Good but...
I read the artist notes as well as watching the movie. I realize that you do not condone the actions these kids took. At the same time, every time more media attention gets placed on it -yes, newgrounds is media attention- all you're doing is glorifying the event. It was very well done, even though I don't like the topic.
Very powerful flick....
The only beef I have is that according to account, Cassie Bernell (the Christian girl) never said that she believed in God b/c her parents had. SHe was a born again Christian that had accepted Christ. I remember this day when this happened and at the time I thought that hell had opened up. The music was hauntingly beautiful. Very eerie production on a brief episode in our history.
A beautiful piece expressing true emotion
I'm English. I remember this happening, and have read everything I can on it since it happened. I watched a documentary on it last night on TV, and that reminded me of this.
I think that looking past noticeable flaws in this flash, it's a beautiful piece expressing the true emotions of the Columbine massacre. Upon saying that, I noticed these flaws:
You referred to Dylan Klebold as Christian almost every time in the cartoon
Dylan Klebold had the long hair, not Alex, so the letter was signed wrong.
Dylan Klebold was liked by many, hated by few. So him getting hit in the cartoon made little sense.
John Savage said "Hey Alex, what're you doing?" And then "Are you going to kill me?" before escaping.
Alex's t-shirt actually read "Natural Selection"
Overall though I thought this was a perfect representation of what happened, though some more time could've been spent showing the climactic point of the incident, the library, where almost all victims died. And if you ever remake it, show scenes of their bombs.
Good
This was well done with only a few missing details.
A mediocre flash on a serious subject.
In my opinion you did not do justice enough to the people that died by releasing something like this. Make it better, for the people who were killed and wounded in this tradgedy.
2/5
