Disturbing. I mean that in a good way.

This movie certainly got its point across. The actual death was somewhat shocking, but could be taken as amusing. What really chilled me was the moment when all the other people at the table took out their weapons. There was no sound. The scene was shown from different angles. The weapons, despite their cartoony quality, looked menacing, ready to create incredible carnage. But everyone merely put their weapons away and went back to eating. I can't help but feel there's a profound statement here.

This cartoon shows the effects of rapidly escalating violence and mocks the principle of armed deterrence. There is peace at the end of the cartoon, true, but it is an uneasy, haunting peace. This could be interpreted in terms of international war, domestic violence, or nuclear deterrence. Anyway you look at it, it's hard to ignore.

Glad the message came across so clearly for you. I'm glad I made this statement the way I did...it still has import years later, and applicability to todays events. Responding to violence with violence may be successful in the short term, but the time will come when the escalation reaches its peak and finally overflows. I hope for all of us we can change our viewpoints and reactions before it's too late.

not bad

pretty funny. Hehe i like the way the characters look.

Whoa, dude.

Judging from your other stuff, I didnt think you could draw that great. This rocks! Kinda reminds me of my highschool when i was 18. Some dude got stabbed with a machete by the vietnamese crips.

NewEvolution responds:

Yeah, my next couple of portal entries should showcase my drawing "skillz" a bit more. I'm glad we didn't really have any gang activity in my HS, but it still wasn't much fun. High school is certainly a war zone, and as cliché as it may be, violence is not the answer.

...

LMAO. Dude that is good. Very smooth animation and also very funny.
If I was that guy, i'd be like, "Oh Shit"
Great job on this.

OMG

After I saw this I turned to my friend and said, "Dude, that was the best movie I've seen in like 2 years" and I truely meant that. This is dated quite a while back when this issue first came up about guns in school and stuff but it still has some meaning left in it to me. This was awesome. In every way possible! Nice fucking job this means a lot more to me then I actually lead on.

NewEvolution responds:

Excellent. It's great to hear things like this. Flash is cool and all, but I try and put some real meaning in the work I do. I'm glad to see it still has meaning and import today. Thanks for the great review.
