Briefly describe the opening.
The scene opens with fast cutting with fade transitions of the creation of a ragdoll, 9, accompanied by a voiceover describing the situation at that point. "Our world is ending, but life must go on". Then it cuts forward after the title a substantial amount, we can tell by the lighting of the environment, and 9 explores his environment, leaving the house. He ends up walking into another character that looks just like him, 2.
How does it fit into the film as a whole?
It sets the scene very well, the grim environment, the death and lack of life. At the end of the intro we have the assumed death of 2 trying to protect 9, which fuels the future events of the film.
Why did it appeal to you?
The film itself was very unique to me, seeing these animated ragdolls in our environment, the only life left on this earth, being of the steampunk genre. There lacks any moment in the film where things stand still, action and plot evolving at every minute. It's is also very interesting to see the ragdolls forage in improvise form their surroundings tools and solutions.
