[lovesMeelee]

[chthonicriddler]

@Stefanobittu

he is still alive, right?

[Stefanobittu]

@chthonicriddler Sorry...but he died in 2008 after he had completed The Dark Knight

[redgie987]

@Stefanobittu he died half way through it they had to use a double + cgi to fill in the not so big parts

[IGotYourNoseTV]

I like the way Heath Ledger shows the picture in the mirror.

Great video!

[xXCptCharlesXx]

[BilliamBoy1]

Fuck people .. Fuck you Fuck Me.. But dont Fuck Whales...That is gross!

[rikisaltacorp]

lol

[SoulofAlucard]

vanderveer, whales are mammals not fishes

[ghoulliver257]

@SoulofAlucard youre missing the point :P

[smrterthenu]

i love the style of the animation and the whales

[apesandarts]

good idea.

horrible animation.

[rebscum]

it's deliberate... you really think they couldn't have made it smoother if they wanted to? they had the moneys...

[Timasato]

JUST INCREDIBLE...LIKE HIM

[HollyVanderveer]

terrifying totally needed..people do the same thing to poor fishies:(

[haleyy80]

absolutely fucking amazing.

i love it.

[pliskin9876]

deserves more views...

[619cujo]

modest mouse have thier own user with this on it but for some reason they desided to make all their videos private so no one can listen to them its gay :(

[jonnybravo2525]

you gotta pay to become a friend to listen to their private videos, in a way their king rats too

[456cars]

fucking weird but it definitely sends the message! LOVE IT!

[JHoard92]

Fucking Brilliant

[oddballfilmsindustry]

This is kind of...terrifying...

[aronnian]

@oddballfilmsindustry It's what happens in whaling, but backwards.

[Mlvntt]

ez tetszik...a video a legjobb

[IssMare]

Modest Mouse IS LAW.

[IssMare]

and I do value the lives of whales more than humans, but in the end all life is something precious in its complexity or simplicity.

[Mag4Lifstasic]

creepy as fuck

[PodmornicaFTW]

yep

[eXotiCsPAceMoNKeys]

im confused.kindof. this was directed by heath ledger?

[1kuziora]

oh and how many of you watched submedia and came here?

I did ....Submedia has the best musci ever

[1kuziora]

Cousin chang is one of the only people in the world that gets it .......Man I honestly wished I could know someone like you in reall life.....I go to a catholic school ......Yeah I know its fucking gay nobody in that school understands me......And I live in the most capitalist city on the face of the dam planet .....Its a reall pain in the neck .

[a1t3r30min0]

this is awesome shows how ppl should think instead of just about them selves taking anything they can take from someone

[heroandorion]

i love this video, because is so real, and is so cruel to kill this animals

[cousinchang]

that's right, let's feed and clothe every person because we are the most compassionate, rational species in the history of earth that does not kill its own, in the millions, every year. This sense of entitlement brought to you by capitalism and the bible. Idiots.

[jxwhee]

wait so you value a whales life over a humans life? Can you clarify that?

[stgeorge2992]

I sense this comment is supposed to be sarcastic, and while it is true that we are the most violent species the earth has ever seen, we are also the most compassionate and rational. What animal have you ever seen possessing either of these qualities?

[Marumasa]

a whole bunch

[stgeorge2992]

like what?

[Marumasa]

like dogs, dolphins, basically any primate, even some birds.

[stgeorge2992]

Im not sure you could call the traits they possess either rationality or compassion. And the statement that any of these animals possess these qualities even more than humans do is even more questionable.

[audiofunkdialect]

of fucking course nobody is saying that, the point is what if an alien race came to the world and started doing what we do to them to us, we would not feel good about it, and im sure on some level they feel the same way

[Jigsaw241]

I'd say second most violent

Ants are some evil sons of bitches

[0madmadame]

@stgeorge2992 animals have been repeatedly saving other animals of other species for hundreds of years. otters have saved dogs for the water, dolphins saving humans, even a lion saving a baby antelope. monkeys where even put through a test where they would only get food if they electrocuted another monkey, and despite understanding this, they refused to harm other monkeys for food and would starve for up to two weeks. that shows more compassion than any human i've met.

[SibellaLouw]

@0madmadame

That is very very true; I just wish more people would realise it.

[neyeseek]

@0madmadame you make good points, but some animals have no sensitivity, i bet some do though, but tons of animals kill eachother. and if you never met a human like that you ahve never met those vegan people.

anyways do you have a video link i want to see that monkey shocking thing that sounds intresting.

[0madmadame]

@neyeseek which animals do you claim have no sensitivity? because if you are saying that they have no sensitivity because they kill eachother then humans have no sensitivity either. most animals are very inteligent. crows are the smartest animal in britain, capable of math and using tools. rats are a close second being capable of metacognition, meaning they solve problems, but also are capable of considering how much they know. they are self aware, much like all animals.

[rhinoceros9]

@0madmadame Theres always opposite sides of a spectrum,

[WingedZeroh]

@0madmadame and yet we ar far from being animals, not for evolution in advance, but in violence, as human beings have became such despicables creatures...for animals obey nature, we obey no rule but destruction...

Lord! this man and this band is truly a meanning of what should be called music, a very few arts like this band can be called artists and music, not alike the trash the people listen to nowdays.

[christyandmattshow]

@0madmadame well russians believe in the greater good so they probaly would like zap one to death and all live off what they got

[jxwhee]

shouldn't we worry about trying to feed, clothe and educate all the humans before we worry about animals, and to a lesser extent fish? We still have millions of humans without access to fresh water on a daily basis.

[modlovecat]

because humans are the most important part of the planet, its its really important we are kept in HUGE numbers so we can traumatize the earth alittle further?

[FighterPilotable]

Could you talk anymore Rubbish if you tried??? Not impressed!

[jxwhee]

You're a stupid fucking bitch and I want to kill you and play with your blood.

[FighterPilotable]

O Please be my guess. You've gotta find me first mother Fucker!!! Haha. You may as well carry on posting twisted comments on youtube... :D

[bastardsunjt]

this is great! they don't do artsy music vids much anymore

[bbowiee]

mhm, not sure what thats about.

It's the music i care about tho, the video doesn't mean much to me.

[TheBrooksK]

It's whale hunting but the whales are hunting the humans and using them for their blubber

[youcantmakestars]

damn i wish i could watch the one on mm's profile BUT IT SAYS ITS ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY DUE TO COPY RIGHT ISSUES WHEN I CLICK ON IT!!!

[TheBrooksK]

Yea I know wtf!

[mrturchin]

Go Vegan!

[SuperMsifiableful]

One of the reasons that I like this video beside of the whale hunting awareness is the drawing style and originality. I think that through slow motion they wanted to record some images into our minds and it also creates sensation of 3d.

I'm happy they didn't finish the song, it's the best that way. It's art and it don't have to be boring like commercial cartoon for cereals :)

Not to mention that I love the song.

[netowner666]

this is such a fucked up video, kinda reminds me of 2+2=5 by radiohead, but it's still awesome, the song and the meaning

[beesay77]

te gustaria q te hicieran eso?!!

recapacita!!!

[BuuuGGi]

Ахренительно круто!!)

[luizinchains]

i'd rather have whale meat

[musicsger]

This movie is so fucking cool 5/5 favorite ofc

[evalune88]

Avrei voluto che tu riempissi ancora per tanto tempo, il mondo, con il tuo talento. Onore a te, Heath.

[Anihilist]

What do whales do for the environment they aren't needed really. If they were to go extinct it would not mean it is the end of the world or said ecosystem. Don't get me wrong I like the song just don't see the point in the point though.

[pissinmyass12345]

just because they arent needed for the environment doesnt mean that we have the right to kill them... dont get me wrong, im not a hippy cunt but this video does make me hate humanity n all that shit

[Anihilist]

Hate both equally

[softcorecherry]

There's plenty of reasons to be angry with humanity; tons of reasons to hate and even destroy ourselves...

[Bulldog22031]

hell, im kind of hoping for an apocalypse soon

[dietcokecan94]

Yeah, that would be super!

[netowner666]

me too, i cant wait, fuck this rotten society

[KoRaKaZe]

simply it is true...

[kartoffelsaek]

I now fermly believe that Heath was the victim of a crime, a cunning scheme thought of by Moby Dick. The mastermind of all bloodthirsty murdering aquatic mammals. And excecuted by Flipper and his gang of dolphins. ( who we all know are the ninjas of the sea) jokes aside very good song and a very good video.

im just glad someone finally showed the whales true colours. im never going swimming again.

[Anihilist]

this makes me want to kill large aquatic mammals haha good song interesting video

[Dalesman1000]

Great song from a fantastic band. When are they touring the UK?

[pap3rplat3]

december i think. Check their site for official dates though. :)

[danakraken]

I wish we didn't do the same to the poor whales...we have oh so many things to be ashamed of :(

[gassmann1990]

man that is such a twisted vid but an awesum song. you can tell heath must have been disturbed B4 he died. this was the last thing he worked on B4 he died. maybe he did commit suicide? I dunno

[GoldTeamRulez1015]

he didnt take copious amounts of drugs...it was the combination...i doubt suicide is the culprit....

[gassmann1990]

huh... yeah u cud be right.

[GoldTeamRulez1015]

But it is true that he was disturbed especially with humanity....

[gassmann1990]

yeah man like i said B4 u can tell from the vid. But why was he so pissed with humanity man? He was always good at acting as the evil charecter in movies eg. Joker... I do think he had problems...

[audiofunkdialect]

he was not disturbed as an individual person, he was showing that as a whole the human race is disturbed

[dannyboy11490]

oh man what a great video. Such great use of irony. The video switches sides, making us the victims, so we realize the horror that we do to these other creatures.

Haha I was like...omg fuck those whales! they are horrible! look at what they are doing to those poor humans!

then I was like...oh shit....uhhh....damn we suck lol. fuck humans!!!

[bastyo1]

I think i'm shocked. :)) Definitely did not see that coming. xD

[Magister528]

muahahaha awesome Video :)

[muteland]

excellent!!!!! I recomend you a documentary call Shark waters, it's amazing, people is crazy! how they are able to kill animals, destroy the ecosystem is kill ourselves.

[naj74]

i will never eat cheap fish again.

[megawesomekid]

i thought it was pretty funny :)

[nilybol15]

This may be a dumb question..but how exactly do you "direct" a video that's like animation?

[SteamEngenious]

In any way. Like writing a book.

Even if something is painted, drawn, or spoken.

In sorts, it all has to have somebody behind the ideas.

[MaghoxFr]

That is adumb question indeed.

[xsuppyx]

I really love this! I'm gonna be vegan u.u I feel so bad cause of the indefense animals, they really deserve respect, stop killing them, without them we can't live =) thanks for this, we have to make concience! <3

[Evilicious1995]

Huh!?

[ufals1]

I think it's cool video! Really like Heath Ledger and LOVE Modest Mouse! The video reminds me of a reverse, sick and twisted version of the great novelle "Moby Dick". But I like the message! And the video.

[SavedandSound]

Just watched a video on The Cove. It absolutely sickened me, but this was the perfect antidote. My admiration and appreciation of Heath Ledger continues to increase.

Respect for all who collaborated on this animated protest against the cruel, senseless and illegal slaughter of whales, and a big shout out to Sea Shepherd and the many others who care enough to do something about it.

[midnightalastor]

I

LIKED

THIS VIDEO!!

hey! i wanna a 'man' kibble now!

[TeamSpeacial]

I love you modest... the new album is great. cant wait to see you on the 25th

[hectorleon87]

new album there's a new albuem what when wehre?

[TreemanBOO]

Its an Ep :}] very cool though...

[Andresampa]

that's what should happen with the whale hunters...

[MyVlogger]

scary and cool if heath ledger would be alive he would tell us how we treat nature...

[2d4877]

fucking scary but still awsome

[TheCasaBonita]

fucking awesome

[Marab00]

It's wonderful!

[ballard2010]

I read that Ledger died before he finished this, it was like the last thing he worked on, apart from that film. Modest Mouse released this as a tribute

[sebbe1212]

this song rocks ! : D

[connor4190]

this is BAD ASS

[triballeader87]

I think most people here are losing the point. It's not about the animation or quality of video (it's not one of MJ's videos). This video should make you think, open your mind, question some things. Heath Ledger made good video, but it does speak about his emotions, his torment and pain he felt... RIP

[connor4190]

he wasn't a fucking martyr for Christ sakes

[ballard2010]

I read on nme that the video was never finished. So this could well just be the animatic and was never fully animated thats just my guess

[quikmasta]

Its such a shame, they really must have been strapped for cash or time.....

HOWEVER iv just listened to the new EP that i didnt know about .... and i love it.

[quikmasta]

that was far worse than most student animation I have seen.

I love modest mouse, they have long been my favourite band, and i love the graphic style of the whole video . i just wish it didnt look more like a storyboard than an music video.

who animated this carp?

[pyroman1000k]

its a style of animation, not meant to be a quick flowing cartoon.

[quikmasta]

Some of those birds were just tweened along curved paths with no actual animation.

you can argue style for a lot of animation .... the fact is , the animation in this video is classic half-arsed animation that you would see people making online in flash or toonboom.

Its not necessarily a bad thing.... lots of anime i love consists of lots of moving still images...

But to me atleast, this looks awful.

It amazes me what the general public will accept when they see animation....

[connor4190]

what do you think modern art is

not skill, art

[kikoWTF]

Maybe you should look on the meaning of the video and not how it is animated? I agree it's quite anoying that it looks like it's a slow uploading, but maybe that wasn't what the producer wanted to get out of this video. Maybe they wanted still images so that people could see what they ment and how sick it is that we are fishing whales just to give it to our cats.

[dominiquewa]

You do know that not all art needs to look..."pretty", right? 'Cause I don't think you know that. You shouldn't fucking diss others art. It is quite rude. Hey, at least it has a meaning.

[dominiquewa]

@quikmasta It said your comment has received too many negative votes... so it couldn't have been only me who did it! Also, I was like... 14 back then, so I didn't really know what I was talking about (I don't really know what I'm talking about now, either, I'm still learning and what not). But, in my opinion, it isn't pretty. It's cool, but not pretty. It could be better, but I enjoy it, because it's silly and entertaining!

And thanks for calling me awesome in a sarcastic way..MM YES.

[quikmasta]

@dominiquewa Im sorry, annonymity and a bit of anger that day made me over-react. I was saying modest mouse are awesome, i think i ran out of space. I still dislike this video a lot if im honest. Its just that I really like modest mouse, I should finish the animation myself for nothing if I care that much. I doubt I ever insulted anyone tho, it was probably an animation studio that made this. I wonder how bad my comment was that got removed =P

[davidb1016]

why did heath ledger have to die!!!!

[julianaariza84]

Its awesome, thats the way nature should treat us for all the damage human has caused to it. This video is a very creative way to call our attention, please, stop all the haunting, not just whales, but everything, we must stop the destruction! recycle, be an activist of ur community, we can make a difference. Thanks Heath for ur last master piece.

[Goizanebb]

Es un video buenísimo para hacer llegar el mensaje del sufrimiento de las ballenas a manos del hombre.

Los dibujos son muy buenos, y me encanta la caracterización del sol, que se esconde horrorizado durante la caza

[midprod]

AMAZING!

[delft89]

simplemente excelente

[tommillerisretarded]

this is not a music video, this is art! and it's a masterpiece!

[ConstantReinvention]

It really anchors into how powerful the message is.

[dansalar]

genial el video esta esta produccion es increible con producciones como esta Heat seguira vivo

[DRSlol]

Amazing.

[jrpa50]

simplemente excelente.. felicitaciones por este video.. realmente conmovedor!

[TSCschwabe]

R.I.P Heath Ledger

i think he was the best actor ever

his act as the joker was the best performance i ve ever seen

all of the money of this video will be spent to save wals

very good !!!

[sleepyzebra11]

Is that true? all profits go to whales...?

[aldocroft]

excelente video! y la cancion de modest mouse es muy buena!

[ShuichiYouko]

me he quedado asombrado tanto por la concepcion como por la realizacion de este video... simplemente impresionante... gracias a Modest Mouse, y gracias a Heath, donde quiera que este!

[tresgatoseneltejado]

Heath aún me sorprende!!!
