The design of the assassins were so cool, especially the sound design with this ones breathing and flashlight, was hoping he’d have a sick fight scene here.

[@sic_boy]

I am so sorry he dies a horrifying gruesome death

[@nicholasthurmond4006]

I was disappointed at this movie's plot, or lack thereof. I wanted the Assassin to have a cool fight scene where he overcomes the monsters like a traditional heroic epic. The fact he doesnt even have a weapon and loses instantly felt like a cop out to me.

[@charliestewart3082]

@@nicholasthurmond4006 mate, I completely agree, would have been unreal to see an assassin fight something like this, obviously he’d lose but to see actual action like the war battle later on in the film.

[@earnem4175]

​@@nicholasthurmond4006The plot is interesting, it represents the cruelty of the world, and spoiler for anyone. Plague Doctor restarted the world two times, trying to accomplish something. After that, the bomb goes off, either a pararrel universe, or the remnants of the bombs

​@@nicholasthurmond4006And the Assassin isn't a badass, that's what I liked about him. Not every guy in a badass uniform isn't badass, they are just expendable soldiers. Which the Assassin was

[@jakeboston1]

I think alot of people are missing something; They Last Man is sending an assassin down, exactly the same, with the same exact brief case of explosives. Each assassin doesnt help anyone, alone, lets them all die, and continues, he comes down here, and almost sets the bomb off before dying. Whats worse, the suit case never blows up, their all defective. Their all dying a meaningless death because The Last Man never changes anything, keeps making the same choices, expecting a different outcome, the definition of insanity. The Mad God?.... All the bombs, are made the same, so they never changed it, they never explode. Hundreds of years worth of assassins have died. If it took nearly a week for a assassin to go down that pod. Then the mountain of cases is evidence, this has been going on for a LONG time.

[@namelles6143]

Wdym he dosent make the same choices he chooses a different route with a different map each time and the next assassin he sends just ends up finding a car driving through a war zone and is never seen again (for those who haven't seen the "movie" he doesent die or anything he's driving in a shitty car then it just hard cuts to the nurse and we litteraly just don't know what happens to him) and the suitcase does blow up at the end there's no narrative or lesson here just a bunch of pretentious garbage framed in amazing stop motion

Why

[@mikemjb2017]

Agreed, this movie teaches the very important filmmaking lesson that you cannot really make a movie without some humanity in it. The assassin is really the only character in this movie who is not overtly grotesque in some manner, as soon as he disappears from the film, the movie fails to make me care, when he shows back up in the flashback, i'm invested again. I wish the whole movie was about him.

Stop-motion animation uses real scaled-down models of things, moving them a tiny bit at a time while filming each movement in a single frame. When the frames are run sequentially they look like continuous movement. It's a painstaking process, but the result is distinctive as you see here.
