A revival of fairy tales, like immortality

"Renaissance", "renaissance" is a French cartoon. It's called cartoon, right? More and more new technologies make me don't know what to call it. When I was a child, my aunt referred to all children's films as puppets.
This topic is weird. Why is it called revival? Take a look at the synopsis of the story first.
A female scientist from the Avalon Group goes missing. As the investigation gradually unfolds, Sheriff Glass discovers that there is a huge conspiracy behind the disappearance. It was her teacher, Dr. Mueller, who kidnapped the female scientist. Muller was once employed by the Avalon Group to conduct research on childhood progeria. As the research deepened, Muller discovered the real purpose of the research, which is to explore the genes of human aging through the research of progeria, and then crack the code of life to To achieve the purpose of controlling people's life and death. Muller succeeded, he obtained the law of immortality, but he hid the achievement and declared his retirement. He didn't want this immortal technology to be controlled by the Avalon Group. Mueller kidnapped the female scientist because she was about to successfully crack the immortality technique, and the pride and vanity of this young man would be used by the group to control mankind. As Galas prepared to arrest Dr. Mueller, Mueller exclaimed, "If there is no death, what's the point of life?"

If there's no death, what's the point of life? Throughout the entire story, none of it seems to be about revival. So I tend to think that this title is some kind of expectation of the director, he hopes to use this to revive the international status of French animation. French animation is really good. Whether it's "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" or "Renaissance", from the urban adventure of the bard to the suspenseful detective plot, the French are always born for art, but not for the market. .

There is almost no dialogue in "Crazy Dates in Mirador", which seems to be Kim Ki-duk's "Empty Room," which relies entirely on music and sound to stimulate the audience's ear drums. In the three-dimensional computer animation of "Rejuvenation", black and white tones are used, without a trace of color. Without dialogue, or without color, will the French avant-garde artistic concept really revive the French animation industry?

I highly respect this deviant creative model, but unfortunately I don’t expect this model to become mainstream in 100 years. Compared with the vulgar content of Japanese cartoons and the “one story tells you one” of American cartoons In terms of the kindergarten model of "reason", the French should be respected, because their ideas will bring innovation to the entire industry, but the door of heaven is always open downward, the proud French, and French animation, French Culture together, it is difficult to revive.

Don't worry about the audience, the audience is basically Ah Q's IQ level, and they will always say, "Let's go together, go together." French people, I hope you are still arrogant, do your own things, and let yin prevail Go to hell with the wrong Yankees. After a few years, the audience will rediscover French cinema, French animation and French culture, and then, nodding their heads and saying, oh, art can be more beautiful!

    Human beings have death, life is precious. The black and white style is good and the idea is very high, but compared to Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence, it is not a star and a half.

    It's a rare gameplay, a bit like Linklater's two.
