An art work of Michael Dudok De Wit

An art work of Michael Dudok De Wit
FATHER and DAUGHTER
My opinion? The soundtrack says it all...
No subtitle, no words are said but the viewers are really given a story with real feelings as well as the emotions. At first, when i saw this one, i was almost crying. Don't ask me why but this piece of movie really does Something!
Good experiences seeing this though...
I like the music, ofcourse! The movements are so fine and smooth, the colors raise many senses in me. The feels of oldness, sadness, emptiness but they're all memorisable.

hee-haw, we have the same topic for this week! It's kind of surprised, but I do think everyone has different view point about this masterpiece. So don't worry too much, dearie!
Hmmm, I do love his style of animation, very classical but extremely distinctive! Besides that, this style makes his artwork much more memorable and profound...
~~cheers~~
Once again, I'm very glad to have the same topic with you, my dear! :x
