1. Final Flight of the Osiris
This short film is the most shocking among the nine in terms of visual effects. At the beginning, the 3D CG animation of the black hunk with cold weapons and blindfolded battles with oriental beauties ensured that it can be secure at the beginning of the entire series. Grasp the audience's eyeballs firmly. The story is the prelude to "Revolution". In terms of lens application and narrative methods, etc., this is one of the nine movies that is the closest to ordinary movies. There are few animation characteristics. The only difference is probably-it is drawn. of.
2-3, The Second Renaissance
These two works can be seen as a whole. The work uses a picture of a complicated history as background information to present it concisely and concisely. In the end, this goal was achieved very well. The narrative style is like a fast-paced version of "Fahrenheit 911". It has a strong force to ridicule the stupidity of human beings nakedly, and the whole process is switched at high speed with continuous news screens when introducing minor details. The processing is clean and neat, without any procrastination. feel. Ingeniously comparing the human cruelty to the machine with the machine's relentless counterattack, rendering the effect of anger and compassion mixed. The metaphorical images interspersed in the middle and the narration of the robotic female voice all the time add a touch of mystery and sacredness.
4. Program's
typical Japanese animation style, especially the speed and orientation of the camera switching during the fight, makes people feel the speed and strength are coming. However, the character's face is quite American. Although it has been softened a lot in many places, the muscles on the male protagonist's face are still distinct and prominent. The female protagonist is okay, with a gray-white broken hair and a melon-seeded face, which is a bit of Aya Poli's shadow. This short film left the most unexpected ending, and began to see some shadows of characters.
5. A Detective Story
The American style, background setting, soundtrack, character language and dubbing all remind me of the RPG classic "Fallout" series, a glass of Jazz and a cocktail of the post-industrial world. In particular, contrary to the previous short film, the protagonist has a Japanese face in the entire American-style film, for some reason. Although the final ending is not perfect, it leaves some room for aftertaste. I personally like the always first-person narration, especially the lazy tone, which fits the whole setting.
6. Beyond the
standard Japanese animation, the character lines are very simple, but the environment setting is very complicated and real, which has the feeling of the background setting of "Detective Conan". The peaceful atmosphere in the film is very good, and the background light music and the matching of the pictures are of great credit. The idea of this short film is magical, so this point covers up other noteworthy places. As a short film, this film is easy to be rated as magical and confusing, but as one of the ninths, it is indispensable for endless aftertaste.
7.
There is nothing special about the Matriculated story itself. The highlight is the dreamlike matrix scene and the metaphors of various images in it. When the frankness of the personified machine was rejected by human beings because of fear, I was very embarrassed by the fact that those eyes without pupils were gradually being overwhelmed by darkness.
8. World Record
is a very American animation, and its style is almost copied from comics. Muscle lines, body proportions, and behavior are all extremely rough, which fits the role of the male protagonist. Compared with the previous short film, this film shifted the focus to the characters. The final ending is a bit of "Brave Heart", with a tragic taste permeating...
9. The
last part of Kid's Story is my favorite. The patchwork animation of the sketch fits the fragmentation and discontinuity of a false world. The dynamic distortion or even deformation in the pursuit not only transforms the speed, but also blurs the entire vision and all the senses, and the rhythm of the front and back is opened in a strong contrast. Distance, and the whole story is in touch with each other. This film is a prequel to the hairy mech in "Revolution", but even if you don't know the plot, it's still a very good animated short when viewed independently.
Except for the first part, which is intended to attract the attention of the audience, invigorate the spirit and lift the emotions, the other eight parts in turn form a documentary record of the interactive development of "human-machine-matrix". In this process People have gradually grown from a stupid social mammal who only knows about reproduction to a new life that retrieves individual existence and rushes towards the true state. Humans are forced to perish and are forcibly sent into the mother's body, but the real people are willing to give up the truth and choose the quiet forgetting provided by the mother's body (although this is an endorsement by a program, this possibility exists completely, otherwise the female The protagonist will not burst into tears); some people wander in the falsehood, but are unable to escape after being led to the truth; some people will magically walk between the truth and the false, they are full of doubts but do not understand; In the end, some people will understand the truth by themselves. Most of them will fail in the confrontation of the machine. However, the possibility of breaking away from the mother body will always exist: when all the bets are refused to the world, the real door bolt will begin to loosen, and On the side of the door, the soul that has drifted so far is no longer alone...
