Triplets of Belleville film Review

Fig1

The Core Premise: There is a possible hidden moral or political meaning regarding commercialization of the entertainment industry and how profit is in charge. The Commercialism being shown by the Mafia characters which are so exaggerated they are like iconography in their shapes. There is parody seen and messages on Hollywood's cliche and industry standard for example the chase scene and also the sign' "Holly food". The triplets however connote individual artists with good skill but poor budget. The narrative includes a Tour De France cyclist and how thy started off with passion then the competition pushes them so far that they start to not be walking in the correct way and then they get kidnapped by this corporate mafia and are instead replacing their means of travel with machinery. There is connections like the train which symbolism a possible progress then there is a means of corporate reasons which causes going round and round in circles and not achieving all that much as the passion is not a part of it.In turn the whole Hollywood criticism is kind of all the same without creativity and also food representing greed and having a connection with money possibly. Like the Mafia can be seen as elitists and this French bonded family are trying to make it with these problems. The film is very Pro-France as the signs of the beret the colours white red and blue in the fireworks and is kind of depicting what could be lost by different nationalities due to them having this need to increase their marketing more like for example exploiting things like the cyclists for mere entertainment and if one loses they get shot.
Authors: The film is directed by Sylvain Chomet who decided to make this animation set in the 1960's. A french man who was working for Walt Disney who described it as a good thing but also a bad thing.he describes what he is showing is imposition of american culture on foreign cultures. So what is being imposed by them. He was influenced by people like Charlie Chaplain and other works in silence movie's and describes his style as a possible reaction to Disney trying to make characters look perfect and also because he loathed the formulatic approach and cliche that he saw in the movies they were doing he also liked having full control over the creative progress.
The Animation: There is hand drawn animation and water colour backgrounds and also there is a surreal french style without much language and more focused on the music as being a primary language instead. The film did well and got a lot of awards after finding his own path.
