Reviews for "The Masquerade"

These masks...

Are running our species, imposing their fake ideals, identities, every day, every night.
These masks have been ruining our very existence since the dawn of times.
These masks have limited our vision of life to the point we cannot see ourselves - we are blinded to the point we help each other to dig our own grave even more.
In a spiral of delusion, illusion, deception, that grow more "real" if we give them gradually more importance.
We don't need masks, we need to free ourselves from such illusions, fears, doubts, anxiety, and this flash proves it.
This flash is about never giving up on their twisted ways of deciding the fate of others. We're born to be ourselves no matter what. This movie has actually a happy ending, whereas in "Smile" (a similar old flash) we can see the exact opposite and the triumph of hypocrisy. We need more short movies like this one, that help people recognize themselves from what they are, simply living their life, free from pointless fears.
Thank you,

omg

excellent movie ^^

This is just something incredible

I cannot find words. Only reason i created this account was to rate this masterpiece 10/10

Pahgawk responds:

Oh wow, really? Thanks so much for the effort! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Creative work.

I'd really like to see this go on, possibly create a whole new series? It's a really unique idea, something I haven't seen in a while.

Pahgawk responds:

Personally, I think I'm just going to end up moving on to other things. I sort of feel that if I try to squeeze any more out of this idea, the creativity would be strained and the message would be lost. But I will make other things of a similar nature, not to worry :)

Dude, this is... GENIUS! Actually the sketchy animation made the idea even better!
Concept: 4.5/5 (It`s not the first time I see this idea on a flash)
Execution: 5/5 (Everything blend really well, from the music to every pixel on the screen)
Wanna see something like this in the future!
