ANOMALISA FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
Anomalisa is a unique and groundbreaking film that has captivated audiences and critics alike since its release. It was co-directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson, and stands out as a stunning example of stop-motion animation, utilizing a form rarely seen in mainstream cinema. This film allows for an innovative storytelling experience that delves deeply into the human condition.
The narrative centers around Michael Stone, a self-help author who has lost his way in life, experiencing a profound sense of disconnection from the world around him. Set against the backdrop of the monotonous backdrop of Cincinnati, Ohio, the film intricately explores themes of isolation, identity, and the quest for genuine human connection. Each character, portrayed through unique puppets, adds depth to Michael's existential crisis.
One of the most striking features of Anomalisa is its impeccable voice acting. The main characters, including Michael and Lisa, are voiced by David Thewlis and Jennifer Jason Leigh, respectively. Their performances breathe life into the puppets, allowing audiences to connect emotionally with their struggles and desires. This remarkable synergy between the animation and voice work enhances the film’s overall impact.
The animation itself is a vital part of what makes Anomalisa special. The painstaking attention to detail, combined with the rich textures of the character models and backgrounds, creates a visually captivating experience. The use of stop-motion allows for subtle nuances in the characters' expressions, making moments of sadness, joy, or confusion feel tangible and relatable.
Furthermore, Anomalisa raises significant questions about the nature of reality and perception. The film cleverly utilizes a distinct audio technique where every character, except for the protagonist Michael and the pivotal Lisa, shares the same monotonous voice. This creative choice symbolizes Michael's emotional alienation and amplifies his struggle to find meaning and uniqueness in a seemingly uniform world. As a viewer, one cannot help but reflect on how isolation can distort our perceptions of those around us.
For your consideration, Anomalisa is not just an animated film; it is a poignant exploration of the human psyche. Its rich narrative, coupled with innovative visual storytelling and powerful voice performances, positions it as a worthwhile contender for various awards. It invites viewers to engage deeply with its themes and to reflect on their own experiences with connection and understanding in an often disjointed world.
In conclusion, Anomalisa stands out as a mesmerizing cinematic achievement that appeals to both the heart and the intellect. Its unique blend of animation, voice talent, and storytelling invites audiences to reassess their perceptions of emotional connection and the complexities of human life.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
