"Very serious |:-["
date: April 25, 2006
This is a very nice movie, Although I usually don't like these serious themed movies which think they are too good for real graphics, this was pretty fine for a movie like this. I have actually enjoyed from it a lot, in spite of the fact that it wasn't funny, which is one point for you. This movie certainly deserves its daily reward, and even something better than that.
The graphics were pretty goodn for this kind of a movie. The charecters in this serious themed and simple movie, in spite of them being plainly drawn, matched the movie perfectly. Actually, they matched it perfectly due to their very simple look. Besides that, I liked the objects that you have drawn, these are very accurate in spite of the simpleness of the man in movie, makes you think. However, the graphics is not perfect, I think that the background could contain more details. Also, there are some objects which are not very nicely drawn.
The animation in this movie also macthes very nicely to the simple movie and its simple style. The fact that this is a FBF animation (or at least looks like that) emphasises the meaning of the movie. I have also liked your way to animate (and draw) liquid according to this black and white movie. Very good animation.
The sound in the movie was very well put in its place. I liked the fact that you could have heard every simple sound you barely notice in real life very hard. But maybe you could have added a soundtreck at the background in a very low volume?
The violence in the movie was in the perfect ammount, not too much violence to make it gross, and not to few to make it a la-di-da movie. I think however that the blood could be more real looking.
The script was very good, although it seems like it was nothing at all. I, once again, liked the simpleness of the script and the meaning behind it, but the script is worth nothing without the great directing and style. Also, the ending was nice, because of the fact that there is allegedly no actual endng. Anyway, the script was very nice.
Evantually, the thing which made this movie: The style (when I say style I mean directing) is absolutely magnificent, I have nothing bad to say about it, so I will just throw a bunch of things I liked. Firstly, the obvious thing which I keep mentioning in this review, I liked the simpleness of the movie. The fact that there is no one talking in it, the simple script, the FBF animating, it all points to the same great simpleness in the movie. Secondly, the fact that the movie is only with Black and white and red. I liked it because it emphasises the meaning of the movie, the black and white the simpleness and the red emphasises the violence in the movie. Thirdly, the great anding of the movie, you have really found a great way to emphasise the script and its meaning.
To sum it up, it is a very good movie, you need to improve the graphics a bit, so as maybe adding a soundtreck at the background. The rest was very good though, especially the directing of the movie. I have enjoyed watching this movie a lot, well done for this wonderful movie.
