Reviews for "Smile!"

very good

to everyone whos haveing trouble understanding this heres a review that will help"*note this review is from another user because they really got it on the dot i think
Well.... this flash was, in my opinion, incredible. I'm pretty sure I understand the message, and I believe it to be deep, especially with the large use of metaphors...

Basically, the jury represents most of the worlds population. The fact that they are robots is significant because it shows that most people simply say nothing bothers them, or ignore all the bad things in life... they focus on all the good and don't let any of the bad get to them. The one guy on the podium is one of the few of us (I say 'us because i'm like this) that actually notices the bad things.... we realize that someone has to pay attention to them, or they will spiral out of control and end up screwing everyone over.... yet, we are shunned for being, quote-on-quote "goth" or "emo" simply because of this different outlook. See, we try to be as much like them as we can, while still being cautious of the bad things (that's why, even though he was smiling, he was doing it only half-heartedly), but its never good enough... The spines or spikes or whatever you want to call them are physical representations of the verbal and emotional jabs we get from those robotic happy-people. Eventually, its too much, and we give up. At that point, society (the jury) moves on, and forgets that it ever happened (that is, what I believe, the orgy signifies... yes, I think it does have a justification).

Of coarse, this is not neccesarily what Aleksander Wasilewski intended, but its how I envision it... This is one of the best on New Grounds.... A very good reprive from the mindless blood and gore rituals of most other animations. Sure, it has blood and gore, but it is MEANINGFULL blood and gore. (9/10, sound could have been a bit better... sorry)

interesting, except the end.

I really like the idea of this movie, smile or die, i just cant understand the ending, i first saw this on deviantart and quite liked it, but seriously, the ending!

Dark, twisted and true!

I was stunned by this movie, one of the first ones I saw on newgrounds, the ideas in it are extremely relateable to having been in situations where I feel that it is happening 2 me. Love the noir!

This is just weird

I know there has to be some reason to this, but i can't find it, its just creepy weird, and wel lkinda pointless.....weird

A Movment

I guess not many people understand it. This is my interpretation. If im right is kinda like the Hitler Movement. Communism, I saw those long banners and instantly thought that. Its either do what the supreme ruler says or your not worth anything except matter.
