Reviews for Identity (2006)

[Fishslap]

My opinion

It was nicely done, yadda yadda.

But it really felt like it wasn't. I'm sure you'll get a good grade, but to me the style pretty sucked. It seemed poorly animated and the sound effects were more annoying. I'm not a masochist, I do not enjoy making myself digusted, but the toilet scene just felt like it really pushed that. It had little plot, little action, and if you're going to make something based purely on style I'd much rather it was a nice style. But no, I see a frame by frame person's life go crappy in a pretty boring nasty way. And so I think it has all too little artistic merit or entertainment, and has now been given an official "crap" rating from me.

And don't go angry, it's my honest view, if you want an argument moan at the people who can't decide whether it's a dog or cat or whatever the hell it is.

Peda responds:

hehe, thanks for your views. I am not angry, just upset that you didnt enjoy it- it was experimental afterall, these things happen.
And if im going to argue- its with people who for no good reason make suck-ass, dumb-shit reviews like 'THAT SUX. U SUCK LOL WAS CRAAAAAAPPP!!1!!'... if u know what i mean. thank you for the review :)

Spectacular

This is awesome. I've had days like that before, except without all the dead people...

The animation style worked really well for the films concept. The lack of color did the same also.

Peda responds:

thank you. hehe, dead people. At least you can have relief that you only experience them (daily) online!

Wow, this is great work

I gotta be honest, I think this is a really powerful movie. It really gives a pure feeling of simple sadness that is so simple it's disgusting.

This is an excellent work.

I loved it.

Peda responds:

In art, less can be more. In life, even the most simplest thing can be most effective. Thank u for liking the themes of this film- or enjoyin them at least :)

I liked it

I really liked this flash, not exclusively cause' of blood and stuff, but what it shows. A daily routine but with some little details in particular, the cut shaving, the bird egg falling, the dog (or bunny) dead on the street. How he gets stained because of staring at it and then a car passing and spilling all the blood in his face and the way he throws up. Then washing his face on that filthy bathroom, classic of public services like those, it's just nasty. But I liked when the plane crashes and he just doesn't move, and he's not even shocked of what he just whitnessed, like if he didn't know what he really cares about.

Nicely done! Keep up the good work.
Have a nice day :3 -

Peda responds:

no, YOU have a nice day :) Im having a BRILLIANT day thank you very much :D FRONT PAGE! As soon as my friend saw it, he commissioned me to make a music vid for him, using a similar style- oooh!
Thanks for the great review- nice interpretation of how you enjoyed the story :)

good.

usually I don't like this specific style of animation, but this was preety good. In the begining when it shows him walking away from his house, I thought it was gonna explode or catch fire beceause he never put out the fire in his kitchen.. Well, anyways, good movie.

Peda responds:

good observation! The fire kept going for the original idea of him comin home at the end of the day to find it burnt down :)
Toaster fire could have been put out in the transition from bathroom to front door.
