Reviews for "Musical Influence"

hmmm

your really dumb... i just hope that you truly realize that. but you'll eventually overdose on something so i really don't give a shit. have fun being a fucking jerk off though!

Dj-FreeZe responds:

haha.. well im sorry you seem to feel that way.. the movie inevitabley did infact make it onto the site because of the message it had.. my intention was not to show off my flash drawing/ animation skills... but just to provoke thoes with a wider understanding of the message i tried to get out there... and i indeed do just that... if we all could check the reviews on here.. we have a few that have had a very wide understanding and also know what they are talking about.. i guess. you could say.. i just motivated them to say sumthing! haha thanks for watching anyway ^_^

Well . . .

I shall avoid the point first, and go on to critique the flash itself instead, based purely on the merit of the categories. First of all, it was rather short, but I realize that it didn't NEED to be longer, so you lose no points there. The sound was good and well-placed, but the sirens were a tad loud. I could easily see your style in this, and it is a good one, even though the amount shown in this was limited. The graphics could use a little improvement, since it was only wording, ans some pictures thrown up there. I know more wasn't needed graphically for the message, but I am still only judging the flash on it's visual and audio merit.
As for the message, although I agree with what you say, I think you need to develop the point further. Merely saying that music is being blamed and that bullies and esteem are the causing factors presents only a part of the whole truth. If you were to incorporate all the media that is coming under fire for youth violence, and were to also include some other real factors aside from popularity and the such, I believe that the message would be far more poignant and undeniable.
I did, however, enjoy this flash, and hope this comment was useful. If not, I apologize.
Very good job, especially considering the length. I look forward to seeing more from you.

good message but...

good message but, the flash itself is hardly anything but text... this doesn't constitute a decent flash imo.

in regards to the message, you're right, music is often a scapegoat for when people aren't brave enough to just look around them at the society, HOWEVER, to assume that music has no effect on our thoughts and feelings is both blind and degrading to the art form. Music has a massive influence on our ways of thinking and feeling, perhaps more than any other art form. This is why powerful music like classical composers have lasted for centuries, this is why nearly every religion uses music for up to (or more than) 50% of their worship, and this is why people like Britney Spears who have massive followings need to crawl into their own holes and disappear.

For the flash, good idea but it needs a tad more effort methinks.

Dj-FreeZe responds:

ahh indeed.. it does have a massive influence on thoughts and feelings.. but for a bunch of angry parents to go around shouting holding up signs and protesting that it is a certain genre and a certain type of art that is causing all this trouble is the ridiculous part... thankyou for the intelectual review my friend.. this flash was souly made to bring out the controversy in peoples oppinions on music influence... thanks for watching also ^_^

yeah well...

it is bullshit that people think that music is to blame, or heavy/death/goth/hardcore/... or anything they dont like. you dont see them blaming kenny rogers for people commiting horrible crimes

... kenny rogers is THE DEVIL

Dj-FreeZe responds:

no you dont do you.. instead they blame (in one case) Marilyn Manson for the columbine sho0tings.. saying its his influence.. and than moved on to the whole "rock and metal" genres.. than finaly onto music itself, but no one would take it that far! thankyou for watching man.. appreaciate it ^_^

Makes ya think doesnt it.

WTF? Music is blamed for school shootings? Man that bites. What does do it IS bullying. To me, shool shootings are caused mainly on the whole popularity thing. If your not popular, get noticed by shooting or take down the competition. Music is what relaxes people, not stress them out. Great message *applaudes*

Hint for next flash: More animation. Awesome!

Dj-FreeZe responds:

thanks man! yeah it is in SOME cases.. i tihnk a few people on here beleive im saying that it is the ONLY cause.. popularity and bullying has to stop because to0 many lives are taken through low self esteem and mass un-popularity.. thnkas again for watching and reviewing! =]
