Other Worlds

Story about something that you can't understand before you fell it yourself. About loneless and love, or just frenship. Just some words ir anime witch has only 1:28min, but you can understand everything, that author wanted to say. Art is realy primitive, but i like it. This anime gave me enjoyment. This short anime gave me that i can't found in long films... It realy something wonderful.

This is a short of 1:29 seconds long(around that time) made by Makoto Shinkai in the late 90's(1999)..probably one of the works done by just himself alone..thinking about things and relationships First of all, I must say that the introduction with the airplain is good(surrounded by a rectangle and a light that gives you really 90's vibes)along with the birds that will be a continuos presence in this short. Then with the train we got introduced to another theme that later on will be a main theme of Makoto Shinkai's works..such as distance relationships and love and all the consequences and the effects it can bring. The trainmake us understand the pain of the distance also because of how it is done the art...infact the art done in a rough way and with a lot of chiaroscuro that give you such 90's vibes I talked about..the camera angles also and the change between scenes are done well with interesting and good shots that can give at least some thinking to the watcher. The music are the best parts of it..I loved it with the piano fits the tone of this short pretty well(8 for me)and they mix well with the train departure and its travel During the travel on the train, Shinkai often shows us(and also at the very beginning) the birds which means freedom and they make us understand the joy and the need to find your other self needed for you..and to be together with the other person..to be free to stay in a relationship. Shinkai so tries to tell us that it is good to be attached to it although it can bring pain Overall I give it a 6,It depends of the person you are but this can make you feel good or bad about yourself and positive in life..but for me it can't really last that long..not memorable enough...and I find it not strong enough to move a person It is good short anyway..so give it a try

The story was good, but I had to watch the movie twice to realize what was happening. The music was fantastic. It brought me right back to 5 Centimeters and She and Her Cat. To me, it sounded painful, yet relaxed, and most of all sad. It brought me straight to tears. I thought it was amazing to see sketches come to life in this, which is one of the things that moved me. I thought it was a little strange for animation and sketches to be combined, but I found it fully enjoyable in this. I thought the entire idea of the art, sound, and story wasamazing. I fully enjoyed this, and look forward to watching it again.
