Happiness

About This Movie

So, 'Happiness' from 2020 is one of those animations that really digs deep into the darker corners of human emotion. The world is harsh and chaotic, and you can feel that coldness seep into every frame. It’s not your typical feel-good story; rather, it explores the struggle for joy in a landscape that seems to push everyone into loneliness and despair. The pacing feels almost melancholic, as if time itself is dragging along with the protagonist. The practical effects are minimal but effective in amplifying that sense of isolation. The performances, while animated, convey a rawness that’s really striking. It’s a unique take on the pursuit of happiness, and you can't help but feel a certain weight after watching it.
