I wacthed this very good and before i have my account

Brazil,1984. NG isn't cultured enough to get it

Alright the first time I watched this, I didn't get the joke. It flew over my head like the blue pentagon with wings. I've seen Brazil, and I know what 1984 is about. But I didn't understand what the shapes were talking about. When I watched it again, I noticed that the blue shape wasn't jumping when he talked. He was trying to tell the other shapes from the other shape flashes that you don't have to jump when you talk. And he made like a video, telling them to rebel and rise up and stop jumping. But the central services shapes pulled the plug, albeit too late though. Well, I get the joke now. It's clever, though it wasn't made clear enough, even to those that have seen Brazil. I don't know how to make it more clear, but something is missing. So this is a shapes flash that sadly falls through the cracks. it requires at least 2 viewings to catch the joke. And most people won't ever do that. So, to those that watch it, you need to study it and watch it again. There's more depth to this flash than it appears there is.

Thanks man, u get me

Hhhmmmm....

Well, it looked okay, and the audio quality was good.... it was just....meh......
I mean, it cant of taken that long to animate and there wasnt a preloader, so i ended up watching it twice! so i gave you a solid 3/5 and a 5/10!

yaaaay?

my plan has worked!

not funny.

Yah know what... I really hate to be blunt and honest when I am being negative. Please take what I have to say with a grain of salt. After all, who cares what I think right? These shape flashes were never very funny to me, and I was glad when they were gone. Really. The only thing I liked bout them was that they made fun of other people for being unoriginal...

Yours' was original but shapes alone doing stuff just won't make me laugh. It had a story and dialog and that's basically why I am rating it low. The story wasn't funny and I was bored the whole way through. The only thing I liked at all was the gun as a precautionary measure part :P

I gave you 4 stars because you put a story together and tried to make something out of this.

Better luck next time.

the books 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell a long sides with the motion picture Brazil should explain this video rather meticiously

Pretty nice.

It's rathet interesting. However, it's not addicting.
