We Want to be Alive

About This Movie

We Want to be Alive is a unique blend of animation and music that captures a certain bleakness in its narrative. The story follows two humans and a dog seeking refuge amid a storm, but there's a pervasive sense of isolation. Not many pay attention to them, which heightens that feeling of existential dread. The animation style is somewhat raw but effective, conveying emotions through its simplicity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the atmospheric tension. It's interesting how the film intertwines themes of survival and neglect, all wrapped up in a world where the ordinary seems indifferent to the struggles of the characters. It’s definitely distinctive, not your typical animated fare, but there’s something hauntingly relatable about their plight.
