  • I think his shirt it´s like his confidence, because he´s "different" from the other kids, but really he´s just another kid, with thoughts and ideas while he walks to school, he uses his imagination like any other kid, but that´s stuck, the park is the last place where he could be happy, because that´s where he used to play.

    So his confidence stays in the place where he feels safe and then he goes to school and it´s just another day where he´ll feel "naked" and vulnerable to the jokes of others

  • pretentious hipster bullshit

  • I don't get it

  • Makeupfromlastnight's interpretation is definitely the one...

  • BONER

  • this scared me

  • will someone beat this retard with a spatula?

  • Poor kid.

  • When I was in first grade, one of my classmates kinda pulled that trick. :D

  • . . . WOO IM WITH HIM! :D PARTAY NEKKED PARTAY! :D

  • i think i was just intellectually mindfucked

  • What a shitload of bullshit "interpretations".

    This is just a dream, you fucking shitheads...

    This is a classic dream situation: you find yourself naked in public.. another one is youre about to present a differential equations exam and you dont remember ever attending the fucking course.

    Youre some pathetic bunch of shitheads... many lulz!

  • @farawaysoclose61 Just because someone's interpretation is different from yours does not make them a "fucking shithead". Art is beautiful because it can mean so many things to so many people, who then get enjoyment out of it. That's the point of it. In fact in my experience, people who think that there is only one meaning behind everything in the world and spit on anyone else's reasoning tend to be the stupid ones. Like yourself.

  • @SillyLitleGirl This short is all style and no story. These guys had 3D skills and no story to tell, so the director tells us a regular shit Im naked dream and hopes that the shitheads will start looking for the hidden meanings.

    Except there isnt shit! The guy who sees the gay metaphor probably is gay, and all the other harebrained interpretations are just trying to sound clever.

    You probably pick up stray dogs, dont you? You should try getting laid! Pretty unlikely with that horse face u got!

  • @farawaysoclose61 It's a 2D animation, not 3D ;)

  • @farawaysoclose61 That was just another interpretation........ironic?

  • uhhh ok.....

  • This video is epically fucked up, I don't care what anyone says about meanings and shit, if you just watch it as it is it's freakily hilarious :L

  • I love it!

  • im glade i dont go to his school... it would suck to sit in the chair after him!

    lol he must be getting that nice breeze you hear people talking about sometimes....

  • @danman67214 your 'glade' you dont go to his school?

  • @ell3000 :P my grammer isnt the best, because english inst my 1st language.

    (sorry)

  • I personally think it's about how he feels naked (methaphor for uncomfortable) and different around the kids at school because he may be autistic. So like as he walks to school, he feels more and more naked the closer he gets.

  • @makeupfromlastnight I like this interpretation and to think it's meant that way! Otherwise it's really creeping me out a bit. ;) I am not sure how it's meant, the boy looks a bit like an old man in some way (grey hair,..) and his face a bit like someone with a down syndrom ...?!? Don't know if it's just the drawing style or if it's intentionally: I'm really not sure what to think about this movie - but it's definitely well painted - interesting animation style.

  • @hoppetosse8 indeed! haha i thought the same thing when i first watched it, but i had to watch it a couple more times to kinda realize it. I like it a lot.

  • I get it.

    It is simply about life, and all the intricate thoughts we have, and how individually we have these lives we live. Each and every one of us is sensitive and have these sorts of thoughts.

    Then you go to school where everyone tears your heart out with insecurities and insensitive behavior.

  • je l'aime :'( in a sad way

  • I think this is just about being different, and how the child takes off his clothes, he is saying 'Look at me! Take me as I am!'.

  • Yeah that was just fucked up. great story telling skills, really. but come on

  • someone help him

  • He forgot to close the door 0:45

  • Comment removed

  • Hate to be the person to sit in the chair after him at school.....

  • I don't think this is about an autistic child.

    This child says he looks like he has a skirt on, and he is a boy. (at 1:41)

    This means he feels like he is a girl, even though biogically, he's not.

    Getting naked means showing who really he is.

    When a boy goes to the school, showing who really he is(wanting to be a girl), everyone laughs at him.

    This video is showing us how kids laugh and insult when someone is very different. I feel like this is more related to gay people..

  • @Mmesoapy No, he thinks he's looking in the mirror, but really, he's just looking through the window, and a girl with a skirt passes by.

  • Comment removed

  • @Mmesoapy I don't get it why this should be related to gay people. There might be some gay people who want to be the other gender, but some heterosexual ones want this as well. I think this is the old preconception that gay people want to be the opposite gender. Sorry but this is in most cases untrue.

  • I like it, I like the style and the voice, its a very good video and to others who do understand its meaning as I do,it gives a good example of what is wrong with the child.

  • This story is meant for people to feel bad for the child, it wasn't meant to laugh at him. The story seems odd, but the creators tried showing how autism can effect people in there point of view (they might of seen someone do this act before in their lifetime).

  • @anime4ever624 In this case the boy doesn’t really know what he's doing but keeps doing it daily. As you can see each person who is a "clothing stop" for the boy would just stay still and do nothing (because they were in shock or knew something was wrong with him), and soon the boy makes a fool of himself in school.

  • @HuzBynn Interesting theory.

  • Moral of the story: retarded kids are retarded.

  • So... Hes a pedo?

  • the voice will give me nightmares.

  • I was told the true meaning of Luis and Lucia...but what is the meaning of this story? I can't tell if it's sad...or supposed to be a funny story

  • lol start movie at 27 seconds hes not brushing his teeth lol

  • i dont know if i should laugh, or be sad.

  • This is too unrealistic

  • ermm..

  • so after he gets naked does he just stand there for about a half an hour then leave to go get his clothes or what?

  • err uhhh...

    

  • Strange indeed, but I'm somehow drawn to it. I assume there is a message or reason for it no doubt

  • wtf did I just watch?

  • this video send a message. and this message sucks.

  • That was creepy...

  • what

    the fuck!!

  • wtf is this!!!!

  • what

    the

    hell...

  • i felt it was about how you feel when people bully you at school

  • @bookworm13130 I agree with that interpretation, actually. He's going off to school, literally and figuratively getting progressively more naked as he approaches the school lot.

  • i feel sorry for tom

  • did he spunk in the sink!!

  • è nudo di fronte agli altri perchè sceglie di non indossare una divisa

  • Either T.O.M. is indifferent to the school childrens' views of him, or he was expressing himself sexually. Great film in general though.

  • english for idiots. lesson 1. zer gut.

  • It's a shame that some of the people here are just trolling the video. It's a real statement about how we view mental retardation. It makes me ashamed of myself.

  • i didnt understand it but it scarred me for life.

  • ok i got no idea what the fuck just happend but it completely fucked up never want to watch it again

  • Errr... IDK if this has anything to deal with aspergers It doesn't seem like it I know because I have aspergers

  • @FredrichNietzsche25 mmm.... interesting, and how do you feel it?

  • This is a really wonderful production. I can't stop watching it, really love this little character. Beautiful.

  • his gay

  • ive got AS and I recognize this kind of behavior

  • WTF

  • WTF

  • Ruined by the other comments, couldn't have my own ideas on it afterwards.

  • i like his name

  • Well it's artistically good, but I didn't really get its meaning..

  • @MewMewRishu it doesn't need to have meaning whatsoever.

  • @MewMewRishu It is funny though :3

  • odd...but good

  • i was expecting more of a conclusion...didnt really get it, maybe thats the point. really well done though

  • sad

  • Sounds aspie to me.

  • its so poor for that kid, well done

  • no,its not about an autistic kid. the idea is to make the viewer feel as uncomfortable as possible whilst watching this kid go to school. just ask tom and dan who made it at holbrooks films!

  • but the kid had some good reasons for what he did. though it was funny as hell. wait its about an autistic kid? oh...

  • wtf?!?!?!?! did they use microsoft sam or something sim?

  • This is a sad film, but powerful. Congratulations to the makers

  • ummm...not sure if i liked this or not.

  • this is some funny shit.

  • This video describes the bulbagarden community tbh

  • @Kurtrill

    How the fuck is his wang autistic?

  • i do the same thing!!!

  • well?

  • i though autistic boys can't said "I " and speak in 3rd person

  • @hipoland Well, no. Autistic people say "I".

  • awesome

  • there would be less autism if we didn't put mercury in everything.

  • tbh, it was a bit too risky, the message is good tho...seems normal to an autistic child.....

  • that kid looks retarted

  • Really? A kid with mental retardation looks retarded? Oh man, I would have never guessed! You just totally blew my mind there, boy.

  • o.o Interesting

  • wtf. nuff said

  • SOO CUTE...

    HELP THE AUTISTICS!!

  • @mrcane23 and the aged

    help tha mutherfuckin aged

  • wtf

  • what the fuck...? lolololol

  • dang,how com they gotta make a short about an autistic child...

    who coms to skool naked

  • @KenteousAwe It presents an image and a contrasting of the social aspect and the boys mind.

    It's called art.

  • i kno, i just cnt really comprehend wut it meant

    thnx 4 clearing tht up 4 me tho!

  • haha retard

  • its about an autistic child.

  • @UnsociableZombieFoxx I think it is a bit oddly offensive.

  • CUTE

    LOVE IT

  • that was..erm..odd

  • very clever......

  • i dont get it

  • @switchcycle the boy has severe autism and aspergers. The narration and routines of the boy and the school kids laughing at the end is a sort of contrast.

  • Autism AND Aspergers, huh? Is this based on anything aside from your own personal interpretation of the film? Because otherwise it is just your view, and declaring your own opinion of something subjective as though it is a universal truth makes you seem somewhat closed-minded.

  • @TwoTube2 uh... Did you even watch the film?

  • Cheshirecat55 uh... Did you even read my comment? I'm not saying the character does not have Autism or Aspergers, I'm simply saying telling people this as though it is anything other than your own opinion seems arrogant. Also, "severe Autism and Aspergers" is a dubious conclusion since severe Autism would probably mean the child was far less coherent as demonstrated here. Mild Autism is more believable.

  • Also, usually Aspergers is thought of as a form of Autism, or separate from; I've never heard someone being described as having both Autism AND Aspergers by a qualified expert. Anyway, the only people who know the character fully are the producers of the animation. If they say this character has Autism then that is true, if you say this character has Autism then that is your opinion.

  • " She looks dead but she doesn't smell bad" : D

  • LOL look at the transcribed captions

  • i really didn't get the idea of this film

  • Jesus christ the automated closed captions are hilarious :D

  • Ahahaha, oh god how come I didn't know about this sooner.

  • ok, what drugs where the animators of this film on when they were making it?

  • 1:56..ahahaha look at his pee pee xD..

  • I think its about being autistic.

  • Strange story, incredible animation and it made me laugh a few times. Kudos to the creators!

  • I think it's about being different..

  • haha.. funny.. for kid that age he knows a lot of words... and i thought he was normal after he wore off his pants,,, there.. O_o

  • This kid needs to go see a docter or something if that is going to continued.

  • After watching this I was trying to figure out what i was missing. I would of never of guessed that this was about autism. I didn't get it before reading other comments.

  • HAHAHAHAHa look at the translated captions!!

  • ha they are so funny!

  • I don't get it :/

  • Dude.

    Really.

  • Comment removed

  • lol so funnnuyyyyy

  • wat :/

    art iz stupid.

  • autism , he got his own world

  • *ding* right

  • I just thought the same thing!

  • i've seen this thing 7 times and i never get tired of it...

  • is little t.o.m a nudist?

  • im a little confused about this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • So coool :) Loved it!

  • whatthefuck

  • Yeah I'll agree with a lot of the comments here suggesting this is a portrait of an autistic child. But It could simply have been made to be funny, it's possible the writer of this just has an odd sense of humour. That's the great thing about film, it doesn't always have to be all conceptual, it can just be a good story.

  • WHAT THE FUCK????

  • well that was annoying

  • It seems the video's on F.S. are becoming worse by each one~ What's going on? Use to be good.

  • I DONT GET IT! wtf is the lesson here!?

  • this video reminds me a lot about a book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. it was written in the perspective of an autistic person and had dialogue very similar to this

  • @AnDeeTs

    I was thinking along those lines to AnDeeTs. I read Curious Incident last year and it opened my eyes to Autism. The attention to detail from the character really does remind me of Christopher. I'm going to contact the Director and ask if he was influenced by the book.

  • Am I to old - but - I did not get this video - is it that I need another drink or what??

    Really would like to come up with an opinion but I can't.

    Karen

  • Haha, I dont know why, but I like this video

  • (In my opinion) It's about the age old dream that we end up in some public place naked.

  • The meaning is left rather too ambiguous to be sure of, but perhaps this is a statement on how we get picked apart by others when we venture out into the world away from those who know us.

  • no disrespect but his voice reminds me that of richard dawking's robotic imitated one.

  • @alastive

    are you sure you don't mean stephen hawking?

    But I agree the voice does sound robotic

  • yes that's who i meant, :P. i was miles away

  • annoying voice

  • não gostei

  • mierda

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA that was funny!!

  • the point is missing. i mean the point that isnt obvious like "we do some stupid rutine shit buut people laugh at ass anyway" and other points along this lines.

    hmph, was expecting something diffrent....

  • what's meant?

  • not your best work. but good :)
