Review of Salad Fingers

Salad Fingers (2004– )
7/10
Alone with the Shadow
18 December 2016
The reviewer at the bottom of this list had it right. Salad Fingers is great mood. But what does it actually show? The world it portrays is a world of ONLY the Shadow; The Shadow and isolation - nothing more. But this is a purge: it does not show the truth of the world: only Miyazaki does that. Spirited Away does it best.

A world of only shadow appeals only to those who blind themselves to light.

*** I still give this 7 for the mood and for nostalgic reasons. I like it when the red water comes out.

**** I refer to the Shadow as Jung described it; that hidden, darker aspect of the unconscious.
