Reviews for "The Mourner"
ok
i really love th anime style, but really, make astory for it or somthing
Do you know what expression is?
expression is the showing or displaying something like emotions. in this "animation," the only attempt to express the emotion of sorrow and loss of a loved one. The pain someone goes through when they lose someone they care about is a very complicated feeling: a feeling that cannot not be expressed WITH NOTHING BUT A FROWN AND SOME FINAL FANTASY MUSIC! If it wasn't for the guy saying "I miss you" most of us would think he is sad about the fact that he doesn't have any arms (I notice, though, that they grow back in the second and third movie).
one way to help express this mans pain is by movement. why is it the man in this flash never moves? he doesn't even blink or breath. you can express the sadness in his soul by the pace of his breathing. look in the mirror and consentrate on your breathing. pay attention to how the bady moves as it breaths and create a 6-20 frame breathing animation of the charactor in your movie. Now you can express emotions of this mourner by changing the speed of his breathing: speed the pace of his breath if he is angry that he has been saperated by this girl (and his arms), or slow it down if he is overwhelmed with a need to just see her again. Facial expression also plays an important role. this man has lost someone dear to him. he is at a complete loss of what he should do. We should see some indecision between fear, sarrow, anger and exceptance.
This is the important thing. this animation needs some focus. there was a lot of that in the bard's song, but this is a complete lack of focus in every way. the first big problem is movment: only the leaves are moving. IS THIS MOVIE ABOUT LEAVES MOURNING OVER A LOST FRIEND? no. So have the sad guy a little more animated (see above paragraph).
lastly, the visuals. If this guy is in mourning, then why isn't he wearing black. And why is it that everything in this cartoon is spikey!? It's no wonder the girl died, she probably got a realy deep cut from those close she was wearing (by the way, while are all the girls in your flash cartoons dressed like cavemen).
This animation is like raw cookie dough. it taste good but it's poisen and needs some work for it to be acceptable.
ok.....
the style was good. quite deep... in a bizarre way it was kind of addictivly dark. but i liked it. well done
Death. A rather touchy subject
It leads to new life, but can hinder the old life. Something that's natural, something that can't be avoided. But something that sometimes just shouldn't be.
A well made,artistic movie about the sorrow of death.
