    I think the key moment is when she realizes she can't get her love back. Even if she completes the revenge, it's all in vain. Interestingly, this message transcends the original meaning of the animation. All of us who have gone through a loss, be it grief or a breakup, know the emptiness of wanting to go back to a past that no longer exists. Part of the healing process is letting go.
    Edit: wow, this blow up! Much love from Brazil ♥

    This is one of the best shorts I have seen in a long time, animated or otherwise. It perfectly portrayed her pain. And to see her nearly slip into becoming a monster only to pull herself back from the brink was brilliantly presented.

    A detail lots of people have missed is that a 1:01 it’s actually written that it was at first a *robbery that escalated to a murder* that happened in her house. This increase the impact when you realize she also tried to steal fuel and killed someone in the process. She truly turned like her own monster.

    just noticed this, but i love how her flashbacks at first are like her being disassociated from her own body. she’s not seeing it exactly how she saw it while it happened, she’s watching as a third person, but then when she realizes the mistakes she had just made, her flashbacks are seen in first person. she’s back in her own body, seeing through her own eyes.

      I know what you mean..After 3 abusive relationships, I fought tooth and nail to never be like that..to always help others and never allow who I'm friends with or in a relationship with feel like I did. Sometimes..it happens without us realising..and all that prior abuse doesn't hurt quite as much as being told that's what you are. Even at almost 7 years in a healthy relationship, there are things I can't let go of..so you're not alone 💗🤍💗 *takes your hand, placing my other hand on top with a smile* I'm sure you're doing so much better now..and even if you aren't, it's okay ♡ that time will come. With a little help, you'll only hold onto the lessons and not the thoughts and behaviours, and will grow to be someone even more strong and beautiful! We're not like them. We never will be. And if it happens without you realising, always have even just one person you trust to always tell you the truth ♡. You've got this 🥺💗🤍💗🫂🫂🫂

    To me, the most emotional part was her, looking at what she had done at the end. The way she just kneels down. The gas station owner probably had someone who loved him too. And she inflicted the same pain on his loved one.
    I rewatched it and one awesome detail was that there's a no smoking sign, right above his head as he's looking at her. At first I thought he kind of caused this on himself but she literally attacks him with a sharp object.

    • @sakuraice22
      @sakuraice22 Рік тому +221

      I think they do it because its easier to notice and gives a scarier vibe? which in that case is honestly just bs because we have it in our brains (other animals too) to be aprehensive/scared of dilated pupils since it's a sign of adrenaline, and most predatory animals will have a rush of adrenaline before attacking;
      In the cats case their pupils dilate before they pounce because of how they're shaped, the slit pupils make it easier for the cat to foccus on a single object but in order to make a successful attack they dilate their pupils to let in more light and take in their surroundings to make an escape/chase route.
      It really bugs me when they make the pupils shrink during a moment of shock, fear or anger because it doesn't make any sense, but since they've been doing it for so long we always expect to see it in films/art.

I currently can't stop repeating this scene and i'm sure gonna have to drink _gallons_ of water from the dehydration i'm gonna go through after crying this hard-
    Edit: Even hours after watching this short, i can't stop thinking about this exact scene; My brain is treating it as an unsolved task, the cat did not deserve to die, Cathy and her husband deserved to live a happily ever after, they deserved the world, and that Doberman took it away from them with no right to do so.
    I know not every story has a happy ending, and i know this came out 2 years ago already, but my brain seriously, _seriously_ needs to see them living that happily ever after they so rightfully owned.

    My favorite part had to be when she looked at herself in the mirror and saw the eyes of the killer. It was so relatable in a way that sometimes when you’re fueled with rage you scare yourself by realizing you look exactly like the person who hurt you the most and it’s the worst. I love how the animators left a few seconds out for that scene for her just to be staring at herself because it’s the slowest thing in the world sometimes.

    A lot of people are mentioning how they love a lot of the details, but I can't express how much I love the detail with the color choice. The present uses darker shades, and more blue hues, while everything in the past uses lighter shades and more soft orange hues, which have different connotations that are normally underutilized. She sees the past so warmly and fondly, while the present is much colder and moodier, and the visuals make that explicitly clear just in color choice alone.

      It makes me think of Katara in Avatar: The Last Airbender, in the episode where she confronts the soldier who murdered her mother. Katara was about to murder the man to get revenge, but she decides not to at the last possible second; later, she comments, "I don't know if it's because I'm too weak to do it, or strong enough not to." Sometimes it's difficult to know true meanings within our thoughts and emotions.

    No one would've known it was her, she was in a rural forest. The only surveillance cameras nearby were likely in the gas station, which was blown up, not to mention the destroyed evidence.
    This shows how she made a true difference from the killer, who may have been in a similar situation, creating an endless loop of hateful revenge. By accepting what has already happened, and taking responsibility for her actions, she ended the loop all right then and there.
    This shows how owning up to your mistakes may be hard, but well worth it. Better than to lie, cheat, steal, and run your whole entire life to cover up your past wrongs.

      Я не согласен с тем, что она до конца признала свою ошибку. Точнее, осознала весь её ужас, но вот хватит ли у неё силы воли решиться это кому-то рассказать? Я думаю нет. Вот например, задай себе вопрос, что она скажет диспетчеру на том конце провода? Что она убийство совершила? Поджёг? Украла оттуда ещё что-то? Что она скажет? Ничего... Этот звонок был скорее всего для неё психологическим пиком в данной ситуации. Они не зря не добавили её диалога в конце. Я более чем уверен в том, что она не слова ему не скажет и будет тупо молчать в трубку, ну а в конечном итоге диспетчер её таки и бросит, подумая, что дети балуются или ложный звонок был . Ну ок, даже если она и сможет что-то сказать, каким-то чудесным образом, не думаю, что это будет что-то вменяемое из-за, опять же, психологического напряжения. Собрать волю в кулак и позвонить очень сложно ей было, а уж, уверяю, ещё тяжелее сказать правду. Ну хорошо, даже если она не скажет всю(именно выделю это слово ВСЮ) правду и вызовет полицию, скорую, пожарников, приедут все, то наврятли звук их сирен придаст ей смелости и решительности остаться там. Поэтому, я считаю, самым логичным для неё в тот момент будет уехать, а затем, в мучениях, гонениях, ошибках, все-таки действительно решиться сознаться, прийти в полицию и признаться в преступлении. Ей за это будет грозить нормальный такой срок, а никто сразу после преступления не признается в содеянном, такова уж психология.

    I like the question that proposes: when it stops being justice and starts being vengeance?
    Justice is a very tricky concept for people, because it's not about us as individuals but about society order. And by that, it would never adjust to anyone completely.
    So what she's doing isn't searching for the murdered, she's hunting them down; she wants to inflict a pain similar to hers. It's sad because she could choose moving on for good, asking herself "why this type of things happend today?", but instead she choose "why did you do this to *me*?"
    And where does that lead her? She just killed someone that didn't have anything against her, that in any other situation would be a come and go talk and that's it. But now she's this monster born from a ghost of her past self and it's too late to regret it. She has to live with what she had done, I hope she can do that

  • @Kitten_Cacophony
    @Kitten_Cacophony 2 роки тому +901

    I love the eyes of all of the characters in this, especially of the main character. The way her eyes twinkle in the flashbacks, how they reflect the fire when she wakes up, how they dilate when she attacked the shopkeep with the broken bottle or when she found the gas can when she woke from the explosion, they shimmer and glisten when she cries and you can tell she can't see the phone's keypad through her tears because they appear murky, it's so good! Plus the animation for any liquid is just mesmerizing, be it petrol, blood, or tears!
    I forgot to mention sound design, especially in the final scenes. Papers rustling, water/blood dripping, cool and sharp winds on a winter's night, the quiet yet ever-present hum of the car's engine, the crackling of fire off in the distance... Putting the music on hold and surrounding the audience in ambiance really grounds the animation.

    At 5:56, the way her eyes line up with the killer's in the wanted poster is such an incredible detail. I had to rewatch to notice since the scene is rather quick, but it truly exemplifies how her mindset has become one and the same with the person she despises enough to attempt to murder. Her shock afterwards too, as if she's not seeing herself but the monster she swore to end the life of. The shot perfectly demonstrates the genuine fear she has for her own reflection, and how changed she has become.

She became what she was so desperately seeking to destroy, and that's heartbreaking.

    I could write an essay about why this is a genuine masterpiece. Words cannot fully express how impressed and in love with this work of art I am. Everything about it is perfect, and because I can’t find a way to email the creators, and I’ll do my best to express why I believe that in this comment.
    Firstly, calling the visuals stunning would be doing them a disservice. They are breathtaking. The lighting is fantastic. The chilling moonlight, the warm overlay of the memories, and the smoldering glow of the flames are all perfectly used and visualized. I adore the detail that was put into the protagonist’s eyes. I love how they reflect her heart; soft and sunny when she’s herself, burning and transfixed when she’s become consumed by the desperation to complete her quest for vengeance. I love how the blood, her blood, looks…real. Everything else, even the other liquids, in this film are cartoonish. But, the blood is different, the way it looks and moves feels creepily real. Breathtaking.
    But, the art isn’t the only thing about this film that makes is a masterpiece. The story is fantastic. The concept of vengeance for a loved one isn’t unique, but the way this film makes it feel otherwise is a testament to the skill of the writers. I love how we are shown fragments of memories involving our protagonist and her husband, and I love how we are told it somewhat chronologically. We get to see them meet, their fondness grow, and their happy marriage. The desperation and drive the protagonist shows in her quest is scarily real. It’s both frightening and heartbreaking to watch her become the very monster she wishes to destroy; a cruel, ironic, twist of fate. A tale of good intention led astray.
    The audio is genuinely impeccable. The music and sounds aren’t anything special on their own, but the way they are used in the film gives them so much impact and weight. The crackling flames complimented by the dark synthesizer. The melancholic tune that floats in the air as the protagonist reaches for the bottle. However, where the sound direction goes from amazing to fucking outstanding is where there is little to no audio. Proving that less is more, the scene where our desperate housewife attacks the gas station owner doesn’t have dramatic music, heavy breathing, or screams. Just the rapid steps of the protagonist’s feet as she charges silently, murderous intent burning in her eyes. Whether the lack of dialogue was out if necessity or a stylistic choice, I think it worked to the film’s advantage. We don’t need a narrator or the protagonist to tell us she’s angry, sad, and desperate. We can see it in the stress lines on her face, in her vulnerable-yet-determined eyes, in her defensive, glaring posture. She steals and even kills out of desperation. We don’t need a narrator to tell us that, the film just shows us.
    Finally, I want to call attention to one scene. The sobbing scene. That scene contains, without exaggeration, the most raw emotions I’ve ever seen in an animated film. Her tears were absolutely heartbreaking, and the fact that her crying was the thing to break the dialogueless silence of the film gave it so much more weight. I genuinely cried. I cried with her. That scene broke my heart. And, I love it.
    Anyways, that’s the end of my love letter. This film ripped my heart in half and I love every second of it. I have recommended it to all of my friends, and I hope to see more of your work in the future!

    These comments are all correct, but they don’t really touch on just how wordlessly amazing this is on your first initial viewing. It’s absolutely horrifying and wonderful in all sorts of ways. I was just reading the comments as everything unfolded and when the gas station exploded, I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Her wide eyed, manic look as she messily poured the gas into her car and shakily put the keys in the ignition. There was no hesitation in it, she just saw that she still had gas, then took the opportunity to take off and was only brought back to reality when she finally saw her own desperation through the rear view mirror. Then it goes through the flashback sequences through her eyes and we see her lover’s face and then you don’t even realize you’re crying until she does because you had froze and went into autopilot just trying to watch what happens next just as she goes into autopilot and tries to get into her car.
    There are no words to describe just how amazing this piece of work is. Everything will be an understatement.

    I know that a lot of people feel sad at the climax when she bursts into tears, but as someone who regularly bottles up their emotions, that part was incredibly well done and amazing to watch. You can feel the catharsis, the weeks or maybe even months of grief pushed down behind blind rage, all coming back and hitting her at once.
    She is just now confronting the fact that he is gone, and there's nothing she can do to bring him back.

    this was one of the most heart-breaking, emotional and well-thought out stories I've ever seen. nothing has filled me with a feeling of remorseful empathy and depressive dread as the ending of this did.

    The way they didn’t speak the whole time really added emotion to it. This short made me cry. Really nicely animated.

    This is incredible! It’s such a simple story but there’s so much emotion conveyed through the animation. Not to mention the amount of work put into the background art, effects, and sound design. It’s just WOW
    Also I really love the Easter egg of all the production members having little cameos in the film! I didn’t expect that but it was such a good surprise

      Killedthecat productions is the studio name, and judging by this being the one video on their channel I can imagine they are going places. I hope so, this video is phenomenal in every sense of the word.
