Score: 10
"Spectacular"
date: January 17, 2007
One of the most beautiful flash movies I've ever seen, and it has one of the most beautiful songs, too. The idea to use this song to follow a man in the middle of a nuclear winter is genius. And, visually, this movie is scary because of its amazing portrayal of the aftermath of a nuclear attack.
My favorite scene is when the performer sings "I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky" and, instead of birds, it's a couple of battle aircrafts... a metaphor that blew me away. Fantastic. And, though the whole movie is a composition of static symbols... it NEVER gets boring, because of the amazing way you draw every scene. In the scene I mentioned above, the camera showing the airplanes flying away panning down to show the protagonist's car was a hell of a camera move.
Only flaw? The fact the character's expression doesn't change and his staticness. But that barely does any damage to the movie. Also, congratulations for the beautiful menu with the plane flying across the clouds.
All in all, a beautiful, touching flash-movie. You have a LOT of talent, David.
