Reviews for Autumn Tree

Wikipedia was your source, huh?

When I first saw this on newgrounds' front page, I was interested in what you were going to make a point about the shootings. Unfortunately, you disappointed me greatly with the inaccuracies of this animation. During your credits, I found out why this is so far off of the truth.

I like Wikipedia. I really do. But when you depend on it for the main source before you go off and make an animation that, so far almost 50,000 people are going to watch, I get a little upset. If you actually care about learning anything about Columbine, I suggest you read 'No Easy Answers' by Brooks Brown. Of course, because you didn't read that, you made up bullshit to fill in the holes of what you assumed happened on that day.

First off, you didn't even scratch the surface of the 'why' question. The character 'Dane' in your animation, which is a character meant to portray Brooks, DID NOT see Eric and Dylan in bulletproof vests and carrying guns when he left after 4th hour Chinese philosophy. He saw them dressed in their somewhat usual attire, black clothing. They had bulletproof jackets underneath, and they were carrying their weapons in duffelbags.

Second, you didn't get the video games deal. Third, you missed the mark on the 'Do you believe in God'. I'd love to tell you why, but my 4096 character limit is about up.

Careful What You Publish

I would give this a better mark, but even if you think you have all the facts you're still portraying false information. Even though you claim this to be factually based, many of these facts came from unreliable sources, the ignorant, and the attention starved.

It's pretty obvious what happened and how. The sad part is that the world is becoming too superficial and critical that these things are starting to happen. And being the immitative creatures we are, like mentioned in another review, others have thought about doing the same, just because something doesn't go their way so they want selfish revenge and try to think of the most extreme way to exact it.

Truth be told, I think the entire school curriculum needs a serious adjustment because obviously the lifestyles we live today are not very enjoyable anymore. All you younger ones out there that are upset with the way things are, we are the ones that need to change it. We complain and reject these things, but we're never willing to do anything about it. So remember: There's Life After School

Sorry, I didn't like it

Thanks for the warning, but I have to be frank, I think this was an awful idea for a flash. Even though it was a few years ago, the memory of Columbine is still a raw wound, and documenting the perpetrators just isn't a good way to lay to rest the memories of the victims. Sorry, but I felt an unease as I watched it, like I didn't want to know the viewpoint of the killers. On the plus side the graphics were good and had an original style, but I think you should choose your subject matter a bit more carefully next time.
