Very nice!
I thought this was brilliant.
Very 1984 (whether it was meant to be or not o.0), very dark, very stylish, very nice :).
Reviews for "Smile!"
Very deep
Hey, Great job! You have created flash that captures a very dark and depressed feel to it. The greyscale colouring and the dark music are amazing examples.
As for the meaning behind I think i know the answer. Like from Pustota, I have not right to claim that i know what it means exactly, but I believe this movie is depicting our society today - how you are expected to be like everyone else and fit it to the genres (like the different people pressing the buttons). Those who arent accepted or dont fit into any of the areas of their society are looked down upon, or in the case of this movie, killed. The fact that the figures sitting down are robots shows that they arent driven by free will, or lose thier humanity, and the sex at the end shows basic human nature.
Am I wrong? I might be. Ah well.
OTHERWISE...
Great job! ^^
gd but one thing
it was a great flash.. one of the best ive seen in a while. i fought it quite eerie and freaky when these "people" are smiling as this dude gets blasted with nails in his back.. kinda disturbing but i think you should have just left it at the fact that the guy gets shot off the egde.. the rest of wit when the disco ball comes down from the celing ruins the strange and erie side of the whole story for me.. soz dude... keep them comming tho...
Along the lines of Scary Doll awesome.
Well, I certainly didn't see that one coming. I've always been a fan of dark and thought provoking flashes, so I obviously enjoyed this one. This particulary movie reminded me somewhat of the ScaryDoll movies, though your style is thoroughly original, I wonder if that artist influenced you in any way? Very well done.
Very insightful
I'll sum up all my opinions of the flashes that you have made so far - I believe that your movies have something to do with a post-apolcalytic/modern world, with forced propaganda and laws that now take the driving force in our lives. The ritual of humiliating that person by putting a senseless ideal of 'smiling' to prove nothing to anyone-as they were robots-and only to himself, the true test of his spirit.What it did give is, enjoyment to the person "behind" the machines, as he/she basked in his own power over the common person, to take away the most precious thing he has- his pride,his self-respect, then his life. All this because of the corrupting power of technology with greed...
It was a great insight of what our future might possibly become- as unfortunate as it is, it has already begun...
