"Goddamn beautiful."
date: December 12, 2009
I can totally see how this is across the universe. Not just because of The Beatles song.
First of all, I wrote down the little graphic tricks I liked along the animation:
- how the roof broke and how he moved through it
- the way he was kind of 'rolling' on his way to the roof
- how the cross built up of blocks
- the x wound growing
- his hair's motion as he stood on the train
- the yellow color as he fell into the water, it's so eerie
- and the blue as the bubbles escape his mouth
Now, the song was absolutely beautiful and fit the animation in every way (although at first I didn't realize it when he sang about sleeping forever). What song is it and by whom?
The symbolic imagery was great, I'm glad Crartonis elaborated on some of it, it's helpful.
To be honest, I did not expect the ending at all, and it was beautiful, and I was taken aback.
I should have found this loooong ago.
Respect.
