Anime at its absolute finest.
Art is beautiful, beautiful as the world outside and the world inside.
Such is the case with movies, which is has excelled at a purely imaginative and visual level. A concept is born, yes, but what is more important is that it is fleshed out in grand and spectacular form in uniqueness and inspiration. Art is what an individual expresses in pictures and ideas and imagination. If art is to be fully realized in a bold and grand vision, the creator must take many steps to make sure that it is unique and impressive. It must break new ground with originality and ingenuity, a long and quite arduous task, but grants rewarding results. And with that, a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is felt heartily within the soul of the creator and as well in the viewer. Movies are an expression and also an art medium, spanning decades from the 18th century and now in the 21st century. But another medium exists, born from distant lands with a different culture and different view on the take of art. In Japan, anime was born. Anime are cartoons or drawings told in Japanese style with deep and compelling story lines. Since then its popularity has exploded with Western audiences and worldwide. Unlike traditional animation, which caters to American audiences, anime is culturally different in that its characters and style is more centered on drama and dialog rather than on pure action and one-liners. 1999. A year that a remarkable science fiction film graced American and world audiences. That film was The Matrix. Directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski, the film was a box-office smash hit and became the most successful film in the genre. It was influenced by anime and comic books as well as philosophy. The nature of the film deals with perceptions of reality and the role in discovering the true nature of the "world". It also spawned two sequels which expanded the storyline of the Matrix, but never explored the Matrix itself; leading to some criticism from moviegoers and critics alike. However, the Animatrix is a cool gem in itself that more than garners interest in the world of the Matrix. Told in a series of 9 vignettes, the Animatrix is a new take on the Matrix concept as it explores the back stories of the first film and features new exciting tales for fans of the films and anime lovers. As in the case of the other reviews on this site, no details will be revealed. Just like in the original film, you have to see it for yourself. To see the Matrix universe in film version is great but to see it expanded in anime form is simply breathtaking. The visuals are so out of this world and engrossing that you can't help but be immersed in its world. It is truly something to experience and a sight to behold. A marvelous way to tell a story from a different artistic perspective. Check it out for yourself and appreciate it all over.. vanja89 watch Who Killed The Electric Car? movie

I know there is so much anime out there and by ratio I've only seen a
tiny amount of it. I love Miyazaki's films, I've glanced at Bebop and other stuff I can't remember or remember how to pronounce! I am looking forward to being able to see Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai and Inuyasha. However, The Animatix left a bigger impression than any other thing I've seen. The various animation styles coupled with the story lines literally take you into another world. I also loved how they can be seen as individual stories with the underlining theme of being a prisoner to a system or simply put, an extension of the existing movies. To me these segments bring on a sense of mental euphoria, something I feel a lot as a result of visual stimulation. I felt more embedded into the matrix environment with The Animatrix, then I did watching the films, although I avidly love the films too. The Animatrix vision has drastically heightened my feelings towards anime and this way of story telling. Any shows I might develop in the future would defiantly feature some element of the popular artistic format. I think each segment is just as good as the last and thinking of them now I can really point out many, many aspects that stuck with me. However, I think I have four favourites; The Final Flight Of The Osiris because the animation is so realistic it's overwhelming. Even though there is only a short amount of time to get it going, the story is just so amazing, very impacting and left me wanting more. World Record because it showed that determination can do anything. It just reminded me that our minds can be so strong when we want them to and can break out of any prison it's in. It also made me think how amazing the mind actually is and what abilities could be at hand if only we are able to unlock it's full potential. Program because it was so action packed and seemed so feudal Japan. It also challenged a very real situation, which is what to do in the case of someone you love or care about doing something wrong. It also made me feel, as the movies did, like it was asking the world weather or not we should just follow along with the norm because it's the norm, because it's easy and available even though it may be a lie and ultimately harm us in the end or detach, be strong, never give up and actually put some effort into finding the truth. Beyond because it definitely challenged the concept of people discovering that life is not what it seems. How people would feel if we suddenly found out the things that have a questionable existence undoubtedly exist. How it would feel to then have that kind of knowledge taken away from you only to be left alone knowing the truth but you can't share it because people would dub you crazy. Over all The Animatrix is excellent and I hope there's a second DVD, Bluray, HDDVD or whatever on the horizon.. |
