Check out this well animated and creepy CGI animated film "Francis", Directed by Richard Hickey, and written by Dave Eggers.
The story of "Francis" came about interestingly from famed radio show "This American Life". Broadcaster Ira Glass asked 6 American writers to create a short story about Adventure. One of these stories written by novelist & screenwriter Dave Eggers, it was read on the show to much acclaim and praise., Richard worked with producer Kevin Batten & a team to turn the words into this short. He worked on the film tirelessly & had 40 people work on all elements of the animation. The film has been shown at Cannes Film Festival and Raindance.

The narrator mentioned that the lake is very clean that you could directly drink water from the lake.....Then i saw the girl threw her cigarette. I think the Lake's guardian is mad for polluting the lake. And that's why she wrote in her note "I DID KNOCK FIRST," stating that it was her fault and deserve the punishment.

I already know it's not safe to go boating alone at night. If, somehow, I wound up in that position anyway...I'd head for shore at the first knock, I guess (at least the first one where I believed that I'd really heard something, you know?), but if it was already too late and the boat was being held in place, I'd keep at least one oar AND the lantern in the boat with me. So I could fight for my life when It finally surfaced.

I watched it at school, and there are clues. At the beginning in the bedroom you see him placing down toys on the map. He places down some kind of monster, which might have killed the girl. And in the fish tank you can see something under the boat and it sinks. There are also 3 shadows in the forest that shows it watching her.

I think it has to do with the ciggarette she threw in the water. At the beginning we were told the lake's water was so clean you could drink it straight from the lake. The ciggarette would have been the start of pollution: the 'first knock', maybe. Then whatever was in the water got angry.

My take on the meaning of the story is that the monster wrote "I did knock first" to point out that Francis had put herself into such a vulnerable position (Being out by herself late at night, in the middle of the lake) she couldn't run, even if the monster warned her of his impending attack. Thus his point is she was partly or entirely responsible for what happened to her. In this world there are "monsters" everywhere in many forms. If we are naive and/or careless, we put ourselves at their mercy. And Monsters don't have mercy, otherwise we wouldn't call them monsters.

I love the way the narrator doesn’t change the volume of their voice. It really allows for the silence and music to add to the feeling of being unsettled, but still unsure if anything is going to happen. Edit: Has anyone considered that perhaps the monster wrote the words at the end? The monster could be saying “I knocked, and gave her a chance, but she didn’t take it”. The monster may have simply accepted an apology of some sort, but instead viewed Francis’ actions as running away from her consequences.

The "I did knock first" deal is supposed to relate to the whole concept of politeness which makes it all the more creepier. The thing that wrote in the last page was basically saying "oh well I did knock first so it's okay." It's kind of like if a serial killer, after invading their victim's house, responded to questioning about why they thought what they did was okay with "I did knock first." I don't know how to express this properly but basically think of it as they are saying well I was polite at first...

Francis' eyes slowly close as her conciousness fades away She soon finds herself awake and tied up in a dungeon Shes afraid as she comes to the conclusion that she was going to be tortured with pain but boy was she wrong Soon a massive 6'5 man comes around the dungeon, each step shakes the floor around him Francis soon realises that this man is naked and that he has a 12 inch boner Francis starts screaming but the man held her mouth shut Shhh little girl, this will all be over soon he slams her to the ground as she pants in desperation PLEASE LET ME GO, she screams but the man didnt even aknowledge her voice shes wriggling and trying to get away but the man rips off all her clothes Then the man gets one of his tools and puts a ball gag on Francis' mouth Francis Choked on the cum as she screamed in agony and pleasure is that all big boy? she asks and started going hardcore with francis Francis didnt feel scared anymore instead she was enjoying herself This made the man angry So he Forced Up his biggest ejaculation yet and erupted in her mouth Francis passed out from lack of breathe Everyday from then on, She was fucked by the brute until she passed out The End

People are reading too much into the last line. "I did knock first" is pretty simple; it's like when someone unwelcome knocks before barging into a room and complains "I did knock first".

To people who didn't get the "I did knock first" part, the monster wrote it because he had knocked before killing (or kidnapping or eating or whatever it did to her) Francis. It's supposed to be psychologically scary, and the idea of knocking itself should scare you for a few days, especially if you saw this at midnight with the lights off.

This powerful piece is about depression, suicide, and the never ending psychological battles that people suffering from depression go through. Francis suffers from depression. The dark, dreary camp grounds (her depression) are too much for Francis to handle, so she escapes, hoping to find a new, happier path in her life. The huge lake represents the cold, dark depths of death (a way out). The boat (Lifeboat) symbolizes her weak and fragile will to live that she desperately clings onto. The lantern (Lifeline) is the last glimmer of hope Francis has that could guide her out of her depression. The "knocking" represents the "voices" within Francis's mind that tells her to end her pain and misery ("Just-Do-It"). This is not to say that Francis didn't go out without putting up a fight. She tries her hardest to row out of the lake, to break free from the depression that wants to drown her, but to no avail. Not letting go of Francis, the depression has finally overwhelmed and consumed her. Loosing her lantern and finally the oars, all the hope in her has been drained out. Even the Campfire back at the camp went out, symbolizing there is virtually no chance of going back. Francis finally decides to give up. Having made up her mind, Francis writes her suicide note in her journal ironically titled: "Vive La Francis". The last words Francis penned were: "I did knock first", meaning that it was indeed, her inner voice, suggesting and commanding her to do the most powerful thing she can ever do: end her own life, under her own terms. This was a very memorable and touching short...

@ElRanjit 9 жыл бұрын

BMC Productions Very plausible and good interpretation, especially because of depression being produced by the mind itself. The whole surrounding that finally holds and kills her is just her mind not letting her go off the boat. She drowns in what has warned her several times before, without having a chance once she entered the boat. She might has survived if she told her parents and didn't go to the lake (which is a symbol for the deepest of depression, as you have mentioned). The resulting message would be as powerful: Don't enter your depression alone, or it will drown you. You can't escape, but you might find some person in your life that can help you learning to swim in your "lake" ... The figure of depression could also be easily swapped with "drugs", because once you started them and you are deep in the lake, you won't exit without help. A point for this view is the cigarette she handles with in the beginning of her journey and that she smokes during her time on the lake. Message: Don't go there alone, DON'T go deeper during your darkest hours! Learn to swim and live. "We don't free us from our feelings, but within them"

The first knock came shortly after she thrown the cigarette in the lake - and became stronger after she lost the lamp in the lake. Maybe something was just pissed off cause she used the lake for waste disposal

I think that she started smoking because she was trying to release her stress, since she was depressed. When she threw her cigarrette she started to get stressed out again and she could hear the scary VOICES in her head ( The VOICES were The knocks) that told her to kill herself. She tried to get out but there was NOWHERE TO GO and nobody that could help her. So she gave up fighting for her life by dropping her lantern in The lake, which meant she lost her Will to live. The VOICES started to take control over her and The only option left for her, was to end her life. I think this video was about how suicidal People with depression feels like.

I’m rewatching this after ages because it’s still one of my favourite animations, I love psychological horrors. I’m guessing the note at the end was written by the monster saying he gave her a warning before killing her perhaps meaning that because of her carelessness nature it led her to this with the meaning being that if you are careless in this world and don’t listen to the warnings, there are bad consequences. Maybe what she did was throwing the cigarette in the water that set it off as mentioned in the beginning that the water was clear and also possibly meaning that she triggered the monster herself as nothing was there before.

This is similar to other theories in the comment section but here’s mine: Like someone has already mentioned, the narrator mentioned the water is clean enough to be drinkable. But Francis threw her cigarette butt in the water, polluting it. This made the “lake guardian” mad or something, and knocked the boat to warn her to get out of the water or else it would harm her. But she ignored it the first two times. Normally, when someone’s knocking in real life, they would knock three times before opening the door without permission. She ignored it and so the lake guardian had enough and killed her. The words “I DID KNOCK FIRST” I think is her “knocking” in the water by throwing the cigarette butt in there. She knocked first, meaning she disturbed the water first before it did anything to her. That’s my theory :))))
