It's Alright
I liked the animation overall...although, I thought it could have been more powerful if there wasn't any dialog whatsoever...sometimes, what you don't hear is stronger than what you do. But, like I said it wasn't too bad.
Reviews for "Autumn Tree"
well now
wow... i dunno what to think of it. i hate it and love it at the same time :P. but besides pointless rambleings, i can say it is VERY long
"........................"
I want to preface by saying that i will not be rating this on violence I think that would be all so wrong and to do so would be to miss the point of your submission.
This Movie is brilliant its the most thought provoking flash movie I have ever seen.
The thing thats so disturbing about it is (and I'll probably take some flak for this) that you create an empathy in your viewer, an empathy not for the atrocity that was (and will always remain) The Colombine Killings, but an empathy for the plight of the two self proclaimed enforcers.
The whole affair makes me sick to my stomach but I along with many others have a morbid fascination with it, Its disturbing what two young men can do when pushed to the edge of despair.
Thank you for sharing this with us, its hard to put into words how it makes me fee but its really an outstanding piece of work.
Touchingly sad
It's a shame what happened in your country in 1999, but its an even bigger shame that both Dylan and Eric were forced to feel as though they had to take things that far.
They're suicide note says the truths that noone else can say - it unfortunately IS the fault of the parent's and the teacher's. Not video games, not violent movies, not poverty; it's the ones who are in a way 'running the world for the little people'. Its sad that society is taught at an early age by the ones they look up to - parents, teachers, neighbours and TV heroes - that difference should not be accepted.
People say that isn't the case, but the simple fact is those people are blind to reality. If only these two guys weren't persecuted for being different - being themselves - things wouldn't have gotten this far and this tradgedy would never have happened.
In a way, for my benefit, I'm glad that this happened. Not glad that the people died, but to the fact that hearing these two poor kid's tale has made me into what I feel to be a better person
This is a phenomenal entry, one that I will remember and view for many, many years to come. Excellent work guys, you should be proud.
10/10
I have one suggestion.
Lol, it's not a really serious suggestion, though. I just don't think you should've had them playing video games in the flash. It added a great element, but people bash on the video gaming industry enough as it is. Masterfully done flash, though.
