Use French chanson with the dark Gothic style to create an atmosphere of sadness and despair. This kind of weird combination model would surely be shocking if it were put in Hollywood, but it is really nothing in the all-surprising France. It has nothing to do with Chanson, but there are always incredible ideas in the romantic minds of French people. The images presented to the audience after they are realized are often impressive and incredible.
In "Suicide Store", the creators have constructed a society that is almost a dead city. Almost all people in this society are desperate and looking for a way to die, so that the government has to issue a decree prohibiting people from committing suicide in public. . In such an environment, a shop specializing in suicide supplies gave birth to a smiling, optimistic little boy. He not only enjoys it alone, but also longs for public enjoyment. So there is a story of the children in the film trying their best to prevent others from committing suicide, creating joy, and even destroying the suicide store's ambition. Of course, the result ended in joy.
This arrangement seems very good. People are under a lot of pressure nowadays. It is not uncommon for people to have suicidal moods one after another, but it seems that not many people have the courage to commit suicide. Of course, this suicidal mood is not a desire to die, but the kind of pain that is bound but unable to get rid of, or the depression that has to be suppressed and anxious to break out. With this resonance, the theme of suicide will become very interesting, and the process of guiding people from gloom to happiness along the way will also be pleasant and unforgettable. The ending is a bit vulgar, but it will be very pleasing.
As an inspirational film, the idea of ​​"Suicide Store" is really good. In the storefront that represents pessimism, the strange thinking of each character may represent some of the current people’s thinking, and the overall dark nature of this kind of thinking has covered a layer of mystery and negative veil, making it look a little bit Deep taste. Under such absolutely harsh conditions, the little boy's optimism is like a fresh air current, which flows continuously in the entire depressive atmosphere, and has a subtle effect on the surroundings. The act of subverting the "suicide store" is more like a revolution. The smile of the little hero is a sharp edge in this revolution, and the delicate body also appears majestic.
However, even such creative works cannot impress the audience very well. In other words, it cannot easily impress the audience. It appears in the form of animation, with a distinctive style, and there is no attempt to bring the audience into the film from the beginning. The plot of the whole film is very compact, but not detailed enough. Some of the preparation and processing of the process are too simple to fully express the director's thoughts and attitudes. For example, a customer who bought heavy stones and was going to jump into the river, accompanied by a little boy, came to the bridge, and when he was ready to jump off the bridge, he found that his desire for liberation was in vain, and the little boy was the culprit. It's hard to imagine that people who want to commit suicide can become optimistic under such circumstances. The creator only arranged for the little boy to leave here without any follow-up explanation. There is a detail that viewers may notice. At the end of the film, when the ascended soul once again sees the guest who has attempted suicide as an undead, it is easy to imagine how naive and cruel the little boy tried to persuade him to give up his years of suicide. In the end, the other party Still painfully committed suicide.
Although it is such a sad story, the ultimate goal of the creator is to hope that the audience will see a positive, optimistic and brave force in this film. The little boy’s single minded suicide could not commit suicide. The bloated sister was able to play music, be naked, wave her handkerchief and dance sexually suggestive dances, and the "suicide shop" finally disappeared after a lot of preparations and attempts. It is the best explanation, but it is not very convincing. The director or screenwriter has made too strong interventions in these processes, and all the changes are too simple and sudden, much like a fairy tale that makes a perfect ending after a simple statement. And at the end, a small character throughout the film committed suicide, and his suicide tool was a secretly traded product that the owner of the disappearing "suicide store" was secretly conducting. So what role did the disappearing storefront play? It is easy to stick to the final attitude, and when it comes to Ha, giving up easily will not be a popular way.
It's hard to imagine the state in which this animated feature film was created, and in what state it conveyed my ideas to the audience. The little boy pretending to commit suicide and playing bungee jumping is the most brilliant part of the film. Those unsmiling characters can hardly conceal the joy of their hearts before the little boy's "prank". Perhaps the audience will be moved at this moment. If this moment is strengthened, the film will probably be much better than it is now.
