Reviews for Memory of Red

I just came across this, and now my head hurts. Yes, there's this great story behind the short movie. "This was made for the memory of a soldier nicknamed red who served in a unit code-name dragonfly, he sacrficed himself by jumping on top of a mine that was about to go off to save his comrades. The appearance of the dragonfly is the unit and the flow of red represents their hardship and experience together and it fades away for it will never be the same unit again without him. The soundtrack is the music he would play with his wooden 3-string little guitar before goinginto every mission."

The theme is great, but it's got too much of dementia going on there. I couldn't figure out any meaning, at all. I had to browse a lot and found that info.

And the music...oh my God. I shouldn't call it music. The sound just hurts your brain. It does.

No, I don't wanna be disrespectful to Red, but it just is.

So yeah, didn't like it at all.

Whenever you find something abstract in MAL you can bet it will have ait were an animated gif people would cream their pants.

Yeah, the two string music is a bit obnoxious.

I will now describe what I got out of this short animation: someone drawing solely with the color red as someone else sits by them, playing with a rubber band while being obnoxiously loud about it. As of writing this review I am only the second one who has written one for this short, and looking at the other one we can get the context of what the actual purpose of this animation is. Regardless of this context, I am looking at this short purely from an entertainment stand-point, and as far as I can go with that is... things on screen occasionally change, yet nothing isthere to warrant your attention for the entire duration of the short.

There's no reason to watch this.

I'm sure this was just way too deep for me, so deep that I will never be able to fully understand it even when I become old and if possible wise. I'm sorry that I cant properly explain how great this is, I am simply unable to properly grasp all that this beautiful piece of art is attempting to show us, someone with a bigger intellect can probably do it though. Guess it's back to the drawing board for me. Maybe if I go back to reading more literature I will one day be able to understand the magnificence of this piece of art, oneman can only wish for so much.
