Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Purely Joyful Movie!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

a woman. a train. a moth or butterfly . a trip. and a lot of revelation. you admire the high quality stop motion animation. and each detail of story. you discover a creepy trip. and a lot of symbols. and an unique character - the eyes as the best part -. many explanations. each more than correct. dark poetry. and the air of parable. a question. about people and things and life. about phobias and incertitude and about freedom. nothing more. all in a kind of artistic gem. because this short animation is a complete work. all is perfect. like a question of the Sphynx. many answers who reflects the viewer. many suppositions. ad the end as key. to yourself. this is it .

Madame Tutli-Putli has boarded the nightly train carrying all her life baggage with her.Produced by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski in 2007. As day becomes night Madame begins to dream, both in and out of real and imaginary worlds.She confronts her demons real and imaginary ones. As she embarks on this mysterious journey, she discovers something far beyond her imagination.The movie has absolutely stunning cinematography. The visual affects were very detailed and creative. The suspenseful sound had me on edge, it made you want to question what would happen next.The editing of the plot was great. It gave a lot of information without having to say much.The theme of this great short film was unraveled at the need when Madam transforms saying that in death we cant take anything with us, that we must follow the light. Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this great short film from beginning to end, and maybe even learned a thing or two.

Writer director Lavis is just another of the neo-Nazis who get financial backing to produce this kind of garbage. He isn't a bit subtle about his vision of the dead brunette.She has to leave behind all her possessions as a train picks her up into the next life, and nearly every scene shows her in what appears to be a coffin. She sees poisonous gas and ghouls, and constantly is in the coffin. Lavis just goes overboard with Hitler idealism. Some hacks believe their desire to depress people makes them artists, but it doesn't. It only makes them one of the countless rich brats with no artistic ability whatsoever.Easily the worst animated short ever.

I can't say this was not challenging for me, visually speaking, because it was. This is the work of really competent people, in every technical aspect. I specially enjoyed the placement of real filmed eyes over the built puppets. It added a lot to the hole mood. The sets are really fantastic, check all the different packages, clothes, accessories, and all the things stuffed in the train. Check how the characters were developed, how their expressions are really intentional. And than check the editing, with special note to the way sound effects (and music) are mixed with the image composition. This is really good work. But it didn't stay with me, because it failed into challenging my imagination as it challenged my visual understanding of the scenes, sets, characters and pacing. In the end, this left nothing inside, it didn't give me much to dream or even think about, even though it was clearly aimed at provoking those feelings. It even allowed my imagination to mentally review and re enjoy other films i had just seen, and when this happens to me, it usually happens because the images in front of me fail to capture my attention. Of course this may be a matter of personal choices, or finding in the images displayed elements to which one personally relates. I didn't relate to what i've seen.My evaluation: 2/5 it may work for you, it didn't for me.http://www.7eyes.wordpress.com
