This is an excellent short film about greed, consumerism, and scientific progress. I love the animation style, it’s so unnerving with its realistic features and irregular movement, it gives quite an uneasy feeling. The story itself is a world with a solution to everything. It’s scary once the downward spiral begins and we see the world unravel and revert to what it once was, only for the cycle to (supposedly) begin again. Edit: The comments have some great insight on the dystopian ideas this video has!
Ape While I somewhat agree, I somewhat disagree as well. Personally, I got dystopian vibes from it. In ways it’s like utopian societies, everything being perfect with cream, turning to dystopian BECAUSE of selfish rich assholes. It’s also not. So I’ll have to half agree with you there.
Oh man believe me, you're the worst flaw of society. Your comment is so bizzare and stupid, my hairline curled back and I wanted to die. You might see yourself as a galaxy brained scientist or a smart guy, but your failed attempt on trying to sound smart was enough to make me puke.
It's not greed. It's government. Control of the masses. A hierarchical plan from divine consciousness itself. One someone at the bottom may never understand just how important it really is to save humanity from itself. Sin is everywhere to test us all to see how faithful and pure we truly are, and so many of us give into that temptation and prove just how necessary the greater good through sacrifice truly is. All of this "bad" in the world is there to purify the world on the fly throughout time itself, and its necessity will never go away. "Satan" is a fundamental purity tester to make sure we all have a purpose in life by saying no to the temptation, and following a higher path.
thinking about this. i feel like it represents how the media can manipulate something of beauty and ability to pain and suffering. the creator didn’t have to share his product, or tell people about the self duplicating. but he did. his selflessness was overseen by corruption and manipulation. it reflects the way reality warps even the most amazing ideas.
95% of problems in the world result from human greed. What’s interesting is that, nowadays, AI, a technology that could do all of our work for us, will probably be monopolized by big corporations. Mass unemployment will happen and the divide will deepen. Of course most people are too blind and distracted nowadays by the media to see any of this.
My god, i remember watching this like three years ago, and i already understand the point of this story, "behind the perfect happiness, there's always someone who only care about greed and taking all of the peacefullness for themself"
i personally would say it seems more so like even when we have a solution to a problem the people in power intervene to keep the problem so long as they stay in power
rich people are making money off the poor people, if poor people can do what they wanted to do, rich people couldn't make any more money, this is based true life :)
It's interesting how cream works. Cream itself is essentially perfection, but whatever is submerged in it doesn't become cream, but a sentient being of energy. This means cream respects the value of life and has a moral code deemed "perfect"
@@tea-zv6hm I think what they mean is that if Cream can fix anything and improve anything to no clearly defined limit, then cream itself must be absolute perfection itself. You can’t get better than Cream. So you would think cream would turn everything else into cream too, because that’s the best thing to be. But that wouldn’t make people happy, that’d be a grey goo scenario. This cream, this intelligent and all-improving substance, has enough of a moral code and intelligence to know that becoming cream is undesirable despite cream being the best thing there is. It’s perfection incarnate, and it has morals.
In the end the most powerful people in the world don't really care about making it a better place. In the end all they care about is making a profit, and a world without problems isn't profitable.
It's not really the profit so much as the relative wealth to others and the power that it buys them. They'd be fine with $1 if everyone else only had a penny.
@@Kaylakaze of course wealth is relative, but I can't see what that has to do with anything he said? He didn't say anything contradicting wealth being relative, nor did he even talk about that subject. And it is still about the profit no matter wealth being relative or not, a $10 profit is still a profit like a $1.000.000.000 profit is a profit.
This reminds me of how my mom would tell me the story of a scientist who invented a really good anti lice thing and how other companies that did the same but less effective thing made sure they took them down before it was widely spread
This reminds me of the Tim and Eric show, and I don't even like that show because they're always inventing things that don't make sense. It's always stupidity
@Grad Tolentino I know there were a couple of episodes where the real "monster" was just a man. The biggest example that comes to mind is the one where the Parliament member has to have intercourse with a pig. Also, the cream itself is the tech needed to make this a Black Mirror episode.
- is he dead? - no, he exponentially improved himself physically and mentally to a zenith of absolute perfection, subsequently evolving into a being of pure light energy. *It just sounds like death but with extra steps*
Sorry but becoming a being of pure light energy is not death, hell it's not even close to death. More like just simply transformed into an angel. Ah now just wait for some random idiots to say R/whoosh or 'you must be fun at party'
this hits hardd it's like no matter how much we try to cover up our problems with temporary fixes we’re still left with the same broken pieces underneath kinda makes you question how much we sacrifice for the illusion of perfection
That wasn't the point, there were no temporary solutions, cream was THE solution, but the rich and powerful didn't like having their power becoming obsolete

its incredible how this represents the human society.

What's even crazier is that through this utopia, there was going to be a dystopia like Powfutality said, there would be no meaning to creation anymore. It would either be mutually assured destruction, or everyone transcends and either way humanity is utterly erased.

Every time I watch this it stuns me. The brilliance at display here is overwhelming, and I'm entirely convinced this is the greatest thing Firth has ever made. Bravo, David. Bravo.
One of the best animated cartoons of all time, I say that without hyperbole. It clearly shows how class interest drives society towards worse outcomes for the self interest of the bourgeoisie. This is the kind of art I want to see more of.
This is probably the most lucid and tame David Firth film, and yet simultaneously the most horrifying. A feat worth more recognition than I can properly bestow
Because its based on principle of the modern world and powerful elite something that would get rid of perpetual suffering (Cream) wouldn't be allowed to exist freely as seen when the big wealthy boys take it out world wide
@@jessegoonerage3999 except this video fails to portray capitalism as it shows a company actively hurt its own profits by making its product freely self-duplicating instead of using scarcity to hike up prices.
It’s just to repair thing I mean they should rename it to rebuild gel instead of naming it cream because it doesn’t have a full name of it self you know why not name it rebuild gel it could be a perfect name for a rebuild product to fix any issues and errors and ruin stuff
Neuralink is uncannily similar to this. They talk about solving paralysis, blindness, and even mental disorders. And eventually giving people infrared vision.
@@snowhitechristmas No, the thing that is really weird, im founding like 800k channels with verified and with many suscribers, but no video...how they get those subs? lol anyway the video is sad
Moral : everything could become perfect and there will still be some people who find a problem with it whether motivated by greed, power, selfishness and other things..
on a more serious note, this is brilliant, because from the get go you expect the twist to be that cream would be some form of mind control serum or something along those lines, but then subvert that and end it in a more realistic manor by having the rich and powerful try to ban it to push their own agenda paralleling how some people are trying to ban vaccines or gmo's in our own world.
I genuinely thought this was going to be a message of having no problems removing the spice of life and making everything boring but i was wrong Great twist
Jesus loves you! I warn you of your sins, repent and believe the Gospel! If you love Him then keep His commandments! MAKE THE CHOICE, JESUS OR THE WORLD, JESUS IS ETERNAL, THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY.
Cream is something that fixes “everything” but the one that it can’t fix are the people and the few 1% who focus more on their greed then other people’s happiness
Honestly I find the ending a bit unrealistic. If it really could duplicate everything it would duplicate itself infinitely, leading to a massive growing ocean of cream and light energy, engulfing the earth but not the vacuum surrounding it, since that is not a thing.
David Firth deserves so much more for what he does. Honestly. This video was so wonderful and deep and thought provoking, I’ve watched so many times and every single time I watch it so many new details jump out at me. Bravo, monsieur Firth, I applaud you with utmost respect
So, I'm here stuck between "Cream is just putting everyone into a happy dream, not a happy reality" and "The people who control the world will manage to ruin everything that makes them less powerful however beneficial to the world that thing is.".. That's a very genius work, not knowing which side is the good side, or if there's a good side, or is there even "good and bad" to begin with, and it's not just a subjective delusion we share to convince ourselves that certain things should be done and another should end and burn in hell. I'm mind blown..
I don't think you're thinking of it broadly enough. There's clearly a worse side. Remember that nothing would be taken from the wealthy except their ability to subjugate others. Even still, they could use cream to eliminate their desire to do so. They choose not to. The "happy dream" idea requires more thought probably... Cream is a paradox in that - if using it potentially lessens the value of existence, presenting a problem. Cream the problem away.
I don't think it is a happy dream cream because we see them removing all the good cream has done like taking away the food from that child or removing that forest
@@thalesvondasos contrary to popular belief rich does not equal evil. Take some time to disconnect from the media, you might actually experience independent thought.
Its the powerfull ppl not the media. Media is just a tool. Its sad bacause this happened multiple times with many good and cheap products. They make things shittier so you would buy more.
This is one of the most powerful short films I've seen. It's a perfect way to illustrate how far people will go to stay in power, even if it means prohibiting world peace and perfection.
Reminds me of an old video saying cancer has been curable for years, but it’s a lot more profitable for companies to treat and charge for chemo and stuff instead of curing it 😬 can only hope that’s not true
When this animation was released,I was really scared of it because of that art style But after all these years I finally realized this is a masterpiece
Omg same, it used to seem so much more disturbing when I was younger as it’s sort of the same style as salad fingers - but now I recognise the reality of it and how true of a reflection it is of our society
We had to be honest, this is the reality in these days. When someone is inventing things that can actually solve perennial issues in the world and salvage it, the powerful will f*cked it up...It just so sad..
Kind of like what Rockefeller did with "Alternative" medicine and how there are several cures for Cancer but that information is suppressed... because like where is the money in that 🤷🏽♀️
More likely the powerful will just keep it for themselves, but if something like Cream was actually invented I don't think people would give a sh*t anymore to keep it away from other people.
There is this book called Scythe were everyone is immortal, and the only way to die is by these people called “Scythes” who have the job of “gleaning” (killing) the people to make sure the world population stays under control, otherwise you can commit suicide as much as you can, but you will always be revived.
This is the perfect example of human stupidity. No matter how good something is people will spread rumors and essentially erase it leading to more bad then good
If you did something contributal and that can help everyone people who disagree are gonna wait until you made a small mistake making it a big misinformation to others and let other people hate it. When you did not make mistakes and make it a near perfection(like the cream) those greedy rich people who got their money in bad ways such as pollution or deforestation I think are trying hard to push the people to their standards and make a good person punished in harmful ways while the rich goes to their normal ways being greedy.
@@SamuelBlack84 yeah because rockets that go to space, weapons that instantly kill, and ever improving health that stretches our life span is going nowhere right?
@SleepyVixx tbh the rich people are the ones who are evil they want to be on top (its from another comment btw) because they are selfish . this cream madness is actually too much panic and crazy people are the ones who were too scared apreading messages or either the cream were poisoned.
man the atmosphere in this is amazing. I was terrified the entire time waiting for when something horrible would happen, simply because of the visual and audio tones.
I need help lol it's driving me crazy. There was this tv show when I was younger probably 10 years ago or so in which it was animated in this style and there was an online game that went with it.

This is an excellent short film about greed, consumerism, and scientific progress.
I love the animation style, it’s so unnerving with its realistic features and irregular movement, it gives quite an uneasy feeling.

Waaay ahead of you on that, David.
on a more serious note, this is brilliant, because from the get go you expect the twist to be that cream would be some form of mind control serum or something along those lines, but then subvert that and end it in a more realistic manor by having the rich and powerful try to ban it to push their own agenda paralleling how some people are trying to ban vaccines or gmo's in our own world.

Honestly I find the ending a bit unrealistic. If it really could duplicate everything it would duplicate itself infinitely, leading to a massive growing ocean of cream and light energy, engulfing the earth but not the vacuum surrounding it, since that is not a thing.

So, I'm here stuck between "Cream is just putting everyone into a happy dream, not a happy reality" and "The people who control the world will manage to ruin everything that makes them less powerful however beneficial to the world that thing is.".. That's a very genius work, not knowing which side is the good side, or if there's a good side, or is there even "good and bad" to begin with, and it's not just a subjective delusion we share to convince ourselves that certain things should be done and another should end and burn in hell.
I'm mind blown..
I don't think you're thinking of it broadly enough. There's clearly a worse side. Remember that nothing would be taken from the wealthy except their ability to subjugate others. Even still, they could use cream to eliminate their desire to do so. They choose not to.
The "happy dream" idea requires more thought probably... Cream is a paradox in that - if using it potentially lessens the value of existence, presenting a problem. Cream the problem away.
I've nothing to say to that... Wow.
Ay u has cream in ur mind or smthn
I don't think it is a happy dream cream because we see them removing all the good cream has done like taking away the food from that child or removing that forest
