Reviews for "Autumn Tree"

Not quite neutral

I know the piece wasn't intended to glorify them, but I still don't think it came off as neutral. The music (which I'd ordinarily enjoy) seemed overly reassuring and sympathetic while hateful and murderous plans were in the works. Maybe it's too heady a topic to take on in a single animation, but I think there was a lot of lost potential in depicting so many wasted lives (including the shooters) as a result of this environment. As it is, it sort of comes across like a love story (which I assume you didn't intend).

this is one of the best videoshorts on ng

autumn tree is a very sad yet true depiction of the tragedy at columbine high. the character voices are very lifelike in showing what went through the minds of these individuals

Lacks Truth

I don't think much research was put into this animation. Otherwise, it would not be based on the sterotypical hearsay.

Please look up the facts before producing an animation in tribute to some event.

That brings me to point two:

Who are you remembering in this animation? The victims or the killers? It seems to me that you are glorifying the killers.

Well...

Quite honestly, this is about the last thing I expected. When I hear that someone wrote or created something related to Columbine, I expect a BIT of exaggeration of the events. This, however, takes the cake. Manson, the "do you believe in god?" (even more dramaticized here) line, "they were only using guns," "they got picked on," etc.

The graphics were very nice, and the soundtrack fit the atmosphere, but this is raping what actually happened, I'd say.

I don't agree with the shooters, and I don't look at the shootings with a light heart, but I'd rather have an honest portrayal of the events.

Exellent

I'm...i'm stunned! That was an amazing portrayal of this unfortunate events. It was developed perfectly with character's mood just right. That was so incredibly great! Keep it up (but maybe with a funny toon lol)
