segment when she runs away= flurry of emotions


At around the 52 min mark: she overhears the drunks questioning her beauty (and thus worth) and asks to see her; the focus on her eyes, the tears welling up, her agony just building and breaking her spirit. Everything she felt up to that point culminated in this scene.

Every shot is just brilliantly thought out here: the camera zooms out and it portrays her surrounded by darkness, helpless and broken - in the same moment she breaks something in her hand - followed by her bursting down the "walls" of the place and running away. The animation here is breathtaking, truly like a painting, the brushstrokes so fleeting and blends all together; fitting with the raw emotions of the scene. It is so beautifully done. The colors, music and emotions are just seamless. One of the most beautiful segments I've ever seen in my life!
