    Ji Woon Kim Rhetoric 105 Professor Mary Hays 15 March 2016 Loss of Original Intention: Budget for Art or Art for Money? A Review of Alter Ego by Laurence Green, mainly focusing on the movie Ryan by Chris Landreth *Blue-Revised As the title of the movie suggests, it is all about Ryan, who was a notable animator and an Oscar nominee back in 60’s and early 70’s, contributing greatly to moving arts. This movie was made by Chris Landreth, who got interested in him after he got to know that a big figure in animation industry was now living in a street in Montreal. Interestingly, the movie is based on an actual interview, and it is dubbed within the animation. This actually made the movie realistic, as we can hear real voices of the two animators. However, the notable point of the movie is that all characters in the animation have distorted looks. The reason is because Chris wanted to show psychological status through physical attributes. Chris uses surreal CG imagery to show the psychology of each character from his technique called “Psychorealism”(Chris Landreth). The use of “psychedelic CG animation” elucidated the life and unstable mind of the legendary animator, Ryan Larkin. In the movie, their relationship was beyond one-way sympathy toward the wrecked life of Chris’s hero, Ryan. Especially, it shows through the embodiment of “colorful chains” around both of them after the success in their career. When Ryan achieved the climax of his career with “Walking” and “Street Musique,” colorful chains wraps around his face.
