Alert (2006)
I like this movie lots.
I can't give Alert an objective rating. Alert is too special for a rating. The five star-rating above was selected over any other rating, because it isn't good or bad. It's just a rating. If I could give this movie an asterisk as a rating, I would give it an asterisk for a rating.
What I love about this movie is that it was animated and scored by the same guy, on his home computer, over the course of three years. This movie has more heart in its pinky finger than a person who is made entirely of hearts.
The quality of animation, and the quality of music, are just so enjoyable that I turn this movie on just to look at all the pretty colors and listen to all the neat noises.
That's what this movie is. People have asked me what this movie is about, and I can't give them a straight answer. It's not about anything. It's just an hour and a half of *something*. It doesn't try to be post-modern, or post-post-modern, or anything else that pretentious artiste failures will try to pimp off as the definition of "art". This movie is, and perfectly represents, something to watch.
I love this movie to death. It inspires me to no end. If I can some day shake Jim Ether's hand, or give him a nice, big hug, that would be really awesome.
