saw it at the cinema. There were only two people in the cinema. That person is a woman. that's all.
