That was the sickest fucking video, I am not impressed. Animation was bad, story was bad, actually it didn’t tell a story. That was a waist of my life, to watch that.

*sigh* I usually contain myself but after reading the comment above I have to say what I usually think about shorts like these.
People (what I’ve noticed is that they are mostly french) have got to stop making terribly ugly characters, making an emo (extremely depressive, emo just seems like a better word) storyline, having everyone just die, making the storyline so depressing and incompletely that idiots will say that the meaning is very deep and complex.
People just hitting eachother appearantly because that’s what they do for fun, and this guy has to cut himself and bleed all over everything to heal them. Then we have mr. retard beat up a dog, and cumple up a photo of both of them. Then the healer turns to stone, I assume to escape but is he that weak?
And man I really can’t handle these ugly characters like really I can’t comprehen why people what to make characters that are replusive then call it art. Don’t worry if they’re monsters I can completely understand but if they’re the main character I guess I susposed to feel sorry for. I just can not do that when he’s that ugly.
Good job on the lighting, modeling and comp. Animation is great too.
I just want to see a nice story, I know that not hard to ask, I see them all the time.

I thought that the video was very impressive and creative, something different from what I am used to seeing. I usually have a hard time feeling bad for the hero in a story because you know that in the end the hero will be just fine. However, this film was like the real world, where life can be tragic.

The ‘real world’ is far far less tragic than you can possible imagine. On the techincalaspect yes I can say that it is a good video but after that nothing is.
