Have a Nice Day

Sometimes you just feel like chinese weird wave animation right? (I don't even know how it is originally called i just came up with that)

On a rewatch, Have a Nice Day’s hyper-focused polish and limited animation is a lot more appealing and well-suited to this sort of Coen-esque crime story with lots of characters all chasing a bag full of money. The vibrancy of the entire film is owed to the art direction itself, making a late-night city landscape rich with colour while still exemplifying the seedy underground nature of the dark. 

The way the film intersects class with crime is interesting as well, contrasting the lives of all the people interested in the bag of money, all from different walks of life and all tangentially connected to one another somehow, given the small-town feel of some areas. You can’t screw one person over without affecting others

This has interesting animation where it’s not smooth but choppy but it works. The background was beautiful though. I loved the environment, it was gritty and full of intensity. The characters don’t have as much detail as the world that’s drawn like when they talk nothing around them moves only the lips but it isn’t smooth. There’s also some scenes that go on for too long like there’s a 2 min shot of a river. It bother me that much but the story itself is interesting and how all the characters are connected is odd. This film goes slow but it goes fast at the same time because while it’s only 76 mins long, it takes it’s time to build up to the climax. The animation and storytelling isn’t going to be for everyone but I found myself thoroughly enjoyed. The greatest lengths these characters would go just for a bag of money is crazy and I think this has a great representation of greed.

It seemed cool but I just couldn’t get into it
