Reviews for Shed a Tear for Terrorism

[Tambreo]

Blah and blah and blah.

I can't say much that other reviewers haven't already hit upon very accurately. Except, that this flash could be very cool....if it were complete fantasy. 1 Because it is not realistic in the first place. 2 Because the 9/11 attack is nothing I, or most people, really want to 'make fun of'. You're making fun of it because you're turning it into entertainment...and, I feel, without any respect at all.

I'm sure there are millions of people shedding tears for terrorism. But again, entertainment in the form of colorful 2 minute cartoons to a track of completely unrelated music is not what people are looking for in their tremendous GRIEF.

I was a bit disapointed...

Listen I feel music is one of the most important asspects to an animation and I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers as much as the next man, but this was not the right song for what you submited. Furthermore, I felt your usage of terrorism was quite manipulative; since as you've admited this actually has very little to do with the events as they actually took place. When you use terrorism (and particularally 9/11) in a flash your invoking feelings and ideas that are very powerful, it is not something you should do lightly. I felt that you did not bring anything new to the table, just played off old emotions. On the plus side your artwork is stunning and I'm sure with the talent you have you could (and will) create amazing submisions that I would love.

A note to Damienzilla

Damienzilla, you are the reason people despise our nation. People like you are so blind and think in such a black and white, you don't even realize that you yourself are the very same kind of extremist you hate and wish to destroy. You rely on simple logic and loyalty to your ill thought out cause. Your mentality disgusts me, and if you read this I just want to let you know that your mind is no better then that of a terrorist who would shoot at a civilian for their cause.

Now then, Red Star! The flash was outstanding and I actually remember the one this was made to improve upon. It was outstandingly drawn and had a meaning to it. Well done!

I doubt it.

I should HOPE you're only doing this to test your flash animation skills and don't believe a bit of this story you created. Otherwise, get real.

Terrorists don't feel any sympathy for who they believe are "infidels". They don't even care about however many fellow Muslims they may kill with them in the explosions (it's not like only Christians died in the 9-11 attacks!) Terrorists are happy to slaughter as many people as they can because they are brainwashed into thinking that in doing so, they will go to "Allah" and receive 70 virgin brides for their service.

Crying? My ass. More like they get boners thinking about how they can defile their virgin brides in "heaven" much as they do here on earth.
You have great animation skills but you get a 0 for unrealistic and insensative content.

oh noes! what a touchy movie!!!

let me tell you, I love the style, the smooth animation, and the way you draw characters, maybe I should try to break my hand to see if that helps my drawings too !! :D

now There's one thing I do not like: the emotional perspective on terrorism (shedding a tear out of sorrow) I'm pretty sure 9/11 terrorists did not feel any kind of sorrow for the people they've killed. The only sorrow they can feel is about their people and their land. The attacks on the towers and the pentagon was just their way to make a clear point about it.
