The characters are paintings, not human. One gets beat up, and afterwards appears like a crumpled piece of paper. He is presumably dead, or at least completely paralyzed, but is later revived.

The unfinished characters in the painting are weaker, slower, and more prone to injury than the completed characters. They are bullied, beaten, and enslaved by the completed characters because of this

The movie involves characters in paintings, they are either fully painted, partially painted, or not painted sketches. The fully painted characters express hatred towards the partially painted characters and the unpainted sketches, seeing themselves a superior, and even act violent towards them. This is of course a metaphor for real life bigotry.

The characters are paintings, not real people, so they don’t have injuries in the same way humans would. A character is beat up, after which he appears to be folded up like a crumpled piece of paper. Another character is injured and his nose moves out of place and he has to push it back.

Not directly discussed, but the characters within a painting seeking the painter, their creator, is a pretty obvious metaphor for religion.
