Zima Blue

It made me think it really did, Great job.

No matter how rich are you no matter how famous are you we all have a purpose in this life even if it is simple as cleaning the pool

10 min animated film delivered the message perfectly.

'Zima Blue (2019)' is clearly the most unique short featured in 'Love, Death + Robots (2019)'. It centres on an elusive artist trying to capture his essence, via a specific shade of blue, on an increasingly large canvas. It's a simple idea, yet it's shrouded in an enigmatic atmosphere and is oddly compelling. In the end, it's even somewhat profound. It feels like the most mature piece in its anthology, despite being the most 'kid-friendly'. It may not be the most exciting, but it's probably the most engaging. Its calm voice-work and distinct aesthetic are real highlights, too. It's a fantastic effort. 8/10

I've decided to review each of the short films that make up this series individually.

I really liked this one. Zima Blue is about a legendary but reclusive artist who has enhanced his body with the use of robotics to extend his life. Ahead of the release of what will be his final work, he grants access to a journalist and recounts his life story to her.

The animation was a stylised pen and ink type drawings to create a more traditional Saturday morning cartoon type affair, though the episodes lofty, esoteric story extolling that in art, and in life, sometimes it's better to strip everything away and get back to basics. That happiness can lie in simplicity. In a series that too often has utilised nudity and gore to distract from its emptiness, it's astounding that one so philosophically profound would exist alongside them.

My favorite of the "Love, Death & Robots" series/collection, "Zima Blue" is wonderfully stylish and thoughtfully imaginative. It feels like it evolved from the classics of sci-fi anthology. I am reminded of J.G. Ballard's "Vermilion Sands". A clever twist adds surprise to inspiration. Some may find allegory in its tale of an artist who seeks to achieve the ultimate creation. But its artistic vision alone is enough to celebrate.

It's pure art from all perspectives. I deeply think about that movie. It's in the center of all known.And very close distance to the light. So unique. Well designed. Lean. Thank you 🖖

Combination of everything, masterpiece
