cool
nice animation. the voices were pretty trippy.
This animation is a serious short that brings up, or atleast is supposed to bring up two themes
1. Free Will : Is there fate? Do human being have free will? If people have no free will, why should we be held responsible for crimes we commit?
2. Regret. In a subtle way I was expecting the audience to guess that Freeman kills himself at the end, however, it just looks like he is all sad.
Anyways, just watch it and leave good comments.

Ideas were Interesting
Ideas are good, but I think there not entirely thought out. Not to say you haven't done a lot of think about free will, however free will and individual responsibility are seperate things. Even though the idea of God (mind you I'm an atheist) says that he is all-knowing does not mean that he controls our choices, that we choose during the present-instance and fate is the objective view of each choice made. Because fate, from the perspective of God, is the knowledge of the beginning, middle, and end, choice seems to disapear along with free will, however subjectively, since the future isn't known by the individual making a choice, they have the appearance of free will. Free will when questioned with a belief in God becomes an issue of relativity, however, it does not negate the idea of personal responsibility, which is inherent to subjective existence. Read Camus and Sartre, then make a sequel.
Interesting
I was a little disappointed, I though this was going to be about Half Life or something but anyway it was very intriguing. The animation style was very unique, a lot like Tom Goes To The Mayor, but the one part where there was no motion but the birds seems lacking. The audio augmented the film perfectly and was the best part in my opinion.
liked it
i really liked it nice and dark and what the hell is the guy before me talking about making fun of god i dont think he was making fun of him just pointing out if god in fact real , which he is not, why make murderes and rapists and micheal jackson
a very good animation but..
your beliefs are questionable, as mr freeman said "Their god made me this way, i cannot be held responsible for my actions, the murders." Such is incorrect, when u think about it, god did make u who u are when you're born, but u form who u become when u grow older wit your choices, your actions are your responsibility but u wrote is from a murderers point of view so sum people r inclined to put da blame on sum1 else, so your ethnics r questionable, but all enthics r questionable when u think about it, o well good movie non-da-less :)
Personally I dont believe in god, but god controls fate and what happens according to most beliefs, thus he shapes us as well as creating us
