^^Good Points^^
The music was a great choice, as classical music really seems to build suspense, which this movie definitely did with the drawings of many mobs raising their hands. The graphics were pretty cool, especially how you used the colors.
^^Needs Improving^^
Does this loop or something? It was a little boring how it was just scenes of people in front of monuments or whatever. Really could have used something else...perhaps some v-cam effects.

It seems to me that you didn't watch the whole movie. Well if you havent, you have missed the best part.
I personally like the part with ringing bells and stars falling from the skies. And I like the firework as well.
A pity you havent seen it all.
okay
This flash in my opinion got a bit boring. The whole movie needed more colour instead of just yellow and red but if this was the style for this movie, that is ok with me. The music was quite good. The fireworks could have been improved and could have been made different. You have the potential to make great flash, keep improving on your style and your work will be great.

Thanks for the review!
On the Art and the Rot within Socialism's Heart
The Art:
It is simplistic in style (similar to my own in some ways) but communicates what It sets out to communicate. You've been looking at a lot of soviet era propaganda, right? So you should know that you aren't totally limited to red, yellow, and black.
Try and make your style a bit more powerful. Right now it kind of looks like the kind of clammy graphics that indicate whether a bathroom is for men or women. Look at Frank Miller's work in Sin City (the comic, not the movie) It helped me tremendously with my own style.
How about a white background with black stars in the night sky, or vice versa, instead of featureless, overwhelming black? Or perhaps you could have the sky flash a bright orange when the fireworks go off.
That overwhelming black sky made the one scene with black buildings and a yellow outline look like a crude atari game. Put some details on those buildings. if you want to keep it.
Also, what if you had red objects outlined with gold and gold objects outlined with red? Not for everything, but perhaps for key features to break up the monotony of gold on gold and red on red.
The Rot:
The Socialist blames others for his own failings, rather than striving to overcome them. He reasons that since he is miserable, everyone else should suffer as he does, self-condemmned to the fires of mediocrity.
His weapons are Altruism and Resentment, by which he seeks to make others feel guilty for not severely harming themselves for the sake of others as he has, and attempts to shame them into hurting themselves as he has, when if he would just stop hurting himself he might actually not suffer anymore.
He willfully Ignores the existance people who do not suffer for their charities, who give only what they can, rather than metaphorically martyr themselves for little overall benefit. Claiming to be opressed by the wealthy and successful, the socialist is only oppressed by the socialist. The tragedy is that he means well.
"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.." - Ayn Rand
I am not an Objectivist. However, I have a great deal of respect for the individual, an unshakable belief in self-determination (free will) and understand that the state need not have great power and authority over every aspect of people's lives to be effective and perform it's proper functions effectively. The strongest state can arrive in a few minutes, but life and death affairs are typically a matter of seconds.
Actually the sky flashes in all the colors that the fireworks are.
The Rot:
I really didnt like what was written there, because it makes no sense. A socialist doesnt want to make anyone guilty, he wants to make everyone happy. Those who help the society by a heroic deed will be respected and attain a lot of fame.
I dont want corporations to control every aspect of my life, therefore I support a stronger state, which protects people from exploitation by companies and guarantees them many rights, including the right to have a job, but also free education and free healthcare.
Hmm...
Ok, at first to damien519: You are right, in the past there were some mistakes done, but look what kapitalim does to the world (I don't give any examples because i think my englisch isn't that good, so sorry). But that has nothing to do with the rating the video deserves.
And now to the video: I'm calling myself a communist too, but this video was really cheesy, I mean, no Hollywood Happy-Ende could beat this, sorry, that's why my rating isn't that good. But it seems you have done some work in reserching for your video, that s a pro.
Keep the socialists away from my Lisboa , please!
