I love the story. Even though the theme is mainly about weird obsessions and quirks, there’s still love in the mix. Beryl may not like the fact that her son still lives with her, but she loved him to inspire him to love and take care of a pigeon, her husband my not understand why Beryl needs him to do certain things for her art, but he still supports her enough to do them anyway, and Beryl’s sister still makes time to give her little sister advice and reassurance when she needs it, even if she’s working at the same time. I love how it also shows how weird and gross kids can be, and how those traits can still be there in adulthood. I find this short, so funny and creative!♥️

As an autistic who is waiting on a diagnosis at 29, I can't help but feel like I have just watched the struggle of and undiagnosed autistic family try their best to fit into society as best they can. I could be totally wrong, but that is how it came across to me. My father refuses to get a diagnosis and is in denial about his ADHD even though both me and my half sister have it and he is the only parent in common that we have and he has very obvious symptoms. Because of that mentality, I never got any mental health help as a child, even though I really needed it. And watching this made me feel more normal. I am 29, unemployed and in debt, only now doing an animation course because the corporate world after 7 years has done nothing but disappoint. I'm going for it too 💖

For the first part of the film i felt it was about how everyone has there own type of hobby. Then she went on talking about how she both feared and idolized her sister. And then how she felt behind and that her sister wasnt afraid of pushing the limits in her life. Aside the dark childhood her sister had she ended up growing out of the phase. Felt like its saying even if were afraid to go after our passions and get stuck, we shouldnt give up. we could always go for it, we could find something new or hold onto our passion while pursing what we consider accomplishments in our life? In all the film was great, I liked the character development and the message the film was giving.

This is inspiring, motivating. I’m in love with the movement, the gestures, and the rough yet soft sketchiness. I’m so obsessed with the final product trying to make it look “professional”. It drags me down and drowns me in pressure to be better. It isn’t fun. I have lost the passion. I hardly create anything anymore. Always worried about what other people think of my art but you’re right. I need to just go for it. Screw what everyone else thinks. I’m in love with the process. The feeling of the pencil on the paper. The way me wrist and hand moves to manoeuvre to make lines. The smell of new paper of my sketchbook and graphite. I need to get back to that. I need to rediscover why I love art so much and start creating again. Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

honestly, your comment speaks much truth to me. Sometimes i feel like im becoming obsessed with wanting to achieve this level of 'greatness' in all my works, and i get frustrated sometimes when some works dont turn out great. It's comforting knowing that there are other people feel like this, i hope you're doing better now as i'm trying to do so myself. Creating art is just so beautiful, and i realize more and more that you cannot create true, meaningful art without experience and deep passion. Sometimes it helps just thinking about myself as a part of a bigger community, a community of artists who just like us, bring our thoughts to life in paper for all to see. The progress/journey of one is representative of many of our journeys in this community of artists.

that's one of the reasons i love this film so much; i grew up in a semi-rural area, so we had a lot of injured birds, lizards, other small animals, so saving them and funeral processions were a common event. Of course it made me "feel" uncomfortable when the bird was found dead, when the boy executed the cat; but i went through these things before so i understand them, and this is a 'biographical' story, so of course she would have a similar story. The whole point of film is to make you "feel" things, children can handle feeling uncomfortable, alot of adults don't understand that, either because they themselves were so sheltered or some other reason.

@fatcat1414 10 ай бұрын

@@hisenseks It's more than that. There's a difference between saying 'I don't really like this,' 'this makes me uncomfortable,' and 'I don't like this because it makes me uncomfortable, and that's a moral failure of the artist.' The first two are honest interactions with media that recognizes you are different than other people, the third is an attempt to universalize your personal feelings as moral maxims and complain that they're not being appealed to.

@@fatcat1414 But I think it's quite understandable that many people can't handle cruelty in cartoon, for me it says that they have feelings and have emotional reaction.

14:30 After hearing Beverly's talking about her body is 'the part of art', leading Beryl has an idea - by using her husband as a 'moving object'! 🤣🤣🤣

6:00 Continuing with her story about her older sister, Beverly; Beryl describes this to the viewers about her grandmother, who has an obsession for keeping pickled food in jars...

Almost Roald Dahl-esque in a way, very captivating

This is great! I love this as I interpret it - an exploration of absurdity of our lives, mixed in with a healthy critical eye at (ourselves as) artists. The "artspeak" of the interview at the end, capped with "this is some great vodka" was great art satire, I felt. All in all, this was amusingly honest, weirdly comforting, and really engaging to watch. I like the frenetic and sketchy (but complete and thought out) quality of the animation. Nice one to everyone who worked on this!

Everything about this is absolutely phenomenal. The expressive movements paired with the gorgeous watercolor style is so entrancing. It's all so... real. It's hard to explain.

I don't know why, but this reminds me of my family in a sense. Not as extreme with the obsessions thing, but now that i think of it a lot of people in my family have a bunch of things they're obsessed with doing/do very often I think a lot of people in my family are neurodivergent, at least me and my brother are, and i love watching this short because its like a family similar to mine!! (im obsessed with art much like Ber and my brother is obsessed with numbers and lettering btw)
