"Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)" - 2011 Metas

[weber_dubois22]

Sometime during the summer of last year, I wrote a meta on Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) by way of celebrating its tenth anniversary in July. It focuses primarily on the hostility both the film and the director received from the Final Fantasy fandom and general audiences, why I thought it was undue/unjust and how it managed to influence the medium of animation and gaming regardless of its supposed failure in an overt or subvert manner. You can read the meta here on dreamwidth.org or at livejournal.com. You may also want to check out tumblr.com user's punctualdork's meta/break down on the film as well.
