An odd and interesting reflection of poverty and life.
I don't think it was a true representation of real life in many ways, it was more of a message against fascist ideology. However i suppose the depiction of this society could be compared to India's caste system where untouchables live next to the higher classes and are segregated on every level.
The animation was unique and was useful for showing the dystopian aspects of the world it was showing. However i think this was why i found it difficult to empathise with the characters, another reason i found this difficult was because i knew reality wasn't as harsh as this and so the reflection felt fake.
However the story itself was moving if slightly simplistic, something familiar being done with unique techniques (the string characters).
I also think the narrator was good but perhaps without the constant narration the story would've been more interesting, since the narration seemed to drive the story too much and we could've understood it all without commentary. I think the relative quiet would've made the story more powerful.
How you die short animation review:
I thought this short film was informative and useful to all people in all countries. The animation was simple but this allowed it to get the info across very easily and quickly, making it accessible to most. The information was easier to digest in this format and more fun too because of the dark humour.
However personally i have low blood pressure so this short film was difficult to watch (because i get dizzy and tired) so next time a warning might be nice.
From a technical standpoint it is clear that the animation was a sort of flash related program that was limited in it's capabilities, or perhaps it wasn't and the artist simply didn't have much time to animate. Nonetheless the animation was perfect for this kind of information and worked perfectly fine.
