Reviews for "We are the ONE."

Well made, idealistic fluff

Artistically sound. If it weren't laughable propaganda I would be thoroughly impressed.
I could see some extremely entertaining animations made using this style, but the potential was shot down by the forwarding of the extremely naive message.

It looks cute when the two combatants have a brief moment of compassion, but without destroying the culture and ideals that foster such violence war will never end. Love they neighbor sure sounds pleasant, but when you have been brought up your entire life to believe the ideal is to die while slaying the enemies of God.

Make no mistake: such people would not hesitate to kill you if they thought it was desirable from a religious standpoint. You may or may not be consistent enough in your beliefs to face death without fighting back, but do not fool yourself into believing such an end would somehow be morally superior or virtuous. The only difference it would likely have is to inspire more hatred and violence in reaction.

The worst part is that those seeking martyrdom are no worse on average than others. As you say we are far more similar than different, but we remain incompatible regardless.

We can't fully appreciate their mindset, but even if you could fully raise the awareness of every human being you would still face irreconcilable differences between the haves and have-nots and basic human drives like ambition and selfishness. Unfortunately there is not enough to go around for six billion people to attain fulfillment and contentment.

My advice:
Do something fun next time. There are powerful, unsurmountable forces that have made the world the way it is today... and it could be much worse. If you want to make a better existence for humanity do something solid and tangible, starting at the individual level. Preaching "Love", "Peace" and "Unity" is ultimately meaningless and futile.

this is a great flash

i wish u wouldnt of done all the langueages kinda boring n very long but it was well made the animation was great. waht ur trying to sat is great. i aggree with this flash in every way war is pointless ppl die ppl lose faimly n many ppl die. i lvoe this falsh n hate u guys who hate it n give it crappy ratings

Wow

Its a nice message, war does suck and peace is much better, great animation, but the end part of all the languages saying love is one, was long, could have been sped up, didn't need the entire song, plus I don't know the other languages, but french you put Je t'aime which means I like you if you wanted I love you it would be Je t'adore. I can't believe you used COD4 sound effects from the level war pig, Seriously?? :P

All of that earns you a 3/5, but for the message its an easy 4/5

Now here is my problem with the reviewers below:

"you guys are fucking idiots, no offense or anything"
Yeah, you say war sucks and that if an American solider put his gun down in front of an extremist that he would blow himself up TO GET HIS MESSAGE ACROSS, while we apparently are over there to stop them from doing that, Bravo my rightist friends!

WWII? No-one was protesting that? Actually there were WWII protests, but it was along the lines of "What have the Europeans done for us?" The 'terrorists' aren't invading our allies in a complex series of alliances started by a Megalomaniac is trying to take over all of Europe. No, hardly obviously. The people that we label are terrorists are poor individuals that have been ignored by the west, and cling to their religious beliefs that we must all suck, and deserve to die. The message that they are trying to get across is basically that.

The scenes of the American soldier blowing the guys head off point blank? Yeah, that extremist looked like he was well armed and had a bomb strapped to his chest! The guy was looking at a picture of his mother for Christ's sake.

Peace=Never?
lol good thought, funny thing about that is that is what gets us into wars in the first place, everyones doing it, so why not us? "These people are soseopaths , and they don't fear death, and they want THEIR message across." Okay, first of all its 'sociopaths'. And they want THEIR message across? Well being the superpower of the world, we can't let an oppressed people speak out! now can we? Heaven forbid, we listen and be nice to people!

Peace will never happen? The day when all nations learn to love eachother (as the flash clearly states) and lay down their arms, respect eachother, and learn to tolerate one another's religion culture and the way everyone does what they gotta do is the final end to war.

but, why not tell peace through war? Cool, thats a good idea too, he didn't just show how much war sucks, and thrown in a touching message like "love is one" at the end of it and let people think for themselves.
Oh, wait, do you mean WW3? Thats a good plan too, we should start it and it could be just like what Einstein said
"I don't know what weapons World War Three will be fought with, but World War four will be fought with sticks and stones."

That is of course if there is a WW4

We have nukes now, not much stands in our way of annihilating all of mankind as we know it. Maybe we should turn our already dieing earth into another rock in outer space, maybe some aliens will find our remains and MAYBE think that we were wrong to annihilate each other.

Also, I believe, catch me if I'm wrong, That 'Hippies' as you call them prefer the term, to reference them by, 'Rationalists'

Sorry, I think the Pat Buchanan show is back on, I'll leave you to your Sunday night programs.

An Ideal

Peace is an ideal.

And ideals never work.

You have an awesome amount of potentential but....

Fatal Reactions is right. Sure, war may SUCK, but no one will stop because sometimes, negotiations fail. WW2, Korea, Nam, and even Iraq. We tried to settle the fight before it came to fists. but,

"If an American Soldier put his gun down to let an extremist live, do you know what would happen? HE WOULD BLOW HIMSELF UP TO KILL THE AMERICAN."

On another note, there ARE other ways to get your message across. You basically came out and said PEACE. but, why not tell peace through war? Show everyone how much war sucks, throw in a touching message at the end, and let the people think.

I hope that you can see why I reviewed your work the way I did. Honestly, I see your point. 4,000+ americans have died in "The Sandbox", but also keep in mind that the same number of soldiers were killed at Normandy in Operation Overload (D-Day). I don't see anyone Crying anti war about that. Not then, not now.

just some food for thought.
