9 Film Anaylsis

 When watching the movie, I was mesmerized by the whole production. The first pictures are so amazing to look at. Thick fingers make the final stitches in a loosely humanoid little rag doll in close-up, and there are added binocular eyes. This creature comes to life, stands on bent legs, and journeys fearfully into a bombed-out city's destruction.

The film is brilliantly animated, with amazing textures and plenty of dynamics in terms of character design. Their burlap bodies are of a burlap texture. There's sewing everywhere. The copper eyes and hands have the bland look of the coin. It's beautiful. Yeah, nine of them all look alike, but you never run the risk of not being able to tell either of them apart because of a variety of very subtle distinctions. Creations walk the delicate line between appearing as if they were made by one guy and being distinct enough not to be interchangeable. They're very lovely to see.

Because of the small scale of the stitchpunks, everything looks strange and monstrous to them, making the foreboding universe in which they exist even more ominous and dangerous. In reality, the whole film is pretty bleak. Very dark, very devastated in a way.

The dark landscape is contrasted with juvenile satire. One sock-puppet puts a magnet on his head, which acts either as a drug or as a masturbatory act — a film that is not explicit. For an animated film that chose to separate its audience with a PG-13 rating, the themes never appear implicitly adult; rather, only the atmosphere includes gritty content that may be too graphic for younger audiences, whilst these characters and their simplicity of dialog are well attuned to the interest of the kid. If it weren't for a corpse here and there, the children would be the main population.

The first figure, dubbed "9," he encounters his predecessors # 1 through # 8, and they find themselves in the fight against a Transformer-like red-eyed creature called the Beast. Nine is the youngest, possibly the brightest, and definitely the most adventurous, prompting others to poke around the ruins, against # 1 's wishes.

Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov produced the film, perhaps adding their own dark twists to the production and introducing some needless action scenes here and there (there are a lot of them). The animation of Acker remains the only good note of the film. His approach is visually impressive, both in his ability to make socks articulate in terms of their structure and the feeling he brings to his film's tangible animated setting. If only his story spent more time creating characters that were as compelling as his animation, he would have entered the realm of an animation master. Alas, he 's going to have to go back to the drawing board, or the machine as it was.
