I just watched the VCD version this weekend on my laptop... I sort of was doing work on my desktop while it was playing to my right so I wasn't patying that much attention... however....
I thought the movie was goregous... the colors and the choreography... as for the story - I had NO CLUE what was going on! *sulks*
We went to see this a few weeks ago. Harry wanted to see it and I didn't do any other checking on it, so I didn't realize it was going to be subtitled. That's usually a problem for him with low vision, but we had great seats and the subtitles were big enough and on screen long enough for him to read.
The use of color throughout was amazing, I especially loved the red and yellow forest fight scene. The color in the "army" scenes at first seemed unremarkable until you realized that each time we saw those scenes the colors were different and often so was the weather. I loved the library. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like that and once you realized that had to be done in multiple colors, your mind just reels with the amount of work that went into it.
the detail in that movie was astounding. the way the colors changed (even subtle background colors or just pieces of someone's costume) to reflect the emotion was incredible.
touching, beautiful, interesting story. yeah - what's not to like?
