This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
it is like one of letters from an old box. it is a message from past. touching, significant, charming more for its age than for the images from it. and this is the basic virtue of "Destino" - to be a dialogue between you and Dali. to recognize the art and spirit and creativity of Dali. and, maybe, after its end, you discover the love story. for see, again, "Destino". and for discover. not only a fascinating work but a form of eulogy to humanity.
I first time find out for Dali when I was 10,I was in gallery full of his paintings.I was pretty confused because I habituate on pictures I know what they mean.So,it was my first touch with abstract art. And today,I see animated film full of Dali imaginary.I was lost for words.In the first hand i was confused,from first scene,but positive confused.Confused just like when I watched the pictures.I can not tell for sure what is film about.It is like poetic song,everybody see it in another way.There is some nudity in film so,it is for adults.I can tell the film is dramatic and beautifully animated.I will never forgot it. It is worth to see. 10/10
Originally conceived as a joint project between Disney and Dalí back in the 1940's, this short animation never got to the stage of being completed for various reasons and instead existed as paintings and storyboards Dalí made with Disney animator John Hench. These were on display at the Tate Modern as part of the exhibition "Dalí & Film" and I did like the fact that I could see the creation of the film and then step next door to watch it and see how close it came to the original design from over fifty years before.Watching it is a strange but enjoyable experience because it is at once Disney and Dalí and this is a combination that I didn't think sat all that well together thematically or visually. I did get used to it but it did jar with me to see a woman with a typical modern Disney face, suddenly becoming part of a Dalí's creation. Perhaps this was the intension but it did feel a bit like someone was flicking a switch somewhere to go Dalí then Disney then back again not so much a combination of styles as the two being placed next to one another in one piece. This feeling aside though, it is a quiet engaging and enjoyable film that I enjoyed immensely visually. Dalí's vision is brought to life really well and the images from his storyboard and paintings generally are instantly recognisable.Again I did wonder if the film would have been quite so "Disney" if it had been made in 1946 with the man himself directly involved at times I did feel that I was watching Pocahontas and it did take away from the experience a little bit. Fortunately the storyboards prevent it going too far from the original images and as such it is interesting and imaginative; the CGI is a blessing and a curse though. On one hand it makes all this possible but on the other it seems significantly less real than Dalí's actual paintings I'm not sure quite why but I think the colours are too simple and the imagery lacking in the detail that some of his work has.Overall though, it is still an enjoyable and enchanting film and a chance to see Dalí's images flowing across the screen. Perhaps a little too Disneyified for my tastes, it is still well worth seeing for the chance to enter a Dalí painting and follow a story about loss and love.
My wife and I accidentally saw this little film as a prelude to The Triplets of Belleville. Having never heard of it before, not being aware it was nominated for awards...nothing, we had no pre-conceived notions about it and were pleasantly surprised. Since we weren't sure what to expect of "The Triplets", and this little cartoon came on first, we thought we were watching Triplets. We felt this was an awesome little cartoon vignette, but couldn't take much more than what we saw. It was truly a visual feast that came close to cerebral cortex overload. We were relieved when we figured out that this wasn't the feature film, but felt that we were treated to something special in addition to the awesome cartoon Triplets of Belleville.
