Angel's Egg

9/10 i love the artstyle deep meaning and experience. if u didnt understand the meaning of the movie here the explanation from yt comment credit:AestheticGamer i think the movie is about accepting the reality of death. At the end of the film when the man destroys the egg, there's nothing inside, but the girl wakes up and screams (chillingly) when she finds what has happened. She rushes to a cliffside, and those giant stalks have slightly changed to look more like bird babies than they once were and then she jumps off a cliff into the great vast ocean, and when she makes impact she herself turns into a lot of eggs from the breaths she lets out while drowning. Losing the egg makes her lose her sense to live, and her killing herself leads to the birth of a lot more eggs at her assimilation. Writing that out, it almost more makes it seem like Girl is more what's preventing reality from changing, the girl wants things to stay the same and the guy wants things to move forward. By destroying the egg nothing actually happens, it just sets the girl in motion and destroys her (but gives birth to many more eggs). But by doing this, time finally unfreezes and the ocean floods out the land we've known, and then it pulls out and it's revealed the whole 'land' the film took place on was a collapsed Noah's Ark that turned over in the sea. How one might interpret it is that everything on Earth died, in the story of Noah's Ark it is a vessel that literally carries all life on it for a future of a world wiped clean. The movie is set in a dead world, 'Noah's Ark' has collapsed and thus all life as we know it is dead. There's a repetitive cycle as time is frozen and the whole movie takes place on the collapsed hull of the Arc, which is the only piece of land, but the bird and everything is frozen and fossilized. It almost seems like the girl clutches onto the idea that life goes on, even if everything dies there's a hope for the future, they can make this work. Meanwhile the guy embraces the inevitable death, and wants to stop being stuck still in this moment. At the end when the world floods and the ocean begins to fully submerge the land, he stands on the shore and lets the water rush over him as it slowly rises. I think the meaning here could be about reality as you said, but also about life death, denial, and acceptance. The guy embraces the demise of the world as where it's at isn't even really living, it all might not even really be real. I think the arc collapsed and life as they know it is dead, but the guy wants to embrace that there's no hope and accept the reality of the situation. That's why the egg is empty, it's hope that's revealed to be empty and when the girl faces there's no hope, she kills herself and reality finally begins to move forward. However, when she does kill herself and lets things take there course there's many more eggs that spring out of her. In accepting this and the failure of letting Noah's Ark sink, there's life that springs from death. Not the life either of them knew, but she gives birth to new eggs, new hope, and we see the bird awakens at her death. I think this might mean that despite the otherwise grim interpretation of the events, there's still hope, and the previous 'generation' shouldn't hold back the growth of the new generation. The Girl clinged to the old world and tried to make it work, but there was no hope in it, just an empty hollow holding onto the past. By accepting the change, accepting death, and accepting the end, there is a new hope allowed to prosper. Just some feelings I have towards it.
