The meaning of Life (2005)
The evolution of humanity, through countless eons.
The cartoonist's title sequence shows images of black and white flames. And then a human body falls down through it decaying. (A human stick figure)
Next sequence is stick figures unique to the cartoonist's tradition walks and we are reflected of each one saying same dialogue lines. Then the crowd increases. And it becomes chaos of mixture and confusion. And in an instance all are dead and we see black clouds and confusion.
We have a starry sequence later.
And then mutation. Which was my first thought after the observation but later I realised it was a reflection of a parallel universe and how alien life would be behaving and it is accordingly reflected.
We see a discussion with an alien language. We see stars and other beautiful aspects floating around after the discussion.
And then slowly it concludes to the end title.
It's more like a mindless observation of life without any logic or judgement. The film maker establishes his violent and dark abstract style to theme and it is a very unique short animation.
Overall - 3.5/5
