"The Meaning of Life"


"The Meaning of Life" (short), 2005. Life on Earth does its thing; meanwhile, the universe. Written by, directed by & starring Don Hertzfeldt.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 4/4 (Great)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great, 4/4). The short, silly, non-religious, cartoon version of Tree of Life. Its visuals might not inspire the same sense of awe (although they are impressive by normal standards), but it is infinitely more watchable. Also, first.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.1/4 (Very good)
