Synopsis

The short film tells the story of a young boy, who as a result of seeing a dog's corpse, becomes interested in the bodies of living things and starts to develop phobias. Before long all manner of things begin to appear grotesque to him.

Background

Released in 2005 on DVD, Thinking and Drawing features a wide selection of animation styles from line drawing to CGI manipulated photographs. The subject matter ranges from feminist allegory to ghostly tales. Although each film has a short running time of between 5 and 17 minutes, the depth of meaning in each is truly astonishing. The films have shown together and separately at festivals in Europe, North America, and Australia.

Mixed Feelings
The thaw is a conceptual work by Kei Oyama, detailing a boy that, upon seeing a dogs entrails falling out of its corpse, began to develop a phobia of every single thing around him.

It is simply the story of a boy devolving into a paranoid mess. It does this well, the art aiding to the visceral concept and showing the perception of the world around the boy slowing deteriorating. The droning, noisy sound ...

*Spoiler warning!*
*VERY SHORT REVIEW!!*



You ever just regret something. Doing something, making something, creating something. Well, I just did that. I just watched the most randomly-disturbing thing I have ever seen.

Most of the time you couldn't even make out what the heck you were even looking at. Only reason I would recommend this to someone is to make them question life. :)

(I also only found this cause ...
