The third season of Netflix’s limited-rated animated series “Love, Death + Robots” (Love x Death x Robots / Love. Death. Robots) was officially launched. To the general acclaim, the winner of the 94th Oscar Best Animated Short Film, the first Season “The Witness The Witness” director Alberto Mielgo directed “Jibaro” with the highest degree of discussion, and as the finale of the third season, it did not disappoint the audience.
“Jibaro” tells the story of the water monster and the deaf knight. Without dialogue and strong visual effects, it naturally arouses viewers’ various interpretations of the overall structure of the animation story and name. In a recent interview with CBR, director Alberto Mielgo explained the origin of the mysterious name, saying: “It’s funny, the name doesn’t mean anything at all. In the beginning, I just wanted to be a knight in some kind of forest. ‘s story, I wanted him to look a bit tribal, so I chose a very Spanish word, so I took the name without knowing what “Jibaro” meant. Then I started doing some research and found jibaro A noun indeed. In some countries it means some kind of wild or savage people and in others it means some kind of rural people working in the fields. I think even in Venezuela the word is likely It’s related to the drug trade (laughs).”
Then he went on to add: “Afterwards, I just thought it was a cool and smooth name. For some reason, it sounded a little exotic, so I wanted to stick with it. Plus, we never really had a place in the movie. It’s very interesting to say who Jibaro is. We assume it’s the male lead (Him), but maybe not.” Interested readers may wish to head over to CBR to watch the full interview.
