Death may be the opposite of life

This is a highly ironic animated film that uses exaggerated, rigid, mechanical movements and expressions of the characters to show the hypocrisy and mercenary between people.

The main black and white colors of "Human World" and the bizarre scene design reflect the reality that people are deeply oppressed by rotten ideas and rigid rules, and live a life like walking dead.

However, on the other side, what makes people smile bitterly is that the lives of the zombies in the "underworld" are "colorful" and full of fun.

All this seems to tell us that in such a society, perhaps death is a kind of relief, and living is just to have life.

"According to the plan", this seems to be the line that appears most frequently in the film. Everyone in "Human World" lives in a plan, and lives in rules that are too conventional.

However, it is worth noting that the baron, who symbolizes the powerful, lives well under such rules. This may be an irony to the stereotype that everyone seems to adhere to, but in fact it is just that ordinary people are bound by the ideological system of the ruler, and it is a tool of the upper class to oppress the people.

The scene of "Zombie Havoc in the World" is intriguing. Perhaps it is hope that in reality, people's rules and shackles will also be impacted, expressing the hope for people's ideological liberation. Emily finally fulfilled Victor and Victoria, and she was also relieved, resolved the grievances and grievances before her death, and ascended to heaven. People can't help but think that even if they are alive, why aren't they still looking for a kind of relief?

The concise and exquisite plot, the ubiquitous exaggeration and satire, the interesting black humor, and the mapping and criticism of the real society make this short animated film clear, full of connotation, and thought-provoking.
