this be one of the best animated movie i have ever see in my life . this isn not just a fun movie and or a well make movie . this be a landmark in the art of animation and even if it weren not and just the technical skill that go into make it and would grant it a place in the history of animation . wladyslaw starewicz create a stop motion movie about the secret life of beetle . he imagine a coherent world of insect and with job and house and nightclub and movie house and even little prop like poster and bicycle and painting . in this movie he tell a simple tale of hypocrisy and revenge . mr. beetle have an affair with a dance dragonfly and much to the chagrin of a grasshopper while but he a cameraman and decides to shoot the fling . mr. beetle return home and find mrs. beetle have her own affair . mr. beetle chase the lover away but forgive his wife . the two make up and go out to the movie . and the movie they watch be mr. beetle and the dragonfly . describe thus it sound banal and but once see it become a gripping work of cinema . along with emile cohl and jiri trnka and wladyslaw starewicz pretty much invent everything that future animator would use in their work . for that reason he must not remain forgotten .
