Made In Abyss | Recommendations
“Made In Abyss” will tell you ahead of time: it can’t be uninteresting! .
Many people are not good at painful descriptions and so on. I think it will damage the hearts of the tender-hearted.
Nevertheless, it is a shocking masterpiece.The wonderful thing about this work is the beauty of the drawings and the question of why humans look into the abyss even though they know the dangers. The answer to the question “Why do we look into the abyss when we know the danger?” is clearly shown as “Curiosity cannot be stopped by such a thing”, and by showing the viewers the actual experience of “fear” and “curiosity”, the film convincingly shows that “curiosity can conquer fear”.Fear, but wanting to know, wanting to see… irrepressible curiosity.It cannot be stopped by fear.
And only those who have a curiosity that does not let fear stop them, and only those who look into the abyss, have the “right to know the truth”.How can such a thing not be interesting!Be careful not to be drawn in and swallowed up.
