  • ooh that Mitch

  • Is this Some kind of cinematic made or is it a toy?

  • this is incredible! is it filmed in real time or stop motion?

  • Good job BRAVO!!!!

  • I would love to see a movie done in this style!

  • Incredibly real and sad.

  • Great after credit gag!

  • omg this is so cool!!! andi'monly in the first minute!

  • brilliant!

  • Wow, this is creepy and awesome at the same time.

  • loverrrrly.....

    where can i get the sound track from...

    i love the background music....

  • hahahaha she hits him with a frying pan at the end

  • wh happen to his wife in the end?i did nt see her at all in the end

  • @ujay93 wow ur dumb, she left, that's why she's not there.

  • Genius! This was so unique and awesome, they should consider making a second one!

  • OMG!!!!

  • That was wicked cleaver! Great job!

    -EngineerMK

  • wow that was great :)

    I think of The Truman Show when i see this. it's amazing how it recognizes all the faults of such 'paradise', while putting emphasis on the burdens of perpetual perfection.

    what a cold, clinical world.

  • hi jenelle!

  • I was just waiting for that bit after the credits. Loved the short!

  • kinda' freaky

  • he should have bent his wife over in the kitchen, beat the sh*t outta mitch after the predictable boss gave that knob the promotion and drove right through the church."then he would have been late" lol, ending sucked but that was brilliant man really, was the set premade or did u build that? if so you've got moxy, beotch

  • The ending is awesome!

    Very creepy though...

  • lighttaxy

    men on earth get one --- stop wheels --- for 7 days --- and start to dance by music --- get one now to see all

  • дермо блят

  • is this great!!!

  • The idea and animation are great, but call me crazy for wanting an actual ending

  • nothing but great.

  • What on earth are you talking about?

  • In essence you are being stupid by thinking that its meaning is: church is good. i think it is saying what paradise would be like. it would be boring, repetitive, never ending, and certainly not perfect.

  • Jesse Rosensweet does it again!

    Amazing film :)

  • i like the end

  • Why aren't there new videos up in the screening room? It says every Friday. Am I missing something?

  • well done, 5 stars

  • At 4:55 it looks like its showing the middle finger.

  • that was incredible.

  • ok, people, come on now, what was the point? put yer thinking caps on...

  • that sounded gay...

  • WOW. cute video. we likey. is it lik a doll house or sumthin? either way. NICE!

  • Very cool. Great animation.

    I really like the idea that we're all following the same tracks everyday and doing the exact same thing every day, not going anywhere new. I expected John to go completely postal at work, lol.

    And I just can't wrap my head around toys taking a leak, ROFL!

  • one: "...that we're all following the same tracks everyday and doing the exact same thing every day,not going anywhere new....." Now Rosensweet was already very kind to the character John; as for my life, an architectural draftsman for 38 years(since 1963), and had been fired countless times, and finally the wife divorced me after 21 years later,and I still go on untill now...alone! That is the "Death of a Draftsman"!---dancewu(dot)net

  • that is paradise.hmmmm

    what a great life.

  • Wow, what a great production - cheers to Jesse Rosensweet to the hard work that was put into creating this excellent view of life. Sometimes, we find ourselves in this scenario, performing the same monotonous actions (just like wound up robots). We can't seem to escape from the norm, sticking only to the actions which we find to be the right way to succeeding in our life. However, sometimes we need to take that left turn and try to discover what our greater meaning is of life. Superb!

  • I wanna know what happens next that is how good it was Im over like did the wife leave or was she still laying in bed

  • Awesome. That must've taken alot of work. Loved the little ending lol

    Paradise = Ignorance

  • Very cool

  • not gay enough.

  • nice, well done, is this animated or some wierd dutch machine doll house?

  • very well done.

  • lol the perfect American life

  • this is pretty creative. well done.

  • that's cool but disturbing...

  • if anyone wants to laugh type in ilkdaddy and watch a stupid kid throw a ball at his face

  • Really liked it. Kind of reminds me of The Truman Show, in a way.

  • Love it! so well-made, so poignant, so beautifully created....awesome, awesome...

  • Love it! I'm so happy someone somewhere still believes in the arts....really well-done....

  • Awesome!

  • simply amazing.

  • wow

  • A little bit like the truman show, this was really awesome good job.

  • for some odd reason idk why but reminds me of No Surprises by radiohead, the lyrics to the song, not the video

  • kind of creepy but otherwise pretty cool

  • wow¡ best video i have seen lately

  • 'cause her place is in the Kitchen... muahaha

  • hey how come the mom didnt pee in the morning like the dad, i mean women are humans too. FIX IT THEN RESUBMIT BWAHAHHA I AM THE MASTER OF MY BEDROOM!!11!!!!>!>!>?!//1/!!?!­!14

  • Mom? Dad? Where were the kids exactly? They were just a couple. And it looked like it was supposed to be based in the 50s or something, when women would rather have men believe they didn't pee at all XD

  • Awsome video all it needed was a happy ending or you know... any happyness... at all

  • Bravo!

  • watch the whole thing even the credits

  • Really good. I enjoyed it.

  • WTFFFFFFF

  • great

  • I liked it ....ALOT Great video..

  • "Geez, that ending sucks! Why don't you make it so that ... so that Lardass goes home and he shoots his father, then he runs away an', and he joins the Texas Rangers. How about that?"

  • Great movie with a great message to go along with it. I really enjoyed it.

  • hu? i dont think i get it...? well i like the word scandalous... cause this video SUCKED! or actually it was more like... middle, but still who the fuck makes this gind of movies

  • Great stuff

  • I liked it, interesting, great effects and I think a good story line...would like to see more.

  • class! a bit sad but people really need to wake up :)

  • Very good work!

  • great!

  • I liked it, but the ending sucked

  • great animation

    really well-done

    just the ending really sucked

    i thought they were gonna play more with the word "paradise"

    i don't know,I was expecting some better

  • Well, as paradise is a synonym for utopia, and every utopia is a distopia, they didn't need to make a great paradise. Where the movie started may have already been showing how imperfect it was becoming after it was first called "paradise."

  • Nice point, I see what your saying. I guess I was just looking for more of a mind-blowing ending.

  • I did like the "I'm not even late...*le sigh*" at the end though :P

    BTW, I like your thumbnail pic.

  • greaat work!!

    check out our work when u find the time!

  • Nice and informative vid, thanks!!

  • Good, but the ending wasnt the life changing moral lesson I was hoping for.

  • 7:45 lol

  • funny lol

  • Reminds me of the Truman Show, except this time it's not the huge dome that traps him, but himself. In real life, we often do the same: we work, we retire, we die. It's the same thing everyday. Why doesn't anyone try following their dreams?

    Very well done, I give you a 12/10XD

  • I was kind of hoping for John going postal and bringing a Kalashnikov to work and showing them how to "close out". But him getting whacked by his wife was refreshing.

  • hahaha! me too

  • Hmm, awesome video...though I didn't like the ending. just my opinion. I was expecting at least 2 minutes worth ending-stuff. Instead it was just ONE scene.

  • i watched this sober..gave it a 4

    after a bong rip..gave it a 9

  • this is awesome nice job 5/5

  • Hilarious!!

    Movie of the year!

  • "I'm not even late..."

  • Good Video and Funny Ending!

  • beginning was kinda bad but end was AMAZING

  • was this stop motion or mechanic

  • Another awesome NFB short... wish it had a tighter ending though.

  • that was really good. wish it had an ending that brought it all together more tho

  • fabulous video..great work, congrats on feature..ur awesome!

  • Definitely some elements here for those of us who remember the 1950's.

    Five stars for that.

  • That was good. I liked the ending the best.

  • cool stuff. but the story wasnt rly that intresting

  • That was refreshingly original :-)

  • Cool :D

    Do they keep going over and over?

  • nice. unsatisfying ending, though.

  • Ahaha the end. xD

    You go girl!

  • def needs an ending

  • That was awesome.

  • good, but i think your missing and ending sumwhere

  • awesome

  • This reminds me or the truman show or pleasantville.

  • it shocked me how many people you need to realize 7 minutes of such a film

  • heey all subscribe plzz thx:D

  • i loved it wasnt satisfied with the ending but its still cool.

  • that was amazing! perfect example of harrison berberon by kurt vonnegut.

  • great way to show how we are subscribed to our own lives without even knowing it.

  • that could've been so much better. was almost exactly like the truman show with a track.

  • omg this kinda made me feel sad for him lol his wife left him aww lol 5/5! great movie
