"I'm hungry too George, I'm hungry too."

date: April 6, 2009

The things I liked.
* Pop Art style reminded me of Andy Warhol or Julian Opie's work.
* Relationship between George and the women.
* The repetiveness of words and actions, such as when the woman shouts "nothing!".
* Dialog was very simple yet powerful.
* The movements of characters looked realistically human.
* Bold sound effects, such as the hooves clumping on the floor.
* The woman making a huge scene over food.
* The story's humor and darkness.
* No music.
* The ending.
* Thought provoking

Criticisms
None

Although it's never shown in the story, the characters show obvious signs of a broken relationship.
It's humorous that the woman becomes so mad over the food when it's obvious that it's not the food she's mad at. These sort of attitudes remind me so much of real life arguments.

The mystery with in the story is that we know nothing about the devil or why the woman is so upset. I like this because it keeps the viewer guessing and also creates a scenario in the viewer's mind of different beginnings and explanations to how the story ends up the way it does.

What gives this movie it's interesting vibe is the devil.
In the movie, we don't see him do anything terribly wrong, apart from eat food. This makes me think, he must have done something pretty terrible to make the woman so emotional and violent.
On the other side of the spectrum, the movie might be fooling the viewer into thinking that the devil is bad when in fact it is the woman who is the bad one.

It's a great movie. 10/10. Nothing more to say.

"woah."

For a flash made in 2003, the animation quality is somewhat good, even by today's standarts!
This is indeed disturbing, and, putting it in a good way, quite random. Really interesting and impressing!
Good luck.

"I remember seeing this years ago"

date: October 26, 2008

This animation is one of several done by an artist that seems to excel at bringing out chilling feelings in very short flashes. He brings out very complex thoughts in a short amount of time, and this one I remember most of all.

Strange isn't it, that the woman stabs her problemitic "friend" George to solve her problem with him, yet is stricken by lonliness afterward, knowing that now there is no one to speak with anymore, no one to get angry at, no one to come see her. She killed the only thing she really had - and realized it too late...

That quick, convoluted presentation has stuck with me for a long time.
