Taking a first step
The song is beautiful, but since that's not your creation, what counts is the part you created. Now, I don't mean to rip on your emotions. If this is based out of real life, I truly feel sympathetic , unless you were a creep to the girl (boy?) :-). But, in my opinion you don't add too much to the song. Yeah, your message of a "love lost without reason" is there, but it's not really moving. Two reasons. First off, the movie comes off a little... narcissistic-sappy, kinda like saying, "boo hoo, woe is me for losing you, my life sucks now!" Ack. Maybe I've just never lost anyone dear, but I would say move on. And secondly, though it's been beaten into the ground by previous reviews, the graphics ARE a bit (read, a LOT) on the crappy side (that heart? UGH!!). Sorry, but it's hard to be moved by scrolling text. Maybe we've all been weaned on too many eye-candy movies, but a SINGLE FRAME of frame-style animation would have been appreciated. Nonetheless, you definetly get my Kudos for taking the leap into (what has to be) a previously uncharted genre of Newgrounds movies. I don't recall ever seeing a truly emotional movie about real LOVE before on Newgrounds before. Most "love" movies here just involve crude FDA humor... Way to go man. Maybe you don't have the best movie ever, but you made a valiant first brave step into uncharted Newground waters. Now take the second: improve the movie. Who knows? Maybe Newgrounds will become a place of love and understanding. Nah. Hey, better luck with love in the future! ^_^
