oh there you are
I was really surprised at the overall quality of this submission At first glance it looks pretty crappy. I watched through a little bit of it though, and I was actually very much surprised. The opening musical score really complimented the early action.
Fifteen seconds in it seemed like it was another tossed together piece of crap from someone who was screwing around. I soon realized, however, that the author actually pushed himself quite far.
I thought, at first, that this was a newbie flash animator trying his damndest to put together something different. And then I glanced at the animator. Of course, it was all starting to make sense.
Vivid imagery coupled with minimalistic graphics.
Evenly timed music accompanying wizened themes.
Doubtless that this came from one of the best animators on Newgrounds.
Thirty seconds in, the fruits of my waiting finally show.
Harmonious with the graphics, the sound quality jumps up into a superior, incredible atonement.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Should you watch this movie, be aware that the quality drives itself up immensely if you have an eye for it.
While watching, try to keep an open mind.
If you can’t keep an open mind, this movie certainly isn’t for you.
Think twice about everything you see and hear, and you come to the realization that this is merely a misunderstood masterpiece.
Heresy is an excellent word to describe the events that transpire within this Flash. Among the smooth incredible animation is an underlying avant-garde theme of pure genius.
Out the window with old concepts, this Flash comes as a shining beacon of originality.
Unabashedly breaking every rule of cinema, this Flash manages to create the ultimate illusion of “real” flash without resorted to shoddy fmv worksmanship.
The mere thought of voting lower than 5 is utter repugnance.
While I feel that it is nothing short of appropriate to just give this a ten and let it stand for itself, I feel there is so much more to say.
Apropos, it’s common for me to reward a movie with all tens and no explanation, and since I feel that such a special recognition is necessary, it comes also almost required of me as a reviewer, animator, and lo, human being to elaborate.
To merely let such a movie pass without 100% recognition would be folly.
Creating such genius is not the work of an everyday man. No, this is a revolutionary. You simply MUST watch this movie, and keep an open heart. You won’t believe what you’ve been missing out on, dropping to your knees and crying to the heavens “Why, god, why? Why must I have been blinded for so long?”
How often does a Flash movie cause us to ask ourselves why we exist? Not often, and certainly not in the manner that becomes so apparent here.
I, for one, am utterly humbled by the sheer brilliance at work here.
Nothing had prepared more for what I experienced here.
Genius, my good sirs. Genius.
