One of the best psychological thrillers to ever be made.
Urasawa’s “Monster” is a one of one slice of media that dives into philosophies, morality, free will, and the true nature of mankind.
This series is loaded with characters who are static, dynamic, and in some case both. It is absolutely fascinating to dive into their psyches that is so rooted in reality, and the series serves as a mirror to the audience’s perspective on life and morality.
This is…
Nothing short of a dense masterpiece.
Beautiful animation, nonstop symbolism, intriguing folk lore, imaginative perspectives about supernaturalism, amazing soundtrack. Tackles themes of isolationism, love, coming of age, forgiveness, humanity’s inability of controlling our own desires and the concept of our control of them being a choice, struggling with self-identity, callbacks to Orpheus and Eurydice…
TLDR: They made this movie to make video essays
