Note: Although it is nominated for the Oscar for best animation, parents must remember that this is an R-rated adult film, and it is definitely not suitable for children. As far as the film itself is concerned, it is a very good pioneering animation that explores psychological issues, which can be regarded as the animated version of "Revolutionary Road". ps. The translation is not very good. It is suggested to change it to "Unusual Her", which is more relevant and topical.

1. This film well illustrates the importance of film grading. According to an animation film critic, the above sex scene is embarrassingly thoughtful and has exceeded our category of third-level films. However, in the eyes of the American emperor, this scene is very necessary, because sex, as a very important way to cultivate immortals, is a must-mentioned element in almost all films that discuss the way out of "people", such as a certain "Going Down the Mountain". In temperament, this "Anomalisa" is very similar to the way Germans are good at exploring fate, such as "Lola Run"; and in form, it is very similar to the previously well-received "Mary and Max". And Marx"; but this sex scene still exposes the essence of American imperialism. After all, soul and body are two aspects of us that are inseparable and seem to be opposed to each other.

2. This film has a slower pace and belongs to the category of "boring films". ” category. Repetitive talk, all the supporting characters except the protagonist are dubbed by male zombies, and the lines are similar, so the halo effect of the male and female protagonists is selected. The narrative adopts the male protagonist’s first-person perspective, which is very similar It is the inner monologue of the viewer, and the shaking lens is also easy for the audience to naturally substitute. These designs in the form of the film are easier to bring people who are watching the movie attentively into the ditch, so as to think about themselves and the world they live in. As a What is the crisis that middle-aged people will inevitably encounter? It should not be a simple career or relationship, but a loss of life after half a lifetime, but not knowing where to go (compared to it, it should be more like "In the "Cloud", because George Clooney there is at least very eye-catching ^_^). The so-called thirty-year-old, forty is not confused, but how many people can not be confused at forty? The way out after ten is a kind of pessimistic closed-episode prophecy. From this point of view, it is technically a good film, but it is more like Black Friday in the movie - especially the feeling of stop motion puppets is aggravated. With the hopeless breath of black, those who are not mentally strong are advised to retreat.

3. The background of the screenwriter and director has been picked up on the Internet, so I will omit it. Roughly speaking, Charlie Kaufman of "New York Synonyms" can be defined as a psychologist who insists on paying attention to the living conditions of urban people. The Fregoli Hotel in the film is the eye of the point, which is called "Fregoli Delusion Syndrome (Personal Transformation)" in Chinese. Fregoli is an Italian drama actor known for his fickle face. When it is mapped to our films or the reality of patients, everyone is bound to have a thousand voices and a thousand voices. Apart from brain pathology reasons, the living conditions of modern urbanites may be another reason for the birth of new cancers. Today's life is no better than the previous "voice of chickens and dogs, no contact with each other in old age and death", but it is basically in life and work, but there are not many people who are close friends. So why is the protagonist so bleak in life? Maybe it's not the indifference of the protagonist, but the indifference of everyone. If this society is ruthless, then you must be ruthless yourself. If you want society to change for you, then you must first change for society. So is loneliness, so is freedom, and so are other universal feelings.

4. At the technical level, stop-motion animation seems to have reached a new height. 3D printing technology seems to bring a brighter future to stop-motion animation. In the film, the characters are very realistic, and you can even see the reason for stop-motion animation, just because the producers want you to see that this is Stop motion animation. The lighting is very accurate, especially when the male protagonist first enters the room, everything is like walking into a room that is only for relaxation. In terms of technology, the material of people and objects in animation may not be a problem anymore, and the technical problem to be conquered is probably the simulation of these materials in motion. But as far as the finished film is concerned, the art itself is still far greater than the technology. When you have an idea, you can always find a suitable art form to express it without passively waiting for a sufficiently powerful technology. This should also be the hope for our animation practitioners to catch up with developed imperialist countries. the end...
