\"screen-shot-2016-10-10-at-6-29-29-pm\" Visit www.gothtober.com<\/a> and visit DAY 7 for a\u00a0remarkably tremendous\u00a0stop motion love letter to the 1995 film “Sense and Sensibility” from Sony Studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harold has admittedly seen this movie more than 100 times, and decided that it was high time a bit of art should be dedicated to a certain celebrated cinematic moment. If you have seen this movie, you know exactly what we’re talking about, and if you don’t… well, perhaps it’s time you rented it on Netflix!<\/p>\n

Upon watching this elegantly gorgeous and grotesque build-up of paper parts animation, enjoy the satisfaction and release accompanied by some finely drawn gore that just makes me give an unfiltered, unfettered hat’s OFF to our animator!\u00a0Undoubtedly, the young and capable and entirely talented Harold spent way beyond any acceptable amount of hours to build this work, and it’s just breathtaking. As you may or may not know, the theme of this year’s Gothtober Calendar is “Metamorphosis” and\u00a0I dare say, this theme is\u00a0quite gallantly on display for day 7, we kid you not.<\/p>\n

The spirit of this short film is a perfect visual response to both the literary and filmic concept of repression, the classic real kind from 1795 and perhaps the modern, current repression we’re watching while an orange-faced candidate for the presidency makes brains explode merely by\u00a0saying things out of his face hole.\u00a0\"screen-shot-2016-10-10-at-6-35-07-pm\"<\/p>\n

The age of original, soul-crushing good-old-fasbioned Jane Austen-era\u00a0repression was so strong, mind you, that Ms. Austen\u00a0remained the anonymous author of Sense and Sensibility until after her death! This woman wrote in a room that had a squeaking board outside the door so that if anyone approached while she wrote, she could quickly\u00a0hide her manuscript and disguise\u00a0what\u00a0she was doing by\u00a0twiddling her thumbs or knitting lace or whatever people were doing to get themselves through the\u00a0Napoleonic war. This was not a time to be getting your social vision on, it would be decades before the ethics, passion and exploratory notions in Sense and Sensibility would be truly appreciated.<\/p>\n

In Lettres Philosophiques, Voltaire writes<\/p>\n

What we find in books is like the fire in our hearts. We fetch it from our neighbor’s, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And so we’re seeing some of that deep appreciation here in a multi-level artistic accolade from a dedicated fan to a moment, a moment that encapsulates the synthesis of sense and sensibility, in an outrageous transformation followed by a\u00a0quiet and faithful heartbeat, a bloody, happy heartbeat.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Harold Harold, for the blood, sweat, and tears!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
