Reviews for "Contemplate Life"

Not what I expected!

Originally, I saw the name of this animation and thought, "Oh great, another person who is just going to present their view of life's problems and no solution for it." Everyone knows the issues of life; everyone knows how hard it is to find an answer. Many find an answer and hang onto it for so long only to find it wasn't the right answer. And so many (like your animation states) run around accepting the most common answers we have been given by the media and our society. Ideas that being good gets you to heaven or that the answer to life is money, drugs, power, etc or a combination of all those things. Those with money find themselves incomplete, they turn to drugs and are still incomplete, they turn to self indulgence and spare no expense and are still incomplete. They turn to control and power, but it still doesn't complete them. True, most people don't actually get to try all those things, but ask anyone who has ever gained the most of everything be it money, drugs, power, or self-indulgence. They will all tell you that it was fulfilling in the beginning, but somewhere down the line it wasn't enough and they knew they still missing something. People overdose on drugs all too often because they know that what the dose they took last time wasn't enough to fulfill them. People who are the richest in the world realize there is no lasting pleasure in it and often enough start giving away their excess money. Even this philanthropist mentality doesn't end up pleasing people for long, though it actually does something beneficial and longer-lasting for a multitude of people, not just an individual. I would suggest that part of the purpose to life is actually finding that purpose instead of just blindly accepting the media's view on it. I recommend you search and find the answer before you die. I would also recommend starting with the answer given in this animation, but that's really up to you.

As for this animation, it was great but I really want to point out a few issues with it. The music drowned out the narrator's voice (the music went well with the video, but tone it down a little) and the recording of the narrator's voice crackled several times, so you might want to try a better microphone or recording it differently. Other than that, it was really good. I hope to see more.

Thankyou :)

Exceptional

This actally brought a tear to my eye. I've been struggling with depression and suicide, just like the man in this video. Many peole don't belive in God, and well, it's their loss. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be hear right now. I want to thank you for making this animation. I needed the reminder.

nahtanojmal responds:

Why, thankyou ;)

I don't understand why other people dislike this video you made. It may be harsh, but life is also harsh. We really should try to live trough it as best as we can. To be honest, your video nearly put me in tears. That, I know is a sign that your video means something. It means a lot, just like life its self does. Keep living, and doing your best. Just like you did with this movie.

The animations you did are fantastic. Everything about it is really great. There is so much meaning in it, I can't find anymore words to describe how wonderful your movie is.

nahtanojmal responds:

My movie is only a means to an end. A sign pointing to a destination.
May you reach the destination.
Thanks for reviewing ;)

Although I lean heavily toward Agnostic, this was an amazing flash and song. Great job! :)
