"Propaganda."

by: PiGPEN
date: January 12, 2006

Music was annoying, Graphics were good in some parts but crap in others so average overall, it pisses me off that you try and dress this up as having a message when its just some meaningless violent stuff. Dont try and give meaningless violence a meaning because then it becomes propaganda.

"thats not how it happend at all.."

date: January 12, 2006

I know some of you think it was terrorism but the fact of the mater is it was the our own government who was the one who killed all of those inocent lives. just so they gain profit.. and have a reason to go to war. osma bin ladin used to be in the CIA whats to say he's still not working for us? wake up people. look into it search for the evidence its out there man.. but over all shocking movie man stirs up the emotion facter there..... but seriously check it. Im for real on that

"okay?"

date: January 12, 2006

nice drawings and backgrounds, but i bet this might stir up some unneeded controversy. the plot behind this one was a bit bad and some of the points probably could offend some people.

"close but no cigar"

date: January 12, 2006

Your graphics were awesome,and the music only so/so. What bothered me mostly was I think the 9/11 highjackers weren't caucasians, nor did they have 9mm autos. that would have been a smash if the airliner hit a Islamic target, or if you'd represented the correct people that were responsible for the attack. Thats what I first thought it was a payback highjacking, a see how you like it affair. Anyways keep trying you got skills.

"Blah and blah and blah."

date: January 12, 2006

I can't say much that other reviewers haven't already hit upon very accurately. Except, that this flash could be very cool....if it were complete fantasy. 1 Because it is not realistic in the first place. 2 Because the 9/11 attack is nothing I, or most people, really want to 'make fun of'. You're making fun of it because you're turning it into entertainment...and, I feel, without any respect at all.

I'm sure there are millions of people shedding tears for terrorism. But again, entertainment in the form of colorful 2 minute cartoons to a track of completely unrelated music is not what people are looking for in their tremendous GRIEF.

"I was a bit disapointed..."

by: OxSox
date: January 11, 2006

Listen I feel music is one of the most important asspects to an animation and I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers as much as the next man, but this was not the right song for what you submited. Furthermore, I felt your usage of terrorism was quite manipulative; since as you've admited this actually has very little to do with the events as they actually took place. When you use terrorism (and particularally 9/11) in a flash your invoking feelings and ideas that are very powerful, it is not something you should do lightly. I felt that you did not bring anything new to the table, just played off old emotions. On the plus side your artwork is stunning and I'm sure with the talent you have you could (and will) create amazing submisions that I would love.

"A note to Damienzilla"

date: January 11, 2006

Damienzilla, you are the reason people despise our nation. People like you are so blind and think in such a black and white, you don't even realize that you yourself are the very same kind of extremist you hate and wish to destroy. You rely on simple logic and loyalty to your ill thought out cause. Your mentality disgusts me, and if you read this I just want to let you know that your mind is no better then that of a terrorist who would shoot at a civilian for their cause.

Now then, Red Star! The flash was outstanding and I actually remember the one this was made to improve upon. It was outstandingly drawn and had a meaning to it. Well done!

"I doubt it."

date: January 11, 2006

I should HOPE you're only doing this to test your flash animation skills and don't believe a bit of this story you created. Otherwise, get real.

Terrorists don't feel any sympathy for who they believe are "infidels". They don't even care about however many fellow Muslims they may kill with them in the explosions (it's not like only Christians died in the 9-11 attacks!) Terrorists are happy to slaughter as many people as they can because they are brainwashed into thinking that in doing so, they will go to "Allah" and receive 70 virgin brides for their service.

Crying? My ass. More like they get boners thinking about how they can defile their virgin brides in "heaven" much as they do here on earth.
You have great animation skills but you get a 0 for unrealistic and insensative content.

"oh noes! what a touchy movie!!!"

by: cuak
date: January 11, 2006

let me tell you, I love the style, the smooth animation, and the way you draw characters, maybe I should try to break my hand to see if that helps my drawings too !! :D

now There's one thing I do not like: the emotional perspective on terrorism (shedding a tear out of sorrow) I'm pretty sure 9/11 terrorists did not feel any kind of sorrow for the people they've killed. The only sorrow they can feel is about their people and their land. The attacks on the towers and the pentagon was just their way to make a clear point about it.
