Madama Butterfly

This was one of the most strangest, creepiest, and depressing stop animation films I have ever seen. Although strange, it was also very moving. I could feel her pain when she gets her child taken away, and I think part of her pain is represented by the opera playing in the background. The opera playing in the background is very important to this short film. Without it, I don't think I would have felt the same emotions that I did. The animation was very creative as well. Between the scene where she gets pregnant with a "fish bowl" that soon comes out and turns into a baby, to her being flown as a kite from the umbilical cord, and when she dismembers herself at the end, shows how creative and dark th directors were. Seeing her become reborn into a butterfly after her death made me feel better. Very interesting film.
