Autumn Tree

Author Comments

April 20, 1999. The world was in shock as camera footage was shown on television of SWAT teams evacuating students out of an american high school. It was the last moments of a terrible tragedy that cost 13 victims their lives and left many more severly injured. The two responsible, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, turned out to be 2 teenage students themselves of Columbine High, making the motivation of the tragedy even more uncomprehendable.


Autumn Tree is a story based on the lives of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Whitout it being a complete reconstruction, it shows the situation before and during the tragedy. For more information we would strongly recommend to read the authors comments in te menu.


Just a few words considering AT. Alot of this movie is fact based. Do you think we made up the Natural Born Killer poster? Fact is that Eric Harris even codenamed the tragedy 'NBK'. Also allmost all the situations really happened. Dylan taping Eric, the friend who they spared in front of school, the 'Do you believe in God' conversation.... Know the facts before you start to write a 2 paged opinion about their motives when you have no idea what you are talking about. We dont know what was the cause, we simply try to show it from all angles, close to how it really was.


Also the dialogue in the last scene was taken from what they literally said during the massacre.

What happened at that school was... Very unfortunate.

However if you corrupt someone enough the result will be the same.

This was some nice animation the characters are good and voices too maybe some added subtitles anyways nice film

Kick a dog enough, they’re bound to bite back. People are no different

HOLY sHİT

This really brings a new side to the story... the characters behind the chaos. Not so much their reasons (though they list them on paper it doesn't really seem to say the whole truth) as their personalities, and all that led up to that one event... it feels sad not so much because of how it turned, as we already know it did, but because of how it all could have been if only they chose another path... or if someone intervened before it all went down. Makes you wonder if it COULD have gone differently though, or if they were as heavily influenced by games and movies as they seem to be; used their circumstances as an excuse to do what they did... seems so unreal. Still so unfathomable that someone would do what they did because of the reasons they state, and especially when they seemed to have friends, when they knew each other, when people knew them... either way this was an an unexpected kind of glimpse into their lives. Feels... melancholy. Falling leaves. The title suits it well.
