Very well done
Te best thing about this piece is the music, or lack there-of. Even dramatic music would ease the tension but instead there is just a white noise leaving no barrier between the viewer and the victim.
Ending was kinda weird but the rest was well done so at that point I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
excellent, but where is the sound?
it was really good, and I think I got the message. but you should have had more sound effects! NEVER underestimate the power of sound effects! you should do a remake of it, with sound. keep it up
if you didn't like it...
...you didn't get it.
good
I like it a lot, but it could have done without the ending...
wow
Very interesting. I skimmed through the reviews and saw alot of people confused about the ending. One theory is that the Smilers have such little remorse, find so much joy in what they're doing, and are so twisted in mentality that they celebrate what they've just done in the most primal/vulgar way possible.
I see alot of people taking this as a view of government. But if you look closely at the way the Smilers are dressed, they appear to be "popular" teenagers. I took this as a metaphor for how they treat those who do not or will not conform to their standards...they intentionally break down the 'less popular' individuals and return to (what is most likely a hyperbole for) their lives and tendencies.
I wonder if this was influenced by Aldous Huxley in any way?
