*SPOILERS* Dementia: a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning. Truly an inspirational film from start to finish. The profundity of this masterpiece fully grasps the true meaning of dementia. The film expresses the danger ofsuch mental illness. The illustrator does a fantastic job of depicting the main characters depression. For example as the women sadly stares through a window to a gloomy rainy sky you can instantly sense the offputting energy that the women projects. As she rips hair out of her head you start to understand the frustration that has been built up by everday society. As the show goes on it becomes increasingly chaotic depicting the different stages of dementia. Overall, I would definitely recomend this to all anime watchers to fully understand the depth of dementia.
The Art and bg music are good. Its a short 3 min video. A women wakes up and looks at her hair and tries to straighten it. Scene looks like she is a bit depressed and there are abstract images of hair and people with hair while she is trying to straighten her hair with a hair dryer. This seems sort of the experiment videos that people/studios make. There is not a lot of story just a depressed woman who is trying to straighten her hair. Well you can call this a spoiler, in a 3 min video synopsis, story are all the same. Youcan see it for the animation style which is very good.
*This is only a 3 minute movie so just go watch it for yourself* Story: There isn't much to say here, as the story is simply a women looking out into the rain, which turns to a great amount of visual stimuli stemming from the women using a hair dryer. The movie ends with the protagonist taking off her pants and walking off screen. Art: The simplistic art style that the beginning and end sections contain are a great depiction of what life can look like when under great stress and depression. The middle portion containing many "trippy" scenes also give insight to the chaotic nature of the humanmind. Sound: I did not like the music, nor the sound design. The hair sounds like rubbing my ear against a cheese grater, while the main score was strange and off putting. Character: The protagonist does not speak, yet we learn so much about them in just a mere 3 minutes. From the way they look out of the window, to the organization of their room, many aspects about the main character are implied and meant to be found by the viewer, which I especially enjoy. Enjoyment: I loved watching this. I never thought I could look at life so differently in span of just 3 minutes. Seriously, after finishing this, I looked into the mirror, and noticed a stream of tears falling down my face, I smiled. No piece of media will ever get this amount of emotional response out of me, that is how impactful this was to me. Overall: Pretty good, I recommend you this, and I hope that the inspiration it gives you will have you write a review even bigger than mine. <3 :)
