THIS IS DONE RIGHT!!!!
I don't know the intention behind this movie (and forgive me if I read too much into this film), but with the flood of "anti-war" shorts at Newgrounds and my hasrh criticism of them and those that praise them, I have one thing to say....
WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
This is EXCELLENT! This is ANIMATION WELL DONE. This film SAYS MORE AGAINST WAR THAN ALL THE CRAP I HAVE SEEN AT NEWGROUNDS SO FAR CLAIMING TO BE ANTI-WAR! EVERYONE who gave those other items "10" (or 5 in the general section) and those who submitted that trash should bow their heads in shame, and beg for forgiveness to all here at newgrounds for allowing that crap to survive (or for subitting it in the first place). THIS FILM IS WHAT THIS SITE IS ALL ABOUT - GOOD ANIMATION! THIS FILM IS WORTHY OF PRAISE!
Now to the review.....
Personally, I found the animation style erratic, with style existing from very sharply defined to rough, yet it works since the roughness generally comes from nature. I would work on certain stylisting things but in general, everything is so well put together that they could be easily overlooked unless you have a sharp eye. The use of music is phenomenally powerful and well thought out.
