westysays...pritty good.
whats strange though is although im sure the raw drawing was a "styl" and done on perpouse allot of the time it looked realy basic something you would use in a kids cartoon with realy simple flat colours . and then in other shots of the air craft and other things the detail went up quite abit
lots of the shots i thought were realy nicely done though and flowed realy well together , i would have preferd a slighty more mature art style though and i think a mor emature art style would have gelld with the CGI components and FX sceens better.
finaly , i think the story was a bit lacking in content and was deliverd rediculously slowly for such a simple message , i allso found the ending prodictable and not realy what i wanted.
im allso not 100% certain on the message or if th emessage convayed actualy works , I guess it makes more sense from an amercan perspective where it was 100% optoinal to go to war. Im prityy sure from the uk perspective it was a case of if we dont fight the germans we are fucked.
I think the plot and message would have worked better if this was set in the context of a more obvouse moral dilemma and i actualy asumed this was the case when the bomb dores opend i thoght there plane would be the one that droped the A bomb , as in that instance u have a far more obvouse moral dilemma to things. other than that i guess it could have made more of a thing showing savilean deths. (although the cartoon did alude to that and the piolot reolising the simularaties of humanity.)
in the end If there is no real moral dilema and the piolot is esentualy fighting because he has to , im not quite sure what he could convay to his son or future generatoins that would be of anny use (within the context of choosing to fight or not).
Skeevesays...I tend to agree with westy on this one.
Firstly, the video didn't provide much of a moral dilemma - particularly one large enough to fit the tone of the message.
Secondly, pilots (then and now) experience significantly lower rates of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and less remorse for what they have done. While it isn't impossible for a bomber pilot to feel remorse, in the majority of cases you will find that an infantryman feels more remorse over a single kill than a bomber pilot for hundreds. This made the video seem a little whiny to me.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to geo321's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

thats whats weard and why around half way through i asumed it was the nuke thing as im pritty sure most of those guys commited suiside , + it would have drawn more to the wastefull nature of war.
geo321says...*kill
