Wow, the way he didn't see the enemy fighter as just another man until he choked the life out of him was a great way to visually show the dehumanization that goes along with combat. He needed to see him as a lanky monster
-
A brilliant showing of what ptsd can look like in an animated medium
-
One of the best points in this animation is the hiding of the faces. Until his ally doesnt remove his helmet, he doesnt see it as an ally. The thin enemy gladiator, the same way.
-
Amazing work. As a therapist and a student of history, this exploration into what the traumatic effects of being a gladiator must have been is really brilliant.
-
Proof that you don't need a lot of dialogue for any dialogue really in order to tell a fantastic story. This was fantastic
-
That was sooooooooo impactful! The PTSD from a Gladiator of those times , i could not fathom. This almost brought a tear to my eye at the end. i was at the edge of my seat until I gasped when a life was taken. every moment was groundbreaking for me! WELL DONE!!
-
Wow, the kind of movies Disney could be making if they actually had good animators and story tellers like this guy.
-
This was as real as real can get for a CGI! The acting and the action was so life like. The vineyards, The purple grapes The hills in the back ground. The brick house in the sloped landscapes and even down to the olive tree.I had to admit , I even shed a tear when his son put his hand on his dads shoulder. Just a small tear.😇
-
I was initially impressed by the animation but disturbed by the dehumanization of the enemy gladiators, but the revelation that this was just fear & anger rather than reality made for a truly powerful emotionally twist. Superb animation of an emotional moment.
-
omg 😭😭😭😭 The ending actually made me cry, the part where his son gently put his hand on his dad's shoulder as if he understood. He helped bring him back. You could feel the patience, love, and understanding. Omg.... this is such a powerful display of PTSD from the pov of an ex-gladiator. I've never once thought of this.
-
Fun fact: Gladiatorial fights rarely ended in a death. This was because they were Very Expensive to maintain.
-
The fact that the other gladiators look like monsters in the heat of combat is a fantastic detail
-
I have been impressed by the expressions so well portrayed of the protagonist's feelings of rage, revenge, hatred. The pictures of the environment, like a still life, have a magnificent light, it is a beautiful work
-
Epic and with amazing music. I like that their faces are really Greek, I review it several times and still feel delighted. And the moment of seeing the body of the murdered man for the first time gives me goosebumps. A masterpiece
-
Every second of the video was a gem. 10 out of 10.
-
I really like how you portrayed various gladiator types in this movie. Especially the enemy scissor
-
You could see how the memory haunted him. This was really emotional to watch!
-
Better to be a warrior in garden than gardener in war.
-
As others have mentioned, the portrayal of the effects of PTSD in this animated short is brilliant. Just as brilliant is the conclusion that communicates the importance having someone walk the road with you. The hand on the shoulder represents someone who anchors you to reality and who will love and support you in even the darkest episodes. The fact that we don’t see the face behind the hand gives the impression that it can be anyone of us that can reach out to someone who is suffering
-
The music at the end fits both the "triumphant victory" and horrific realization, so well. Awesome.
