Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "The Life of Death" is a Dutch 5-minute short film from 2012 that does not need any spoken language to succeed, which means you don't need any subtitles. The writer and director is Marsha Onderstijn and it's a bit sad she hasn't made any other films before or after this one (according to IMDb). I am also surprised to see this does not have any awards recognition because it was a good watch fore sure. It's okay early on, but the ending really is greatness achieved. I am also not sure if I liked the animation style. Overall I guess I did, even if it did not blow me away. And in terms of the story, I am a bit unsure how well it worked as life is the opposite of death, but life is everywhere in this film, not just in the doe, while death is always in one spot only. Oh well, I guess you can justify it overall. This was a good little film from five years ago and I think those that love animated (short) films should really check it out. It's a thumbs-up.

mydecipheredcode The host is just an intermediate being connecting life and death. One of the touching short movies I have seen. It is the duty of death to take lives despite it's being cute and never liked it's job.This is a fantastic idea. I loved the way the director thought inside-out.When the main character, death, hesitates to do his job, the life befriends it, helps in its job, living a short lived great friendship.Could have been longer.. Just for the idea, I rate it 9 or 10. Who am I? A soul with one half, the life, wanting to meet the other half, the death.
