Port of return

I decided to bring Sound to the movie " port of return " on Sunday morning before his school bus come to pick them. the reasons: I've told him the night before but due to the headache, I gave up the idea, and because this is the first animation invested by CHT ( Mr. Hochen era ) and directed by A-QUAI, a friend of mine, and the third reason is to support this local animation on weekend box office.

There are only 6 people in the cinema, 3 groups, I guess all of us take the movie ticket exchage couple. the 75 minutes of animation talking about a lover who were break up by a war between Heaven and Hell, the boy waiting at the port for the girl everyday for 60 years, as the girl was bomb to dead on the first day of war, but she didn't realized that she is no longer in the human world until she gave up her " Insistant " then saw herself transperent to everyone... the story is a Zen mentophor love story, beautiful and romantic, but the animation itself consist with many successful factor which local producer and director didn't identified yet. if I have to point out the problem I saw?
1. blur target audience : kid? teenager or family audience. not clear
2. animation touch and skill : many the production budget is not good enought, some of the picture shows a " animation book yet animation film " effect.
3. language consistancy : local dilect for creating funny effect was't a pleasant audience experience, and why to show the wiz and demostrate the underware of female charator is what I can't figure it out
4. Boring : no tipping point in the whole animation, you can hardly catch what's the image you carry after the show.
5. Ease meet West : the murmuring of Chinese Poem or Suthra of Zen is not appearing, using 4 character name to imitate Japanese similarity and Ghost story long tone effect combining with star war galaxy.. too complicate and no consistacy to reflect east meet west.

Sound's comment : if the film spend 120 millions, then why not use the money to buy 1.2 millions cartoon books and build a cartoon library? the impact might be much greater.

Seeing Sound off by 2:40 pm and went for the second run movies with wife: the 4 wheel roller directed by Drew Barrymore is a good one. Goat is truly an intersting movie, no wonder the viewers' comment is 2 extream.

Lulu called and check if I am OK to take the temp free lense consultancy job helping Stantly's foundation, the fees might be 50000 / month for 3 months. she is nice to me and I am OK with this..
