English sub (very little in text. no vocals.)

Story
Basic. You get what you are lead to get. The message behind this is feel free to think what you want to think and don't be closed minded.

Art
A wonderful job and demonstrating the stories message. Sure the artwork was half-assed as in it did not look realistic but the message it con-vied was spot on. For starters not how the authoritative figures are drawn. Note the hard texture. Then take a look at the civilians(ordinary people) they are clearly transparent. The importance behind this they haven't yet given up on hope. They might be scared but still are able to see what they want to even if they don't want to be public about it.

Sound
One might argue the need for sound. I too would have agreed but upon further thinking i disagree. Having animation effects or vocals would ruin the vibe. They made it clear in the beginning this was a fantasy as in not real. So, in other words a dream. When a person dream in the real world we don't hear sound coming from their tired head so why would we hear it as they dream? Also, having sound or more a voice would ruin the captive hold the police (government) has on the people. If you are in a place where thinking something different it bad i think speaking what is also on your mind would be equally as bad or worse.

Character
information to understand the characters was provided. This was a Rosa Parks kind of story. A focused one person story on making a change.

Enjoyment
I might not have enjoyed how the story played out but the story did a good job at showing their message. I think those who would enjoy this film are kids and those are in favor of free speech.
