A delightful combination of East and West
I am an ardent movie-goer and when someone told me of a USA-Malaysia collaboration of an indie animation film project, I was intrigued. For one thing, I know how difficult it is to get to the point where indie projects DO get made, and that would involve money, time, a lot of passion and tons of support from all directions. For another thing, I am a fellow South-East Asian and I am always looking to help boost signals of the range of artistic talent and wonderful stories that belong to our geographical area.It so happened that I was invited to the special preview at last year’s Comic-Con and I cleared my busy hectic SDCC schedule just to make it there.
For the budget that it had, “War of the Worlds: Goliath” (WotW:G) was entertaining fare. I went to the premiere being practically realistic and didn’t expect to be totally Wow-ed as if I was a cinema audience watching a Pixar movie. But I was surprised at how good “WotW:G” turned out to be.
Yes, some parts of the dialogue were stilted but it got a little more fluid about a third into the movie. The movie didn’t waste time on too much prose but was centred on lots of action, warfare and those “hey, you are my bro, man” kinda moments. Very “guy” stuff.
I had thought the addition of Raja Iskandar Shah would be the typical token-Asian stereotype but then, he also started using a kris in some key fight scenes.. that’s when all bets are off 😉
The animation was a mix of 2D-3D.. if you are used to watching anime, it is not really distracting. (Again, this is not a Disney production – nor meant to be!) And I loved the futuristic steampunk concept artwork that was applied quite consistently throughout the film.
After all the guns and smoke and explosions that marked most of the movie, the beautiful music scoring for “WotW:G” was something that nailed the emotion and heart of the entire story. At least for me.
Watching “WotW:G” gave me some hope — the mix of styles/ mediums and characters showed how various work in films can cross “the East-West divide” in a positive and unique way.
Here’s to more successful collaborations like these in the future.
Producers: Please Leave H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and ER Burroughs alone
I can’t speak for H.G Wells but I was pretty amazed that this mindless excess of big guns and explosions be promoted as a sequel to War of the Worlds. Maybe Public Domain isn’t such a good thing after all. Beyond the bastardization of Wells original concept the sheer lack of understanding of basic film making 101, 1D characters, cheap Korean animation and ludicrous steroid pumped character designs results in what is essentially a film length ad to sell Goliath toys to a demographic of 7 to 12 year old boys and steam punk fans. Except it’s not steam punk. It’s hard to overlook one of the original promotions for the film advertised it as R rated with “sex in the cockpit”. Classy. It’s unfortunate considering many talented individuals contributed to the film.
