Resilience

Resilience is yet another anti-war animated short, but it takes a refreshingly different approach. The film unfolds as a time-lapse story: it begins with a soldier dying on the battlefield, then progresses through time to show how nature gradually reclaims the land, erasing the traces of long-past wars.

It's a grotesque yet powerful portrayal that serves as a wake-up call-especially in today's world, where conflict and war are once again on the rise. The message is clear: the world will go on, with or without us, and the futility of war becomes painfully evident.

One particularly interesting artistic choice is the contrast between the stark simplicity of the foreground and the rich detail of the background. It subtly reinforces the idea that while war is human-made and brutal, nature's quiet resilience ultimately prevails.

I'm not hopeful that films like this will change much, but it's a poignant reminder all the same.
