Reviews for "The Masquerade"
amazing
just. amazing
VERY POWERFUL
i mean it's a great concept!
plot: "a world where you have to hide your {real} emotions under masks and sometimes even fake it and act like biotic\artifical robots or androids?..just to make people happy or unhappy..a society that forces you to do this day in and day out, wow and those who think differently and choose to be free are persecuted? (seems like martial law to me.)
but it was really good. the frame rate was stable, the emotions they tried to convey showed on their masks well..the music synced perfectly, i couldn't find anything wrong with it.
. this deserves to be in the top 100 great job. .it's funny it feels like this is how the world acts now an days..now all we need is some masks..(preferbly V FOR VENDETTA ones. :D), i feel inspired now to write a story about a society that's governed by a single law. thank you.:) oh and would love to see more of these awesome animations!
Pahgawk responds:
well, if "stable" means animated at 18 fps in twos, then I guess so....
Anyway, thanks :)
Insightful
I enjoyed this. However, I am not going to really talk about how I interpreted it. Instead I am going to reply to an earlier comment and, in effect, the way I see this flash will show through my response.
Dear TheMoreYouLearn, I believe I understand what you are meaning. The boy does not really solve his problems, nor does he directly confront them. However, I think you may have misinterpreted the girl's role in the story. She didn't necessarily "magically" appear. She was attracted to the boy because he seemed to be in a similar situation as herself, and she probably respected that he had discarded his mask. What I took from this was that, although he did not fix the society that caused his problems, nor did he effectively confront the issue, he found comfort and strength in finding someone else who saw the world as he did. Or perhaps the message was that love was sufficient for him to no longer care about his other problems -although, in my opinion, that would raise the issue as to whether or not that is a good thing-.
But, I digress, the flash was great. Thank you for the insight, or at least a subject worth conversation. I took off a point for the mediocre animation (:
love the possibly deep stuff
previous comments describe in detail what i was going to put, so would it truly have been conformist to write about my unconformist ideals and that i have just now unintentionally succeeded in an original comment
