Amazing work of art

This is an amazing flash movie of a very real tragedy. The animation was well done, and it was gripping, and even somewhat disturbing, but its all true.After viewing this flash animation I ended up reading an essay about this horrible tragedy, and noticed how fact based this was, although a few things were missing, like the fact that the shooters were throwing pipe bombs all over the school, I also wish it was longer, just to show the amount of violence, and lack of remorse that was flowing through these teenagers minds.

Wow. That was... gripping, intense, and well handled. It showed the tradgedy in a rather neutral way, not placing blame so much as showing influences on their lives, leaving the viewer to make their own descision. The music and art were top notch. I gave the violence a zero because the violence was not the point of the film (at least not in a madness sort of way, you know what I mean.) Somewhat out of character for NG, although I'd really like to see more serious artwork. (more serious, not less funny stuff.) Grade A work

A little Stale.

I agree with the guy before me. The flash came out a little late. That, however, did not affect my voting. The quality of the animation is good. I found one or two shaky sounds (mainly the guns), and that was about it. AnacondaHL has a point that the way the guy was keying on his phone was weird. But nevertheless, I don't think that impacted the feel of the movie much.

This was so, like, 5 years ago!

Ok, I'm really sorry, I know this was a serious flash and everything, but in that intro sequence, the guy "running" totally looked like someone doing an awfully lame dance, and it made me crack up in laughter

Flash wise, the graphics were pretty ordinary. Whatever you may pass of as "artistic" looked, well, just not too impressive. For instance, look at the thumb moving on the cell phone. It's really amateurish looking, and kinda destroys the artsy feel (even though the guy "running" already ruined the mood lol).

Good voice acting though. I was unaware that there was an extra, albeit lame line, at the end "because my parents and family do". I though she just gets shot after "why", but you know how "facts" go. I also remember something about headshots, and going for headshots as the police moved in and the two knew it was about to end.

So, where does this put us? Nothing really has changed, maybe a few heightened security measures here and there, but high school life will always be just that, as life will be life. I thought this was a lame, half-assed and incorrect way for these two boys to get their message across. Message, good, execution (no pun intended), bad. Ok, maybe the message was more just throwing blame, so maybe it should be more like:

Maybe you should think about how kind you are to other people. Not in fear, but for civility, EVERYONE has a life to live and a life to lose.
