The Beauty of PUPARIA
Within the span of only 3 minutes Shingo Tamagawa was able to make a captivating work of art for the eyes of many each detail transition character time and place left to be interpreted all carrying out a tiny but meaningful role. He truly made every second count and whats even more amazing is how the pace of each scene doesnt need to be short or fast in order for it to be entertaining. It just feels natural to the point where its easy to forget that this was even an animated film to begin with because it just felt so real. Flowing with time allowing the atmosphere to carry out a sense of peace and curiosity.
Thoughts
My favorite thing about PUPARIA is that you dont need to understand whats going on to enjoy it. All you need to do is observe it and from there it will feel as if youre on a journey being guided slowly allowing the mind to enter another world thats filled with life flowing in a stable rhythm. I also feel like both the beginning middle and end of this film are connected in ways where if you were to watch this film in reverse from the end to the beginning it would still be able to carry out that feeling of meaning and wonder. Everything about this film is just so planned out and well put together to the point where its hard to believe that this film was all made by one person. In a way this film also feels limitless and what I mean by that is even though its reached the end Im still left with the feeling that there is still a lot left to see which leads me to rewatch the film more than just one time.
Music
The music used in PUPARIA also plays a key role when it comes to enjoying the visuals of Shingo Tamagawas work. One of the main reasons as to why I believe music played a key role in Puparia was because it was able to help the atmosphere feel neutral and at the same time able to advance the quality of how vast the visuals truly appeared. It didnt need to sound upbeat tragic or too relaxing but rather continuous to help let the mind roam freely while watching PUPARIA.
Closing
No matter how many times I watch this film over and over it will forever carry out that same feeling of amazement and curiosity as its always had. PUPARIA has left me feeling so inspired helping me to understand how special and big the little things are when it comes to the quality of life. To be able to watch this film felt like a privilege that I was undeserving of but given to me anyway. So thank you Shingo Tamagawa for making this film for dedicating 3 years into the making of PUPARIA. No words can express the overwhelming gratitude of thanks I have towards the existence of this film. Personally Id give everything about this film a 10/10.
Im no professional when it comes to making reviews like these so I apologize if any of my wordings is out of grammar or appears to be confusing to understand.
