The Unknown Soldier and Such

[jackbliss]

Hi I'm new here, my name is Stevenson Christopher.

I've posted two rather serious political movies I guess, with my own humble Flash skills.

The first one being the rather controversial and highly experimental 'The Unknown Soldier'. This is a movie that has banned my ip address from several websites and even a few forums out there, yet still the positive feedback I get from it is astounding. The reviews here itself are very diverse, and I admit I WAS tackling a very delicate issue in U.S. politics, but the same applies to ALL Countries that support war, so I just want to make it clear this really has NO significance to attack American patriotism.

The second one, looks MUCH more Newgrounds like (sprite movie) yet again tackling serious issues, but in a much lighter way and conventional way than before. A sentimental movie that have touched many hearts here (judging from the reviews). It did very well here as I'd expected, even getting 6th place daily feature I believe (ofcourse there is no 6th place so who really knows lol). Unfortunately this movie will soon disappear into Newgrounds as most un-Randy Solemn caliber sprite movies do, and no one will ever see it here again sadly, despite the bold meaning it holds.

I have some Flash skill I suppose, but I have seen much much much better ones put to use in OTHER ways. They create beautiful flowers with no scent, no perfume, in other words, no message to spread around, which makes my work look very sad in comparision to thousands of others here.

In the end, I can only apologise for being so incompetant as to never make it on the Newgrounds front page, or even recieve even the least significant award, nor added to any collection even WITH decently animated meaningful movies.

But my boldness to tell the truth, my bravery to defend what I really believe in despite what the general public wants, will never leave me...

And yet somehow, despite all my genuine faith in myself I still leave in tears for all the failures I've felt here, but comfort from the people that have cherished them.

Good Bye!

God I feel like a fool to have posted this. Anywayz, I'm sorry. I just kinda let my emotions fly out there. I'm alright now. Sorry.

Btw, please give me your opinion on these movies here instead of reviews so we can start a discussion. Er... please?

[jackbliss]

Hey come on guys gimme a break huh? Doesn't ANYONE want to talk about these movies here??? (sigh)

Don't worry, just be patient.

The politics forum doesn't go as quickly as the General one, especially at this time of day. ;-)

Hey thanks!! I'm very new here, and I was afraid I was just embarassing myself. Btw, I'm not the one to critique on Tom Fulp's amazing website, but the Forum could use a modify post button couldn't it? Cuz the stuff I posted on top really sicken me now. :(

[SkyCube]

The idea of an edit button has been brought up many times before, but unfortunatly it would be abused far too much to make it worth while and so the admins have said it will never be implemented. 'Tis a shame how the few spoil it for the many (although knowing this place it might be the other way round :-\)

I just finished watching the first flash. I quite liked it, I think it is a brave flash to make. It really should put war into persepctive for those who think it is cool. Nice use of 'Toy Soldiers' at the end there.

Thank you LegendaryLukus! I'm glad you liked it. The object of this movie was to create an awareness among individuals, especially young ones, how terrible war REALLY is behind all the Heroism they show in movies and stereotypical war and honor stuff.
