Imagine; It's your birthday.
Someone buys a knock off "Finding Nemo" film from a small chain box store as a joke. As common courtesy, and from honest curiosity, you watch it. I could never have been more amazed.
This film was fantastic. It had it all. A Plots, B Plots, C, D, E, and even F plots. There were so many plots they had to tie one up in the credits. They had so many plots, they had to admit to "giving up" on a character motivation. This was a buffet of plots. A Chinese Buffet, if you will.
Just saying; Jack is superhuman. First, he has many disguises. Second? He became the star villain over HALFWAY through the film, after three other villains were presented. He was such a villain that one of the other villains was just FORGOTTEN. He also drowns for a solid 10 minutes and SURVIVES with no hospital visits.
Imagine a fever dream. One that you might have after watching "Finding Nemo" and eating half a chocolate cakeandn falling into a sugar induced coma. That was this film. The fish are walking, talking about "unaliving", dropping lore about living in a tank in a seafood restaurant, all while living under the yoke of a super authoritarian squid dictator with the voice of DC's animated Joker. Why should we trust a creature with 8 arms, a fancy chef hat, and shifty eyes? Because it's PLOT CONVENIENT to think he's the villain for half the movie. Do we casually forget that this SAME octopus has sent countless fish to their deaths as some crazy mock ceremony that rivals "fishbreath" from Nemo? YES. Yes we do. We are happy that he survives all the way to the end and laughs cheerily. Even though we WITNESS the murder of three fish during a feigned escape attempt in Act II of the film. They scream. It's disturbing. Horror films have fewer headcounts. Just saying. It's amazing. The original villains are in the end credits, talking about this cooking competition that LITERALLY is forgotten halfway through. The film just STOPS talking about it until they roll credits. Like "Oh yeah! We wrote that in! Well how are we gonna end that one? ... uh... IDK let's just throw some storyboards in the end. Oh yeah, and that one hot fish lived in the end, too. No need to save them. They just... they lived. The end."
ALSO. Do yourself a favor and pause the film on the newspapers. They are insane. The articles are Wiki blogs of World War II. It's an amazing amalgamation of history. Enjoy.
Also? This film blends 3D and 2D animation unapologetically and without warning. It seems they blew all their money on big name actors, and left pennies for an animation studio to struggle with MS Paint and the free version of Blender.
Do yourself a favor. Spend the money. It's like 3 dollars on youtube. Treat yourself to "Back to the Sea".
