IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL.

First off I have to say that I had no idea who Henry Darger was before I watch this movie and now I really want to know more about him. I especially want to read his book, The Realms of the Unreal, which seem like an obvious attempt to escape the harsh realities and boredom in his real life and glorify them through story telling. But moving on to the point of this post, the aspects of dynamic imaging/or motion graphics as tools for telling his story.

The amount of motion graphics in the film was not especially large, however even in its minimal form it served to create a much more visually interesting presentation. By bringing the work of Darger to life it became much more interactive and engaging for the audience, and allowed them to see the story of the Realms of the Unreal come to life through Darger's own work. Which is much more interesting than looking at a static image while someone talks about it.
