Reviews for "Smile!"
good!! very good!!
i like the way you think! smiles are only used in order to hide yourself from the truth. i like it!! good graphics too.....
so face the truth!!! (thats what the movie implies any way....
good job!
Interesting.
Smiles: often cheap and self absorbed. Compulsive smiling is an escape from the horrible drudgery of modern life. Disguising the sickness and death of humanity behind a smile only continues the vicious cycle. What can I say? It’s true.
The films' execution is flawed, but that is unimportant here. The Idea is strong, showing the partial truth -- how we treat and raise each other is WRONg. Cynical and altruistic, this film attempts to raise the minds of viewers to a path of understanding.
Thank you
Are you the ghost of Orwell?
1984 is screamed by this movie. The smile theme was very good and the sad guy trying to smile did a good job of bringing me in to the movie. I really loved this flash, although the ending left me feeling alittle flat (they were robots... having sex) It just seemed to me to reduce the meaning of the rest of the movie. But maybe I am reading to far in to it. Every one should give this submission a good look.
Holy Sheep Shit
I was seriously impressed by the acutely constructed tone, seemed neo-oppressive with an industrial tinge. My feeling towards the tone echoes the already mentioned 1984 flavour, I think it's the futuristic vibe, the dystopian terror, very 1984/Brazil. In terms of the suggestions and idea's I perceived i'm unsure, my view of the postulation of the flash was having a pseudo baseless happiness being crammed down your throat, with the hypocrisy and corupt nature of American politions and U.S.A's (im assuming you're American) existence as a socio economic power it seems indeed happiness is instructed, ordered and for no true justification. I think it also critisizes how happiness is a baseless default, everyone's euphoric for no apparent reason. For it's poignant intellectual concerns and atmosphere this is definitely one of my favourite flashes.
This bit's really unneccessary but i still wish to write because I found the flash so engaging, happiness is definitely possible, I have it now, but finding your own happiness is vital, not just being satiated with an absurd force fed trite designed for the herd.
In a Nutshell,Most people acting happy,putting up the falsehood of happyness,or making everyone else be happy,could really all be sex loving robots.Well.Maybe.
