Adapted from the best-selling novel by French writer Jean Trey, this French animation "Suicide Shop" is a good restoration of the original work. The musical comedy is paired with this shocking shop, making the whole story dark humor and imagination presented to the audience. I really like the style of this animation. French hand-drawn animations have always been my favorite. Although Japanese hand-drawn animations are better, the French style is more "wonderful" and unforgettable.
"Too many people die unprofessional... Dear... You know, out of 150,000 suicides, 138,000 have failed. These people are often disabled in wheelchairs, with incomplete limbs, and if Purchased our items...we offer a guaranteed way to kill yourself. Full refund if you don't die! Buy it, buy it, you won't regret the expense...Like I always say, only It's an unforgettable moment in one use and it's dead."
Imagine a shop selling suicide tools. This small family business thrived in a lifeless atmosphere, and it has been passed down for ten generations, until one day, a ruthless opponent suddenly appeared - the joy of life. This is a well-known old shop. It is famous for selling creative suicide products from generation to generation. Whether you want to open an abdomen, self-immolate, hang yourself, or touch, inhaled, or oral all kinds of poisons, here can completely satisfy you. need. This small family business has always lived on grief and misery, everyone in the family is frowning and lifeless, their outlook on life is dark and negative, and the only goal is to make all customers feel at home and help them "get on the road" easily .
[The above paragraph is transferred from Baidu Encyclopedia. 】
Human beings will die one day, this is an inevitable result. The ultimate end of life is still death, an unchangeable fact, but at least let's make life more colorful. Sadness and pain or optimistic and positive life are different. The dark theme shows positive energy, so the story is divided into two parts, one is dark and the other is colorful. Nowadays, the suicide rate is quite high and the social pressure is huge. How many people feel that life is boring. This is one of the reasons why the business of such a fictional store in the film can be booming. Seeing the attitude of the police towards the deceased in the film, one can't help but feel that Cold hearts, and so many numb passers-by...so the happy kids in the movie want to change that. In the eyes of moviegoers, their approach is too naive, and it is simply a cure for the symptoms rather than the root cause, but animation is animation, and it is trying to convey positive energy to us. In other words, if Tim Burton comes to make this movie, it is estimated that it will be another style, it will be stop-motion animation, and the gothic atmosphere should be stronger. Still looking forward to this kind of work being adapted again. Because this adaptation of the narrative seems to be a bit rushed, it is not enough to make people feel that the plot can take such a rapid turn.
Also, the cyanide crepe at the end of the credits darkens the movie a bit, and I wonder if the cyanide crepe also tastes like bitter almonds? Curiosity returns to curiosity, I haven't thought about ending my life for a while. Although, I have thought about it. When I was extremely negative and world-weary, I could imagine the pain of suicide, but I can't guarantee that I will die. Discarded this idea.
Although the world is not so beautiful, and even some twisted dark corners, if you can try to praise this imperfect world, maybe your mentality will be different. From being disheartened and slowly changing, a small seedling grows in my heart, probably the theme of the film is like this.
The characters in the film are very interesting, and even the name is very interesting. My father Mishima is a reflection of Yukio Mishima, my mother is Lucrece, who seems to be a character written by Shakespeare, and my daughter is called Marilyn, let People think of Marilyn Monroe, whose son's name is Vincent, that is, Vincent Van Gogh, oh, hey, this family is really troubled, it's going to die. All of them are famous suicides!
