    Could possibly mean that the answer is different for everyone? Everyone is going through something different so the answer to your problems might not be the answer to theirs.

      That was my interpretation. Your answer is not necessarily their answer. And just because it's your answer, doesn't mean you need to keep it to yourself either, just leave it somewhere someone like you can find it.

    You find the answer, try to share, get denied and ignored.
    You try to force your answer on others,
    see the monster you’ve created...
    And realize people need to find the answer themselves.

    This is a great parable I think. When you have an answer, or something important to you, you want to share it with other people and people almost always turn you away, and so u go along trying to share your ideas with the world, but no one cares. So u go to a place to trade ideas, but what your giving your idea for isn't worth it. You get angry and in your last effort force it on people who didn't want/care. (Those snake things) this causes an uproar, so your good intentions go down the drain. Its sad, but what people miss is that the best way to share something important to u, is to start small, watch it grow, and then one day, someone who really cares will stumble upon it. This told us all of that with only a few representative scenes, this is truly an amazing and beautiful video ❤❤

    People don't want to see the answer when in front of them.
    People want to give you other or their own answers instead of considering yours.
    Even when others are out of answers they may refuse yours.
    Forcing your answer on someone can cause problems.
    Sometimes it's best to let it go and let someone else discover their own answer.
    This is my take on all this.

      @Broeckchen ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think there's more to it.
      First off - people need to be in the right mindset you receive. This is why when the protag approaches random people around, they don't care. They aren't in the right headspace right now.
      In the emporium, the person is receptive but wants to share in turn, and the protagonist isn't willing to receive either. None of the other answers feel as important to them as their own. But notice how in the very end of the story, one of the Emporium shopkeeps answers DOES enrich that of the protagonist! Without letting it in, they wouldn't have been able to truly share their idea!
      But the trash monster especially isn't just unreceptive. It eagerly looks at the answer! Only to be unimpressed with it once it sees it.
      Because some people are in places in life where your advice is just absolutely unhelpful. You can't tell a homeless person to tidy up their room. That advice may be almost universally helpful, but it's not just useless, but utterly insulting to them. I think that's what that scene represents, how forcing your own solutions on certain people can even do more harm than good.
      In the end, the protagonist creates the right environment for their answer. An environment that is welcoming to people with the right mindset, questions and problems to find it helpful. And that is when the answer does the most good it can.
      The exchange at the Emporium was necessary for this. The protagonist's answer couldn't have gotten there without that exchange. The protagonist was never singularly correct, and the ending represents them realizing this to the point where they can let go a little and shift from shoving the answer at others to just making it easily accessible.

    This could possibly be a metaphor on how people may have a certain belief or view, but sometimes it feels like nobody quite understands it? Personality my belief is that nothing matters unless you want it to. Whenever I try to explain that to family members or friends they will listen sometimes but usually change the subject pretty quickly because it doesn't align with what they think to be true. It often makes me frustrated and I want to make them see exactly how I see the world (which basically is portrayed when he tries to force the answer onto the snake dude thing in the alley rip) I mean I guess what I'm saying is it doesn't usually go well. Everybody has their own view on things and I have to remind myself that my answer is most likely not the answer for everybody else. Even if I move on from what I believe now, there may come a day that somebody else understands exactly what I'm going through. Spread what you believe not through force but through flowers

      That's what the goo snake thing represents, it finds no point in these boxes which everyone holds. It doesn't see the point of why people hold their own boxes, so there for it finds it pointless to have one.
      It is an obvious metaphor for nihilism. But nihilism is different from optimistic nihilism, optimistic nihilism in this video symbolizes those people who've put their own things in their own empty boxes, but the person who found the box didn't put his own things in the box, because it already has something inside of it.
      If this which a person holds deer made thembe a good person and gave them jobs so the person could provide for his/her family, would you consider their solution to their question wrong? Or evil?

      Yeah, and that people then try to make up false answers instead, like the grasshopper who tried to offer her something else, some other "box" rather than accepting hers. To him, the rightness of the answer didn't matter, just that there was some answer to give. As if an answer was just a piece of clothing to try on.
      Then the worms in the back were so desperate for answers, excavating every possible answer they had been fed by the grasshopper (or others like him). When they see the truth, they only idly look at it, sort of hopeful, then leave, feeling disappointed, not understanding it for what it is. Just another box, just another false answer.
      And force-feeding them upon it doesn't work either. No matter if the box were real or not, trying to do that to a crowd that has already been disappointed so many times will get a giant-monster mob like that.
      It's interesting, how so many different reactions to truth are displayed. Though, whether the truth is just her own personal truth or something that would have had merit to the deniers had they understood it, is another question. Different things work for different people, I guess.

    This is so cool, I notice how he tries to share "the answer" with everyone, thus showing that when you know the truth you want to share. But no one wants to listen, and he gets harassed for it. The answer to your problems is probably really hard to accept, and most people want to find something easier. He got frustrated and eventually tried to force the answer onto someone else, which was obviously a bad idea. When someone isn't in a position and frame of mind to accept a hard answer then they will push back, no matter how well intentioned you are. Ultimately he left the answer where someone who goes out of their way to put themselves in the appropriate mindset will find it, when they are able to accept it. That's not the end though, during credits you see him helping people, being a positive influence. Cause while they may not be able to accept the answer, they can see his example, see how he shines, and still have their lives enriched through his actions.

    honestly, the meaning is understood only reviewing several times intermittently. and only now dawned on me. this is incredible! when you just want to tell someone, when you understand something, something simple and small, which fits relatively to the box, it glows like a real treasure, but for the others "answer" something really disgusting, empty or they not needed it. and it's useless to try to force others to know "answer". it's...brilliant. hope to see another animation from you~

    Every time I watch this I cry because it’s a lesson I had to learn the hard way, and it’s a lesson many people have to learn but haven’t yet. The art is really cute and your character design is really lovable. Every time I come back to this I think I can watch it without crying - but it hits too close to home and I cry every time I watch it. It was so nicely put together and I hope everyone can find their own answer one day, and understand that it’s a different answer for everyone.

    It shows that everyone has their own perspective of life and everything around them.
    Edit: And that life repeats itself to those who share the same mindset. But this is written by people so I don't take it as truthfully since I haven't experienced this. Only the feeling of a true and happy world. Although another reason this animation is incorrect is because there will always be bad people and flowers don't magically grow. After all, my opinion is that this is a not so bad video.

  • @claudiag.9307
    @claudiag.9307 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ok so the art and animation in this is simply INCREDIBLE, pure eye candy, the colors, the character designs, it's hard to tak it all in. Then there's the story which was masterfully told (not so easy in a short film) and the music... All in all, it's absolutely fantastic! This is why I love animated short films

If you find your personal truth, something that is right for you then go with it, dont let other people tell you otherwise. Life is short enough so do what makes you happy and accept the believes of others, be yourself, be proud of who you are and maybe you inspire someone to do the same. That's the message i get from this Animation.

  • @7ofspades7
    @7ofspades7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +263

    This is a beautiful animation, I'd like to share my theory on the symbolism of this amazing work of art. Inside the box was a bunch of NSFW fanfiction that our hero wrote long ago, he found it while searching through his computer. He looked at them, and was quite impressed, he thought they were great. So he tried to show people, friends, family, random strangers, they were all disgusted. So he went to a website to share his creation, in a sort of... fanfiction trading system, but he wasn't satisfied by anything, no story could appeal to all of his fetishes. So he went somewhere else. He found a group of people that had all the same kinks as him, but they had ran out of good content to read. He once again went to share his writing, but the grammar was so bad, that even these people just couldn't accept it as quality content. After he went into a fit of rage, the people of this place turned on him, they forced him out because of his bad grammar. After all this trouble, he just gave up. He made a tumblr account and posted it there, for someone to find, but he slowly forgot about it. Then comes the girl. She finds his story, and loves it, but by now, our hero has forgotten about it, he's got a job, a family, he gave up long ago. The girl is left with this one story, and nothing else, now her journey will continue beyond what we see, she will search and search, to find a similar fanfiction.
    The moral of the story is that no matter how good you think your Yoda x Webkinz story is, you can't just go around forcing people to like it, you need to let people find it themselves. You just gotta let them come to you, but this requires patience, if you let go too soon, none of it matters... yes, someone will read it, but now they'll want more, and you'll doom them to a similar journey to yours. If you stay, you can watch your fanbase grow, and grow. Your writing will slowly improve, and everyone, will be happy.

    To me it's like saying you might find something to be very special to you, and others will not always agree, no matter how amazing or special it seems to you. A person may be completely unimpressed by what you find to be so amazing and that doesn't give you the right to force your opinion on others, just as it doesn't give them the right to tear you love for it away. You should just accept that it make you happy and no one else needs to approve of that or see what you see. It makes you happy and that's what matters

    THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE SEEN ALL DAY! 😭 This is awesome. I love the expressions, the character designs, the beautiful backgrounds, and the hopeful feel. The message, the way I interpret it, speaks to me on a spiritual level. Instead of trying to force other people to believe what you believe, let the positive impact on others speak for itself and lead others to the light.
    I liked how the light was portrayed. The viewer can't see it, making it magical and open to imagination, as well as better for storytelling in this instance IMO. Whatever it is always puts joy in the child's heart, even when he feels bad about blowing up at the slime thing. Personally, it reminded me of God's grace. 😀 The child's decision to leave the box for someone else to find was incredibly heartwarming and a satisfying conclusion. In fact, I was engaged throughout the whole film, waiting to see where it would go. No filler!
    Major props! I hope to make animations as amazing as yours someday!!

      Simply, a young child Finds his belief. They tried to share it, but is rejected. The mantis tried to offer other choices for them, but they refuse. In the alleyway, we find all who lost their belief. They had no truth nor hope. He offers his, but they disagree. Angered, the youth forces it on them, but only angers the lost ones. He flees and places his answer where he found it, hoping for someone who agrees with it to find it once again. Theoretically he’s not the first. For this happens to everyone.
