Reviews for "Afterwards"

I really liked this movie

As you said in the description, no sex, drugs, violence, or humor. Just a serious movie. It turned out really well. A nice change of pace on newgrounds. Don't see many movies like this on here, and i think it really needs more. Just wish I had the talent to make movies of this quality.

wow, amazing

Man, that was really well done. No offense to Tom or anyone else at NG, but that was just too good to be on this site. Incredible, I really liked it. That "punkanddesires" has no idea what they're talking about (even though it was an opinion). Expert work, professional quality. It was a true, serious short film. Again I say, amazing.

AMAZING

if u wouldve made it a little bit more interesting and exciting i wouldve given u a ten WOW GREAT ART YOUR AMAZING

Great flick!!

One word: cinematography. Just like you said. This is very moody, very artistic, and unlike many portal entries, this has CLASS. Keep up

Hmmmmm...

The elements may have had an involvment but I'm assuming that that wasn't an intentional thing.

The way I see it is he's on a plane drawing something. In his imagination he finds himself going into a nice restaraunte (or what have you) and waiting for that 'special someone.' He makes everything perfect, and waits.

The butterfly getting caught in the flame, I believe, somehow symbolizes that his vision won't end well.

He see's his love coming in, and she walks over to him. They share a small conversation and begin dancing.

As the time goes, they eventually tire of this, and sit down. They share a passionate kiss which brings them closer in their relationship. However like with the butterfly, the dream is struck down as he realizes it's only a dream. However he writes , "Save this for afterwards." on the drawing to maybe see if he'll have a relationship with a similar event, perhaps?

Or maybe he's going to see someone and he sees this event taking place while in this relationship.

This could be interpreted in many different ways, so it's really quite difficult to say which is truly right (well for the reviewers anyway. You made it so you know what the point is and what not.)

However whether I got it right or not, it's still a nice piece and very well done. Keep up the good work with these.

rvyn responds:

The earlier part is a little off, but your interpretation of the ending is closer than most people's interpretations. as far as the moth/butterfly is concerned, think icarus. i left the moth's ultimate fate a little ambiguous (though not overtly) so depending on the viewer's mood, that moth either dies or lives. Thanks a lot for the review and I appreciate you taking your time watching.
