Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

 My take away from the short film is that this story happened in a post-apocalyptic world, seeing that the set was in a rundown place resembling a junkyard which is a convention of post-apocalyptic movies. My interpretation of the plot is that the tiny men that are numbered from numbers 1-9 are trying to live in this post-apocalyptic world while being hunted by a monster. We see when the number 5 is killed, the monster steals his soul, but before 5 is killed he hands 9 something that causes flashbacks. We see towards the end of the film that when that device is connected to another one that the monster had, each of the souls are freed. Things that I noticed quickly in this short film is that there was a constant soundtrack being played, allowing no dialogue. It added to the suspense of the story. The directorial style was mainly surrealism to me, because this film couldn't actually happen in real life.

Long Film: My impressions of the long film is in a dystopian world where humans have all been wiped out which can noticed as there are not many humans displayed in the movie. The doll-like creature named '9' was created before the downfall. 9 has to try to work with all the other creatures to take down the mechanical antagonist of the movie. The character development happens as they learn they need to work together to defeat their enemy. I noticed that within this film they used the right amount of lighting and shading to create an atmosphere of a dystopian world. 

Comparison: The short film had components of no dialogue and a constant sound track that the movie did not have. The movie had more plot, showing the doll creatures had to work together. I enjoyed both films, but the longer film was more my cup of tea just because it gave it more plot and added more characters that were actually enjoyable. \
