Reviews for "The Masquerade"
This is beautiful
Great movie
It shows how powerful society can beat down on a person, however it was quite boring at times.
Insightful
I enjoyed this. However, I am not going to really talk about how I interpreted it. Instead I am going to reply to an earlier comment and, in effect, the way I see this flash will show through my response.
Dear TheMoreYouLearn, I believe I understand what you are meaning. The boy does not really solve his problems, nor does he directly confront them. However, I think you may have misinterpreted the girl's role in the story. She didn't necessarily "magically" appear. She was attracted to the boy because he seemed to be in a similar situation as herself, and she probably respected that he had discarded his mask. What I took from this was that, although he did not fix the society that caused his problems, nor did he effectively confront the issue, he found comfort and strength in finding someone else who saw the world as he did. Or perhaps the message was that love was sufficient for him to no longer care about his other problems -although, in my opinion, that would raise the issue as to whether or not that is a good thing-.
But, I digress, the flash was great. Thank you for the insight, or at least a subject worth conversation. I took off a point for the mediocre animation (:
........wow.........
