Reviews for "Smile!"
Seek Magic
There are many people around who are here to fill the quota of writing reviews about interpretations and meanings, I am however not one of them and I prefer to keep my thoughts for myself, even if this case the message is quite evident, but not less striking. The animation is of course not the best, nor is it smooth, but it's basic enough to not disrupt the viewer's attention. Plus, this movie didn't need too much of animation.
As for the soundtrack, the fact you used a GYBE song is in your favour, for their music is brilliant and evocative. I assume it's no hasard if you used the song called Providence.
dang,
wow, creepy
Smile!
This is one of those movies in which everyone's got a different opinion and view about it. So here's my interpretation:
- I think the "victim" represents someone who acted like a black sheep in a group of people, precisely, one who doesn't follow others' fashions and thinks with his own mind;
- The "judges" may represent the faces of an extremely hypocrite society, that first welcomes you with a wide smile and then stabs you in the back. Do what I say, or you'll suffer the consequences - that's basically the big deal. And the protagonist, while struggling to surrender to the "system", ultimately payed the price of being free, by the hand of a sadistic and cold high-ranking puppet.
- After the murder, everything's back to normal, nothing happened at all. The ending may simply represent the triumph of hypocrisy over the righteous ones, or the end of all hopes. Dictatorship in its best form?
I smiled with disgust, thinking that maybe in our planet such things exist and happen for real, in any moment, elsewhere.
In conclusion, excellent movie, very deep and thought-provoking.
