Reviews for "Autumn Tree"

Bold, but aimless....

Although this flash had a strong stylistic element, and was masterfully done, it's hard to understand where the focus lies. There are times where the animation become too uncomfortable, and I refer to something other than the violence. It seems as though, through certains points, that you are almost empathetic for the killers...almost as if the killing of innocents was somehow just and right. The whole animation seemed to eminate from the point of view of Harris and Klebold, and focused mainly on how they felt bullied and cast out, without so much as a nod to the fact that 70% of all school pupils feel that way. There was no explanation, or even speculation, on your part as to why they did this, further than the usual "we were bullied" view.

As I said, a masterful flash, but slightly disturbing in it's sympathy towards the murderers, and not the victims, with no insight into social or personal matters.

You've proven yourself adept at tackling difficult issues intelligently, but try to be more objective in your stance.

Hello.

I suppose any piece of work based on the Columbine shootings would be very similar to each other, but your work seemed much too reminiscent of Gus Van Sant's "Elephant." For example, the beginning where the two killers tell their friend to "Fuck off," and even the sequence of areas, such as going to the cafeteria and then the library, seemed directly from "Elephant." You state in your description that the dialogue and sequence of events were factual, which I won't argue against, but again, my issue with your presentation of the events just seem too similar to a previous work. Perhaps you have not seen the movie, or you might have even devised this flash before Gus Van Sant even speculated about basing a movie off of Columbine, but even so, it has been several years since the incident and other attempts at representing the tragedy in a media aspect have been numerous and better done.
Good flash though.

Well done man.

Here's my review...

Graphics- Very well done.
Style- Original...
Sound- Not good, but not bad, especially the gun shots and screaming.
Violence- It's Columbine...

I like it it could have been a little better as far as the voices went but overall it was good.
