This isn’t just about school. It’s about the endless repetition that every day brings. Sickening to the point where anything different or out of the ordinary, even if it hurts, is a relief.
@@britneyherrera6972 He's probably ok. Trust me when I tell you that he's one of millions that experience that kind of feeling on a everyday basis. I wake up in the morning wondering what the point of everything is. Our lives during school is just a endless cycle that has no end. It's just unnecessary and I really wish there was something else we could do with our lives. School brings anxiety, depression and alot of other mixed thoughts. School sucks, it's honestly the worst part of alot of teenagers lives and it brings more bad than what it brings good. I'm 16 myself and I have chronic depression and anxiety. Shits tough, but you gotta go through it. UPDATE 4 YRS LATER: I'm now 21 and life is still just as horrible :D I work a 8-5 and my anxiety is through the roof 24 7 :D
Maybe the kids should just accept that this is what they like or else they wouldn’t be seeing it like this. Because tbh some kids don’t act this way and enjoy school very much
My life at this moment. Yes, I would normally don't enjoy going to school but I do considering that it's the only way to escape my family and even through people there are still not really nice it's still better than what I have to endure at home.
I would ALWAYS go on walks to the park to avoid my house because of my brother. He never hurt me, and I know he loves me, but he scares the living heck out of me, and this is coming from a kid who laughs when people die in movies
-a world of pollution. -a teacher masked with a smile to hide who they truly are. -stalemate/tie. -the same emotional thoughts. -becoming tired of a repeating cycle. -realization of repeating elements. -the zipper shatters to represent a student finally speaking out. -a student revolt starts. -desperate measures to change a repeating cycle. -laughter because the cycle finally broke. Truly worthy of an award.
This story is about a world where everything is perfect, but it’s not. These kids are trapped in a life where everything is the same, they get everything perfect, they are tired of it. The dog represents the repetitiveness of their lives, when he saves the dog, he shows emotion, he is free, they are all free.
The meaning: Everyday is the same,that is why the dog gets every day hit. They all get the same Notes. Everyone is too perfect. Everyday the same cycle. The teacher wears a mask with a smile,cause he cant smile. He needs to keep smiling,so he wont get fired. The children cant open their mouth,cause everything needs to be perfect. In sports they allways get a draw,cause it needs to be perfect. One day a child knew,that everyone lives in a perfect cycle and there is no need for a perfect cycle. So everyone began to break the perfection. The Child saw the dog and knew it cant be the same,so he saved the dog to end this cycle. That is why he laughed at the end...
It was getting annoying to see all these school kids saying that this was purely about school. It wasn't in the slightest about school. It was about perfection and how if perfection will be achieved, everything must be the same.
@@agusmohamad8572 Can you please explain. Are you saying that the schools force a hyper traditional ideology onto the students with a heavy handed dictatorship style. I’m just making sure I understand because I think you’re onto something
@@randomuser5443 some schools do other dont, I dont know much about other country educative system, but here in México some schools do other dont, the ones that dont are mostly private schools and public ones are like 70% about that shit and 30% is pure useful life education
Children, a stage of life where you forced to learn and forced to be the best. You forced to digest something you don't like and not to improve what you like. You don't have free will to choose what your choices. Make friends that only last for a couples of years, once they're gone it's hard to go back. You forced to think about your future even though you're supposed to enjoy your childhood, playing, be happy.
Our language teacher played this to our class... all we did was answer questions about this short film and then we went back to normal... like it didn’t happen and she didn’t know that this is actually the reality.
So, is this how the school system doesn't care about how students feel and only their grades. And eventually it goes into a boiling point where they break the silence which the zippers represents.
Some people made the explanations already but I noticed the teacher is wearing a mask with a happy face on it. Meaning he too, like the students, are forced to be perfect. To wear a smile even if he's not even happy.
@@terrorgaming459 very sad bro its just words to scare or exagerrated i guess cause at age 9 you shouldnt be called that stuff ya but stay safe and be good.
Is mostly because school system dont care Usually people with steriotypically low grades tends to be more social, ibclusive with teachers,so they have a healthier aura

When the adults were wearing a mask, it shows that they were also a target of the school system and they are just hiding it by wearing a mask, showing a smile that they are happy.
Plus the one teacher started to realize whats happening He was like: hold on... Everything's the same... No differences except for the name and number..
I was terribly frightened when he opened his mouth, but, I guess, he was tired of everything being the same. If you made it here, if you notice the video just shows how everything has to be perfect, no matter how much damage it would do to a child by repeating everything, every day.
@Insert Name nope,mental health affects how we handle stress,relate to other and make choices. It is emotional health,it shows they are sad and depressed. So you're wrong
Who else noticed how the kids’ drawings of the factory chimneys were each slightly different? They didn’t all draw them in identical positions, each had theirs arranged slightly differently. Goes to show how they still had a little bit of creative uniqueness in them that couldn’t be taken away by their demanding society… or maybe they have a lot of it left, but they’re only able to show it through the one creative thing they get to do in school.
I love how when the children scream, there is no audio, but the windows break, implying they are screaming at such a high frequency adults can't make it out. Just like adults don't listen or understand when a child speaks.
You know what the thing is I was just reading your comment and my mind told me: laugh? What laugh? And then my eyes turned back to the video and just then the part when the kid laughed was just on my screen
This is kind of what life feels like when your depressed Edit: I was still a dumb kid when I made this comment, I started a war in the replies and still can’t believe people have even watched this video so long after it was originally posted. So thank you so much for even glancing at this dumb little comment
I'm late to this, but for anyone wondering, in some asian countries like Japan (probably the people that made the video, judging by the credits), this is even more accurate than anywhere else due to the impossible expectations their parents want their children to meet, causing them an insane amount of stress and in some cases depression.
"Some cases"? I'm pretty sure depression would the the most probable result of constant stress. Why do you think the cases of hikkikomori are so extraordinarily high. Also, not only is this video a perfect reflection of the sheer insanity of education in Japan, but for the majority of all the other nations in Asia such as China, South Korea, Thailand and India just to mention a few.

If you look closely there was a blood stain on the ground where they first tumbled and a blood pool by the child's head after saving the dog so I think the laughter was their way of dealing with the emotions of finally saving the dog
To summarize this story, these kids live a boring life in the future, they want to make a change so the zippers on their faces break off for them to speak up.

What exactly do Christians mean when they talk about the “gospel of Jesus Christ”? Since the word “gospel” means “good news,” when Christians talk about the gospel, they’re simply telling the good news about Jesus! It’s a message from God saying, “Good news! Here is how you can be saved from my judgment!” That’s an announcement you can’t afford to ignore. Why Is the Gospel Good News? So, what is the good news about Jesus Christ? Since the earliest Christians announced the good news about Jesus, it has been organized around these questions: 1. Who made us, and to whom are we accountable? 2. What is our problem? 3. What is God’s solution to our problem? 4. How can I be included in his solution? Christians through the centuries since Christ have answered those questions with the same truth from the Bible. 1. We are accountable to God. 2. Our problem is our sin against him. 3. God’s solution is salvation through Jesus Christ. 4. We come to be included in that salvation by faith and repentance. Let’s summarize those points like this: God, Mankind, Jesus Christ, and Our Response. God The first thing to know about the good news of Jesus is that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Everything starts from that point, so if you get that point wrong then everything else that follows will be wrong. Because God created everything-including us-he has the right to tell us how to live. You have to understand that in order to understand the good news about Jesus. To understand just how glorious and life-giving the gospel of Jesus Christ is, we have to understand that God is also holy and righteous. He is determined never to ignore or tolerate sin. Including ours! Mankind When God created the first human beings, Adam and Eve, he intended for them to live under his righteous rule in perfect joy-obeying him and living in fellowship with him. When Adam disobeyed God, though, and ate the one fruit that God had told him not to eat, that fellowship with God was broken. Moreover, Adam and Eve had declared rebellion against God. They were denying his authority over their lives. It’s not just Adam and Eve who are guilty of sin. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life. Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life. * Once you understand sin in that light, you begin to understand why “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). That’s not just physical death, but spiritual death, a forceful separating of our sinful, rebellious selves from the presence of God forever. The Bible teaches that the final destiny for unbelieving sinners is eternal, active judgment in a place called “hell.” But . . . Jesus Christ The word “Christ” means “anointed one,” referring to anointing a king with oil when he is crowned. So, when we say “Jesus Christ,” we’re saying that Jesus is a King! When Jesus began his public ministry, he told the people, “The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news!” As Jesus died on a cross, the awful weight of all our sins fell on his shoulders. The sentence of death God had pronounced against rebellious sinners struck. And Jesus died. For you and me! But the story doesn’t end there. Jesus the Crucified is no longer dead. The Bible tells us that he rose from the grave. Jesus’s rising from the grave was God’s way of saying, “What Jesus claimed about who he is and what he came to do is true!” Our Response What does God expect us to do with the information that Jesus died in our place so we can be saved from God’s righteous wrath against our sins? He expects us to respond with repentance and faith.t

I’m from Japan and the creators of this anime is also from Japan. I think this anime shows the negative tradition of our country that adults try to educate children to become “normal” or “average” people. In Japan, if people do something different from others and have distinctive personality, they have high chance to get harassed and bullied. The child saving the dog seems happy in the end, because he could do what he wanted at stake of his life.
This video shows how the world we live looks like. Why the schools exist and why it never gonna help us. Why we work all days to the rest of our lives. Why the only reason we live is to work, make family and die on age of 75-80 years with the feeling "i dont do anything in my live,, because of that... be happy, ignore the bad stuff and smile for everything all of the bad things are only somewhere deep in your mind.
I remember watching this when I was in 7th grade. Man... That was 5 yrs ago... Now that I have grown up a little I bit... I can actually feel it. Each time I rewatch this I get new info and interpretation.
I actually searched for this a week ago cause the one song I can't remember off the top of my head played in the background. Watched back in like 6th grade. Now I'm a senior in highschool
the meaning behind here is that they’re tired of being perfect, they’re tired of doing the same thing everyday and getting a simple clap. The dog represents the endless loop that they’re going through, and saving the dog shows that the loop is over
@@crashedg7976 People are just putting it down to point it out just in case some people who don't feel like scrolling down to far or this person hasn't seen other comments at the time,and who cares if they copied :/
OK WELL CRAP EVERYONE IS WRONG Here's what's going on One of the boys in the world keeps seeing the same things, over and over. The dog keeps being hit by the train, nothing changes. At school he's perfect. For getting goals he gets simple claps of congratulations. He sees his 100 on his paper and thinks 'Why do I go on like this?! What's coming out of it?! A simple clap and and pat on the back?!' The adult fails to see what's wrong, he's perfect just like the other kids. The child finally opens his mouth and shows everyone what's going on! So they open their mouths too and start doing something different. This time when he sees the dog he chooses to save it ending the loop forever. So he laughs, he finally did something different! He ended it! So he chooses to end his life by laughing
I found it creepy at first,but then I began to understand.This is how society is now.Having high expectations from your teachers and your parents,good grades seem to matter more than your mental health,you can't speak up about anything,and more.This really hit hard.
The dog is actually a dream that he wants to achieve but can't reach it and the train is the society that's in between when the boy sees that one 0 is light he breaks down and breaks the silence he realizes that no matter how many 100s he gets he'll never achieve his dreams so he and other children run away for the freedom the boy then chases the dog(his dream) he reaches it but the dog goes away it means that the bot only felt his dream once but is happy to feel it
Nah,mostly schools try to send exams about movies,so I persobally poems can be more expressive,cause they are removed from look,time, space and effort,unlike animations
Edit: Let me explain what I THINK the design of the characters means, The zipper means that they aren't able to express themselves unless if un zipped, the mask shows that they are hiding something (Probably emotions). The teacher Wears a maks which has a happy face probably means that the teacher pretends to care for them. The numbers of on the kids represents that they are not seen as individuals but as Items. Im going to comment what I think the video means in another comment. I think the video shows how the kids live in a TOXIC world and are forced to always do what they are being told to do and can't Express their emotions and they live the same thing all the time, I think the dog = Dreams,and the teacher is always wearing a smiling mask which represents him hiding his emotions and probably not caring for or knowing them, so the kids get TIRED and the teacher sees one loosing control, he checks his number to see his name (gives proof that the teacher doesn't know them) and the Zippers break and start shouting wich probably means that they reached the point of rage, so they all go out of school like crazy (represents how they feel about school), we see the kid who we keep on seeing follow the dog and saves the dog/Gets the dog and gets hurt, the dog then leaves not noticing the kid (probably shows that without school you can't achieve your dreams no matter what and or that the dream was not meant for him. Or maybe the dog represents a friend since we say that DOG = MAN BFF, and the dog leaving him shows how he has no real friends. He then starts laughing which may represent that he has finally realized how Alone he is. Thanks for reading (It's just a guess of the meaning of the vid.
Good interpretation~💕 I think he laughed due to him being able to finally do one thing he really wants~💕 He finally felt that his life, even with pain, finally meant something~💕
I thoght that the dog was his passion he follows his passion and gets hurt by train(society) but he dies peacefully by feeling the satisfaction of following his passion .pls guve your point of view on this

I guess this is just an extreme emphasis of how school could get really wrong but in most Cases it not like that, atleast in my country its not like that.
The reason the child laughed at the pain was because he’d been waiting for this his whole life. Death was his only escape in this cruel world. The only way he’d finally feel joy.
the ending shot showed how their school building had stopped producing smog, but in the background a thousand more buildings still churned out dark smoke. Which I think is why he ran towards the dog and the train barreling towards him despite that he and his classmates already broke “free”- maybe he knows that even thought theyve revolted against their school, they can never destroy the system. Just as how schools nowadays may promote creativity through project work and essays or more open ended assignments, but at the end of the day you still need to answer from the perspective they want, in the structure and writing style they want, writing the things they want to hear.
Yeah, even in school teachers want to bring creative freedom within writting or projects but the issue is they can't change the curriculum they teach because it's what the government wants the curriculum to be. Only very distant adults who haven't lived with a school system have ability it's not that they don't care it's the fact that they just are blinded by ignorance.
as an elementary ed major, i am disturbed by this video. It sheds light on the drudgery of school, but, there is hope. the video ignores the opportunities that many schools offer and the futures that it gives students. As a future teacher, i hope i can bring something new to the classroom everyday, and inspire my students to have passions beyond what the system hands them.
@@Agentonefromhelluvaboss It's an old proverb about how small children "can be present in a conversation but should not speak, particularly when they are around adults." Not something I agree with, though.
The fact that schools and homes look like factories is really deep and it depicts the present situation as the schools are just mass producing results and good grades instead of focusing on the overall development of children...
@@snakebeeyatch48 it's more like treating students like robot and not as a living being. For exame: they want students to study Something without giving them passion, some of them for example hate to teach. This is an analogy about the industrial age, where school didn't care about the students and critical thi nking but they wanted you to be an employer. It's complex and i can't explain. But of course, it's not easy hahaha some problems are caused in school and others in the house. We also tend to throw all our frustration to one thing and not accept that some of it is our fault. Both can be wrong, a teacher would say that the problem are the students while the students will say that the problem are the teachers.
@@snakebeeyatch48 it's also interesting that this happen on a japanese school, what makes the situation really bad. Mental health is a bad discussion on japan and when they discuss they are labeled as weak, so Thats an example of mental breakdown caused by school, and the fact that this happen on a japanese school makes the situation even more interesting and scary.

The reason I love this animation is because it makes so much sense- The children have zipped mouths because in today’s world, all you get from school is stress. You can’t speak up about anything. As a student, it’s especially happened online, you can’t concentrate on your work at all when you know it’s going to be the same thing for the next 2-20 years of your life. Wake up, eat work eat work eat work, sleep and repeat. Life has turned so weird. Even if there is a change, whether good or not, you tend to feel happy, like finally, the chain stops and you get a break. Whether good break or bad break, at-least it’s a break right? Even teachers have to suffer, controlling kids because it’s their job, even if they know they could be giving millions around the world depression. I have a strong feeling of pity for both sides. But not only that, when you’re a child you have an inner feeling asking to grow up, but when you grow up, it’s basically the same thing right? You get a job and keep working. So you work whether child or adult, it’s just for these small breaks and changes, that we live am I correct? I question the meaning of life sometimes. I can’t even open up my mouth to talk about it, because children can’t have problems according to adults anyway.

I read a lot of interpretations about the black dog and I agree with everyone. I suggest two more: - when the kids finally talk and leave the school, they don't where they are going, so the kid embraces depression and madness. - That illusion to go somewhere else brings the kid to hard problems. And finally, he fails. After thousands "100 score" he experiments the feeling of surviving after the failure, after taking a risk to change his life and feels alive.
And boomers don't give a crap about the kids. We just work, work, and work for 18 years. Then we work MORE for a couple decades, then we finally can relax through retirement which would happen in your elder years. Its society.

If you didn't notice, the teacher was wearing a mask. I think this sort of represents that teachers also don't have any say in the education system but are forced to teach a certain way. They cover up their inner believes in order to obey the system. It also may represent that teachers don't necessarily try to connect with their students, they only feel as if they're capable of teaching what the state/area provides.
Yolo Lexi i agree, i think we all tend to believe the notion that teachers are all assholes because we hate them so its easy to believe something or someone you hate is bad but thats not true. alot of teachers do want the best for their students and im sure alot of teachers dont agree with the education system, especially ones that have the effect of it on students, but they cant say anything about it because they'll be shut down.
Yolo Lexi I agree with you. My professors, all the way from highschool to university, would have important conversations and they let us speak our minds about something, but they would tell us to not speak about it outside of the classroom. And it makes me think that they're not aloud to do anything except makes us read all the time and answer boring questions.
I can mostly agree with this. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and she hates the way the Texas public school system is doing things. They're making the kids take more and more tests, not to mention it gets harder and harder for her and her coworkers every year. It got so bad that she wanted to quit this year, but of course couldn't because my sister and I are in drillteam which costs a lot of money. But I have no idea how schools are like outside of Texas.

Although this was very far from what most people ever imagining a society to be, there is a great lesson. Don't let the institutions take over your children. Don't give up parental responsibility and expect the schools and other organizations to step in. Give them meaning. Give them an appetite for adventure.
I believe the character laughed because it was something new out of his copy-paste life, something different,something that could make him feel even if it was pain he wanted to feel something other than nothing.
The video is telling us that the education system (in Japan, to be more specific, but it can apply to education systems all over the world) is forcing student to be perfect (to be the same). Students have numbers for names because they're just another perfect, ordinary student. The have zippers on their mouths to represent the fact that they cannot speak up due to the adults thinking that it's good if everyone is perfect, and the kids know that they won't have a change of heart no matter what and will get punished, so they don't break the zippers to do so (until the main character does so). At the beginning, it shows us that the boy sees a dog getting hit by a train everyday, meaning that everyday the same things happen over and over again. At the end, when the kids run outside of the school, the students start a riot to show the adults that they aren't satisfied with the education system. Meanwhile, the boy spots the dog about to get hit by the train. Wanting to break the cycle of his everyday life, he saves the dog, but unfortunately, he bleeds to death from the train hitting him. The boy laughs because he finally breaks the cycle by finally doing something in his life for once when the dog ran out of his arms. The train represents they need to be perfect and the dog represents the students' happiness. the same dog gets hit by the same train everyday, as the boy sees it happening whenever he goes to school. This symbolizes that all the students' happiness gets destroyed when they are forced to be perfect, it just gets boring and the kids hate it. When the boy saves the dog, it represents that he just saved his classmates from the agony of being perfect. Right before the dog runs, he looks at the train track, analyzing what had just happened, he becomes scared and runs away from the track. This foreshadows/represents that the kids might escape from the misery of being perfect.
I agree with most people in the comments on most things, but I have a little spin to add. What if the train represented death and the dog represented freedom? The child only 'attained' freedom after getting past death (committing suicide) but only held it in his hand for an instant, as it left him soon after.
The soccer scene really gets to me. In schools teachers (and other adults as well) make a point to say, "there are no winners or losers" to soften the harsh reality that in life you are going to lose, and your feelings will get hurt. I fear for the children that have grown up in that environment because one day they'll be out on their own, and with the "everyone is a winner" mentality that was preached at them for 12-13 years stuck in their head, life will hit them like a ton of bricks. It may seem harsh but it's true.
...If you're referring to something done in gym class, then I think you're mistaken on your conclusion. The idea behind "no winners/no losers," IMO, is to teach the young'uns how to win and lose *gracefully*, and be able to put that into perspective, and not dwell too much on winning and losing. Besides, the point of the game is to get 'em running around and having _fun_. If competition becomes front and center, it stops being fun. (_My own interpretation of the soccer scene: We're supposed to assume that everyone in this little world is a carbon copy of each other. That the score is the same on both sides means that each one is "mirroring" the other's moves, and nobody thinks to "break out" and do something unexpected._)
Reagan I would never tell a child these things. Telling them soft lies will only break them later. They can lose their trust in you, and saying things like "There are no winners or losers" will lead to pride, and pride can lead to greed, and greed can become thievery, and thievery becomes punishment, and with punishment, there comes pain, leading to anger, then to revenge, then it becomes hatred, and the whole chain reaction of lies eventually leads to a broken heart. This is why I refuse to tell lies like this. I use the truth, no matter how bad it is, because if you know the truths sooner, you can adapt to this cruel world sooner, and things like the loss of a loved one won't hurt you so much. Look at me: I learned that truth of loss at the age of 2. I am not affected by deaths. I never get attached to something I know I can lose. Not even my own life. When you learn the truth, life gets easier, despite the price of innocence.
As someone currently still in high school, this is overplayed. It's honestly not that bad. I've been told that I've lost and that I need to work harder.

The teacher wears a mask with a smile,cause he cant smile. He needs to keep smiling,so he wont get fired. The children cant open their mouth,cause everything needs to be perfect. In sports they allways get a draw,cause it needs to be perfect. One day a child knew,that everyone lives in a perfect cycle and there is no need for a perfect cycle. So everyone began to break the perfection. The Child saw the dog and knew it cant be the same,so he saved the dog to end this cycle. That is why he laughed at the end...

I'm late to this, but for anyone wondering, in some asian countries like Japan (probably the people that made the video, judging by the credits), this is even more accurate than anywhere else due to the impossible expectations their parents want their children to meet, causing them an insane amount of stress and in some cases depression.
"Some cases"? I'm pretty sure depression would the the most probable result of constant stress. Why do you think the cases of hikkikomori are so extraordinarily high.

The most horrifying moment was when he stared shaking . It was similar to student's situation just seconds before entering the exam hall
Or trying to stay calm to not having a mental breakdown in front of everyone in class
Me trying not to laugh during an exam because I thought of a meme:
What exactly do Christians mean when they talk about the “gospel of Jesus Christ”? Since the word “gospel” means “good news,” when Christians talk about the gospel, they’re simply telling the good news about Jesus! It’s a message from God saying, “Good news! Here is how you can be saved from my judgment!” That’s an announcement you can’t afford to ignore.
Why Is the Gospel Good News?
So, what is the good news about Jesus Christ?
Since the earliest Christians announced the good news about Jesus, it has been organized around these questions:
1. Who made us, and to whom are we accountable?
2. What is our problem?
3. What is God’s solution to our problem?
4. How can I be included in his solution?
Christians through the centuries since Christ have answered those questions with the same truth from the Bible.
1. We are accountable to God.
2. Our problem is our sin against him.
3. God’s solution is salvation through Jesus Christ.
4. We come to be included in that salvation by faith and repentance.
Let’s summarize those points like this: God, Mankind, Jesus Christ, and Our Response.
God
The first thing to know about the good news of Jesus is that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Everything starts from that point, so if you get that point wrong then everything else that follows will be wrong. Because God created everything-including us-he has the right to tell us how to live. You have to understand that in order to understand the good news about Jesus. To understand just how glorious and life-giving the gospel of Jesus Christ is, we have to understand that God is also holy and righteous. He is determined never to ignore or tolerate sin. Including ours!
Mankind
When God created the first human beings, Adam and Eve, he intended for them to live under his righteous rule in perfect joy-obeying him and living in fellowship with him. When Adam disobeyed God, though, and ate the one fruit that God had told him not to eat, that fellowship with God was broken. Moreover, Adam and Eve had declared rebellion against God. They were denying his authority over their lives.
It’s not just Adam and Eve who are guilty of sin. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life.
Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life.
*
Once you understand sin in that light, you begin to understand why “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). That’s not just physical death, but spiritual death, a forceful separating of our sinful, rebellious selves from the presence of God forever. The Bible teaches that the final destiny for unbelieving sinners is eternal, active judgment in a place called “hell.”
But . . .
Jesus Christ
The word “Christ” means “anointed one,” referring to anointing a king with oil when he is crowned. So, when we say “Jesus Christ,” we’re saying that Jesus is a King!
When Jesus began his public ministry, he told the people, “The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news!” As Jesus died on a cross, the awful weight of all our sins fell on his shoulders. The sentence of death God had pronounced against rebellious sinners struck. And Jesus died. For you and me!
But the story doesn’t end there. Jesus the Crucified is no longer dead. The Bible tells us that he rose from the grave. Jesus’s rising from the grave was God’s way of saying, “What Jesus claimed about who he is and what he came to do is true!”
Our Response
What does God expect us to do with the information that Jesus died in our place so we can be saved from God’s righteous wrath against our sins? He expects us to respond with repentance and faith.t

the meaning behind here is that they’re tired of being perfect, they’re tired of doing the same thing everyday and getting a simple clap.
The dog represents the endless loop that they’re going through, and saving the dog shows that the loop is over

Thak u so much for telling me man
OK WELL CRAP EVERYONE IS WRONG
Here's what's going on
One of the boys in the world keeps seeing the same things, over and over. The dog keeps being hit by the train, nothing changes. At school he's perfect. For getting goals he gets simple claps of congratulations. He sees his 100 on his paper and thinks 'Why do I go on like this?! What's coming out of it?! A simple clap and and pat on the back?!'
The adult fails to see what's wrong, he's perfect just like the other kids. The child finally opens his mouth and shows everyone what's going on! So they open their mouths too and start doing something different. This time when he sees the dog he chooses to save it ending the loop forever. So he laughs, he finally did something different! He ended it! So he chooses to end his life by laughing

YEAH i feel good (music effect`s start playing)
The dog is actually a dream that he wants to achieve but can't reach it and the train is the society that's in between when the boy sees that one 0 is light he breaks down and breaks the silence he realizes that no matter how many 100s he gets he'll never achieve his dreams so he and other children run away for the freedom the boy then chases the dog(his dream) he reaches it but the dog goes away it means that the bot only felt his dream once but is happy to feel it

Edit: Let me explain what I THINK the design of the characters means, The zipper means that they aren't able to express themselves unless if un zipped, the mask shows that they are hiding something (Probably emotions). The teacher Wears a maks which has a happy face probably means that the teacher pretends to care for them. The numbers of on the kids represents that they are not seen as individuals but as Items. Im going to comment what I think the video means in another comment.
I think the video shows how the kids live in a TOXIC world and are forced to always do what they are being told to do and can't Express their emotions and they live the same thing all the time, I think the dog = Dreams,and the teacher is always wearing a smiling mask which represents him hiding his emotions and probably not caring for or knowing them, so the kids get TIRED and the teacher sees one loosing control, he checks his number to see his name (gives proof that the teacher doesn't know them) and the Zippers break and start shouting wich probably means that they reached the point of rage, so they all go out of school like crazy (represents how they feel about school), we see the kid who we keep on seeing follow the dog and saves the dog/Gets the dog and gets hurt, the dog then leaves not noticing the kid (probably shows that without school you can't achieve your dreams no matter what and or that the dream was not meant for him.
Or maybe the dog represents a friend since we say that DOG = MAN BFF, and the dog leaving him shows how he has no real friends. He then starts laughing which may represent that he has finally realized how Alone he is. Thanks for reading (It's just a guess of the meaning of the vid.
Good interpretation~💕
I think he laughed due to him being able to finally do one thing he really wants~💕 He finally felt that his life, even with pain, finally meant something~💕
I thoght that the dog was his passion he follows his passion and gets hurt by train(society) but he dies peacefully by feeling the satisfaction of following his passion .pls guve your point of view on this

No one asked for your explanation b*tch
the ending shot showed how their school building had stopped producing smog, but in the background a thousand more buildings still churned out dark smoke. Which I think is why he ran towards the dog and the train barreling towards him despite that he and his classmates already broke “free”- maybe he knows that even thought theyve revolted against their school, they can never destroy the system. Just as how schools nowadays may promote creativity through project work and essays or more open ended assignments, but at the end of the day you still need to answer from the perspective they want, in the structure and writing style they want, writing the things they want to hear.
I just realized the dog dies everyday
Yeah, even in school teachers want to bring creative freedom within writting or projects but the issue is they can't change the curriculum they teach because it's what the government wants the curriculum to be. Only very distant adults who haven't lived with a school system have ability it's not that they don't care it's the fact that they just are blinded by ignorance.
as an elementary ed major, i am disturbed by this video. It sheds light on the drudgery of school, but, there is hope. the video ignores the opportunities that many schools offer and the futures that it gives students. As a future teacher, i hope i can bring something new to the classroom everyday, and inspire my students to have passions beyond what the system hands them.

What exactly do Christians mean when they talk about the “gospel of Jesus Christ”? Since the word “gospel” means “good news,” when Christians talk about the gospel, they’re simply telling the good news about Jesus! It’s a message from God saying, “Good news! Here is how you can be saved from my judgment!” That’s an announcement you can’t afford to ignore.
Why Is the Gospel Good News?
So, what is the good news about Jesus Christ?
Since the earliest Christians announced the good news about Jesus, it has been organized around these questions:
1. Who made us, and to whom are we accountable?
2. What is our problem?
3. What is God’s solution to our problem?
4. How can I be included in his solution?
Christians through the centuries since Christ have answered those questions with the same truth from the Bible.
1. We are accountable to God.
2. Our problem is our sin against him.
3. God’s solution is salvation through Jesus Christ.
4. We come to be included in that salvation by faith and repentance.
Let’s summarize those points like this: God, Mankind, Jesus Christ, and Our Response.
God
The first thing to know about the good news of Jesus is that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Everything starts from that point, so if you get that point wrong then everything else that follows will be wrong. Because God created everything-including us-he has the right to tell us how to live. You have to understand that in order to understand the good news about Jesus. To understand just how glorious and life-giving the gospel of Jesus Christ is, we have to understand that God is also holy and righteous. He is determined never to ignore or tolerate sin. Including ours!
Mankind
When God created the first human beings, Adam and Eve, he intended for them to live under his righteous rule in perfect joy-obeying him and living in fellowship with him. When Adam disobeyed God, though, and ate the one fruit that God had told him not to eat, that fellowship with God was broken. Moreover, Adam and Eve had declared rebellion against God. They were denying his authority over their lives.
It’s not just Adam and Eve who are guilty of sin. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life.
Sin is the rejection of God himself and his authority over those to whom he gives life.
*
Once you understand sin in that light, you begin to understand why “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). That’s not just physical death, but spiritual death, a forceful separating of our sinful, rebellious selves from the presence of God forever. The Bible teaches that the final destiny for unbelieving sinners is eternal, active judgment in a place called “hell.”
But . . .
Jesus Christ
The word “Christ” means “anointed one,” referring to anointing a king with oil when he is crowned. So, when we say “Jesus Christ,” we’re saying that Jesus is a King!
When Jesus began his public ministry, he told the people, “The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news!” As Jesus died on a cross, the awful weight of all our sins fell on his shoulders. The sentence of death God had pronounced against rebellious sinners struck. And Jesus died. For you and me!
But the story doesn’t end there. Jesus the Crucified is no longer dead. The Bible tells us that he rose from the grave. Jesus’s rising from the grave was God’s way of saying, “What Jesus claimed about who he is and what he came to do is true!”
Our Response
What does God expect us to do with the information that Jesus died in our place so we can be saved from God’s righteous wrath against our sins? He expects us to respond with repentance and faith.t

School makes us kids become robots for the INDUSTRIAL era
The reason I love this animation is because it makes so much sense-
The children have zipped mouths because in today’s world, all you get from school is stress. You can’t speak up about anything. As a student, it’s especially happened online, you can’t concentrate on your work at all when you know it’s going to be the same thing for the next 2-20 years of your life. Wake up, eat work eat work eat work, sleep and repeat. Life has turned so weird. Even if there is a change, whether good or not, you tend to feel happy, like finally, the chain stops and you get a break. Whether good break or bad break, at-least it’s a break right? Even teachers have to suffer, controlling kids because it’s their job, even if they know they could be giving millions around the world depression. I have a strong feeling of pity for both sides. But not only that, when you’re a child you have an inner feeling asking to grow up, but when you grow up, it’s basically the same thing right? You get a job and keep working. So you work whether child or adult, it’s just for these small breaks and changes, that we live am I correct? I question the meaning of life sometimes. I can’t even open up my mouth to talk about it, because children can’t have problems according to adults anyway.

I read a lot of interpretations about the black dog and I agree with everyone. I suggest two more:
- when the kids finally talk and leave the school, they don't where they are going, so the kid embraces depression and madness.
- That illusion to go somewhere else brings the kid to hard problems. And finally, he fails. After thousands "100 score" he experiments the feeling of surviving after the failure, after taking a risk to change his life and feels alive.

If you didn't notice, the teacher was wearing a mask. I think this sort of represents that teachers also don't have any say in the education system but are forced to teach a certain way. They cover up their inner believes in order to obey the system. It also may represent that teachers don't necessarily try to connect with their students, they only feel as if they're capable of teaching what the state/area provides.
Yolo Lexi i agree, i think we all tend to believe the notion that teachers are all assholes because we hate them so its easy to believe something or someone you hate is bad but thats not true. alot of teachers do want the best for their students and im sure alot of teachers dont agree with the education system, especially ones that have the effect of it on students, but they cant say anything about it because they'll be shut down.
This is not the teacher, this is the society.
Yolo Lexi I agree with you. My professors, all the way from highschool to university, would have important conversations and they let us speak our minds about something, but they would tell us to not speak about it outside of the classroom. And it makes me think that they're not aloud to do anything except makes us read all the time and answer boring questions.
I can mostly agree with this. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and she hates the way the Texas public school system is doing things. They're making the kids take more and more tests, not to mention it gets harder and harder for her and her coworkers every year. It got so bad that she wanted to quit this year, but of course couldn't because my sister and I are in drillteam which costs a lot of money. But I have no idea how schools are like outside of Texas.
Yolo Lexi Yeah! I agree! Hence the term, 'I'm not your friend, I'm your teacher.'

Although this was very far from what most people ever imagining a society to be, there is a great lesson. Don't let the institutions take over your children.

Can someone tell me the name of the song please
Good one:):):)
The video is telling us that the education system (in Japan, to be more specific, but it can apply to education systems all over the world) is forcing student to be perfect (to be the same).
Students have numbers for names because they're just another perfect, ordinary student. The have zippers on their mouths to represent the fact that they cannot speak up due to the adults thinking that it's good if everyone is perfect, and the kids know that they won't have a change of heart no matter what and will get punished, so they don't break the zippers to do so (until the main character does so).
At the beginning, it shows us that the boy sees a dog getting hit by a train everyday, meaning that everyday the same things happen over and over again.
At the end, when the kids run outside of the school, the students start a riot to show the adults that they aren't satisfied with the education system. Meanwhile, the boy spots the dog about to get hit by the train. Wanting to break the cycle of his everyday life, he saves the dog, but unfortunately, he bleeds to death from the train hitting him.
The boy laughs because he finally breaks the cycle by finally doing something in his life for once when the dog ran out of his arms.
The train represents they need to be perfect and the dog represents the students' happiness. the same dog gets hit by the same train everyday, as the boy sees it happening whenever he goes to school. This symbolizes that all the students' happiness gets destroyed when they are forced to be perfect, it just gets boring and the kids hate it. When the boy saves the dog, it represents that he just saved his classmates from the agony of being perfect. Right before the dog runs, he looks at the train track, analyzing what had just happened, he becomes scared and runs away from the track. This foreshadows/represents that the kids might escape from the misery of being perfect.

I agree with most people in the comments on most things, but I have a little spin to add.
What if the train represented death and the dog represented freedom?
The child only 'attained' freedom after getting past death (committing suicide) but only held it in his hand for an instant, as it left him soon after.
This theory is better.
Wahh, thank you guys c:
well I agree but this video is torcher to nature

nice thought to it
The soccer scene really gets to me. In schools teachers (and other adults as well) make a point to say, "there are no winners or losers" to soften the harsh reality that in life you are going to lose, and your feelings will get hurt. I fear for the children that have grown up in that environment because one day they'll be out on their own, and with the "everyone is a winner" mentality that was preached at them for 12-13 years stuck in their head, life will hit them like a ton of bricks. It may seem harsh but it's true.
...If you're referring to something done in gym class, then I think you're mistaken on your conclusion. The idea behind "no winners/no losers," IMO, is to teach the young'uns how to win and lose *gracefully*, and be able to put that into perspective, and not dwell too much on winning and losing.
Besides, the point of the game is to get 'em running around and having _fun_. If competition becomes front and center, it stops being fun.
(_My own interpretation of the soccer scene: We're supposed to assume that everyone in this little world is a carbon copy of each other. That the score is the same on both sides means that each one is "mirroring" the other's moves, and nobody thinks to "break out" and do something unexpected._)
Nicholas Tosoni Cool, that makes sense, for both the no winners/losers system and the animation.
I agree... there's nothing worse than being coddled like that throughout school... and now being in college..
Reagan I would never tell a child these things. Telling them soft lies will only break them later. They can lose their trust in you, and saying things like "There are no winners or losers" will lead to pride, and pride can lead to greed, and greed can become thievery, and thievery becomes punishment, and with punishment, there comes pain, leading to anger, then to revenge, then it becomes hatred, and the whole chain reaction of lies eventually leads to a broken heart. This is why I refuse to tell lies like this. I use the truth, no matter how bad it is, because if you know the truths sooner, you can adapt to this cruel world sooner, and things like the loss of a loved one won't hurt you so much. Look at me: I learned that truth of loss at the age of 2. I am not affected by deaths. I never get attached to something I know I can lose. Not even my own life. When you learn the truth, life gets easier, despite the price of innocence.
As someone currently still in high school, this is overplayed. It's honestly not that bad. I've been told that I've lost and that I need to work harder.
3:30 I am happy that he successfully saved him, that shows how a small effort can make changes in the world, this type of video sometimes gives very deep meaning 🥺.
