Reviews for "A Modest Love Story"

Wow.

This was one of the best flashes I've seen in a long time, the animation was awesome, and the story was very sweet, and also meaningful, if I'm not reading into it too much. It's simplicity allows for individual interpretations. It blows away 97% of the submissions to this site.

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thank you very much. I'm happy that you like it so much. I like simple things, I AM a simple thing.

Really Cute !

I loeve the style, simple and looks great, smooth animation.. a bit slow but it's very good !
keep up the good working !

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thank you.

I can't believe I missed this...

..the first time round

Another great piece of work. I can see you've got a great method of story telling. Well done on creating a deep and meaning plot with no words.

The daily third place is well deserved.

You are becoming my favourite artist!

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thank you! Wow. I'll try not to dissapoint you too much with my future submissions.

You get 24 points for being cool.

Wow...

This is the second animation I've seen by you and, to be honest, I think you're a very poetic person. You seem to think deeply about things and use your animation in order to express it rather than poetry.

I really liked this animation since it seemed like the boy was giving himself to her. I believe that with love, you give your soul to the other person. In this animation, that seems to be what's happening. Sorry if I'm wrong. Either way, it's a very lovely animation. (the music is awesome, too)

Keep up the great work!

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thank you! I think you hit the nail on the head with your analysis of my little love story. :)

I'm glad that people are willing to find their own personal meaning within these movies and share what that might be. There are no wrong answers to what a piece of art makes someone feel...

Thank you for reviewing and for taking the time to watch!

This is my favourite of your submissions. It reminds me of a lot of things. In Requiem for a Dream when they're lying next to each other on the seat. The Roger Sanchez clip for Another Chance, where the chick is walking around NY city with a giant heart, and as people are being mean (as they are) her heart shrinks smaller and smaller. Death too, even though the bit at the end doesn't seem that unhappy, it almost seems like they were both aware of the fact that he was going away, or something. Subtle, I'm so used to seeing explosive emotions, violent reactions and people having mental breakdowns in Flash movies that it's strange to have so much room for thought.

BTW, you have good taste in music.

BlackmarketKraig responds:

An AGH review!
Oh, be still my ever beating heart this IS a good day. ^_^

It's my favorite submission too, even though I have learned a lot since I made this, I have no desire to redo it or fix anything about it. Unlike nearly everything else I do, for which I have more doubts than hairs on my head, this one, for whatever reason, feels right.

I've seen Requiem for a Dream but it's been awhile and my memory is muddy so perhaps I'll have to watch it again so that I can see that moment.

...I did look up the Another Chance clip you mentioned and enjoyed it greatly. It has the gloom and whimsy that leaves an impression (on me at least) and it is left open in the end, which is the way I think a story to be told. Cynics and optimists can both find their muses.

You know, I've never been very secure about my taste in music, but I like what I like and that's pretty much all there is to it. :)

Thanks for reviewing! =D
