Tonari no Yarou

Rate a 4 art piece Audio nor subtitles are used. Story A quest for end. Or better put a tiresome adventure. While the story lacks in plot thickness the antics used are entertaining to some mild extent. Not only that but it is a story that i think most people can relate to in some matter. As for the conclusion the artist chose the only realistic answer. Art -i understand this is an older production (1960's) but come now. Are you telling me the artist couldn't spice of the scene with more colors? The only colors i can recall were used on hats. Which i think was used to help theviewer identify different characters. Which was a good idea. - For a low budget production which can be seen by the overall background of the piece i did enjoy some artistic choices. Such as the night and day mode. When you think of night you probably see pitch black or close to that. Not here the artist took a more simplistic approach. He focused just highlighting the main character with color or absent of color. - Although, some artist choices were flawed. Such as the door. Upon a close up the art it is clear the door is closed. Later in the film the main character treats the door as if it was open by walking through it. - also the dimensions of the room for some reason seemed off to me. Sound while the sound effects did add to the show not all of them were welcomed. For some were either to high in tone or were used for an improper situation. Overall: At the time this was scene as an advancement. Looking at from today it is clearing sub-par in comparison to more modern pieces. Even though it is not modern you can still find some rare(unique) forms of artist expression that you might not find in current films but only in old. Such as the night and day mode i referred to.
