So, 'Fishing' is this intriguing little animated short that captures a certain melancholy. The story revolves around an old man who just wants to catch a fish, which sounds simple enough, but there's this depth to it, you know? The pacing feels almost meditative, as you watch him try and try again, with dusk creeping in. It creates this atmosphere of quiet desperation, the animation style, while simple, has a charming hand-drawn quality that adds to the overall feel. The emotions are palpable, especially as you sense his frustration and hope. It’s not just about fishing; it’s about persistence, patience, and the almost universal theme of longing. A nice piece for anyone who appreciates subtle storytelling in animation.
