Reviews for "two brothers"

Hmmm... Something seems familiar....

Alright. I haven't been on NG for a loooong time and I wouldn't even know about this movie if someone hadn't told me.
I would first like to say that even though this animation was blatantly copied off of actually two of my own, I am not really bothered. I am in fact honored to think that someone would like my shitty work enough to copy it.
That being said, it is important for us to realize that copying in the world of art and animation is basically the dumbest thing that can be possibly done. It is unfair to the original artist (though personally, I don't care that much....yet here I am typing this review...) and it permeates the stench of unoriginality. I assumed that you were a younger artist so copying would have been more forgivable. However, after just checking your account, it turns out that you are 18, and a year older than I am.
Now let's go into the examples to back up my claim that even though you have "not seen Mask before", you have managed to copy it.
First is a minor offense. The first shot featuring a silhouetted character and a leaf or something blowing in the wind. There is a similar shot right at the beginning of Mask.
Next, we go to an animated segment after the text says "to be king." The long haired dood swings the sword horizontally, a shot taken directly from Mask.
Then there's a bit where one of the guys' sword gets knocked from his hand and lands in the ground, similar to what happens in Mask.
Then there's a segment with some hand to hand fighting. One of the guys kicks vertically into the other guy, a shot which is taken not from mask but from my other crappy animation Green Brown.
The guy then falls to the ground just like the guy in Mask. He then rolls over backwards, another bit taken from Mask.
There are several shots of the two guys' faces as well as a shot of a grin, similar to Mask.
Finally, one of the guys runs by the sword sticking up in the ground, and grabs it, another shot taken directly from Mask.
Don't believe me? Just click on my user name and find the links to Mask and Green Brown from my profile thing.
So yeah. I'm not particularly upset but it's good for people to know something that has been copied when they see it. Good luck with your animation. I hope you do well in your future.

i think i have to disagree with the last person

they are slightly similar in appearance but i watched both a couple times and didn't see anything "copied" from Mask. the movie wasn't too stellar anyway. it was ok just not great. nothing that should get daily feature.

He forgot to mention a couple things...

Besides his epic, well thought out, non-cliche story line, the entire feel of the 'movie' was inspired ( I'd go as far as to say stolen ), by Jeffrey Liu ( Thirstyforchicken ) , who submitted a movie called 'Mask' back in early 2005. You only need half of a brain to see that several animation segments were copied from TFC's animation ( which can be found here: newgrounds . com/portal/view/239365 | hate to link to something, but it is kind of necessary ). So, check it out. It's more than obvious. What annoys me is that the kid actually lies about it. All he needs to do is give him credit.

"Wow"... in a bad way

That Blew chunks. Get some original ideas. WTF is this doin on the frountpage... Im now planning on sueing you for wasting my time.

Ya man..

Really, come up with your own idea's, like they said, all you did was copy "Mask" by TFC..
