Stop Motion Review 8 (BSA 124)
Zero Short Stop Motion Movie Review
Zero is a 12 minutes and 33 seconds stop motion movie which is produced with assistance from the New South Wales Film and Television Office. This animation is still directed with the same director which is Christopher Kezelos, produced by his wife Christine Kezelos, and narrated by Nicholas Mckay. It tells the story in a fantasy world where all living beings are being classified by numerical class system. The bigger the number is, the more appreciated that person be.
My review:
The scene starts with a baby being transformed in his mother's womb, and no longer the baby's crying is heard. Number zero appears on his chest, where all the humans in that planet have different numbers. Humans who have higher numbers, they are being more respected by the society, but those who have zero, will be discriminated even until the end of their life. Zero, who starts to go through his life journey by studying at a school, gets bullied by his friends and experience things that humans never want to go through. As Zero grows older, bad things never stop happening to him, but he will never let that affects him, he always tries his best in getting a job or helping the poor. Zero is such a positive person. One day, after his job application is rejected, Zero goes back to his "homeless" home and sleeps there with the other zeros. Suddenly he sees a woman with a zero number as well is being harassed by several people who have higher numbers. With confidence, he helps her which let him get another bruises on his body. Soon Zero and his new female zero friend starts a relationship and live a happy life which are forbidden by the city rules. Seeing them happy, 2 cops finally separate Zero and brings him to a dungeon, leaving his girlfriend alone. Days pass, Zero hasn't get any news yet from her, but he keeps his hope up and never let himself become down. One shining day, his soulmate appears infront of his jail's window, showing him her big stomach. Not long after that she delivers a baby and everyone around her are praising the baby. Zero, who can't see everything clearly from inside just keep wondering on what is happening, until his dungeon's door opens, and everyone comes in. There he sees his love and their newborn babies who have infinite number on their chest, which is the biggest in the universe. And both of them live happily ever after since that day on.
Just as The Maker, this movie is very emotional. But, from what I've got is for story, Zero is absolutely a lot better than The Maker. The sense of humanity, love, and positivity are really strong and the moral value is very deep. If we look based on the sets, The Maker wins. It has more detailed sets and more complicated stuffs than Zero. If I have to choose which one, I'll choose Zero. The characters may be simple (just wrap wool yarn), but the story is just out of my mind. The plot twist at the end of the story is really unexpected!
