just saw a movie and now i’m sad that i don’t have anyone to talk to about it ):

i know stopmotion animation isn’t really the most popular nowadays, especially when it comes from a portuguese studio and not a more well-known one like laika or something... but i think that’s precisely why these kinds of films deserve to get more recognition

#marry talks #personal #the film is called My Grandfather's Demons btw #it's the first portuguese stopmotion film. and a really great one imo #tbh i didn't really know what to expect going into it #i knew the premise... more or less #but i honestly wasn't really expecting to like it as much as i did #the start of the movie is a bit slow imo #but that's not really a bad thing #the movie has a really... grounded feel to it #it also made me more emotional than i expected #despite the fact that i already knew the themes dealt a lot with loss #it also has a very interesting choice of music #it makes sense for the type of story it is #but i guess i'm just so used to foreign movies from big studios that i wasn't really expecting more.. traditional portuguese songs #i also wanted to watch the movie when it premiered here on june 22nd #but then life stuff got in the way #i was lucky enough to get some more free time today so i could finally watch it #anyway sorry for my ramblings #i know this isn't really any interesting to anyone else #but i had to get it off my chest somehow yknow?#if you're somehow reading these tags.. thank you for listening and have a nice day
