Notes
Don't talk about the plot
The picture is really amazing, and the performance is very strong. There is a suffocating feeling every time I see the densely packed city that is tiled. The paintings in some places are a bit like Egyptian murals. In order to express various details, the principle of physical perspective is ignored. For example, women are cleaning the corridors, and soldiers are lined up in the middle.
The male chauvinism in the film is another source of suffocation, not the discomfort due to conflicting values, but a powerlessness that magnifies the truth and reflects the truth in the story, hierarchy oppresses hierarchy, and men oppress women. , you can see the struggles of the characters when they follow the established rules and traditions.
When robin protects Miba with her logic, it actually reflects the influence of social regulations on this girl who yearns for freedom. Suppressing individuality and eliminating dissidents is an operation that those in power want to stabilize the society. In the process, specificity is erased. Every individual of the instrumentalized and homogenized individual is a victim.
In the animated stories, we saw the resistance of young women, the awakening and defections of men caught in the rulers and the people, the overthrow of power, and the restoration and preservation of beautiful things, but in real life, it is impossible to be so satisfactory .
There is no doubt about the authorship of the film. Today, when commercialism is very popular in the film industry, it is really touching to see such a work. Can't say it's perfect, but tops in my mind.
Movies cannot die, and neither can expression.
