The House of Small Cubes

Japan Media Arts Festival 12th

Title: The House of small cubes

Artist: Kato Kunio

Grand Prize

For a 12 minutes animation, few drops of tear. Simple, touching story line. What is life? Life just a thing that full of memories? I always imagine that i would have a life just like the animation. Family, friends, all gone, living alone in the old house which full of memories.

P/S Think of global warming when see the house covered by water. Is it another message from the artist?

喜欢这短片，真实，简单。回忆一层一层地重现，回味着一层一层的回忆。人生是否都是那样的？一点一滴的生活，一点一滴的回忆，回头看看，看看现在，其是人生就是那样。十二分钟的动画短片，没有对白，没有华丽，只有写实与简单，足以让泪流出。他的生活像是我为自己虚构的。老了，亲人，朋友，没了，独子一人生活。不愿搬走，因为那地方有太多的过去，只想静静的过剩余的时光。

P/S 看到屋子沿了,即然想到全球暖化的后果，不知制作人是否在传达这讯息。
