I imagine this would be hard to understand from the perspective of someone who is not already familiar with plato's AOTC. Although Plato's thoughts are still relevant to people living today, the setting he used is very outdated. These ideas however would be easier to explain if you put them into a contemporary setting. In fact it's a trope that has been used in film for many years. "They Live" and "The Matrix" come to mind. All and all, i think this is somewhat of a disservice to Plato. I am glad that you have the drive to try and explain these ideas, and I don't want you to be discouraged by this review. - Keep trying. and remember not everyone knows these stories or the philosophical intent behind them. - which means you're intentionally setting the difficulty level to very hard, and I kinda like that about this animation.

Nice stick animation

So this was a nice "STICK" animation it was not very loud in action but you did present some nice action scenes, love all the blades and such, I think you should ad some music behind this maybe something fast paced, but besides that this was a decent animation you have here.

Bit like a game and movie in one, the way you see those obstacles from the side, like running through a platformer. Didn't really follow the end there, but otherwise not bad.
