Reviews for "Broken Saints CH.20 ACT 3"
Goddamn, but I love Oran.
Just when you thought it was safe to read submissions, the illiteri make their return, confusing Judaism (three thousand years before Christianity) and Islam (about seven or eight hundred years after) while offering nothing to the conversation. I realize this is opening is pointless, as the people that would most benefit from it are either unwilling or unable to do so, but it still bears saying.
A work done in Flash does not require animation; really, Flash is just a tool used to create a synthesis of audio and visual media on a computer screen. It has comparative ease of use that makes it ideal for telling stories on the web, most of which are as stunted as their creators, and yet said creators often grow over time and evolve into artists of a kind. Other works - the Brackenwood series, most anything by Legendary Frog, and the ever popular Madness - show the creativity of the artists and provide an interesting commentary on life in the beginning of this strange millenium.
Broken Saints is something else entirely. It takes place in the real world - the science contained within is, at the very least, plausible. The situations and characters - actual characters - are real, relevenant, and contain a depth that is rarely found in any medium. This is one of the reasons I love it as much as I do; the combination of style and substance, drawing from such diverse sources as the Wachowskis, Lynch, Gaiman, and the like. I want to give these entires perfect scores, but, having seen the DVDs, are unable to do so.
As an example of the perfection of the series, witness this Act. A portrait of hope and promise betrayed in the name of greed, of faith led astray in the name of vengeance and grief. This is powerful storytelling - story being a synthesis of plot and character - that is meant to provoke thought. I urge those of you that are enjoying this to check out the Broken Saints website, where the other chapters are, and where you can see them at your leisure.
There are four chapters after this. All except the finale have three Acts, for those that are curious, while the finale itself offers itself in seven Acts. If you can watch the initial Act of the finale without feeling a shiver go up your spine, then you are made of hardier stuff than I. This is heady stuff, the most potent of drugs.
I'm just glad this is getting a showcase here, and that most of you seem to be enjoying it. Those of you that don't, that's fine - this is certainly not for everyone. But if you're going to regale us with criticism, at least explain what you're talking about, and realize that the series has been complete for a year, and that there are voices on the DVD.

Nice
I welcome the change that your flash movies present to newgrounds. You have done extremely well in sending your message. Each episode delivers it's message fully and in a unique way. Good work. Maybe, when I find the time I will be able to watch all of them. Or perhaps, when I have the money I will buy the dvd's.
I love the use of colors.
Everyone has their own color of thought bubbles. The memories each person is different and HER EYES are always blue... DEEP blue.
The effort put into each and every Episode is truely a marvle.
