This.... this was beautiful. I literally teared up afterwards, and I don't cry easily. It's just so powerful and emotional! It's about a boy, suffering from depression, until he stop to think: what am I? It sends him spiraling, until he gathers his strength and finds the answer, ignoring the demons deep inside of him, forgetting all terrors and depressions, until he made it, he made it out of his horrible depression. This was such an amazing story, and a step away from what i usually watch. Beautiful. 10/10 stars.
Reviews for "The Monster is Me"
A truly horrifying mirror that shows you the very core of your own soul. It is like putting you in a room made of soul mirrors, forcing you to wonder where you are. Who you are. WHAT you are. A wonderfully bone-chilling tale about a boy overcoming haunting depression and his inner demons. Never in my life have I EVER seen such a wonderful yet creepy video. It has the feel of an inspirational motion picture, the creepiness of a 2 minute horror video, and the uncertainty and mystery of the Slenderman photo. 5 stars. Thank you, this helped me overcome some skull smashing depression.
As someone who's struggled with depression before, I can relate to this, and it holds a really big meaning for me. If that's not the message you were going for, oh well. It's still what I got out of it. It's like you always have shadows haunting you, keeping you depressed. Pills helped for a while, but once I realized that it was my choice whether I was going to let life drag me down, I got off the pills and was able to be happy, and I ignored the little things that usually got me depressed. In the end the monster was me for not choosing to ignore the things that made me sad earlier on. I dwelled on the sad things and that was my downfall. I'm just glad I'm not one of the casualties that didn't realize that soon enough. I'm so damn glad that I figured it out soon enough that I didn't do something stupid like offing myself. At 19, I have a long life to live, and I don't need to waste it on being depressed.
Anyways, this animation just speaks to me on that alot, and it's pretty nice to see a story about someone overcoming their shadows too.
amazing.
Wow... this is dramatically different from the stuff I'm used to seeing from you. It had me mesmerized from beginning to end. It's beautiful.
