Marvelous
First and formost, sorry to hear about your grandmother, thankfully she got to see you and those she cared about...
I have never seen a piece on Newgrounds or any other site really that makes me question how I treat those around me... this really wakes you up to how insignificant your individual problems are. Thank you for this movie.
Very thought provoking
I must commend you for makeing such a wonderful film for those willing to contemplate its meaning. I am constantly visiting nursing homes, and the "sane" people are very much like the one portrayed in this film. Some of the unfortunate ones feel rejected by their families, and become so depressed that the shock of the nursing home, in a way kills them. Others understand why they were placed their, either it being that they did the same thing earlier in their lifetime or they lived a hard life and could do nothing to keep their children from sharing it with them that they adapt to the difficulties in the new situation like they have done so many times in the past.
Reguardless, it is a sad thing that something like this should happen to anyone. Especially someone who does not deserve it, as you expressed earlier. I am also sorry that your grandmother died but let me assure you that if she was a Christian than she is much happier, and is in a much better place. Hopefully waiting on you :)
Death is nothing more than the absense of life as we know it. Death is a good thing, it will either cause us to be freed from our old bodies and allow us to enjoy an everlasting paradise. Or cast us into our eternal demise, strangely though the choice is ours.
sad...
I never truly understood how depressing a nursing home was until I ended up playing the piano for the residents there. They were incredibly grateful for something fairly mundane, and then I realized no one must ever come to see them, entertain them or even come to keep them company. Thank you for reminding me that many people suffer from this lonliness and abandonment every day; maybe I can get off my ass and actually talk to these people and help them somehow...
Nice Clip
Very original, touches on something most wont even go near.
As for Richard_Kiel_Clock, family IS more important until you realize that accomodating one person who has had their entire friggin life to save up, work, invest into their own future but DIDNT and its burdening their descendants just to move them in. When it comes to family vs debt, it just isnt worth it.
You have your entire life to prepare for what lies ahead, those who dont but are able expect too much. the 40/40/40 plan doesnt work, get it through your heads.
Good...
It is a saddening hing to know that elderly people die alone in elderly homes but when you think about it wouldn't it be for the best? When a family exiles you wouldn't that make you wonder? If they love you so much why would they bring you to an elderly home? Issues like this disturb me and shows how ignorant and intollerable our own kind can be. Who cares if that family doesn't have the 'accomidate' living space or don't have enough money to support another person. FAMILY IS MUCH IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE! So what if you have to make sacrifices. Before my tangent gets bigger I have one thing to say...
Death isn't always to be feared for sometimes it could be for the best.
