Balance 1989

[cuncu91]

its mini Voldemorts

[DannyLuvsIndustrial]

now not only can he not reach the box to hear its music, but he is all alone.

[ptrLeGrand]

Brilliant.

[alexisurunde]

arre

[edubraudes]

the numbers on their shirts have any meaning?

[heemaism]

i think it should only belong to 75 because he is the one who found it

[heemaism]

er konnte das nicht weil er ist dum

[ThePinzess]

Der Film wittre im Haus der Geschichte in hürth gezeigt  :o

[NightPuma1]

Er könnte es mit der Angel noch herholen oder ?

[TheSelli95]

@NightPuma1 dann wär aber das gewicht zu groß auf der einen seite und er würde damit abstürzen =D

aber eig. könnt er die kiste immer näher ziehn und sich mit ihr in die mitte setzen... naja :DD ^^

[NightPuma1]

@TheSelli95 Das hatte ich auch eig. gemeint

[willywirth1]

el egoísmo que impera es fruto del sistema monetarista-capitalista salvaje, excelente trabajo !!!

[ParaVision1985]

I think, the Lauenstein brothers won an Academy Award for this.

[Glupschi112]

creepy ... <.<

[Marcemujres]

EXCELENTE!



[als510]

Neoliberalist Capitalism at its finest.

[Talktocsv]

they look like voldemort :/ just sayin'

[Cridec]

awesome video

[jagermeister902]

Very topical, though from 1989

[Gabiolaa]

las personas no son egoistas... el sistema capitalista hace que lo sean. esta muy bueno el corto

[Zugvogel1]

What does the Video shows ?

Egoists never can Win !

[rickcotc]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!



[ulisesmaximilianoflo]

¿Algún valiente que traduzca los subtitulos?

[TubeCompie]

A fine representation of the current crisis.

[daweil94]

why has this only little over 100k views

[tRnH2]

My art teacher showed us this. I was the only one in class who was actually... amazed.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@tRnH2 How was the rest like?

[tRnH2]

@TheRacistsMustDie thought it was unrelevant to art, wouldn't stfu.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@tRnH2 You should never do, otherwise you'll just give in to all those other people talking nonsense. I'm doing an extra art history course now just for fun, last time the professor had to shut me up because I didn't want to give up my stance (because I was right! but I did bring it in an unfortunate way).

[DarkAx666]

Awesome!! This video is sad but true, cause the human mind is selfish. The first word of a child " IT'S MINE!!"

[DarkAx666]

Awesome, and really true, cause the human mind is selfish and this video show it very well! 5/5

The first word of a child "It's mine!!!"

[donutszumkaffee]

Es handelt über Balance, Egoismus und Zusammenhalt.

[Na9rawi87]

why 75 77 23 35 51 ?

[MrFuckyea69]

notable wn notable

[halo2846x]

who else work with that video in english lesson?

[maxi7564]

porque tienen esos numeros?

why they have this numers?

[malditumpoeth]

@maxi7564 Como todos son iguales, los numeros deben ser para distinguirlos.

[george4mon]

voldemorts family

[SuperProtox]

impresionanate¡¡



[zeugimiguez]

es lo mejor en cortos que se ha realizado jamas, una verdadera obra de arte

[cleaireha]

La terra, i cinque continenti e la cassa con le risorse :)

[Courtneymister]

I saw this 22 years ago in a film festival in NYC and never forgot it. So glad I could find it as I didn't remember anything except the film and how cool it is and what it says about society.

[TMassip]

La suma de las individualidades potencia el éxito.

[Moengerich]

and the winner is...

Michael Jordan!

[Zetapimpkin]

lol 7:11

[Turtleproof]

"What's int he b-o-x?" cried the detective in despair.

[haribo687]

Number 75 is an asshole

[joorgeee22]

The idea is very original, though the video itself is quite boring

[OrginalKork]

@joorgeee22 How is it boring? Grow up.

[danielkajo1]

i see that video in my school is awesomeee!!!!! >:3 i love ittt

[musicdork4ever]

I don't understand how this represents the fall of soviet communism...

[mthrash666]

es realmente una obra de arte este video.

[derBene]

Love how simple it is and how that creates a tense atmosphere together with the great sound. :D

[boccastones]

Put it on the center! Share it!!!

[lukethegreat101]

@boccastones clearly they dont play miniclip games

[FKURKO]

Great video!

[3zyPL]

There are: 35, 51, 75, 77 and the last one standing is number 23.

[3zyPL]

What do you think about the meaning of their numbers? Is there any?

[ralphie092]

in a word, clearly its about GREED!

[Massinissathefirst]

Is that about whether or not equality in poverty is better ( more balanced) than material inequality ?

[necrhom]

Me encanto!!!

[sgwolp]

@samboyaus

Well, I don't know about the numbers, but regarding the behaviour of no. 75 ,I'm sure he doesn't want to send the box back. I rather believe he is trying to get to the box by carelessly causing imbalance risking it to fall off and therefore he is forcing the others to change the sides. Look at his defiant body language that seems to say," now it's my turn whatever happens."

[Squallkpo]

la envidia y la codicia nos van a arruinar la vida, como explica el video, a lo ultimo, nos quedamos solos, por nuestro egoismo, nuestra envidia, nuestro sentimiento de querer todo sin importar los demas, el balance se hace de a grupos, cuando nos quedemos solos, nunca podremos avanzar, hasta quedarnos sin nada y acabar muertos en nuestro propio vomito

[nmmeyer9922]

watch. this. stoned.

[CroBer09]

Genial!

[Clonedcarrot]

why don't they pt the box in the middle?

[sdst07]

@Clonedcarrot because it's a metaphorical example of the real operation of the world and not of the ideal

[Squallkpo]

esto es.. es.. y esto que es?

[samboyaus]

i understand the idea of balance, but i still have many questions about this film. especially the numbers on their backs. perhaps something to do with status? although at the begining they all seem to act as equals.

then at about the 5:02 mark, no. 75 seems as if he's trying to send the box back where it came from. why? and then the survivor was number 23.. which was the lowest number out of the 5.

[rafale721]

El mensaje es que, tenemos que crear un equilibrio en el mundo. Cosas como la codicia y la envidia arruinar el equilibrio y destruir todo lo que hasta que no están solos y no tienen nada.

[lafon20]

@rafale721 estoy contigoooo

[ergoki]

i would use the fishingpole to reach the box ^^

but the film is still impressive

[LY9999]

love this ... we disscused this in school a few monthes ago.. I just wonder why they have the numbers on their jackets??? the highest one is 75 ... maybe there were 75 of them... but the same thing happened to them as to the those here... I really wonder..

[mojozeppy]

that speaks volumes...

[M3killU]

i got it. 1 person/people step out of line, then everybody has to step up to make it balance, Greed takes over, a fight/war breaks out, then only 1 person is left with NOTHING in his reach.

[Wenyang0407]

impressive!

[hydra513]

Pretty cool video- looks like it inspired "Dark City".

[JhonatanG91]

exelente animacion

[electroleon]

boring

[hikarella]

@electroleon

you just dont get the message of this animation

[thizzinmarkie]

this is fucking retarded

[Fillex51]

@thizzinmarkie so is your mom´s vagina

[thizzinmarkie]

@Fillex51 ohh shit you got me broo

[tomirock79]

Muy bueno viejo eh... cuantas ideas surgen de tan poco!

[MrEdwiyar14]

really good video

[MayDayJonas]

I love the message!! The message is that, we have to create a balance in the world. Things like greed and envy ruin the balance and destroy everything until we are alone and have nothing.

[HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1]

@MayDayJonas No, not really, there just a bunch of creepy dudes walking on a platform...

[diefervepo]

@HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1 Wow... you must be stupid not to realize there is really a message behind all this. its not just a claymation.

[diefervepo]

@HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1 look im good person but you are so stupid that i had no chance to tell you this bitch motherfucker so shut the fuck up yes im from guatemala so what bitch

[Crazy0Jay0Dude0]

@HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1 Shut the fuck up you retard you probably american hey? because you to ignorant to comprehend this magnificent and original work of art. Go do what you do everyday being a moron :P :) :) :)

[HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1]

@Crazy0Jay0Dude0 Nee onnozel manneke, ik ben van België. Hoe oud zijt ge, 12? 13? Ga nog wa me de blokjes spelen voor da'k uwen bek volschijt. En vrienden zoeken kan ook geen kwaad...

[Crazy0Jay0Dude0]

@HaveYouSeenMikeUnt1 Ohg ik heb jou gevoelens gekwetst? Gij verrekte mongol problemen gehad wnr je klein was?

[CorpsewieldeR]

@MayDayJonas

...until we have nothing but desire to get something that we can't have despite destroying the balance.

[dieckjobst]

@MayDayJonas lol don't try telling that to the ayn rand libertarians.

[pato3mix]

@MayDayJonas The message is that you need to kill your mates, and use their bodies to balance the world

[cantomortal]

@MayDayJonas i think you dont get the message.

[sethneuron]

Although beautifully portrayed, the makers of this short truly believe that man/woman is inherently bad and doomed to eradicate themselves! I personally have more faith in us.

[Marimorgul]

holy shit

[MrKakatoe]

Not so amazing that you find it amazing. It's won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1989.

[CyberInfektor]

Wow!...This video is AMAZING...

[Sascha98765]

nice 5/5

[UGGO87]

Excelent!

[assaissa]

Кто что надумал? )

[neychev]

[imranbug81]
