Today we watched the following:
- trailers for bugs life and antz
- Gorilla's music video
- Trailer for Perfect blue
- The old man and the sea
- Sink
- the man with beautiful eyes
I really liked the old man and the sea in particular with its painting-esque frame by frame animation, I suspect it would have taken a gobsmackingly long period of time to complete. I loved the visuals felt near dream-like to be honest as scenes swirled around and transitioned into one part to the next. The film was a paint on glass animation directed by a Russian animator named Aleksandr Petrov in 1999 based on the novel written by Ernest Hemingway.
The story follows the story of this old man who has been fishing for ages without a catch and is on such a unlucky streak even his apprentice wont go fishing with him. One day he heads out far and his line is swallowed by a huge marlin and a vicious battle ensues. The marlin pulls the old man around for ages till finally the old man manages to capture it. Unfortunately sharks smell the blood and come strip the flesh off the marlin's bones and the fisherman returns to the shore; defeated.
