I found Madama Butterfly a unique animation that challenges social norms. When the animation turned sexual I was taken by surprise and I questioned the seriousness of what I was watching. As the story progressed, I felt the pain of the women as her child was stripped of her and the symbolic string of life that was connected to it was cut.
As the emotions escalated so did the music in the background which was opera and I felt this had a good impact on portraying the women's pain. Towards the end I found it interesting how the main character seems to run out of the frame as she begins her downfall. As she disassembled her body I was taken back at first, but then I realized what I think Sapegin was she was so broken down about the encounter, that she actually disassemble her own physical body. When her body is resurrected into the butterfly, I drew a connection to the beginning of the story, when the butterfly appeared as she met her former lover.
