Our latest film ‘Teacups’, is now live on our channel
Haha, you're still going
Cool
My name is Amber and I have an oculus... I bet you don't
I'm a psychic medium
I loved this short animated film. I had a tragic childhood which led to a tragic young adulthood trying to meet the reaper twice, then an apathetic and uncaring early adulthood, until finally I sought therapy and have been a happy man with a great wife and son sine my late 30's. When I was young, I honestly believed I would not live to see 20, and when I got there and a tragedy hit that was extremely hard to bare as I was alone and I thought I wouldn't last 'til 30, and yet I always seemed to and that was the last time I guessed my own lifespan. At 61, with a couple serious nerve problems due to a brain injury and a bodywide nerve disease, I wonder if something will happen soon as I am a decent candidate for a major stroke. And I've often thought, why couldn't I have had more time (from my younger years), I feel like your character, I want more time because I haven't had the time to do everything I should have when my memory was not degrading. It is funny how I think we all sooner or later will ask for more time. I tend to be a think now, as my health keeps me bedridden most of the day. Thank you very much for your film, it makes one think about themselves. 🤠🏜
Have you ever been so drunk, that you got up after car crush but forgot your body and then Death had to look for your drunk ethernal ass?

***** Yeah I know right 😂
XD
+Prachi Kalra WHAAA !? What do you mean, you "hate when that happens "? You're like 12 years old!
Chill out. Prachi is joking.
I love how caring, and how motherly Death is shown in this. A very beautiful way to see death.
at around 1:35, her expression says: aw, c'mon, not again. But I agree with you
Graceful yet chilling, wonderful yet lacking in clarity, haunting yet still warm. It has humbled and boldened, it is perfect while broken. It has been worshipped and ignored, a part of us the we all despise and cannot avoid, and we call it death. How you see and understand it is so very different from the person closest to you, and still share infinite similarities it is good and fundamental part of the human race and we can never avoid it.
true
+Chaslasher Hilliard did you find that off Google or something.
+Mr. yoopididoop no, accidentally wrote it while commenting, it's just how I feel about the idea of death, and thank you for helping me find this video again.
6:30 “Why did we never speak?”
“I don’t know”
Damn...
This is one of the parts I don't get about this video. What does his grandfather have to do with all this? Or is this some reference I'm not getting?
I guess he said that because he realised that they had no conversation with all that person
@@ciapaty1995 regrets, things you wanna do but never did.
@@ciapaty1995 his mother and grandfather is dead
@@ciapaty1995 Death is present in everything we see and touch and feel. Everything ends, death in this is not the reaper, taking life, but the collecter, finding already lost life and putting it to rest. The grandfather represents one of the different roles plays, the mature figure, just like the mother represents loving and the lover represents a different sort of love and compassion.
I love how gentle Death is. She's soft spoken and cradles the baby as if taking her own. She's a protector. A guardian. A Mother
Да, хорошая мама. Лишающая жизни. Просто замечательная))))))
Your f*arts still smell bad.
Не всё так просто
I Loved it❤
@@alinka1776 мы же не знаем, что там дальше. Может она и есть замечательная. Только мы её боимся, потому, что нам о ней почти ничего не известно. В одном я убеждена - спешить туда не стоит. Она никуда от нас не уйдёт, а вот жизнь стоит прожить до конца.
he was so hammered that even his ghost was drunk
Gabriel Underwood XD
Getsuryu 😂😂
So true.
Waiting for Robert and his THC lol
Getsuryu it's his soul
He couldn't see life until he was dead...
This is very, very, very true. I enjoyed your words.
He's already seen it, and he saw it again. Got bored to death, and slept. Forever.
Like he didn't know what he had until he lost it
wow this is truth
i think its a curse we all suffer from
Imagine your last word being 'kebab'...
Well if that happened I’d find out if there was an AFTER after life *real* quick
😂
I was watching the last scene emotionally until I read this comment 😂
gud
I like the interpretations of Death not being some creepy and all horrifying skeletor wielding scythe. Where death is merely a person in a robe who knows more then you could ever know and gives but sadly knows that you can’t stay on the earth and must do what they must do.
7:23 what did you just say?
This actually portrays Death in Spiritual beliefs. I'm sorry if this belief does not sit with you but i'm going to share anyway, hope you don't mind.
Death is not a scary thing, and Death is inevitable. But our desire of wanting "more" is the scary thing, we desire "more" and thus we are born "more", until one day we realize the Suffering that is caused from desiring "more" and we stopped asking for "more". Then, we can find peace.
Death is just leading you to what you want, what your "desire" is.
I just think about it that way because it's just so much. But if I'm ever serious then yeah I agree with that interpretation. I also I like to think of him as basically a cab driver for your afterlife.
sadly you cant stay on earth so i wonder what this whole coda thing is about
@@eddy0603 desire is more like desiree that fucking bitch likes to call herself destiny but thats really mean dont talk to your sister
"Don't drop me."
"I won't"
*drops him 5 seconds later*

The fox: *sees death* Excuse me, could you give me directions to--
*death disappears*
Fox: ok
Lol XD
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAA LIKE
lmao
Max Johnson and who the hell are you?
Max Johnson why don't you just tell me who the hell you are and what you want?
This one really caught me by surprise. My sister passed a few weeks prior to me viewing this for a class assignment. Really helped me not only deal with losing my sister but also helped me accept mortality in the most profound way I have yet.
i am happy it did. you deserve to be happy ❤
Your beliefs are so stupid. Do you think that when you die your life will be beautiful and wonderful? This is funny, because if you die as a non-Muslim and you do forbidden things and do not believe in God and His Messenger, you will be subjected to severe punishment no matter how many good deeds you do. If you are not a Muslim, you will be subjected to severe torture. Also, the religion of Islam is a beautiful religion and not as strict as some people think it is simple. You must be patient and you will obtain your right to a paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth. We wish you guidance and the search for the religion of Islam, the religion of truth. Think rationally and logically and do not think about what a non-Muslim thinks about Islam because he is trying to convince you that it is an incorrect and wrong religion. We hope that you will all be in Paradise, God willing.

Every so often this animation crosses my mind, and I feel the urge to watch it once again
Me too!
(hope this answer notification serves as a reminder to watch again o/ )
Thats why im here, about to take a calc exam and trying to remind myself that my life is young and this wont be the end
Same
Me to and it's when I start taking two meny things for granted
Or when I feel really down
I'm confused and very sad with a slight sense of comfort.
Exactly!
Ikr
Royal Blew I understood perfectly. How come something great like this is not trending? Check out my animations.
Royal Blew maybe that's how we feel when we die.
Sorry but IS THAT LOISH ART AS YOUR PICTURE OMFF
Death is easily one of my favorite characters in the human mythology, and this is how I've always imagined it. Death is a being meant to bring a life to a safe closure, not just whip it straight to heaven or hell. all lives deserve closure, if an afterlife exists, even those who were seen as evil. Death should be a peaceful thing, a breaking from our imperfect world, into a resting place. I think that this animation portrays that beautifully.
i like your perspective
That was extremely beautiful.
Brandon Szparagowski your words touched my heart ! 🌸💖
I can't remember the last time this thing happened ! 😅
wonderfully said. Death is nothing to be afraid of as long as u have good in u and have not sinned. it will be a friend to greet u and take u to a better, more beautiful world, a pure world unlike our contaminated world we live in now.
Brandon Szparagowski well said
I saw this animation as a teenager many years ago. It has stuck with me for so long and been a fundamental piece of media in my long journey of accepting death... It softens my heart everytime I see it
I relate, I saw this in my teens as well and was just drawn to it even though I didn't understand it all that well
"Mother. I am born."
That cracked me up ngl
😓😓😓
We are born into eternal life.
I think our main fear in death is forgetting
and be forgotten
I think it's more about, not knowing what's on the other side.
that, and being forgotten.
am i really the only one that is not afraid by death, BUT THE DAMN AWFULL PAIN THAT COMES WITH IT??? Seriously, i understand the fear of being forgotten or not knowing what will happen, BUT NOONE THINKS OF THE PAIN?
Games God i think pain during/after death would only feel temporary, because as the clock goes our system slowly shuts down and we feel less pain-? and i think that it's only going to be one big blow of pain until it all dulls out and you're dead- but to each their own, i guess-
I love that death was portrayed as sentimental, patient, caring and a woman. Not often does the grim come that way.
D.Meyod death is a feminine word in latine languages. La Muerte is feminine.
true...
Perhaps death appears as different forms for different people. This man, he seemed kind and caring but died a tragic accidental death so he deserved this kind of death.
For all we know death is just the end of a biological function. once we die there's nothingness. we attempt to alleviate the instinctual urge to prevent death by giving it meaning. there is no afterlife. it is simply a product of our emotions personifying something we cannot understand.
Crash Dummies I agree :)
Are you going to kill me ?
No ur already dead
Somehow the “ur” makes this a little more insulting.
I watched this for the first time seven years ago, when I was 16. What I’ve noticed is that I am much more scared of death than I was back then. 16 years olds don’t typically have a lot of experience with death and feel invincible. It’s bittersweet. Never forgot this animation in all those seven years
search about the true God, u ll not fear meeting him after knowing him. Study relegions and choose the right one which u find it right. nothingless is not logical.
I had the opposite. As a small child I was terrified of dying, but now, 22 years old and I am not so scared anymore. Not to say that I want to die just yet, but I find it more of a comfort that the only fully certain aspect of my life is that I will die noe day. Hopefully I will have lived a fulfilling life before then.
This is one of those films that i'll remember for the rest of my life.
mata schmata damn hay
mata schmata I can so agree
mata schmata like human centepide
3 Weeks later, do you still remember? Be honest, nothing lasts forever.
Nak tura Yes. I actually watched this once last year, then came back to watch it again
Baby: "Don't drop me."
Death: "I won't."
-drops him a couple seconds later
StingRae 27 a haha, +++
any comment of BD looking an awful look like death here with the rain cloak and Irish accent n all?
A couple is 2 that was more like 15 seconds later
Yeet
Перевод для русских :
Дитя: не урони меня!
Смерть/Мама: Я не уроню.
Секунда спустя: роняет его в капсуле
Watching again for the who knows how many times, when he says "we can just tell them" she goes "tell who?" As if there isn't any higher power she works for. Fascinating
it hits me so hard when: "why did we never speak?" "i don't know". i'm gonna leave this obscured and i won't explain it, figure it out for yourselves, trust me, it's the best feeling when you feel/figure it out on your own. this is phenomenal! thank you!
is he asking death? or is he referring to other people?
is he asking "why haven't we spoken with eachother?"
Nova Fury18 I think it’s meant to reference regrets or hindsight in your life. Like a “Why did I never do this/or give this person a chance?” sort of thing
I was curious what symbolises fox, which appeared few times during the animation. Now it all makes sense: "In China, fox animal symbolism revolved around the afterlife. Lore has it that a fox sighting was thought to be a signal from the spirits of the deceased".
thank you
just like the egyptians, the dogs/canines were associated with protection and guide in the afterlife
I also see it as a tool to make you feel as you've seen something special and hidden and intimate that only the fox can see and which is not suppose to be seen.
Strange then, that I like foxes so much, or maybe not. Maybe I just have a better connection to the afterlife than others? Either way, I love this video.
Wonderland Sweetheart no, your normal
Death is kind, fear is not.
Rose Balecha thank you
fear and pain
Death is just a friend that greets you in the end
It's mostly the suffering, I'm sure death itself is peaceful.
Not is death, kind is fear.
This is probably the best short film I've ever watched. I can't process the amount of visual creativity, delicateness, and general love that went into this.
The ending where she covers him up then fades herself away always hits me.
Fox: "what the fuck did I just see tonight"
Great animation though
lol
Aka XII this is why I regret being a fox
Guess That's What The Fox Said😂😂
😂LOL
Please drink responsibly.
it needs to say that at the end
no, it would ruin it and make it sound too preachy. it's fine just the way it is.
idk. I just think it would be funny is my point.
Fallon V :P
Or even better...Develop self discipline and don't drink at all...
*I like how Death is sympathetic* and give him all the time he needs
to see his past and to let go of it... A very breathtaking short film!! 🎭
Today is my first time watching this video. I say this because I know I will come back to it many times in life. When Death turned into the mother and she was holding him in the palm of her hand, it touched a sensitive string in my heart. It's been a year since my mother was battling cancer. Many other women in town fell sick around the same time and many of them died of cancer, including my bestfriend's mom, who is also my mom's bestfriend. When I found myself face to face with my mother's mortality and started realizing and seeing how one day she will be really gone for good from my life, it broke my heart to the point where I don't want to admit it to myself. I realize how I was connected to my mother even before I was even a person, before I could breathe air, and before I knew anything about anything, and we were connected through love. Most of the time I forget that it was love that connected us. I mean, I don't forget but the stress of everyday life overwhelms me and disconnects me from me at times. I can feel the shadow of death roaming around us. I am afraid of losing someone precious to death. I don't want it to happen. I drive myself crazy thinking that if I do everything right, I can delay death. I burst into tears when Death became the mother although I don't understand how Death turns to be the mother.
This short film had such a simple, but beautiful and colorful animation. I haven't really seen Death portrayed in such a caring, warm-hearted and motherly light before. It just goes to show that there can be so many ways to see one concept.
Great way to think of it, I love to read comments like this. Some with true meaning.
+MissRightTurn yes, me too.
death is always perceived wrong, people don't see that where there is death a new life begins somewhere... death coexist with life it goes hand in hand just like light and dark. death is neither good or bad it's neutral I don't know how many people see my point of view but if you look at death the way I do, you'll be excited and you will keep thinking about your next adventure and where it's gonna lead you. yes it's true we only have 1 life to live but our souls are infinite, I'm afraid of death but my fears is somewhat like a kid going to school for the very first time.
That last sentence was beautiful HERETICIAM 777
HERETICIAM 777 so true. Appreciate life, it will be your last, but in your next, I dunno, I was trying to be as deep as you, and maybe I could, but it's 12 in the morning. S-sorry.....
For those that don't know, a coda is a point in music where a section repeats itself and starts again.
Thank you.
When I saw him as a baby I was afraid that was reborn in this world 😱
Нет. То, о чем вы говорите, называется РЕПРИЗА (повтор), а кода - это КОНЕЦ произведения.
De fato, Coda é o final da obra.
Coda é uma palavra de origem italiana, significa calda /tail .
Thank you for this information
The coda is the END of a piece of music. It is not a repeat.
I think this film changed my perception of death forever. This was so beautiful, calm and comforting. I also really love the art style. Amazing
Jetzt hast du keine Angst mehr vor dem Tod oder wie?
I remember someone once said that we shouldn't portray death as a bad guy. After all, he/she's there to escort us to the other side. Can you imagine if death didn't exist? Having to navigate your own way there alone would be scary AF.
I know right, would if you crossed hulk hogan on a bad day
I honestly wanted to kill myself at the time I found this video. It really made me stop and realize... I'm so young. There's so much beauty I have yet to experience... I've seen the ugliest the world has to offer, but I want to see something wonderful... The sunrise over the mountains. The tender sighs of my lover as I kiss his neck. The mewls of a newborn baby. I have existed, but I have yet to live. Months later now, I'm here again and I'm in tears just the same. It's such an ugly world we live in... we must find our brushes and paint our own visions of beauty upon this tattered canvas.
Cody Williams i hope you are still with us
Cody Williams we indeed have to paint our own World. hope you're doing fine, greetings from Buenos Aires.
Cody Williams Have you eaten a sandwich yet? Those things are really great.
Hope you're fine now mate.
MrMicrobe49
I do believe they are. After such a reflexion...
they pictured death as a woman, that is the most beautiful animation idea i have ever seen
"I brought you into this world and I can take you out!"
+Mary Thompson wow
Funny for me because in France / French, the death is a feminine word, so we might see her as a woman ^^ (my 2cts)
In Czech republic, we also take Death as a woman ;)
it fits, a woman brings you into life and a woman guides you out of it again
Don't mind me scribbling here. Around the time this animation was uploaded, I had lost someone in an accident. If I had seen this then, I would have cried a lot. But tonight, I cried equally hard.
I remembered all the countless times I had engaged in futile efforts to understand Afterlife from both scientific and religious points of view; reading people's stories on near death experiences and out of body experiences, reading books about time machines, reading Ian Stevenson's works on rebirth, past life hypnosis and what not. Nothing calmed me or consoled me. A decade later, I am in a better place than that now even though I do think of that person every now and then. Thank you for the animation. And please, to anyone reading this. Please be careful on the streets. Even at midnight. If you're not sober, don't walk or drive all alone. Take someone with you. Let them drive. If that's not possible and you are left on your own, then just don't drink in the first place.
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you for the beautiful words
“show me many things, so that i remember.” fuck. thats such a powerful line.
This is such a beautiful animation. Its atmosphere is so strangely heartwarming. The way they portrayed Death is so gentle. This really shows how beautiful life can be, so we should cherish it while it lasts. Thank you for this. Im very troubled right now, but this reminds me of all the beauties we have in this world. So even though things may seem rough, there is always a light within the darkness that surrounds you.
I just wanted to say that I know how you feel and I hope you will feel better soon, you have the strength to overcome anything that's in your way and I can only encourage you to talk about what is troubling you with the people you love. Have a nice day
+Michelle Annelies Thank you so much, I really needed to hear that so badly. I hope all will be well with you too. Really, thank you so much. That means a lot to me.
Keep going m8. Live the beautiful shitshow that is life to the fullest. We're all here with ya, and we'll all follow after you're gone.
+Nate McMillin Thank you so much. I really can't explain how blessed I am to be uplifted by even the strangest of strangers. I hope you also stay strong, and even if you don't life still goes on. Keep doing what you're doing bud
I hope I'm not late but these positive comments have inspired me. I hope that we can see the light at the very end of this dark and horrifying tunnel. And at the end we will see the overwhelming light wash all the darkness and sadness away, so we can start a new beginning. I thank you for posting this comment and wish that you reach the end of the tunnel. There's nothing better than knowing that I don't have to go through this tunnel alone. One again, I hope everything is going great for you and that everything will get better.
We want to stay alive like a child wants to stay awake, and like how a child try's to fight sleep we try to fight death and both fights will always be inevitably lost so the best thing they can do is embrace what they fight for there own good
Magic TopHat Demon Gentlmen beautifully put!
Magic TopHat Demon Gentlmen Damn.
Magic TopHat Demon Gentlmen wow, that was perfectly said
woah
Interesting parallel - the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest works of classic literature, ends with exactly this conundrum. King Gilgamesh spends the whole epic trying to find ways to become an immortal God, through various feats and accomplishments, and eventually crosses paths with the only known immortal man Uta-napishti (or as he'd be known in Christian mythos, Noah). Uta-napishti tries to explain to Gilgamesh that he literally only gained his immortality because the Gods needed someone to survive the flood, and not because of him being special or super accomplished. Gilgamesh won't believe him, so Uta-napishti illustrates his point by telling him that if he stays up for seven days straight, he'll become immortal. Less than a day later, Gilgamesh falls asleep, and he realises that he'll only really live on in memories.
8 years later and this amazing work of art pops on my algorithm once again…I’m so glad
Nearly 7 years later, and I still remember this masterpiece. I still remember and feel the emotions I had the first time I saw this animation. Truly art that has stuck with me the entire time
That fox has seen some shit...
yes it has...
To me it was take me with you oh you poof ok then bye
"Don't drop me."
"I won't."
"Cool, can I see the ocean?"
"Sure."
*Drops from hundreds of feet in the sky.*
made me laugh so much
Reand 😂😂
Damn homie was so drunk that his ghost was drunk...
I come back to this video every year when I'm feeling melancholic
"What now?"
"That's up to you."
> Ends up chasing him for wanting to keep living.
"Don't drop me."
> Proceeds to drop him in the river.
**sigh**
Me.
Maybe it's symbolic of how death can defy our intentions, or how our own wishes conflict with things that bring us safety.
TheDestrab
Then why did she offer the choice, only to betray those choices?
***** "Don't drop me."
"I won't."
"I wish to hear the sea and smell the damp woods."
Then he is dropped.
Seems to me like the second request overrode the first one, which seems to me as to show something about human nature. His wish to truly experience life could have led to him escaping death, or death rejecting him for that moment. Who says that the figure depicted in black is Death, anyway? It could just be the embodiment of darker human prerogatives, such as giving up on life. Of course that point's hard to make seeing as how the black figure seems to perform the role of Death in the first few shots, but who knows.
at the risk of sounding extremely depressing:
Because choice is an illusion when it comes to the finite and inevitability of life and death. We did not chose to live, we weren't given the choice of who our parents were, our families, our cultures, our genetics. As easily as we are human we could have been some other insignificant being in life. And if life would not give us the choice then why should death? Death doesn't choose you, it simply comes, sometimes suddenly. Choice is a gift taken for granted. we'd all like to think we have a choice but many don't. Choice can be given to us by the life we're suddenly given. If born into a stable family and stable health we are given limitless choices. Others aren't so lucky as any number of complications, impairments and struggles can interfere with the life we're given are either forced to live in misery or given limited choice of how they can better themselves and their lives. But life is not fair, and neither is death. Life and death offer no choices, and we leave life just as we enter it, vulnerable, afraid, and always wanting more...
The alternative answer:
He was given a choice of what to do with the time he had left, and he chose to run away from the inevitable.
Man: "more"
Death: "Now"
Life as the ultimate fantasy, the sole object of desire.
Aida Nikou
XD
Why am i ''now" but Death is "more"?
I love how death is porttrayed as a motherly figure trying to give you everything you never got
I like the idea (and reality) of falling to sleep/death from being so full of want that it drains all you energy. It’s a sense of satisfaction stemming from an immense sense of yearning, a strange paradoxical phenomenon that occurs in reality.
so damn drunk that his spirit is drunk

my thanks to TH-cam for recommending this to me.
georgea ikr lol
I'm trying to find a short film I saw years ago, is animated and it shows how it feels to not be able to help someone that commits suicide.
thanks for being there for me Georgea
eakpala18 Did you ever find it? I'd like to watch it! (:
I don’t think I’ve ever had such a benevolent perspective on death before, I’m confused, but also comforted, also I’m not trying to be so personal so imagine a really funny slapstick comedy punchline or occurrence right here in place of this description- such as someone winding up their arm like a clock,getting ready to swing at their own reflection 🤯
I love the contrast between death and the living the way she just silently drifts through that noisy crowd
This reminds me of Spirited Away.
windex.
Hi
I know right!!
Same here
I was scared of that movie aye but it was good
I learnt one thing from watching this,that is humans never stop asking for "more".
If u can find the truth you will never want "more". Because, at that moment, you understand that there is not something like "more". There is only "ONE".
@@gosteridunyasndabirpeygamb9473According to quantum physics, there is only “INFINITY” which is the same as your one. 1 = infinity. Parallel universes.

@@admin-morres007I think they're speaking about achieving a state of mind similar to 'enlightenment'. Human mentality is to, I guess, always seek and search for things which give comfort and pleasure to put it in a very broad and simple term. Finding this 'truth' allows for a human to not pine for these things but to just purely exist, without excessive consumption. Basically put it, being contempt physically and psychologically.

I first found this video in 2016 when my boyfriend died. I've since lost 6 more friends (I went to a wake Monday night), and every time I come back to this video and send it to other people.
I like the idea that death is not a cold, efficient being doing its job, but rather is patient and welcoming and kind. Like a mother welcoming its child home after a long hard day, enveloped by a blanket of peace.
This is how I'd like to picture it. And thst the manner of death is forgotten by the person.
It's almost 4:30 am, I was not emotionally ready for this.
You can never appreciate the significance of a thing without its contrast.
Death gives Life meaning.
Sole Ronux Just like school gives free time meaning
I don't know about that. I don't appreciate life because it has to end someday. For me it's like blinking, it's not something we have to like or dislike, we just do it. While I don't like nihilism one bit I do understand why there are nihilists.
wow, I wish Death is good and caring like this.
Perhaps it is.
I like to think so, yeah.
He's not. It would be a waste of his time. He's only collecting souls. And we always want more time. Too scared for that which we don't know yet. No matter how caring death could be, we will never be able to accept it.
Nila Kall there's no such thing as 'waste of time' for immortal being
rochelimit's hangout true but I meant it more as there is no point.
Years have passed I watched this for the first time, and every time I watch again is that weird, strong, and warm feeling. I love this with all my heart.
4:50 I don’t believe in reincarnation but this is how I imagine dying sounds like. That sound, then complete dark silence.
Silence.
Then, an explosion of light, colours, sounds, tastes, images, swirling, dancing, vibrating, pulsating, liquid streams smashing against each other, shards crystallising. A gigantic blue number 8 squeezed like an hourglass, changing shape from 8 into 3 then 1 then 0, melting and dripping red and white on petals. A green number 7 growing thorns and leaves around this flower bud which turns into a beating heart.
Coarse sand flowing through the child’s fingers, melting into glass, sipping into new hourglasses that synchronise the births of worlds. The sounds of millions of creatures rising like smoke of incense smelling of flowers drifting through space like a chorus.
The child tumbles through space. *Mum?* The sweet voice smiles *I’m here. I’ve got you*
The child enters the blackness holding onto the umbilical cord of Mum’s voice on which the worlds he made now spin and sing and shine like pearls on a string. *Mum? I made this for you* He rests in Mum’s arms with his eyes wide open beholding Beauty.
*I love you*
*I love you, too*
I feel like this shows a reason in which there might be (or are) ghosts.
Instead of just dying he wants to see more. Therefore he cant pass on.
That is why there is a string connected to him. He's attached to reality.
Death keeps saying "now", because he can choose to pass on at anytime. But wont,
The reason death takes him when he falls asleep, is because he's finally
Resting In Peace.
+Xavier Rabon You are right c:
+Xavier Rabon i would prob be like that too....

Life is real and all your memories exist while you live.
There is no evidence for the existence of souls.
This animation is so well made, it's warm and caring I love it, got tears on my eyes, Beautiful!
God said : " قل ان الموت الذي تقرون منه فانه ملاقيكم ثم تردون الى عالم الغيب و الشهادة فينبؤكم بما كنتم تعملون "
"Don't drop me"
"I wouldn't"
*drops him*
lmao
but did she?
This feels like a poem and I love it
Agreed
It's been 5 years since I first saw this I see it once or twice per year and Every time I see this I discover something new thank you for helping me grow.
Nice to see there's more people doing that too! I watch this again every time I remember it, and every time feels different
@@xlindvain me too. Just came back a few years later. It aCtually found me this time around. Made me sob like a baby. I'll never forget this animation
I feel that this animation Is so unic, delicated and gentle. Since the way that death Is showed, to all the pretty solitude that the man, boy and baby get to feel deeply. We get close to him by feeling the world trought him skin. Then, the urge of protecting and being protected Is something very well treated. Death want to protect the life of that man by bringing him to her, dying was like reborning, because death was too gentle to let It become a painfull moment.
I cried a little watching, sometimes I get back to rewatch It, so I get that feeling again of how powerful art Is when I feel a lonely teardrop on my cheek. Thanks for this piece, and congrats for the work. :)
What portrays here, in my opinion, is about Death being kind and merciful and motherly, it depicts that, when you died, Death is there to take care of you, let you see what you wanted, either what would the future of our world looks like or what it's like in the past until it's time for Death to leads you to the afterlife, or the court of heaven and hell or some other way your soul would go.
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN THINKING FOR SO LONG!!!!!!
The music, the emotions... that's Ghibli's level at this point! Almost got tears at the end, really well done!
And Death looks so much like No-Face, too
@@mochahocha7845 spirited away vibes
no this is much better
We all love a bit of Ghibli
Quando a hora chegar tomara que seja assim
I don’t remember when I first watched this. Maybe years, but I keep coming back from time to time and seldom share it with friends. Not everyone deserves to watch it.
He fell so gracefully.
on his face
face down ass up
I wanted to like, but 420 is the number

Ikr hahahha he even stays that way
A lovely story about a soul that regrets its wasted life and regrets all the things that it did not see and experience; all the things that it could have learned. I so much enjoyed this short movie.
Martha Gillespie sad. That you needed this short story to teach you what should come naturally. Ugh. Next!™
Martha Gillespie What about people who had their lives wasted for them by selfish things who feel they have the right to use people however they want?
this short film shows this, but i believe it also foreshadows another meaning in that no matter how much things we experience, it will mean nothing when we ultimately die. Living is just a spark in an endless perpetual night of death. the protagonist (the guy) wanted to see more and more till he realized that he cannot see enough to fill his void and that life was utterly meaningless. And so in the end he chose death over life, cause life is the real void we live in. the antagonist (death) wanted to show him that and that's what its about. In the end 7:40 you can see how bleak and empty his soul is when he falls asleep and enters the realm of darkness.
You know I thought about it a while and came to this conclusion. I would've taken my life years ago if I hadn't met God. Life is so empty and meaningless without God. That's the only reason I'm not suicidal. And the reason I started to believe is simply I can feel His presence everyday and every night. And this is not to be taken lightly. I feel that most people like to prove God's existence by looking at the world, but where they actually should look is themselves. Their very souls. My point of this reply is that: Life is empty and that there's no point in denying that life has nothing to offer. The only reason I feel whole is because of God.
Edrich, keep your faith pure and sustaining. It is He that gives meaning.
My interpretation is that we don't appreciate what we have because we are always chasing more.
First, you overestimate life. It is too long, there are so many things to know, adventures to experience and feelings to discover. After some time you underestimate life. Life is too short, you want more of this precious thing. But actually, life is only borrowed. Death lends it to life and takes it again. And death would like to have it back safely.
I just cried my eyes out and I'm not entirely sure why. That was strikingly beautiful.
I was trying so hard to keep it in. Now I regret not crying.
I'm interested to hear why you think that. :) I don't agree right off the bat, but this is completely interpretive, and I'm very interested in knowing what makes you feel that way.
Sarah Schreck I feel exactly the same, i cry every time i see, but i can't explain why... i feel so sad and so happy at the same time.
it could be the unconditional motherly love. human affection. being cared for and being protected. at least that's what i long for in a way which is what made me cry in the end.
Sarah Schreck My opinion is that your soul was touched,and God was trying to tell you something important,at least that is what I understood from this.
Well, this is Changing my view on death. I like this better than your soul just Sanders. Death Takes you to see all the great things in the world, all that you could ever want. But you must Rest. This Eternal Rest. A Rest in the sky. You become the Powerball. And the rain are Tears. Tears of mother death. Tears of sadness for the end, but Tears of joy for a new beginning. Life and death are an Endless circle.
Edit: After a while, this idea has Evolved a bit. I have some new ideas. Death is so motherly in this she is now Mother Death. In her arms, you can finally Rest. If there is a Mother Death, why not a Father Life? He Referee convince you to stay alive forever, so he can make it terrible for you. So there is a choice that you must make, Mother or Father. But it is not so easy to tell who is who, Cause they both wear a mask. Father has the Mask Of Ego and Mother has the Mask Of Soul. The each show you who you Think you are, and who you REALLY are respectively. Better choosed wisely.
I read your comments Im crying
+Gothic Girl Gaming I'm sorry. Was it really that bad?
Loch Mandrakin no your way on describeing the video is so beautiful I cried
+Gothic Girl Gaming Well in that case: yay! Good to see these writing classes are working
Loch Mandrakin Nice
This is wild for real
This comes from a very deep mind /imagination
And for it to be put into an animation, that's just straight up mind blowing
I've been watching this for years. The impact is so profound.
saaame. I will never forget this film
That was such a dramatic yet somewhat elegant death.
1:01
Very elegant.
*snickers*
I like you icon pic..
Eli Walker ikr
Judging on how death sits at 3:22 and how humans normally sit...
Death has a very long torso and short legs.

Exactly! Everyone here is being so sentimental n’ stuff when im just here staring at deaths tuny legs!
what about at the end when she steps over the bench
Well, technically Death doesn't have a physical body or bones, her body is kinda made of magic/darkness/whatever, as she can change her form. I guess her "legs" just shape or bend conveniently to do what she's going to do, in this case, sit down in a tiny bench.
@@doommageddon Hehe funny leggg
You leave every thing and just focus on this really man
That's the best thing I've seen lately...
We unfortunately knew the importance of time too late
This touched my soul and heart idk why...
He didn't want to go into The Void, thinking it could trick Death into showing him more and more, thus prolonging his stay, but Death knew the human soul is like a newborn child and it'll easily be subdued and tired by all the knowledge and information... Death was gentle with him, but cruel and cold at the same time, unmoved in its ways.
Fuck you.. How come you think you have the right definite answer?!
That was him, his spirit different and unique. He wanted and wished more. Not everybody does.
Perhaps Death is all about that, granting our wishes and desires. Showing and disclosing Nature of Life.
But thats up for wanting.. and he did and deserved it.. and afterall he was/is just dead.
Get a Life!
Philipe Santos he doesnt think he has the definite answer lol
6ix Paths it's a story.
Philipe Santos chill tf out
3:18 death must have some short legs
Alex Merritt Lmfao
Alex Merritt that’s what i said lmao
That’s what I was thinking 😂
LOL, just like the Rocky and Mugsy from Looney Tunes
Alex Merritt
Lel
The way they've captured and illustrated the peaceful and patient presence of Death is perfect❤
What a beautiful piece of art... Thank you so much for this precious 9 minutes . Thank you...
Does anyone else like to go to the comments and just read what people say and screen shot it sometimes because what they say is beautiful or just a good thing to read again and again?: I guess that's just me
Small Emo Children just did ;)
I do that too :)
Honestly i get more negative expirience from that.
I just did it, and then i saw Your comment haha
Small Emo Children I agree some people comment funny and useful things :)
I think I just saw the most beautiful animation on earth?
Check this one out:
watch?v=Bhq5dE6XJ9o
+Lia Madea not really, no xD
Yes, WW)(47, we all did
Lia Madea jesus...
An absolutely brilliant masterpiece. It made me cry. Death is a comfort at the end of the line, not a monster that devours us.
"i hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child & fell asleep on the couch during a family party. i hope you can hear the laughter from the next room"
I've always thought of death as something to fear, something to stay oblivious to, but this has shined a light that has entirely changed my prospective on death.
This video is absolutely stunning.
I`ve always seen death as a counterbalance for life, it is necessary for life to grow and change.
IKR finna commit suicide
I always have seen death as what it is, an unavoidable end to all things that makes every attempt of men to perdure and search for eternity vain and pointless. It's also quite reinsuring to know there is an end to all of this, immortality could be quite interresting in some way but what the point of living is, it's that you can die.
Kindra Banks ou
Kindra Banks death is just a journey
When I meet death, I want more. I want to see the bottoms of the oceans of this earth, the plains and the forests, the mountains and the cliff-sides.
I want to feel the love of my friends, family, and partner(s). I want to feel pain. I want to feel recovery, I want to experience near death and just before life. I want to breathe the airs of polluted wastelands and islands undiscovered, the coldness of caves and the heat of the core.
I want to glide through the clouds, through deadly storms and clear skies; witness dusk and dawn from the eyes of the worlds people, feel the happy thoughts and the sad, the angry and calm, the depressed and the elated.
I want to know gain; with the consequence(s) of loss because of it. I want to know what the smartest people think; how they gained what they knew/know and teach the next generation.
I want to learn how everything works.
When I face death, I will want until I feel content with my existence. I will want even if it’s time to go.
You didn't get the message did you?
beautiful
Crime Lisa did you write this?
You can do this while you are alive
This is beautiful, i wish my phone screen was big enough to screen shot this.
These where the fastest 9 Minutes ever experienced
I don't think I have enough words to describe how much I love this piece of art
