This was strangely beautiful. I cried for death. The sadness in its eyes. The meaning is so profound.
Seems like a parallel to an owner putting down their pet.
You think so? Hmmm...sounds reasonable. But the first part with the bunny....I'd like to know what the creator meant when she made this.
Daniella Ramdhanie I am sure there is more than one meaning. It's just the part at the end, where the deer is struggling to stand and walks towards death, as if asking him for relief from the pain. Of course, as owners we _want_ our pets to live forever but at the same time we don't want to see them suffer.
You're right. I'd like to know how others interpreted this. It's such a fascinating concept that can impact everyone in different ways.
Genki Gal I feel the same to. Death could probably be all of us. Well a part of us.
I had to put down my phone and cry for a few minutes after this. It was so touching and heartbreaking. All I can think of is how lonely being Death must be, and the one time it found something it wanted to save, it found out that things can't live forever. And the doe knew that it was her time, she couldn't go on anymore, so she turned to her best friend, whom she trusted to help guide her to peace and rest. The music. The staging. The hug. The credits showing the doe at the end. Death's facial expressions despite the skull mask. Everything about this was well executed and simply beautiful. And I'm gonna go cry some more.
Came for the spooks. left with the feels.
this is the most beautiful thing i've seen in a long time
me too
me too
So true
It's so hard to be loving, but deadly at the same time. sigh.
😯😢😢😢
This really should be an oscar nominated short. As an animator myself, this is one of the best animated shorts I've seen
Leevi Stein so true
Absolute GOLD...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s
.....
this One hits where it counts..
Look'n at shit from a Different perspective...
BRAVO!!! 🖤🖤🖤
she greeted death as an old friend
Sam Burton very profound indeed
Sam Burton
...and went with him gladly, departing this life. As equals.
🎶Hello , Darkness, my old friend🎶
Is that some Harry Potter reference? I remember hearing it about the three brothers. I'm not sure but probably Deathly Halllows??
That day will come for each and every one of us eventually.
People fear death because they fear the end of all things. But death is a part of the cycle of life. Without death, life would eventually become meaningless, for we judge things based on the likelihood we will lose them. I find great meaning in this animation. It is important to remember all the good death does for us, and not simply the bad. Death is the end of suffering, of prejudice and inequality. It is freedom from pain, from stress, from fear. In truth, it isn't death humans fear. It is the pain of dying, the fear of what comes after, and the terrible knowledge of what awaits our loved ones when we die.
im only scared of what will happen, in what way ill die. will i be murdered, drown? i dont know i could have a slow and painful death which scares me a lot.
Every moment you are alive, you are dying. It is always slow and it is usually painful. Life is pain, intermixed with beauty, love and joy. On a slightly more material plane of existence, when we are dying in earnest, such as drowning, burning, bleeding out, our nerves are so overwhelmed with sensory data that we don't actually feel much at all, beyond numb. Think of it a bit like sitting down for a really long time and then standing. Your legs feel really weird, numb and kind of not all there. This is the moment before pins and needles, and it's essential the same feeling as dying.
lol?
Kitty Wood , you are so right. We all fear death from its pain. But this short is to teach us that it does us all good and that we shouldn't think about it being bad
Kitty Wood I thought of my nanna dyeing I bursts out into tears in still crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pray for my man she is so kind and helpful and tries to help in the best she can and people take advantage of her 😭😭😭😭😭 sorry if you think I went a bit personal with this comment but all I van feel is sadness so I can't think if it's personal or not 😭😭😭 oh god someone tell me somthing that will cheer me up cherish every moment you have with them 😭😭 I feel even more that she's gonna die cos she's had cancer 2 times
i never cry. i never cry. i havent cried for something in a long time. wow. im sobbing. this is beautiful.
check out wolfsong then but for the love of christ keep a box of tissues like me thinking about even just the music makes just about anyone who's seen it want to cry
ok. I'm going in >:L
XxTearSplashxX ok are you coming back out soon xD you've been in for a week
Omg I forgot to say I loved it XD I didn't cry though
RedBear me neither. its still sad 😢
after 5 years this short film still makes me cry
Death is a scar,that will never heal.
Love is a memory,that no one can steal.
+Jimbobaloo videos Scars kinda fade
Actually, depending on how it is treated, the depth of the wound, and the severity, many scars fade into either near-invisible lines, or vanish completely.
*****
Or they can vanish completely.
My sister had a long scar on her face once, from cutting it on a metal ledge.
It stuck to her skin for two years, before it was just... gone.
and that's just lovley
good poem
Cried so bad at the end.. geez that was a great animation and story
IKR!
I didn't think it'd be that sad but geez!
Yeah!
I cried too it's so sweet to give a message saying ur still a friend in the inside but sometimes u can't end well...
me too...😂😂😭😭😭
the feeling when you cry soo fu__ hard, and don't know why...😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
The meaning is SO BIG and SO DEEP... this video is really so perfect...
I don't get teary very easily but this is one of those incredibly moving stories of true love and friendship. I get slightly emotional at the end when the deer realizes she's no longer strong enough to stay with the herd, and in her final moments she looks at Death reassuringly, almost as if to say "It's okay, I'm ready to go now." And the tears begin to well as Death wraps his arms around her neck in a gesture that tearfully replies "I will never forget you." jeez, I'm glad this was a silent film, otherwise I'd be weeping like a child. the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Goodbye happiness.
Hello five hours of crying in the corner of the room.
Thank you Marsha Onderstijn for this incredible peace of art.
I really appreciate who got this idea of showing death like this .
I can't bear to watch it... It touched my heart very hard. It's very sad to see all the animals die... All the animal lovers,stay strong.
Mellissa Qistina Halidi
I know you posted this 10 months ago, but i just kinda wanted to say that it's not an animation about animal cruelty or anything, all animals die in the end, as do we humans and as do plants. They don't die suffering in this video, in fact, they go rather peacefully.
So now that you know that i hope you can bring yourself to watch this beautiful and meaningful animation :)
i know i over a year, but yeah same thing, its not just about animals.
Every living thing dies. Not that great way though.
**Is crying ** SOO SADDDDD
Alter tale Tori ikr!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😩😩😩😩😩
Maples Tree
Maples Tree SAME HERE I DON'T HAVE A SOUL BUT STILL I'M CRYING FROM THAT T^T
Kweaii wolf Girl its so werid!!!!and cute too same time
aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA
how many people got a flood in their house after watching this?
Me.
How strange. A flood right after I was crying.... Hmm, I wonder why...
AvaTheBear after reading that made me laugh really hard. that was a funny comment
the meening is never fear death enbrace it even death loves it has to do wot it is doing
death is just a door, a door that leads to haven . thats the meening
ME!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Super Pikachu Gamer me 2
Fascinating how when the deer accepted Death and touched it, it didn't die instantly. It was only when Death reciprocated and wanted a hug that his dear friend died. What a lonely life for the reaper...
Indeed. I even cried my eyes out.
+Crystalbawlla - That would be going overboard in the story line.
"The Life Of Death" as Death goes about his daily job of taking the lives of animals in the forest when he comes across a lovely doe. He falls in love with her and can't bring himself to take her life and so they slowly become close friends. But in the end, the doe taught Death that dying is also part of Life.
That's a very interesting interpretation! I like it. My interpretation was that all Death has done for all it's life was kill things, all it knew was death...until one day it went to go kill a doe and hesitated because he had begun to think about life....and then he decides to spend time with the doe and learn more about life rather than just death
@@littlewhitebutterflies4586 the thing that LovePizaaa said is in the description of the video haha
this was the best way to tell people that death is OK and it always happens in its own time and for a reason my dog almost got put down, there was a reason for it and my two did and my cat died all for reasons. I hope you all understand that death is OK. 😢
death's job is to go around and give everyone a peaceful death. Yet sometimes it misses some people it doesn't mean to be. cruel.
Gl1mm3ring AJ you're right
I do,my dog resently died 😭😢 RIP
I hope i find that black thing and it touches me... I don't want to continue anymore, I need to rest forever
This is probably the best animation I have ever seen, the story is incredibly well told and is great at communicating emotion tied to the actions accordingly.
This animation made me think about my Dog that we had to put down almost two weeks ago, this animation feels like it has let me understand that it's okay to die.. especially when it is peaceful.
Look up "Wolfsong" and tell me how you feel then.
I saw wolfsong a couple days before this, it is sad but this one really hits.
+over9000713 Ahh. I'm sorry for your loss by the way, I mentioned Wolfsong because it left me drowning in my own tears and emotionally damaged afterwards. But yeah, I halfway know how you feel. One of our cats got mauled by a dog a few years back, and I was little at the time so it hit me hard. Again, I'm sorry for your loss
It was for the best, no more struggling with being old.
I guess these two animations relate to slightly different things, such as with mine she went peacefully like the deer and I didn't want to have it happen like the main character didn't want to.. but it had to happen in the end.
I'm sorry for your loss.
+over9000713 Thankyou. And in the end I think almost everyone who watched this can agree that it was a beautiful animation, story, and everything about it was awesome. (using the dictionary definition with awesome)
I don't know why I watch this every time again and again. Its so sad too!!!!!
WolfLoverx Frazil meeee toooo😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
WolfLoverx i almost cryed when the deer died😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😵😵😵😵😵😱
WolfLoverx same!!
Cheyanna Orr why did the deer wanna die :(
Because it was time
Y the hell I suddenly began to cry at the end when he hugged her
Death experienced the loss .... more personal this time than just his "job."
Excuse me while i cry in the corner for 20 minutes.
+Enzo same lol
This was so amazing. Loved it. Great work.
:,(
+Rita .Sassatelli (Principessa) I thought it was great too
+Lost in My thoughts T^T
agreed but it was sad
I agree but I'm so sad such a good video but it was so sad😀😀😭😭😭😭😭
as a person who has been face to face with death, it now has a new meaning to me. This was beautiful. I lack the words to describe the feelings...
So many emotions in one little film
I didn't sub to this channel for tears.
that vid make me cry
I cried at the end. This was truly the most amazing animation I've seen yet, keep up the amazing work!
Death: Dear diary, today I found an interesting creature. I wanted to end it's life until I saw how beautiful her family was. She was not as scared as the other animals I apprehend, she will be a great acquaintance.
Dear Diary, I have not yet ended this creature's life. I feel pity upon it once I will, but not yet. The creature told me interesting stories, she is a great friend to have. I shall end her life soon, but not yet.
Dear diary, God has wished that I end this creature's life. I had refused, I guess my job could end but I do love the creature. she is my friend. my only friend.
Dear diary, I hate myself today. if only I could touch and kill myself. I had ended the creature's life. She I sister herself, we had great moments together. I shall never forget the shimmer in her eyes the last moment I gazed in it. I shall never forget the tear I shed upon ending her life. She had a great family. I had a great friend. My only friend.
she insisted herslef**
bruh..
Deep
dude..
Death has a diary HA HA
Okay so yes the deer's family did leave her but that was because she was too weak to go with them, if you watch the video you'll see the deer getting slower over time because she's getting weaker. Also the deer did not commit suicide, but rather she accepted death.
Also i think death needs a hug.
I can't stop crying! The music, the pacing, the animation and the storyline was absolutly beautiful!
I'm not crying I just caught something in my eyes
*throws hotcats* I'm not hungry anymore...
+Supreme Catz Me neither:c
+Undertrash Frisk *places next to lesser dog*
awwwwwwaw
If you guys didn't notice that he had spent many months with that deer and her family. She knew death was around her and had accepted it. he kept her safe and she gave his existence meaning. At the end when her family hops off you can clearly see she can no longer go on let alone stand because at that very moment she knows she ending with or with out deaths help. That's when she turns to confront her protector and friend. He wanted nothing but to let her live her life but she knowing she was at her end accepted his gift. with a kiss it started and with a hung it ended. Death tried hes hardest to keep her alive but time wore her down.
I haven't cried in forever. that take pulls at ones heart strings.
The love the portrayal of death as a singular entity. Showing how death longs for companionship but it can never be...
That's why it reminded me of the Death's portrayal in Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief". Only there, of course, human beings were shown, but Death was alone, too. Anyways, I thought of that as soon as I watch the clip to the end.
I felt my heart break. This film was so depressing yet so sweet, I love it so much 😭
Holy tears. I found this on Facebook and couldnt stop watching. Death appears to have this innocent love for life. The deer stared death in the face in her youth and decided to keep living. Years later her body begins to fail her and the simple pleasures of life become difficult and she will inevitably be a burden to her family so she left on her own terms with no fear. And Death carries on to observe the life that it is missing.
Fuck that was sad ;-;
But beatiful too ;-;
Sztefa001 eeyup
S
Sztefa001 ikr
OMG it is the MOST beautiful and sad life that I ever seen
Sztefa001 same
Lovely. If it were real, Death would be the most lonly being in existence. Everything it touches, dies!
Oh god here come the tears-
This was so beautiful, It felt good to cry at the end of this.
Thank you Marsha for this beautiful work.
1:24
When He Realize That He Only Has 4 Fingers..
nice laughing gas after the tear jerking vid
lok
lol
That moment you realize you only have 4 fingers XD
+Stitchydaflutter +Anime Senpai 😂
why? I'm crying 😢 why all the good animations and story's, have to be so sad
Why did I cry so much?I'm so emotional, It was so beautiful....
death has 4 fingers.
Who cares
+little angel butterfly Uh, I have seen way meaner things said. Also who really does care if Death has ``4 fingers``. Just think before you speak. This was a wonderful animation, so who really does care if Death has four fingers? Not trying to seem ``rude`` or anything..
i am sorry (i am the same person)
shiny umbreon badass
Its fine..
thank you
yo i did not get my parent's permission to go on this feels trip
This made me cry,but is such a beautiful way to show how life&death work.
I think the doe knew it was her time. She knew what would happen. She was ready.
That's an interesting thought, since most animals have been know to sense death, maybe they can even see it.
How could Death possibly be so adorab- ...aannd now I'm crying.
Excuse me, my mother did not sign the permission slip for this feels trip.
OMG I THINK THERE IS A NEW OCEAN OR RIVER ABOUT TO ENTER THE WORLD BECAUSE IM CRYING SO MUSH! ANYONE HAVE A TISSUE!!!!!
Much*
oh my
TISSUES TISSUES FOR 10$ A POP
I agree
U DONT NEED TISSUE!
U NEED A SHIP!
I've read several other comments regarding the same emotions, but this video touches me so deeply. The first few times I've viewed it there was a great sadness inside of my heart. I've not cried to an animation in so long.
2:08
*DO NOT TOUCH THE FUCKING DEER* :'T
Ikr
Moonlit Music
I CrY eVrYtIm :'T
+oriana garrido me too
+oriana garrido me too
+oriana garrido don't touch my dear
I find it interesting and inventive that Death seems to have a mixture of traits visually, having both human and various animal-like features, such as the swimming motion when moving and the way Death laid down. It implies this is also Death in his younger age, as his form seems to be as fluid and will change as he needs it to, making it all the more saddening at the end.
I can't describe how much I love this
I watch it over and over again
... Every day..
I was very surprised, where do you watch it in full??
I've watched this about 15 times. I don't cry when I watch it but it actually hurts at the end. This hits me hard.
When will he find Life?...
in the eyes of the beings he loves, as he watches them live and in the end has to help them die.
He found life. he sees it everyday. The life was that deer, her family, those flowers, the rabbit.
Dashichan16 ya now she is in peace
What a beautiful way to portray the meaning of life, and the significance of death. I'm truly touched.
I not crying, I swear! Someone's just... Cutting onions!
+Coeyn Choi perhaps you are simply sweating......from your eyes
So sad I am nearly crying but still 10/10
I literally had to pause this video twice and watch something else. This was beautiful and heart breaking
I AM BAD I AM EVIL BUT...
WHAT ARE THESE TEARS!? MY EYES!!!! THEY ARE BETRAYING ME
HELP ME THEY STING IN MY EYES!
Ryuka Alice
SAMEEE, SOMEONE LIT A MATCH AND THREW IT AT MY EYES, THEN THEM THREW ONIONS AT MY FACE
Oh that's just the anthrax
Oh god, that just... wow, right in the feels.
"There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely."
"Why was it lonely?"
"All things must meet this man, so they shunned him."
Oh, my gosh...this TOTALLY blew me away!
Am I the only one to note that this isn't 3D Animation?
And
The title is CGI 3D Animated Short
No... It bothers me more than anything else in the short :I
no you are not the only one
+Resistant396 um no
I bet Death didn't feel like being... 'alive' anymore after all that. In all seriousness though - what a very beautiful film!
WTF! I just cried out of the sudden. This was very well made. Shows death is not evil. Death has a heart too.
death is impartial. death comes for everyone alike.
Life is constantly giving gifts to death.... which they keep forever
Wesley Bradshaw that's to damn deep. Where did you hear this?
Wesley Bradshaw I think that they shouldn't give death gifts especially if they're wolves and you see my channel
Isn’t it death give life gifts?
don't u love this? it was the most sad and extremely beautiful thing I could ever even see... I was crying my life out
This movie gut punched me in the feels.
This is my forth time watching this through, but it still gets me every time. Im a sucker when it comes to animals
😢😢yes this is truly Beautiful💞...Death has a heart💞
The end made me cry it is to beuatiful
+FurGames so true
Mom stop chopping the onions! Please! =-=
blame the onions
Manny people say that death is the reason your loved one is gone. The reason to your pain... To the dead ones, and the reason to the alive ones. Death sounds absolutely horrible, or is it..? In the eyes of Manny humans they see death as the reason your heart aches, what keeps you up at night, your fear... Well, I'm here to tell you that death is your savior. Unlike in the animation, death ends your life with a cause, either from natural pain, or pain caused from germs. (Sicknesses) death watches you as you perish, he/she waits until your body can't take anymore. Then he/ she sends you into a never ending sleep. Imagine this situation without death... Pain, pain, pain. That's all you would ever feel without death. Think about it, death puts you out of your pain, and watches you peacefully live amongst heaven. How would you feel if you visited your friend at the hospital every week, they are to hurt to speak, they can only stare at you with twitching eyes, Eventually you leave, you leave your friend in pain. Death is a beautiful thing, your mistake is the cause, and death is the affect. EVERYONE STAY SAFE PLEASE AND DON'T GET INTO TROUBLE!!!
This is all only true if there's no such thing as an afterlife. If there is one (specifically a Hell), death does just lead to eternal pain anyway.
Jascha Bull I think there will be an after-life because where will all the souls go? And you see, God is an Angel, Angels are the Heaven. God Is real, I believe in him. He Scarfaced for us. He saved us. So there will be an after-life. Don't worry. :)
I feel like the doe taught him not only that Death is apart of life but to respect life. Before he was just kind of taking lives, never really got to know them or even look them in the eye. But she showed him her whole life so he would not only respect the lives he was talking but also feel for them too.
beautiful and sad all rolled into one
why is NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL THE MUSIC IS
That is the proof! Death has a bigger heart than most of the living.
+Meat Boy
Hey, cool picture! I like that style. :)
Silly lil boy death can't have a heart because it isn't an organism
omg I cried so much at the end of this. Very touching :')
+forevertiger1191 'touching' haha... ha! no pun intended?
+forevertiger1191 Reminds me a lot of anime Hotarubi no Mori E.
+maxsiehier really wasn't going for a pun just it was really sad
forevertiger1191 that's true! this one is really really good
+forevertiger1191 I cried a lot to at the end of this
It's so beautiful and sad...I really like how death is portrayed to seem more like a child than as this ghoul with a sickle. There's an innocence about it. There's no judgement. It's just that death comes for us all...for us all.
Why is this not "Award Winning"? I see a lot of other well animated short films get that title, but they usually have a really poorly done story line. Yet this one is well animated AND has a phenomenal story line to it.
I broke the replay button i replayed it so many times i cried a waterfall of tears when i watched this.... each time a new waterfall of tears........ it was so sad and heartbreaking to see the doe die!!!!
This made me rethink life, this also gave my depression some depression
I thought it was able to touch the deer for a second, but then it started to die...
wow i love Death's design and the way it moves.
im literally crying! why?! because life is so precious and short only to be blown out like a dwindeling flame..
It's okay, I didn't need my heart or anything.
Wonderful short. Probably my favorite, as of right now. So beautiful and sad.
Beautiful and sad all at once. wonderful art
YES! 😭and 😊 at the same time
The moment the doe opens her eyes and they embrace is where i tear up.
this is really good. and I'm crying now
holy wow this is movie quality work right here
I have never been moved to tears so fast... they just wont stop. A truly beautiful work, so moving. I loved it.
WAAAAAAAAY better love story than twilight
this short is beautiful ♥
the soundtrack just makes this so much more meaningful
Am I the only one who ships it
No
They are an animal and a personified version of death. How is that romantic in any way?
This is the reason why there are useless romantic subplots in movies.
+Kevin O'Connell. I just got a different meaning from the animation I can ship it if I want to because I have all the right to don't be so insulting to peoples thoughts and opinions it's rather rude. If you have nothing nice to say don't bother saying anything at all. I found it romantic in some way when death met the deer and when the deer died that is why I shipped it You are not me and you will NEVER be me which is why you can't possibly understand why I ship it I don't give a damn what you have to say about the way I ship things because it is going to do nothing and it wont change the fact that I still ship it. the animation was lovely and me happening to be an artist I had a different interpretation of the animation. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
+Emmaline Horner I don't think I was being insulting. And it's not really meant to be negative. It's just an observation. I am not sure why you are getting so upset.
+Kevin O'Connell my apologizes I thought you were trying to be rude
