Fishboy

❝It's been a while since I've heard you laugh.❞

A gorgeous and affecting short film about the effect guilt can have on oneself, as well as the people around you. I loved the use of bleak blue and grey for the ocean and Fishboy, while Laura and his sister were represented by warm colours like yellow; perhaps to show that every time Fishboy is happy, his guilt always overpowers everything, and in the end he doesn't have the strength to continue fighting it. Beautiful, creative animation and a melancholy score push this short film over the edge for me; highly recommend giving it a watch.

L'ambiance est lourde de fou et j'aime bien les différentes techniques d'animation c'est grave efficace même si je suis pas sûr d'avoir tout compris (peut-être que c'est le but que ce soit un peu vague (lol) pour qu'on puisse s'identifier) la tête du monsieur est trop mimi

Wow. Just wow. This is the most beautiful and yet perfect way to show how Grief cannot only effect you but others. The way fishboy is held back literally and metaphorically by his past is so creative and yet strange. The amazing sound design and riveting sorry all pulled into a little less than nine minutes.
The ending really made the water works go off for me. The way fishboy simply cannot take the pain of letting his Grief be pushed onto his girlfriend and the Grief aways coming back for him, leading to implied suicide is a reeling twist. What an amazing short film.
