"I can do no wrong, for i do not know what it is." This line evokes the perfect feeling of cosmic horror. An unknowable being causing pain and fear and death with no clear goal or outward malice. Just acting within its own nature.
no, it is acting in accordance with GOD, god gave it the power to not feel empathy. .. knowing what is wrong is not a reason to not feel empathy of others. knowing what is good is , he knows what is good but rejects it. THUS everything he does is distorted or backwards.... because he cant discern what is GOOD or EVIL , so evil is good and good is evil in it sight thus replacing empathy with a god complex where it acts upon anything UNGODLY
@@lookwaticando909Don't know if I'd say God gave Satan the power to not feel empathy. Lucifer was the highest angel created, but because of his sin he was cast out and called Satan (adversary). Satan rebels against God and tries to get people to turn away from God. If God has empathy, then Satan won't because he fights against God.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlahexactly. This character saying he does not know what wrong is is actually not biblically accurate. The real life Satan knows exactly what he is doing and also the scene where the little people are fighting over things, he says he hates that sound but in reality he’s the one that wants it.
Mark Twain had something of a post-Christian view of Christianity, even though he was brought up in it like most Americans at the time. He questioned the legitimacy of the religious doctrine since cruelty and suffering were so ubiquitous in the world.
be quiet
I think the most freaky thing here is how Satan goes from comforting and almost pleasant to threatening so quickly. He kindly invites them in, he offers the kids their favorite fruit, he smiles and lets them join him when they ask. He seems so friendly and inviting, even if strange. After bringing the people to life, his behavior changes. He doesn't think twice before squashing the people fighting over the bull. He destroys the entire tiny town with no remorse, simply saying that the kids need to stay out of danger's way. He goes from making himself seem safe and friendly to clearly showing that he's not. He's simultaneously so human and familiar, yet inhuman and alien. It's a perfect example of the uncanny valley, and honestly I couldn't think of a more fitting way to depict Satan
to be honest i thibk thats the coolest part. he's technically not changing his behaviour, he never changes who he is for he has no moral code. To him good and evil doesn't exist for like he said "I can do no wrong, for I don't know what it is." There's no real emotion behind any of his acts. They are just a depection so we as the audience can understand better what his thought process is. Since after all we are humans, we need to see emotions to understand.
If you've read the story from which this animation was inspired by. One of the best examples the story gives is like how we see bricks. We don't think of them as emotional real creatures, when we talk about them we don't relate any emotions to them, they're.just bricks, if one breaks we can make another. Same though process goes on is Satan''s mind, humans are just creatures that you can remake if they die, their emotions don't matter to him for he doesnt have any, for they arent real outside of the human mind.
@@josueamaya3390if it can do no wrong, why did it have to explain itself before anyone even said anything about what it did? Because it know what it did is wrong and it has to justify itself. The sentence it even said is contradictory, how did it know what’s morally wrong? You can see it observing the village and it is disgusted by human activity, if it didn’t have morals, why was it mad that we were fighting each other?
Morality is a creation of humanity, a tool used to control how humans behave. its not that they don't know what morality is, it's just beneath them to understand. humanity to them is as trivial as a particle of dust, easily wiped away if it gets in your eye.@@drewpaupanekis4710
@@happylittletrees2398 Yep, if you can’t tell the difference between right and wrong, sinning becomes a whole lot easier
He was disgusted by the villagers greed over the cow. Yet he knows no right from wrong? If that is so, why is he disgusted? It's because God made humanity on a higher level than him, we are made in the image of God, which made him profusely jealous. So he looks at every flaw with judgment. Hence why he encourages sin to use us against God. His name wasn't Satan. He became Satan. Satan is a representation of everything disgraceful.

I just noticed how he says "we can make more of them." And then turns slightly TOWARDS the camera, before saying "if we need them"
implying that people are disposable, just like governments treat them
its crazy just how "lore accurate" this version of satan feels
Read the bible aside from the constant unending lies its far from accurate
Anyhting is accurate really, because Bible is not accurate about Satan, except for Ehtiopian Bible who has the book of Enoch, this one actually tells of Satan and in this case is unnacurate.
@@Pedrosa2541Mark twain Satan is not The Satan as in the fallen angel, its just a relative of him. In the story all angels have divine powers and lack morality although they understand how it works for humans. Its not biblically accurate cause the whole thing its just a metaphore about the paradoxes within morality and the relative sense of reality
Satan himself is a morally subjective being. This means he can depict himself in any fashion. Notice Satan offers Jesus the entire world if Jesus bowed down to him- this implies Satan rules the physical world and does not hold a set dogma opposed to Yahweh. The best way to describe Satan is twisted.
Satan wants to force the humans on Earth to act a certain way. He does this using religion and government. He instills unnatural customs such as a king who rules others, despite everyone being equal and the same.
The creatures on this island are created in the image of GOD, but they are bound by their physical world. They are bound by language. They are bound by time/health, and how they perceive their world.
One danger religion has introduced to the world is Good vs Evil. GOD is everything/infinite however cannot be explained with words, like love.
Once you accept everyone is perfect like a leaf is perfect or a river is perfect or the clouds are perfect, you realize this is just an experience, one you should enjoy.
Just like the clay figures, we are eternal beings who are experiencing time. Their souls simply need a body with energy (Satan used energy to bring clay to life)
Once their bodies are dead, the energy is recycled just like the body. Idk what happens with the souls.
From my viewpoint, this is amazing and it actually makes me very curious about everyone involved in the making of this, imagine being able to learn what they think of the experience.
Fun Fact: This is the only Claymation movie made completely out of clay.
Even the background in the final scene is beautifully sculpted.

What’s your point
@@Rodrigo-is1hw it adapts itself to those it speaks to
Manipulating them into making them think he's like them
Deception.
That's exactly what I thought. A person with very high cheekbones makes himself look attractive. Did you notice the bemused if not sarcastic smile he had on his face when the boy asked him how he grew the plants? It's very subtle but from that expression it's clear he thinks the humans are incredibly stupid.
As an animator, this is probably one of my favorite depictions of Satan in media. The idea that he’s this ever-changing monster and deceiver is incredible.
I wouldn't say he's much of a deceiver here. He seems to be pretty upfront about the intentions of his coldness and cruelty.
It is not Satan, it is more like Demiurg.
Creator that is indifferent to his creation.
@@dogzilla0578 lies do not always need to be blatant. The phrase “even the devil can quote the Bible exists for a reason” he only needs to present the truth in a light he likes. It’s the same way people in real life get polarized and how extremism forms. It’s not by lies but by truths that hook into people, tell them a small string of truths that lead them down a false path and people will destroy each other. Humanity is arrogant, greedy and selfish, these are all true but that’s not the full truth and it’s what he can use to puppeteer hate.
It's not Satan though, it is his nephew and his namesake. The book is fantastic, and this animation does it justice but also bastardizes much of its tone and message for the sake of drama and brevity. And he doesn't deceive anyone, he really is 100% honest through the whole story, just beyond any of the characters' understanding
I must agree with you, it is the most interesting depiction in animation. although was he a deceiver? he kept it 100 w. the kids regarding humanity and how we go about our actions, he also explained that he is an angel, therefore a creature of being, therefore 'good' or 'bad' does not apply to it, its just existing. he was honest, polite and giving despite his personal view. interesting, eh? also no one is going point out he was 'the creator' in this skit, hmmm

We're here judging this guy for the kind of thing we do when playing The Sims.
Except Sims don't have consciousness
@@psilopsychicah yes but the clay figures do.
@@manhathaway Yes he breathed life into them, that was the point
@@psilopsychic i personally believe as the god controlling my universe of the sims that I also breathe life, autonomy, and sin into them.
@@manhathaway It'll never be true that your sims are actual conscious beings and you should understand that unless you're the most articulate 10 year old ever. The implication is that the satan character actually inserted consciousness into the clay figures. Like a pinocchio character.
I like how he says "I can do no wrong, for I don't know what it is." completely unprompted after killing the clay people, but before any of the kids spoke up about it. If he didn't know what it was, he wouldn't have said anything about it.
Damn, that's actually a really good point
This portrayal of the character is misleading because in the book he's just explains his origin and how he is 16,000 years of age, and how he, as an angel, doesn't have sin within him. Right or wrong are meaningless human concepts that do not apply to him. He just sees human beings the same as fruit or clay. The moral code is just a human characteristic that has no meaning in the universe where he habitates. As soon he's interrupted by the tiny people, he kills them with indifference to continue talking, because for him, it's just like turning the volume down on a speaker. The killing has no meaning or effect on him or his explanation. In the book, he's not annoyed by them.
However, the problem with this character is that he's from an incomplete story by Mark Twain, so, if you read the book, you'll notice that sometimes it's not the character of Satan speaking but just him ranting about how he saw human life, and going back to the character afterward. This animation mixes that.
He's a liar. In fact, he-she-it is the "king of lies". It's the lack of accountability that is truly terrifying. It is "aware" but totally does not accept any responsibility... no matter what role "he" plays... which means he can literally do anything with absolutely no remorse. 😬

In scenes this brutal, you’d usually hear the people scream or at least talk. But this is through Satan’s perspective. And in that perspective, our words mean nothing, our screams of terror are just us babbling incoherently. We are just nuisances in the eyes of Satan.
makes sense since we are not his creation, he is an immortal being that couldn't understand why God found favor in us and became jealous over it.
"We'll have a storm now, and an earthquake if you'd like" That sounded so comforting yet so menacing at the same time

Honestly, I like to imagine that the Satan in the movie, is the actual Satan. In the book, he is described as a boy, a human looking boy, and I remember he’s described looking like an angel. The Satan in the movie looks imposing, and has this eerie presence to him, while in the book the characters feel calm around him. Also in the book, Satan crushes the clay people with his hands while still talking to the main trio, and doesn’t look away form them. In the movie, he deliberately squashes the clay people, and makes them suffer beyond belief. And sure, in depictions of the Bible, Satan is described being as looking human, and being beautiful, but I’m sure as a ruler of an entire realm, and having odd abilities, I’m sure Satan is just taking a different form.
Notice how Satan is bound to the earth, and is clad in armor like a fallen angel...
And the fact that he is voiced by both a man and a woman at the same time, plus his mask being able to turn into whatever or whoever he wants, while simultaneously there being nothing behind said mask. Just darkness.
A pretty cool depiction of the devil tbh
His armor is empty because he doesn't have a body. Only humans were given bodies.
In the book, the Devil was this angel's uncle, and the angel took on a child's form.
This character wouldn't work as the devil. The character of the devil knows what wrong is, but this angel doesn't.

Twain's Satan is approximately how I imagine any angel, or any deity, to be. Elegantly scornful to humans, ignorant of what we think of as "good" and "evil", and prefering endless, immaterial Nothingness to anything material.
For an angel like Satan, nothingness is bliss, for it cannot remind him of whom he has forsaken, or so he thinks. The presence of humans, of those kids, is like a light that reminds him that the darkness is not bliss, but a bane of his own creation. It could be said that darkness is not that which God creates when you turn from God, it is a choice you make to hide from God, and yourself.

@@SteelyEyedMissileDan wasn't this movie rated G and this scene was more of out of place with the rest of the film in tone
As Don Bluth once proclaimed: "[If] you don’t show the darkness, you don’t appreciate the light. If it weren’t for December no one would appreciate May. It’s just important that you see both sides of that. As far as a happy ending…when you walk out of the theatre there’s [got to be] something that you have that you get to take home. What did it teach me? Am I a better person for having watched it?" I think that's what the person who created this might believe as well.
what i found more disturbing wasn't the massacre of everyone in the village, rather the end where Satan makes the island slowly disappear while talking about life. it's deeper and creepier than a catastrophe destroying everyone
Also, i love how the writers depicted Satan in this movie. instead of some monster that banishes people to hell and tortures people in a dimension he rules over, he is a lonely being that spends eternity analyzing species and animals, like mankind. He creates life and simulates it, only to be let down by the pitiful human race and the death humanity causes. Then he destroys it and tries again. He spends eternity experimenting, building and breaking using his power. A theory for a story for this depiction could be that God sent Satan to this place to teach him a lesson about life, creation, and ruling a lesser species, and that all things will come to a violent end.
It sounds like you're describing an IA.
Man is not lesser species to satan. And satan has no power of creation, nor is he lonely.
He was disgusted by the villagers greed over the cow. Yet he knows no right from wrong? If that is so, why is he disgusted? It's because God made humanity on a higher level than him, we are made in the image of God, which made him profusely jealous. So he looks at every flaw with judgment. Hence why he encourages sin to use us against God. His name wasn't Satan. He became Satan. Satan is a representation of everything disgraceful.
I like how his existence breaks the 4th wall. It's a claymation, and he plays with balls of clay.
I like the theory more that he secludes himself here out of his own spite and jealousy of the abilities of God and humanity. God can create perfect worlds, and after Satan soiled God’s creation of humanity with original sin, the next best thing he could do after being banished from Heaven was hole himself up in his own plane of existence (meaning that this dark void is probably hell) and try to create his own world and life, maybe to prove himself superior to God. But his jealousy and greed constantly keeps him from succeeding. Even when he makes a functioning kingdom, even when things are going smoothly, his own sinful tainted nature always keeps his creations from reaching heights like humanity and other creations of God have risen to. If it’s not Satan’s own citizens fighting over each other, it’s Satan’s own lack of mercy and low tolerance for the slightest imperfections, which completely contrast God’s merciful philosophy, AND lead Satan to crush his creations under his iron fist, solidifying how he could never reach God’s level of perfection or creativity.
Furthermore is his line “I can do no wrong, for I do not know what it is.” Solidifies his perpetual denial that it’s because of his deceitful and selfish way of life and his disconnection with his own creations and choices, blaming them instead for taking responsibility for what he does
The design for Satan is so bizarre and interesting, i love it.
The fact that it's a clay stop-motion film makes this even more disturbing.
As best I can tell, it's the only film to use 100% claymation.

Satan represents the god of the old testament, Yahweh. He given life to the clay people, and when he seen his unperfect creation he chose to destroy it. "Perhaps a flood." is a direct reference to the story of the flood from the old testament. I don't believe Yahweh to be Satan, in the bible, but in this animation I do think Satan is supposed to be Yahweh.
@@claudiu7555 that may be mark twains religious beliefs are pretty disputed but it seems he was either a Presbyterian or an atheist
@@claudiu7555maybe it's in a way that Satan/Lucifer eternally disrespects God his father, by acting as Yahweh used to be or is perceived as being: somewhat cold, easily angered, heavily expectant and harsh to borderline cruel and impatient yet always has a lesson to be taught via enacting it
Seeing this makes me kind of sad for Mark Twain. If you look into his biography, you find out that all of his children and his wife died long before he did, himself, leaving him very much alone in the world. It definitely jives with his general outlook on humanity as a whole. He seemed to forget that his wife and children were human themselves and died of illness rather than the actions of any one person. It also gives credence to the idea that depression is kind of like a tar pit, it's easier to just let yourself be sucked in. It feeds on itself like a disease because it basically IS one, as scientists now are discovering. Of course, he had every right to be depressed but it's sad that he lived in a time before things like psychology or grief counseling. Poor guy.
The only scary thing about this is how that kid ate those grapes.

@@kingofroses302 no he did eat it. Look closely
Luc Animates001 Eating grapes the right way would probably be very tedious to animate. Claymation takes forever and a day 😂
What gets me the most is the part where Satan adds “...if we need them.” to the end of it’s sentence. It’s not trying to console the children, it truly feels that no wrong was done. These beings weren’t contributing to the Universe, they didn’t matter in Satan’s eyes. It didn’t care about the clay-people’s well being, the only way it would have cared is if they served Satan, which it doesn’t need anybody to do. The only reason Satan created life was to destroy it, to show those suffering how little they mattered.
If you consider Lucifer/Satan/The Devil to be the same entity, it's easy to see that it's because Lucifer's two biggest, chief "sins" are Vanity and Greed (with Pride coming in at a close 2nd/3rd). "He" vied so strongly for Jehova's affections, to the point of wanting to become as great as "Him", in an effort to make "Him" proud; So when humans were created, to Lucifer, it would have appeared that they took over Jehova's affection. Thus, it stands to reason that "He" would hold the humans in contempt.
I agree with satan
@@professorracc.9780 none of us matter. We only give false sentiment to things in order to convince ourselves they matter and to give our life "meaning". When in reality all things that are special to one individual, mean nothing to another. The purpose you give your life, only exists between your ears.

This is art. Kids deserve and need art but we never make it for them any more.
I have never had to closely deal with death in my lifetime. Never lost someone dear. My grandmother is inching close to her passing everyday now and might have a week or two, maybe less. This scene popped up in my recommendations once again and the dreadfull existencialism in it is both terrifying and reasuring. Somehow, every now and then this scene sparks a flame in the back of my brain in the most necessary moments.
I'm in the same boat. Not looking forward to it but it's inevitable
Watch it again after you've dealt with death of someone close and this will feel completely different to you.
The close calls keep me up at night, be grateful you’ve had it relaxed and safe. Nihilism is a B….
It's not so bad. There is existence, and then there is non-existence.

Absolute genius you don't see anymore.

Prediction’s not the right word but yeah it’s really awesome interpretation
Tnx guys
But satan will always be 3:06
Yet, there is a reason.
This isn't a "kids" movie! This is pure brilliance!
The way the face grows in detail when it is being “evil” goes with the saying that the devils in the details. Just something neat.
"People are of no value. We could make more sometime, if we need them."
What an unsettling line from a god-like being.
It also makes sense economically. Value is defined by scarcity, that's what creates demand and offer. Air is of no value because of its abundance (if you try and sell bottles of air, nobody will buy those) but if we ignore that, it's actually invaluable because we need it so much. Value is an interesting concept.
