MY TISSUE PAPER
Directors: Arnold Mathieu & Laurent Riboulet, France,
2007, 7 Minutes
The film has no dialogue, only sounds, its about a guy
driving on the highway. As he speeds along the highway he needs to tale a
number 2, he sees a rest areas and parks. While gong to the bathroom an alien
crashes into the hood of the car in a craft the size of a small grill. The
alien says something in alien and puts a spell on the guy and flicks the rest
of his toilet paper roll over a mountain.
After he gets the toilet paper he throws it and chases it again. The
ending credit has him in outer space capturing and re- releasing to the toilet
paper again.
I really like the animations in this short. I thought the story started out very ordinary
and took a complete detour as far as where I thought the storyline was going.
They main issue is the character needs to use the bathroom, then he becomes
only concerned with chasing the toilet paper not even having it. It’s a weird
film but I like how its left open to interpretation. My favorite cinematic
scenes are the part where he is chasing the toilet paper and jumps in slow
motion to get that paper, I thought it looked cool, and I liked how the
directors played with time. Although the storyline was very puzzling the studio
showed they could make a funny animation, it kind of reminded me of the show
Roadrunner because of the desert setting. I think the main moral of the story
is to chase what you want in life, go far and never stop desiring.
