Invention

About This Movie

So, 'Invention' from '89, it's this quirky animated piece that dives into the life of a genius inventor who gets crushed by the weight of bureaucracy and corruption. The tone feels really heavy at times, almost like the animation itself is weighed down by the themes of despair and disillusionment. The pacing isn’t super fast; it lingers on moments that really highlight the inventor's struggles. The practical effects have this charming, hand-drawn quality that sets it apart from digital stuff of today. You can sense the passion in the craft, even if the director's name isn't well-known. It’s definitely a unique take on ambition versus societal constraints, which makes it kind of a fascinating watch for anyone interested in animation history.
