a metric crapload better than the first one

Okay, this was at least worthy of being submitted. I still don't like it, but I can respect the work.

Why that music? Something at the back of my mind is telling me I've heard that specific piece (not TTLS in general, but that particular recording of it) used as background music somewhere else before. It might have been a child abuse or don't-drink-while-pregnant PSA. Maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems a little too obvious as an non-obvious choice.

The spraying/smoke effect is very pretty. I still am not sure what the heck it's supposed to be, though. Same with the ... I don't even know what to CALL it ... it looks like a slowly spreading crack.

The jump splices are pretty effective in a piece like this.

Overall the pacing seems a little bit on the molasses-in-January side.

The note at the end... well, I kind of assumed it was the guy's suicide note. Maybe it's a very realistic suicide note, but the only part of it I can understand clearly is the first sentence. The rest of it just reeks of "ooo, I'm so dark and mysterious yet sensitive" ... which probably IS a pretty reasonable thing to expect in a suicide note, so well done, I guess.

I'm guessing you have a full backstory for this in your head. It would have been nice to have seen some of that.

So, what the heck IS this?

If it's parody, it needs to be sharpened a bit more, because it comes across as more sympathetic than parodic.

If it's NOT, then I'd like to see more of a reason for me to care about the main character. The note doesn't manage by itself; backstory could possibly have done it.

If it's autobiographical... same as above, and yeah, I'd deny it in the Author's comments too.

cool

nice job,really like it

Rectus Panton e Incumbo Neco

This is such a powerful and moving story. This is the first flash I've seen that I want to download and save. Don't change anything. It's perfect. I believe this is the first score of 10 I've ever given.

Don't do it.

If you are still alive, do not do it. I have suffered to insanity, and I'm still not quite what society calls "normal" or "sane". I am terrified to death of many things, like people, insects, and bacteria. But if you kill yourself, you are surrenduring to your enemies. You'd be telling them that they won, that they have power enough to make you choose to die. Nobody should have that kind of power. Take control of your life again. I am rating this movie a zero because of the message it sends to other people who have suffered as much as you and I, not for the quality of graphics or sound. I hope you are still alive and that you can read this, and if you are not, I will pray for mercy on your soul.

Crap from a Weakling

Dude, I am the product of abuse. Hell is my life. Only the weak do not squeeze whatever joy that they can from life. Suicide is the ultimate f**k-you to the world... telling even loved ones "I never really cared about you more than myself."
If you are really suicidal, please do it. Release all you know from your weakness and burden.
