Flow Review-Leaging, Oscar-winning animation cat’s mustaches | Animation in the movie
AAs a subject, my warning as a medium and fairy tale has always been natural bedmates. You need to look at Disney’s Princess Industrial Complex, which is to understand that glittering chickens are a big job; This is permanently healthy for this specific type of magical thought (plus associated retail and sequined taste). However, Beguiling, Oscar -winning, Dialogue Latvian Animation FlowA disaster flood is slightly different from a kind of packet that should learn to cooperate with a kind of package that does not match to survive.
The fairy tale here is not the story of the picture – the story of the film. It was created by a small team with a small budget of approximately 3 million pounds and presented to 3D software with a completely free open source Blender– Flow On a journey: his premiere in Cannes; For the best animation feature, the climax of the awards (54 to date) – this film industry fantasy.
While the limited budget certainly shows on the screen from time to time, the director gave a significant creative freedom to Gints Zilbalodis. Reconciliation and consensus filmmaking with more money comes, and instead of challenging them, the tendency to feed the audience with a spoon. FlowHowever, it embraces mystery: we see a disaster that emerges as animals do – without a warning or context.
Zilbalodis chose to explain the last date that seems to be a world after the apocalypse but strikingly lush, geographically. In the lush forest, there are signs of human settlement and ruins of civilization. The cat lives in a house that once hosted a kitchen -obsessed sculptor. It is on duty on the grounds of cat sculptures in changing dimensions; A half -finished carved still stands on a counter. But whether the former inhabitants have been moved or died for a long time – perhaps with the rest of humanity – is left open to the audience to interpret, and reading the background to the story depends on how gloomy of your worldview is.
The cat’s happy loneliness in the abandoned building was interrupted by a sudden environmental disaster: the rapidly rising flood waters are sinking the house and the surrounding forest. Last-minute reprieve comes in the form of an drifting sailboat, but the cat gets angry to discover that the ship should be shared to another passenge capybara. As the boat drifters, it takes other creatures: a ring -comet that has weakness for bright figures; wise but arrogant secretary bird; And a dog is an exciting Goofball.
One of the most prominent elements of Zilbalodis’s vision is the decision to allow animals to remain animals instead of trying to squeeze them into the pattern of personality. The character design and animation of the creatures is the place where the inadequate budget of the film is most prominent and still behavioral details are observed. Cat-düzgün, a grooved, detached small black moggy- is forced to share a place than the careless twitch of the tail (all animal sounds are real, all animal sounds are real than sound actors). Zilbalodis encourages us to see the elements of ourselves in animals as an alternative to stigmatizing human personalities on them.
Being a self -trained animator accustomed to working on its own (previous feature film, FarIt was a completely solo project on his computer) The director explained that he was identified with his self -sufficient cat in interviews and that he should learn to cooperate with others. And everyone who has a tendency to stack and travel accessories and tend to packaging too much will feel a kinship with Lemur.
An eco-parasite, Flow Not exactly mining in the new thematic region; from Wall-e To the caricature of the Salon My father’s dragon with Wild robot And many studio ghibli paintings, relatively abundant animated films about close climate collapse. But its approach FlowThe eye of the animals, instant directness and resistance to anthropomorphism is fascinating and unexpected. In the meantime, the animation exceeds financial restrictions to achieve moments of glowing, heartbreaking pleasure.
A small, cat -level details and a provocative clue that the end of humanity may not be the end of the world. Flow He doesn’t take a single message home. The need to work together to survive between other inferences, the value of adaptability – and the tables where cats are always given half of the chance will push.
