Still the best piece of art on newgrounds
i've seen this movie so frickin many times now and it's still great. The ending may seem out of place for some people but it really makes sense and is a great conclusion of a masterpiece. Great job!

Painful...
The music is really befitting, I enjoyed it. Good job, and the creepy vibe from it is awesome.
As everyone else is putting in their two cents...
...here's my interpretation. This piece strikes me as an indictment of cliques in high school. The panel of judges are wearing either sportswear or trendy clothing, so to me they'd seem to be part of the popular clique. The man being executed is different to them, an outsider. They don't like him and so are trying to force him to change. It's a question of free will. How long does it take of other people trying to exert some kind of authority over you before you eventually baulk?
The protagonist tries to conform but, ultimately, he has no desire to and therefore cannot. And rather than the last reviewer, I'd interpret the look on the girl's face before she presses the button as one of satisfaction. If this guy won't conform then they want to destroy him. And isn't that what high school cliques are all about? The popular kids ridicule and demean the unpopular kids, basically kill them emotionally a little bit each day but still go to their parties without a care in the world...
Excellent movie. I watched it when it first came out and came across it this evening by chance. It's still as powerful and moving as when I first watched it.
