Film 297: Animatrix (2003)

Nota: 7/10.

Si bien la segunda y tercera película de Matrix suponen un fracaso vergonzoso, justo lo contrario ocurre con Animatrix: un intento muy bien llevado de poner más claridad en este universo por medio de la animación a través de 9 cortometrajes en los cuales podemos observar un bug en Matrix, el despertar de un chico y un retrospecter de cómo empezaron los problemas entre los humanos y las máquinas, entre otros. Para no fastidiaros nada, sólo pondré nota corto a corto (la nota final no es la media, corresponde a la sensación y al poso que dejan las 9 historias seguidas) y os linkaré cada título con su correspondiente página en Filmaffinity, así podréis votarlos uno a uno como si no hubiera mañana.

-“El último vuelo de Osiris” (a.k.a. “Final Flight of the Osiris”) (Andrew R. Jones): 5/10.

-“Segundo Renacimiento” (a.k.a. “The Second Renaissance”) (Mahiro Maeda):  ·"Parte I“: 8/10. ·”Parte II“: 7/10.

-”Historia del chico“ (a.k.a. "Kid’s Story”) (Shinichiro Watanabe): 6.5/10.

-“Programa” (a.k.a. “Program” (Toshiaki Kawajiri): 5/10.

-“Récord mundial” (a.k.a. “World Record”) (Takeshi Koike): 6.5/10.

-“Más allá” (a.k.a. “Beyond” (Koji Morimoto): 8/10.

-“Historia del detective” (a.k.a. “A Detective Story” (Shinichiro Watanabe): 6/10.

-“Matriculado” (a.k.a. “Matriculated” (Peter Chung): 6/10.

Animatrix es tan buena como Matrix (1999). Una verdadera pasada.

...Huh. I started reading Jujutsu Kaisen, and I go to the tag. It's ALL SMUT? You never know what's going on in other people's houses (fandoms)

Boxroom: we added support to add custom games to boxroom

Me: I instead used this feature to create custom executables from .bat files so that I can launch literally any file from my pc or from disk and am instead using this to launch columbo straight from my DVD via boxroom. Goodbye

I honestly think Chainsmoker Cat is poised to have significant cultural potency.

On its face, it's a crude comedy anime about, well, an anime cat girl with a crippling nicotine addiction. However, under the slapstick, it's got undercurrents which point towards other matters of social commentary.

It not-so subtly shows how drug addiction is a coping mechanism but also fucking ruins your life and makes you a seemingly inconsiderate asshole towards those around you.

But also: it much more subtly points to how these coping mechanisms are more likely to be used within communities that are already under higher degrees of societal pressure with very few avenues for social advancement.

Because it would appear that cat girls are in fact a great allegorical representation of the experience of societal marginalization, while not directly representing any individual real world group.

The anime cat girls are not specifically trans women, or immigrants, or a racial minority, or anything else- they're cat girls.

But they ARE shown on screen to all have low income apartments. They are shown to be offered worse jobs and menial labor positions. They are called specific terms that sound a lot like slurs. The police treat them differently. The neighborhoods they dominate appear to have negative stigma attached to them. The girls that are socially respected by non-cat girls are the ones who seem to play the most to respectability politics, and even then they just get patronizingly regarded as "one of the *good ones*."

But on top of how they are broadly disadvantaged and disparaged, they are also simultaneously fetishized.

All of which very straightforwardly tracks onto the experience of marginalization and represents many of the typical tools employed against Black women, trans women, immigrants, and others. Anyone of any marginalized background or anyone with any experience with personal or familial addiction can find something to relate to when watching the anime cat girls.

The first 2 minutes of Chainsmoker Cat: Haha catgirl smokes and goes poopie

The next 20 minutes: This woman copes through self destructive habits at the expense of everything else yet she can't help but act upon because it's the only thing that gives her comfort in a world that is hostile at every turn to her and her people, every cigarette that she smokes is a cry for help and validation that she is a good person.

Why are there so many revenants wearing the Hayabusa Shinobi set? Clearly it isn't that good of a set because the only people I find dead are you guys

It is so difficult to draw semi-realistic masculine faces I don't know how people do it. Sorry I can apparently only draw nioh anime chibis

[juglone]

It went from "nobodies attacking/revenging you because art fight just started" to 'nobody is attacking/revenging you because it's almost over and everyones burned out." That's real convenient, isn't it. It kind of just sounds like you want free art from everyone and then want to blame them for being upset that they got nothing in return

[pocket-deer-belly]

continuously amazed at how easily people view JK rowling's bigotry as completely and entirely abstract. like she's not "a famous author who has some bad views" she's an influential bigot, as in, directly funds projects that harm trans women, directly contributes to transmisogynist legislation. to buy harry potter merch isn't just like, oh, i support the art not the artist. it's basically forking over cash to someone who is openly, publicly, fostering a more bigoted world through direct action. it's like watching elon musk do the hitler salute and going "oh well i don't know i just bought the cybertruck cause i like it"

[streetkit]

it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"

no more being polite about it fuck the USA

It reminds me a bit of how stubbornly Hide follows Tokichiro himself in Nioh 2. This guy has so much aura that not only does everyone gravitate towards him while he is alive, but those who followed him start even more wars in his wake when he's gone in order to bring him back. WTF
