What is the film about? Why did it impact you the way you said it did? Please tell a bit about the video when you post them so others can decide whether it is something they want to watch.

Я просмотрел нормально до конца.
Не знаю как прокомментировать. Не Норштейн, но что-то философское есть.
Наверно не очень хорошо сравнивать что лучше, что хуже, да я и не специалист-искусствовед. Вот посмотрите кто хочет. Раз уж написал про Норштейна. Может кто не видел. Здесь слезы потекут от доброты и пронзительной искренности. Сам фильм в России многие помнят с детства и даже название его стало нарицательным.

I ran fine to the end.
Don't know how to comment. Not Norstein, but something philosophical there.
Probably not very good to compare what's better or worse, but I'm not an expert critic. Here's a look at who wants to. Since I wrote about Norstein. Who may not have seen. Here tears shall flow from kindness and poignant sincerity. The film in Russia many remember from childhood and even its name became a household word.

You can't call the cartoon "Hedgehog in the fog" by Yuri Norstein is not a philosophical treatise, not a psychological study. However, this dear animated film was so abstract and metaphorical that it can live several interpretations.
Barely visible in the fog of the figure, falling leaf, melancholic, lazy river — the inhabitants of a lonely world. Empty, strange. The viewer projects onto the story with misty the hedgehog, emotions filling the hazy void. Norstein creates a perfect line, where the voltage generated by excitement, suddenly softened by the soft and mysterious voice-over narrator (Alexei Batalov).
Along with "Tale of tales" of the same Norstein animation "Hedgehog in the fog" was named the best film in the history of animation.

Hi Nienna

Sorry, I was in transit when I posted and didn't have enough time. I also didn't want to forget to post about it.

From the page:

"A modern adaptation of the myth of Hercules, BAM tells the story of a young boxer struggling to negotiate between his shy, bookish nature and a divinely violent temper. Where does this rage come from? Is it psychological or environmental - or is it something altogether more primordial?"

It impacted me because I can relate to the antagonists frustrations. I know that fury too well. I believe it's something I've been battling/suppressing/containing for many years.

I didn't have this trouble. I recommend refreshing the page, or clearing your browser cache. If you can tell me which browser you use, I can provide steps you can follow to clear cache.

Basically, cache is the content you download from websites, which your browser displays to you visually. It contains text and pictures as an example. Over time, this data can congest your browser for lack of a better description. Clearing cache more or less dislodges the corrupt data, allowing your browser to redownload the data the next time you access a site, and improve over all browsing performance when visiting new sites.

Thanks for this recommendation youlik.

I'll share my thoughts on this film after I've sat down the watch it! I peaked at a few scenes and I like the art style so far.
