Think it deserves an Oscar tbh.

The Grucifixion (2021) is a movie about a man’s descent into the 5 stages of grief, attention-seeking and insanity. The protagonist of the movie, Isaac H.P, is a man with a split personality after being deprived of his social media career by recycling the same joke. This effected him to the effect of interviewing himself during his stage of grief. The line, “No one hates me” is a prefect depiction of his denial stage, with him believing there aren’t people who dislike his persona and identity. His descent into anger is shown before his denial with him refusing the stealing of his identity with him inflicting pain on to another minion-face. This can be symbolic of his self hatred and his mental state. The bargaining stage came before all of these, however, when he met imalexx and pleaded for a collaboration. In this scene, Alex depicts society, and their hatred towards Isaac whilst Isaac pleads for another chance. He understands the truth but fails to accept it. This stage of bargaining evolves into him depicting himself as happy with a family, but as the line ‘dropping my ego’ occurs, he drops his child and is returned to sorrow and eventually reality. The same reality gives birth to Isaac’s terminal depression, in which he attempts to overcome this by not moving forward in optimism, but in nihilism and surrounded by his dead and fallen dreams ( like himself). He marches onwards with a clock ticking in the form of a song as he shows caveman like tendencies and willingly crucifies himself. This is symbolic at both the Religious and Scientific origins of man and Isaac displaying both as chooses Religion, which non-believers say to be fiction. Isaac’s former sane self says goodbye to his new self as the past version of him appears in a comedic state as he is left on a cross to suffer alone. Ultimately, Isaac is rejected by both society and himself, and can only find comfort with ending himself rather than seeking help from others. This tragic story retells the after effects of grief and a man’s mental deterioration whilst appearing as a comedian. “How close to insanity are we willing to go to reach fame” -Charlie Curtis

It’s so funny remembering when he just started out making minion jokes without the makeup suit etc and no one thought anything of it, now this is what it’s led to. The dedication is insane

This is probably the most beautifully crafted satirical comedy sketch I’ve ever seen. This is literally the best short film I’ve seen all year

This man made us believe he was having a mental breakdown but was secretly creating a masterpiece.

Incredible

Guys I've watched this video a few times now and I think I finally understand what its about. I think it raises the question of how close to insanity are we willing to go to reach fame. Allusions to insanity are made throughout the video, from the reference to the joker movie at the start, to the dream-like sequences in the middle to the characters that appear and disappear from thin air throughout the entire film. The theme of sacrifice only becomes apparent in the final sequence I believe. Isaac wakes in a forest with minions hanging from trees and a crucifix/grucifix nearby. The grucifix is important as it represents how Jesus sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity. Here so has Isaac sacrificed his own sanity for the sake of fame, and it is the pressure and fear of 'falling off' that has taken its toll. This is also the only point in the film where there are no 'real' characters other than Isaac himself. This represents Isaacs final descent into insanity, to a point beyond where people can reach him. The film ends with his own son telling him he has fallen off and an Isaac in no minion face telling him goodbye and running down the hill half naked. Isaacs son is a dual representation of all that is both good and bad about Isaac - a reminder of the time when he felt happiest, and one of when he felt saddest. It is a part of him, and the fact it is this character that tells Isaac he fell off shows the fractured nature of Isaacs mental state. The Isaac in no minion face is the final sane part of Isaac that is left and his departure marks the arrival of total insanity for Isaac.

ik its like a running joke that this is some sort of masterpiece but this id genuinely a great piece of cinematography and i enjoyed it more than most movies ive seen.

this but this guy is literally pushing the boundary of online character portrayal into the perfect grey area

The fact that you spent months leading up to this and making us all belive you were actually mental, and then released this masterpiece, is just amazing

I don't know why or how, but this is genuinely the most touching short story I've ever watched. Great music choice, INCREDIBLY well shot and edited, you most certainly did not fall off.

The score, the cinematography, the sheer emotion. A story of decent into grusanity told in a way to allow the audience to cry, to smile and understand. The minion opus of Isaacs career.

This was so good Enter it into film festivals

This is honestly incredible how something so ridiculous and silly was used as the main subject of a tragic story that made the audience feel real emotion. Cinematography low key phenomenal btw

The music. The cinematography. The story. The meaning. It wouldnt be too far to say this is one of the most powerful and relevant peices of art ever created in the 21st century. I could _literally_ write essays on it.

Just finished rewatching the grucifixion and even 6 months on from my first watch I still feel that understanding and truly mesmerising sensation of the emotions that this short film can deliver to all. The film being called the ‘grucifixion’ is a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The short film can help deliver such a powerful and overwhelming message that can truly touch hearts just like many may feel when referring to the crucifixion as a tragedy but a miracle at the same time. This unusual mix of emotions helps really portray the main protagonist (isaac hp) and his story. He is often in denial and disbelief as if he can’t truly express his feelings or emotions and that makes this film a tragedy at the beginning until he confesses the truth and his true love for the Minion species, this beautiful, touching gesture and reference helps to show the miraculous turn out of the film although it originally seems a tradgedy. He has used many different cinematic and narrative techniques used by some of the greats of English literature and poetry. This film helps us understand his feelings throughout modern day society and allows us to feel as if we are in his shoes. Isaac lives in a world of unlimited possibilities and in a fast moving advanced society this film helps carefully and beautiful explain how not everyone is as they seem on the outside. Isaac uses lots of comedy but hides it in and displays no reaction to any of his sarcasm or jokes. This allows us to feel as if we are playing a part in this short film and it allows everyone to interpret it in different ways. This is a beautiful thing to do from Isaac and it makes a film become a masterpiece as it means different people view it different ways just like Isaac lives life different to others in this film. Finally I believe that rewatching this was perfect as the new minions releases later this week. This story of isaacs life will truly enrich my viewing of the rise of gru film as it can really focus on the tragic events and the cruelty that life can sometimes hold rather than the happiness and silliness that a minions film can often express. I believe this is the greatest piece of cinematography of all time as every word can inspire and can wondered upon. It helps many people from all shapes of life to all enjoy the same brilliant story. Thank you for putting this masterpiece together Isaac

Isaac H.P’s dramatic short film “The Grucifixion” may seem heavily inspired by the 2019 CBM “Joker,” but as you dive deeper into the dialogue and cinematography, an idea emerges inside of you that may be similar to what Isaac imagined before bringing the film to life - a modern twist on a classic tragedy.

The thing is that we all thought that this man was going bananas but he was just hyping us up for this absolute masterpiece

insane

This man has single handedly played everybody. Masterpiece.

seriously this guy has potential in film making , i know this might be a "joke film" but the cinematography and the film making in general is seriously amazing

this is a masterpiece

5 minutes in and this is already one of the greatest youtube videos i've ever seen

No-ones talking about how good the interview scene was. The way the interviewer just disappeared shows it was all in isaacs head. The stand up scene shows how trauma has affected isaac. The film was superb. Well done

the cinematography in this is unbelievable! Honestly you should peruse film and more cinematic videos like this! Great job Isaac and everyone who worked on this with you. From everyone who watched this

jokes aside this was an incredible full commit to the joke, well done and great ending

This is a visual journey. I was on the edge of Gruicide before I saw this but it has changed my life for the better, thank you Issac. You saved a life and brought joy into this world.

I wish more people experimented with ironic forms of artistic media. Although its foundation is a minion meme, Isaac managed to turn it into a pretty captivating short film.

This is unironically one of the best short films I’ve ever watched. From the acting to the planning/set up this film is riddled with twists. Head to toe this film is mad, and perfectly depicts a man loosing power of himself, slowing sinking to rock bottom. 9.5/10

isaach is becoming one of them surreal comedians

Absolutely incredible he created a PR team without even knowing absolutely genius and incredibly produced

The quintessential film about an artist giving up themselves for the sake of their work. The cinematography is shockingly immersive and dreadfully beautiful. The script, although meant to be a joke in many aspects, is dripping with tragedy and is deeply personal. An astounding debut from Isaac H.P.. I can't wait to see what he does in the future.

to keep an entire audience in for months thinking your health is declining for it all to be a huge build up to something this good is a talent unlike another. fair play and a class short film

Tbh this was weirdly quite amazing months of throwing people on a scent that you’ve lost it to creating this story and masterpiece you could see it as a joke but was quite beautiful

im lowkey not kidding when i say i was on the verge of tears watching this

Absolutely amazing short film, this couldn’t have been performed any better. The fact you have went in public dress up as a banana man is simply inspiring. I’m amazed by the effort that went into this the emotion that was shown throughout parts of this was sensational, well done Issac for making the best short film I’ve ever seen. The acting was first class as well. When the banana man was daydreaming about the girl was my favourite part, the acting was so fabulous I thought it was happening but the twist to say that it was a daydream was just simply fantastic. Brilliant short film.

You sir are a f**king GENIUS 🔥.

Holy shit this is really smart. He single handedly had everyone on social media worried for his safety but he was actually crafting this masterpiece

Acting 9/10 Cinematography 10/10 Emotional storytelling 10/10 Social commentary 9/10 Character arch’s and dynamics 9/10 Overall a beautifully shot, meaningfully constructed, superbly paced masterpiece of a script and finished product

Gives me shivers. Incredible story about a dying star and gimmick-based fame in the rapidly evolving digital society we live in. I love it.

The lore behind this joke is outstanding

I know this whole minion shit started out as a joke, but you’ve turned it into one of the most incredible forms of art i’ve seen in a long time. The cinematography was immaculate, and the portrayal of the slow descent into insanity was perfection. Thrilling. Well done lad 👏🏼

That first 10 seconds of this short movie were the best cinematographed scenes I have ever seen on KZfaq

this has the weirdest concept but its executed perfectly

This man is a genius, the fact that he started all this out just from a few minion jokes and got us all invested in the story HOLLYWOOD HIRE THIS MAN. Legendary story

Bro wtf this is a piece of art I actually can’t believe the minion gag came to be such a brilliant story seriously. The editing was like a Oscar worthy movie it actually felt like you had a production crew with you at all times. Excellent work mate I hope you keep doing stuff like this

this is fucking phenomenal, took a TikTok joke to a masterpiece. Absolutely incredible.

came back to this banger, absolutely incredible

If this wasn’t minion themed and a pisstake, this could be classed as an amazing psychological short movie, which it is

This is the biggest commitment to a joke I have seen in a while

Despite being a 12 minute video on "grutube" this is better than most films, and it's actually quite sad, quite touching as well, people say it depicts grief, which it does depict it in some way In my opinion, it depicts humanities insecurities and emotions and thoughts, he goes through self torture in the form of succumbing to what he thinks people want him to be, despite being a film that probably isn't actually real, it does a great job at showing what our society today has changed in our thinking, if you have a different opinion I would love to hear it

That was incredible. You can say if it wasn't minion themed then it could be oscar worthy or something but I wouldn't take anything away from it. We may be reading into it too deeply but that was so good and the subject doesn't matter because the story is still there. The cinematography and the score were amazing too. I hope you do more but I'm sure most would be fine with just having this.

This is actually a fucking masterpiece

Despicable us 😢🙏

Tell your uncle to release the music on Spotify this stuff is beautiful and it made this whole video so much more beautiful

this really is the loving send-off a character like this deserves. well done, isaac. you really outdid yourself on this

You should actually submit this to festivals, this is incredible

Holy shit Isaac, this is probably the best thing you've ever done. this got me sobbing and I had this awful gut feeling, but to be honest I hope this is all just a joke and I hope your doing ok. Love you mate!

This was actually amazing man. Beautifully shot, commitment to the role. The lead up and all the speculation… you made me feel for this character and captured the heart of it. Very well done man, genuinely deserves an award.

I don’t know whether this started as a joke and turned into a masterpiece and the film it amazing man I seriously cant even put it into words like the amazing details and character building and film techniques I’m amazed.

An absolutely gut wrenching performance. My eyes hurt from sobbing, and my life will never be the same after witnessing this truly saddening performance.

I know this was made as a joke but damn. This is a genuinely good piece of amateur cinema. The cinematography was excellent and really went along with the writing to convey insanity. Well done

I nominate this for best cinematography of the year

He needs to do more of these bruh fr

This short film shows the effects of abuse, the mental and physical degredation of this man is shot so viscerally, with these claustrophobic close ups and gritty editing showing every morcel of pain he is going through. this film seriously moved me as i once suffered the same way.

You didn’t even have to act. The cinematography in its self would perfectly depict each emotion. Just adds to the greatness of this piece. Hats off to you mate.

Amazing work! Tell your uncle to put his music on Spotify!

This is honestly such a great short film the ending is insane I know it’s satire and all but that honestly makes it 10 times better I’d watch like 10000 more of these keep making some short films

Now this is cinema. Unironically more entertaining and beautiful than most modern day films. If this was a secret start to your film career then you’re going places, this was seriously amazing.

Isaac, I am stunned for words, beautiful storytelling, you really picked out every aspect of minion mans feeble, but complex life. Showing his true colours and how the man of minions feels in his heart. It shows his remorse and sense of emotion for playing his part in the untimely death of his one and only son with his minion wife, or so he thinks. An excellent portrayal of a man driven to madness by his own fantasies. Another factor to minion mans demise is how he was treated by the public and ridiculed several times. My perception of this masterpiece is that Isaac has the feeling he has angered Gru by not being the best he can be so ultimately ties himself to the minion cross, as a desperate last-dash attempt to save minion kind from Grus evil wrath.

11:41 is my favorite shot of this short film. The cinematography on this is genuinly professional and covey such great emotion

This slowly went from a good video to a masterpiece. I’m stunned.

the last few minutes of it was shot perfectly, it’s extremely well written even though it’s a joke in itself

Cheers mate the kids have gone bananas now

Wow. I really expected not to take this film seriously, but somehow Isaac managed to make it really good… this is filmed so atmospherically… its amazing

The Grucifixion has changed my life. Jesus only died for people who sin but The Grucifixion was for each and every one of us. The Grucifixion 🙏🏻.

Genuinely, no lie, this was incredible. The colour grading was insane and the shots were just mindblowing. Bravo.

Chapter is over, but the book hasn’t closed it was great witnessing this crisis of a stage in your life Isaac, welcome back 🙌🏼

This made me genuinely sad. It reminds me of being in the tall, wavy grass near the beach on vacation with my family. Seeing somebody carry a cross, alone, through my memory made me realize that I’m closer to the moment where I must do the same than the moment I made the memory. I think that’s in large part because I’m a nostalgic person and it’s night time, but the music and visuals are nothing to scoff at. Quite impressive stuff coming from a minion video

2 years later and im still here watching this masterpeice

This is a historic event

The way he’s set this up for so long then pulled this masterpiece out of the bag. Surely this goes viral

Great to see your sister making an appearance as the wife. Really incredible.

I feel like its his childhood manifested in a person, one that cant act according to soceitys norms and for other peoples wellbeing. Neither handle responsibilty. He slowly goes insane bc of lack of meaningful human interaction. Even tho all he wanted to do was to make ppl happy and laugh. He imagines the little fame he gained as a tiktoker as him being a world class celeberity. This doesnt help at all. He then goes fully mad but in a last atempt to make somone, atleast somone laugh. The childhood dies with the last joke the grucifixion. This soo deserving of an oscar. Ive only barely watched it once and theres soo much hideen beneath the surface. soo lets disscus more down below.

This was fucking incredible i watched him in his “IM NOT A DRILLER” days and I for some reason feel proud I knew the minion thing was a joke/bit and I knew he was funny and a reasonably intellectual guy but this is actually well made and dramatic yet comedic it reminds me of girl on the train a bit

The fact you've been teasing the ending from the beginning and no one realised. This is genuinly fucking genuis

This is the most influential piece of film I have ever pondered

4:18 the way the shot cuts from him in the garden to central london is perfect

This is genuinely the best video I’ve seen this year, the comedy and cinematography is outstanding. Well done Isaac 👏

Isaac this is a masterpiece I'm actually baffled, he made an genuinely dope short film about a fucking minion 😂

This is the first film that's changed me This is the first movie to make me think about the artistic side of a film and also think about hidden messages I would never think about My personal interpretation of this film is about how an obsession can make you that obsession both physically and mentally and him getting "grucified" is him Getting rid of that obsession and completely changing himself like how he was before 9 out of 10

this video deserves more likes and views this is legit a full on short movie. by far the best short film ever. It's a masterpeice.

I like how he took something so bizarre and silly and turned it into a cinematic and emotional masterpiece.

Chills. Absolute chills. As a professional movie critic, this movie was stunning in all areas. This is a beautiful cinematic masterpiece.

genuinely an amazing piece of cinematography highlighting worrying issues surrounding the tragedy of minion face

cinematic masterpiece should have been shown in cinemas

No one can pick their father, but everyone can pick their religion. The Grucifixion tries to untangle questions of faith and identity. The protagonist is obsessed with Minions, the goal of a Minion is to serve a chosen master, it seems that the protagonist has become a servant to his own masters, ironically the Minions. In this twisted ouroboros the protagonist finds himself being eaten by isolation and delusion. Like all of us, we are faced with choices in our actions, do we choose to abandon our faiths in hope of a better future,? or do we stubbornly double down, continuing to serve, the question becomes for our protagonist, what would a Minion do? A Minion would follow his master, a Minion would serve. But how do you serve a master who’s own desire is also to serve? Our protagonist finds himself breaking out of the belly of the snake, he becomes a symbol, he stands on it’s flayed corpse in traditional Christian symbolism, a sacrifice, if one cannot serve a master whose own goal is to serve other masters; then one can only serve themselves, and everyone must atone for their own sins.

Isaac, I always had faith in you. This brought me to a state of critical dehydration due to excessive crying. My condition is highly unstable and it's unlikely that I'll make it through the night. I depart from this earth in Isaac's name. May Gru guide us to salvation, mate.

youre an aamazing creator. the fact that i felt genuine emotions for the character is insane

One of the most incredible modern day films
