not bad...or good
For your first effort, good job man. There really wasnt much to this movie, but...The music was ok, you draw pretty well considering how hard it is to do on flash. Not Impressive, but not by any means bad either
Reviews for "The Mourner"
ok...
so this annoying ticking during the music nearly drove me insane. she's dead... you could cover up her boob :( i don't know why, but it bothers me that it's showing so much on a ghost; maybe a matter of respecting the dead. and one tear... a single tear would really make this more... mourner and less... sit here and watch for 30 seconds gradually going insane as that annoying ticking goes on and on and on... but good drawings and a good idea, and 300x better than what i can do. and i like sappy final fantasy RPG shit and i think it's more original than 80% of what's recently been submitted.
Hmmmmmm
YOU WILL DO MORE IN THE NEXT ON???????
Mmm....
Not a fantastic bit of work.. .but not bad... it's a beautiful concept... truely... the main problem with this piece is the pacing... It's very slow... at the beggining. sure. long silent moment, as the leaves flutter down as we noteice the mourner... then the ghost.. no, ,spirit appears and the exchange... I miss you.. .I know.... then the ghost fades away and the leaves foosh upward again in a few momnts of time.. .rahter then giving us the impression of.. well.. I see two actors on a stage.. neither of thm are very good and both have to wait until the director hisses at them to get off stage and continue withthe play....
essentially, quicken the pace a bit.. it'll help. you've a good hand for art.. also.. whats the music playing?
It touched me but I didn't like it, I feel weird
Okay I feel really weird right now after watching this movie, it really touched me but I didn't like it because it was basically just a guy in front of a tombstone thinking about someone who he loves thats dead, it's an arty submission and normally when a movie touches me in this way I love it and vote high and part of me feels like I should perhaps give this a 3 but I think I'm going to give it a 1, yeah no movies ever made me feel this weird so I guess it's a well done.
