Something about the "alien" lifeform tells me that its just a manifestation of fun, or childish joy in a world of dull. This girl was watching cartoons, trying to make them real through the dolls.
I am indeed worried that his brain-juice will be soaked into the wooden floor of this woman’s living space which could lead up to the wooden planks rebelling among the human race along with stuffed animals that have trixie cereal mixed with yogurt inside of them.
The eyes dont think they send information to the brain of what it sees then the brain thinks, so there for: My eyes: yo brain check this out My brain: wow
What was it, the lack of color? The lack of ability to enjoy the things you love? The isolation? Boredom? Junkfood? Lack of getting dressed? The only thing out of place was that she did have some degree of personal hygiene, as seen with the teeth brushing.
THOT Patrol it might mean they’re doing other things to keep their minds away from actually trying to help their sadness. When quarantine came along, you couldn’t do much to distract yourself. So that gave them more time to think about things that make them sad
No music, greyish color theme, a boring lifestyle, no highpoint of any sort. That also lead me to think "does the alien really means something?" While it's not the only thing with color in this short, as her food is also colored, it's a living thing.
From Wikipedia: "In a steam punk world, a young woman illegally creates alien life forms inside stuffed animals, but the authorities eventually catch up with her."
She tried to make a homunculo, not an alien cause she created it with those machines, she wished it as a son, but it was evil just before train thomas kun kill it, that homunculo seemed as it wanted to eat those polices and her creator.
@@amon-gus8109 you sir, need to go to anger management classes and grammar school because you clearly are reflecting some sort of inner problems you have in the comment sections across RU-vid.
No this is already part of genius party, which is the same concept as love death robots - animated short films with different storys and animation styles. But genius party did it before.
Would boredom be a more or less serious form of depression? If you look at it like a child's boredom, then that's a lack of enthusiasm & reward, but an adult's boredom would be severe since the world is the adult's playground, yet despite its vastness nothing can fulfill the adult's fully developed ambitions. Just a thought tho.
My thoughts on this: This "girl" was obviously drawn as she the way she was intentionally. She had the behaviour of a young girl, as shown by her TV binging, the style in which she dressed and the way she did her hair. However she was drawn as a maturing young adult, somehow lost in her evolution. Like she had stopped growing mentally, but not physically. This is possibly suggested by the extreme solitude she seemed to live in - the "dead end" written on the street - and by the lack of a parent or guardian. It's obvious she likes toys, as illustrated by her vast collection. She has also began doing something illegal - bringing in new lifeforms by incubating them within inanimate objects with the use of a strange machine (more lore explanation required here!). We also know that human brains are able to be contained and preserved within robots, as shown by the two accompanying the detective. They do not however seem to be feeling or human anymore. More like cold unfeeling machines than real organic conscious beings. Moreover, the last scene of the robot in her house apparently "dying" is the real clue. I believe this shows not a metaphor but an alternate reality in which a young girl, who's parent/guardian had been tragically taken from her, only to be replaced by what's left of them - a brain in a jar of an old robot lying in her doorway - happening to her at a young age (as suggested by her clothes and behaviour). Furthermore, this lack of parenting and guardianship eventually led her to try and create life, quite possibly perhaps out of loneliness or boredom, by trying to put it within something she can connect to - her toys. The last scene suggests 2 things: her face when she finally sees the lifeform for what it truly is is one of panic and realisation, the realisation of what she has done, and how dangerous it really is, and finally, the scene of the robot passing away suggests her final step of maturity. Of waking up to the real world and not being lost in her own. It's reflects a melancholic philosophy of old life passing on to new beginnings, and one of old philosophies and behaviours, made into new ones from mistakes realised. A lesson we can all learn and relate to. I wholeheartedly agree that the ideas put forward by this animation, it's unique art style and story, should be told in a more thorough manner. Exploring territory with the limitless form of animation is what makes this short story so appealing, and would truly benefit by becoming a movie or even an animated series in my opinion, and as many have suggested before me. It's an extremely well thought out animation, and is perhaps a great piece of film to be touched upon in schools. Not to find hidden meaning, but to read the clues for what they truly are. A great piece of work.
Hmm, it gives me a good feeling that there are still peopple that appreciate the details, and I must say, I couldn't have said that better. You have my earnest respects.
I always view the alien things as drugs, as her face looks tired, absent and sad. She doesn't like their company, that's why she throws the bunny away. She doesn't like what her life has turn into. But here she is. Alone and sad. And then, the police. She doesn't want them to take them away, but at the same time is not like she wants to have it. But as any addict, she keeps doing so. Not only that, but she also sell it. (We know this by watching with subtitles). But at the end she is able to see what it has done to her, as we se her face of horror. As the monster attempts to eat her. I think the police was only trying to help her, by force, but help her. As they say, her neighbors call to stop her, before it became dangerous. At the end, yes she looks sad, but relief. Is over now. She stop fighting and takes the help, that she need it. But the harms was done already, I will love to see how she recovers. Or at least that's what I got for the animation, someone say it was creativity and how society crush it down, but if so, she would seem relief at the end of it. My opinion...
I think it’s about drug addiction. The main character seems like an addict from her ashen skin, to the bags under her eyes and at the very end her bloodied nose. Her entire world is dull which is what it can feel like when you know what it is like on the other side. She stabs the sludge that she pours into the machine and when one of the dolls approaches her she throws it away which represent the fact that an addict knows what they’re doing is wrong. The investigation that comes to her house is a drug bust, they find the creatures in the toys and the one hidden in a room. The creatures themselves are drawn in a very psychedelic way, Ive seen some people interpret that as creativity, but I just can’t see her as being a very creative person, I dont think that was what they wanted us to think. The hallway that is shown many times says “dead end” and the robot on the chair says something like “lost life.” It’s a sad truth that many people who become addicted to drugs do not recover from it. This is simply my interpretation of the film, let me know what you think the film meant if you disagree. If you agree, feel free to add your interpretations of certain scenes that support this theory. Edit: another point I’d like to make is that the monster at the end wanted to devour her. Another thing I would like to add is the food she eats resembles pills and its all junk food which, similarly to drugs, we eat despite the fact that its bad for us just because it tastes good.
Just a sidenote* She had a nose bleed because she fell from the stairs. I mean, I'm quite sure that a broken/injured ankle has very little to do with drug addictions.
erigor11 Yes, but try to think about why they did that scene. They broke her ankle to make her sit on the ground in a helpless position right? Why make her helpless before the monster? What does that mean? And why bother adding the nosebleed at that moment?
Everyone has their deep, complex and analytical perspective on what this movie may symbolize. I just think that this was a side story to how Thomas The Dank Engine got so much respect and notoriety, for being a true hero.
This seems like one of those things that lack just enough context and are so open for interpretation that people come up with theories that fulfills their own personal desires and will never mean the same thing to two different people. For me it's about paint drying and my own sexual inadequacies.
That can pretty much be said of almost all art pieces anyways, depending on what it is (such as how someone's perception of life/world-view can be projected through art).
John Doe I completely understand what you're saying. This film definitely lacks context and can related to anything that includes or is similar to words like "creative" or "childhood."
@@KultAnarchist Many creative people are like that though. Even of those who get to be called geniuses. At least occasionally they are, for one reason because you can't be creative/creating all the time cause it's exhausting and might call for a total contrast. And some artists do hate their own creations or don't care, at least occasionally.
@@KultAnarchist I mean...that's what I do ._. because, like most artists, I hate what I make, and the feelings that "inspired" it. in between balancing a 9-5, yes, you do the bare minimum to stay alive while attempting to feed that creativity when you can afford the break. This is p legit.
I'm just a bit confused if it was about that because it looked like the monsters(?) did look dangerous when it came out of the stuff frog it looked like it wanted to eat the girl.
Dude yeah, I don't watch anime much and the dude that make howls moving castle and spirited away are some of the few I like. This had a super similar style, realistic people, not the cookie cutter manga stuff, and the weird/otherworldly feel to it
@@arolemaprarath6615 I don't know about that seems like a sweat shop animation studio of the 90s, alot of software these days predict mid motion movement and can outline a real person to catch movement, or as 3d animation that model been designed and environment and you make movement of axes (and same with suite) I do 3d animation, so it depends how you do it, but hey someone could be making a flip book animation too. With a 1000 handwriting sketches.
I remember this animation, I watched when I was a kid, the film had its semi-premiere on my grandmother's town Barichara festival here in Colombia at the animation section
"In a steam punk world, a young woman illegally creates alien life forms inside stuffed animals, but the authorities eventually catch up with her." Is the actual summary of this short film. The director is Tatsuyuki Tanaka.....also you could have all just clicked the link in the description instead of coming up with these over the top deep meanings, it's not a film that's really for interpretation, it was simply a story.
I first saw this about ten years ago on TV when I was a teenager. I remember being so confused. And now this shows up in my RU-vid recommendations and I was like: Could it be? I love it when things come back to you like that!
Don't know why but such background, pale colors were always there in my subconscious. This animation dragged me to my so called childhood imaginary world. Btw loved it😘
