excellent work of art
Most of the people on Newgrounds (I'm assuming) are rather young... I'm 30, starting to turn gray and this film made me think of a lot of things... it made me wonder how old I'll be when my own children turn twenty, made me realize that I don't have much time left to start my family. It made me wonder how long my father has left...
I'm not afraid of dieing, but the war is never scary when it's in another country is it? Your flash is a work of art, and I think that (if anyone) the only people that won't be deeply affected by this piece are those who are young enough that death is still just something in movies and retarded stick flashes. I'm impressed. I don't want to give an actual criticism, for this I'm sorry. There are 3 high goals to every art piece, technique, emotion and meaning. I feel that to point out technical things with this would demean the abundant emotion, so I refrain from doing so. Although I can say that I'm happy there was no ideology or theology present, this too would have demeaned and belittled the emotion.
Excellent work! This deserves the front page far more than most that get the honor.
