Monument

About This Movie

So, Monument, from 1990, is an interesting piece of animation that dives into the absurdity of public adoration and shifting narratives. It starts off with this grand reveal of a statue, all applause and excitement, you know? But then it takes a turn; the statue's arm points the other way, and somehow, the audience is right back in a frenzy. The tone is almost sardonic, and it really plays with this notion of how quickly people shift their loyalties. The animation style is quite distinctive, blending a simplistic aesthetic with some surprisingly fluid movements. It’s got this meta commentary on public opinion, and the pacing feels just right for its short runtime. Definitely worth a watch for collectors who appreciate animated works that provoke thought.
