Reviews for ""Strange Fruit""
Thank you.
Whenever I watch a flash, I always take the time to read the reviews written by other people. As I read the ones about your piece, I was rather...well, upset. However, I do not want this to become a blog or a forum about racism, so I will just tell you how well you did your job.
The song was just as dark and melancholy as the flash. The artistry was brilliant and delivered the song on a silver platter. I read on one of the reviews that the song and flash were too slow. Well the way I see it, if the song is slow, you cannot have a fast-paced flash tied with it, the contrasting materials would undo the mood and message. The music was synced nicely and it all flowed smoothly. It probably would have been better to have the lyrics appear as the they were sung, but nonetheless I enjoyed it.
Great message and great flash.

Thank you.
great song. bit dim...but great
although i find it a bit dim for my taste and a bit focused on the past. i do believe that racism is bad. most of it stems not from the person themselves but the inviroment, the people and the times that they were in. even in being human. a different skin tone can still mean life or death in certain areas. racism is now just localized in certain spots and may take a few 100 more years for it to finaly be gone
Wow.
That was a great intepretation of the song and the theme itself.
Kinda liked it
Was way to slow and moody for my taste, but i still feel this is a nice piece of art. I also found it was a nice break from all the non sensical stuff thats around the internet these days. People tend to care less for politics, how to treat your common man i general.
I also feel it has to be said that EVERYONE is a racist more or less. So far i havent met anyone that hasnt had any sort of rasictic view, even those who call themselve anti.
I have been on both sides and ive found that racism isnt born from stupid people, but from people who is bent on hating. Hate is what brings us together, and hate is what eventually will tear us apart.
Kudos for making this!
And gj on animation even though as i said, wasnt that fond of this type of genre or whatever. ^^

Thank you. Everyone is in a certain sense a racist. this is not necessarily a bad thing, there are differences. Even if they are only skin deep, these differences remain (not saying one is better than the other). the big problem is that poeple tend to focus on our differences instead of what we have in common.
