For the love of god, explain this for us.
I'm pretty sure EVERYONE caught the child abuse resurfacing whatnot which results in some kind of psychotic break to kill the abusive father (figure)...
But the rest of the flash most likely has too convoluted of a meaning to you, as the artist, personally, and the conveyance of that meaning is lost outside of a narrative of some form.
First, why in god's name was the guy PUNCHING the baby? I can understand shaking it and getting a bit aggrevated, but unless you're suggesting that in the future (or present, as the case may be) that violent gamers who throw things in a fit will physically batter their children to death, this seems to be a bit out there.
Second, what precisely motivates this guy to then take the child? While this isn't specifically that hard to assume, it's chronological and merely open to interpretation, which voids the meaning of it if no one knows what it is supposed to mean.
Third, why is it that the first thing the man does following is head to the toilets with the seemingly appeased or otherwise simply not unhappy baby?
Fourth--and by far the most pertinent--why was the child put in the toilet, starting it crying once more, prompting the... protagonist to sit on the toilet and wimper/beg/wish/hope for the baby to be quiet?
I honestly hope that this was merely an artistic endevour and that you aren't a psyche major with a facination with independent films... because simply being ambiguous and full of allusions and metaphors doesn't make something good, aside from the pretentious world of artistic BS...
So if this was merely art . . . please esplain D:
I think many of us would like to know not only the meaning itself, but the origins and motivations for its creation and what meaning it should have to the viewers...
It is my personal feeling that, from reading many of the other reviews, too many people are simply taking in the "dark" nature of all things in it and are merely "disturbed" out of dissonance of a pure lack of anything else to think or feel... and unless that was the intent of the piece, it would be nice to alleviate such misconstrued feelings.
