The only thing I like about experimental films are..... well actually I can't really say I in particular like the genre in the first place. There's absolutely no story and if there is I see more story in a shitty mainstream music video than any experimental film, they make no sense, shots are composed for hours and usually ends up to do nothing with what I'm watching. Its like reading a book about a ball that travels around the world and every time the ball goes passed something alive it focuses the story on the squirrel or bee and then it vaguely refers back to the ball but it doesn't. Just the fact that the ball can't move in the first place just makes it more fucked up than it already is. You show shots of a tea mug over flowing with diarrhea more times than we need to see about umpteen-billion times and "mr. fox" just standing there with ear bleeding music for the first whole 60 seconds getting nowhere, and somehow cards and moons and fencing and men holding a fox bust with one hand all is for some reason incorporated. I don't see how anyone can like experimental unless you're a braindead-ass-munching-monkey then I can see some potential.
I can say for those of you who hate me at my first sentence, that I liked the use of color in the film, editing was nice and smooth at least I could follow along without wondering where on earth I am in real life, and I did enjoy the creepiness of mr. fox's marble eyes. It reminds me of my misanthrope mother who tore out my father's eyes jammed carrots into his sockets. Carrots are good for your eyes, why not have carrots for eyes?
