The Tower of Misunderstanding

[pogisimel]

Dino, thank you for creating this story. It is a very real and touching story that should be read by all. At the end of the day, not every prince wins the battle, not every prince takes the princess for his bride, it got me through my own battles. Thank you...the key word is Acceptance...

[drday2003]

dino, its so strangely wonderful. this morning i found this book on my old bookshelf and 2 hours later, we connect and i see this. i miss you my dear friend =)

[scourge29]

I dont get the ending at all.

[iLIKEediting]

the music fits it really well

[TheMagicPin]

Amazing, so different than other short films on youtube.

[SEDooglass]

That was beautiful.

[staygoldorelse1]

very deep and full of soul, Im so sorry for your freind

[staygoldorelse1]

very deep, Im so sorry for your friend, i dont have that good of friends :(

[namelsess93]

I would like you to know..once again, that this video is really beautiful.

I am so glad, that they are people, who do see beauty within life.

Anyway.

If somebody could help me find this song, he or she'll make me really happy.:}

Have a nice day!

[societiescrazybreed]

..wow

that sort of animation usually freaks me out, but the music balanced it out well. i like

[scourge29]

What is the true meaning to this video?  What is the message?

[missmm1994]

ungrateful damsel.

[Akamiyatran]

wow :"> really nice video neh , just cant understand why at the end , the princess walk off to the distance ?

what is it mean

wew :x hope i'll have someone love me like that prince :D

nice work neh , love it :D

[BamKatrinuh]

I love how simple the words to this story are, but each phrase has a deeper meaning. Many chapters to a book are put into this story, and yet it holds the same emotion and meaning.

Beautiful.

why should he have to change and fight for someone? a relationship is a mutual thing and both people have to be even.

[LobeyaPrototype234]

Intresting, it's...very different from other storys with a princess locked up in a tower. I can feel how much this loss hurt you. I'm truly sorry.....

[tamachanusko]

Oh God..

When he pulled out his dagger.. I thought he was gonna stab himself like a emo.

[nyanya1018]

I so hate that self centered princess! she could've atleast thanked the prince for bashing out all the bricks and killing himself just to free her again!

[innervoicechan]

Hey, I actually own the book version of this story! I was so surprised to randomly stumble across this on Youtube and recognize it! It's always been a lovely story, but I'm so glad you made this video, it's 10x more beautiful in this animated version. :) It works well as a short film and I like the art style!

I'm so sorry to hear about the sad story behind your writing, though.

[dinoignacio]

@innervoicechan thank you for the kind words. glad you like the animated version.

[xMallNinjax1]

this is fucking gay

[MaestroMike673]

I need someone to post a comment that gets highly rated that explains the deep metaphor of this video for confused simpletons such as myself.

[scourge29]

@MaestroMike673 Tell me if u get that comment

[catsmew]

Listen, if a relationship is founded on the premise of SAVING SOMEONE, you have already lost, k? You get into a relationship as equals to love each other, no to break down brick walls.That chick needs to learn to save herself, not wait for some dork come along and save her. What freaking century is she living in?She needs to be in therapy, get some self-esteem lessons, find a hobby, learn to better communicate. The dude needs to be less hero-wanna-be and more supportive and friendly guy. THE END

[Mrponchito1]

ahh!! i get it!! basiclly if you trully love the person u must understand and let them go if they cannot be with you! thats the way life is!! :)

[aurora3489]

I liked it!

[1016siobhan]

That was touching-nice job.sorry for your loss-peace-chevy

[iReuploadControversy]

i don't understand (brick grows out of ground next to me)

what the hell was that? (another brick grows.)

[batman3456]

he should have dick slap that bitch and go to hooters

[dinoignacio]

@batman3456 hahahahahaah! i don't condone such action but that is funny.

[Antoeknee19]

What was the original song???? Youtube is becoming obsessed with censoring!!

[dinoignacio]

@Antoeknee19 there as no original song... My good friend Goh Nakamura performed a live interpretation of it once but sadly was not recorded so I just used AudioSwap.

[juanistic]

@Antoeknee19 "A Ballad to Forget" by Soulwax

[blackdogleg]

wow !!! it´s all so friggin simple!!!!!! Why why why did I not see this ?

[medredix]

@pinTIMguin Lol, your funny X) So your defending these trolls then I suppose? Cause unless they are like five years old then there is no way that they don't know what they are mean/saying...oh wait maybe that's why I said what I said cause they will only truly know when it has happened =P

[Catcherintherye11111]

chinese dick i want that chinese dick chinese dick i want some chinese dick, when i fart it smells like toothpaste......

[saunjuan2]

i hate to seem like a pric but the story is not original heard it a thousand times before

i did enjoy the look and music to the video as to the story i will compare to avatar it looks beautiful the music is great but the story is recycled just my opinion

[kussin2008]

i like the music it sounds like " love don't love nobody" by the spinners/ phil perry

[Preston060796]

did he kill the princess? or himself? or what did he do with that dagger? im confused

[DavidVlogs]

Sad but fulfilling. The dagger of acceptance, if only it was as easy as pulling it out of a pocket.

[evrythingmusic100]

@DavidVlogs sad but so true

[MichaelVaggieri]

just goes to show, not all guys are messed up douche bags

[cocxblx]

Twat just happen'd...oh that's wright an unhappy ending good job.I love to see something different .

[Kromer0]

Good job man

[DJLazer365]

at first i saw this vid was all deep n junk and it is but the comment are fuckin hilarious

[dinoignacio]

@DJLazer365 I made this video. and yeah ... the comments are so funny! I love them!

[ChickenCritters]

Modern Art on youtube.

as funny and stupid as it may seem

i bet this is how the artist of this century will become famous. over youtube.

[HALOULTIMA]

lol the princess walks off in a distance with the prince looking at her ass while she goes over the horizon XD

[elwebmastervzla]

cierto.. en el fondo las torres nos mantienen lejos de ser vulnerables a las mentiras y el falso amor,,, excelente corto

[namelsess93]

So beautiful.....

God.

This is so personal to me. x}

How did you do that....

Beautiful.

[lovetohate028]

of course, even though each person is totally different, even to the extent that we all have a different definition and grasp on reality, we can all perfectly understand and care for some whore who doesn't know shit about "not giving a fuck"

[ruub1234]

.............................

[dibtio]

This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.

[DACLAWER]

the tower of masterbaiting

[beatlejuice1969]

@DACLAWER very artistic video. What a brilliant comment DACLAW. I suggest more time learning how to spell, and less time masturbating.

[HeyGuessWhoItsMe]

@DACLAWER LOL!!!1111111111

[Peachiko]

I don't understand suicide. I mean, I get it, I just could never cut into my own flesh, or pop pills, or anything like that, too much of a coward. Unfortunately, about the only thing you can do for people like that, is be there for them... =\

[lollieboy29]

wow.

that was the best story i ever heard

and seriously its really the best ever for me

i press the subscribe button in case you make some others

and i am also sorry about your loss.

[foxclown]

@lollieboy29 if this this the best story uve ever heard. u need to read more books you moron

[lollieboy29]

@foxclown im not a moron and i read a lot of books and i meant the best story on youtube and stop being so aggresive plz

[skydark]

As someone who struggled with nearly constant suicidal thoughts a few years back, this captures the essence of that stage perfectly. HOWEVER, people can try and help someone in a tower, but they will only succeed if /when that person wishes to come down.

Being a young adult can sometimes be the hardest.

[AdamRK88]

Amazing, and moving, that's all Ihave to say.

[Curas1]

BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Horrid! pulls out a mace of disdain n smites the unworthy!

loves arrow should not be deflected by the faulty towers of our steel n glass illusions

So wrong, so tragic to find beauty in disillusion....

[GatsugatsuSama]

accaptance is one thing, understanding is another, unspoken differences won't be solved trough acceptance, it will only lead to disconnection, just like in the video, but than why should any guy help a bitch wanting to roam free? she should just get outa the tower herself and not expect others to care about her if she doesn't give a damn.

[GatsugatsuSama]

i don't get it, a guy finally hears her out, frees her than she just dumbs him, okay she wants to explore the world herself but why doesn't she ask the prince to take her where she wants to go?

[rencrow]

@GatsugatsuSama

Because....death is a journey one must take alone.

[GatsugatsuSama]

@rencrow ohh i see so thats the meaning.. but still stupid isn't it? why go to die when you could lead a nice life with your prince able to accept you and willing to give anything to you?

[DivineNucleus]

Yep, Atlantis was here. So what can one man do with a baseball bat? --

[usenetposts]

One way or the other, she's alone. the story seems to have a rather antisocial moral.

[xxclayton]

@usenetposts read the description

[CleverDjembe]

In case someone hasn't pointed this out, it's difficult for some people to simultaneously hear words and read different words. So, if you want us to concentrate on the words appearing in the video, use instrumental - not vocal-based - music. Well, I suppose this might only apply to people for whom English is not their native tongue.

But thank you very much for the video, and I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what it feels like.

[uberbigbread]

lol 

[jessvochelle]

It's so beautyfull, I wish you could write another beautifull story like this

[loywen]

This guys more geared than my lv80 Troll mage!

[surfdocer]

creative

[166beads]

moral of the story.... the bitch gets what she wants.

[UNDESiRABLELASTWiLL]

uhmm.. I can really relate with the whole story.....

[MsMimi49]

beautiful,, really touching,, srry for ur lost,,

[geek2thextreme]

i still dont understand

[Subspec2010]

really good.... really really good.

[babikia]

in the end we have to accept death as a part of life and let go of our loved ones.

[Hemulen40]

Huh..I don´t get it ? ( :

[ArtFart001]

sorry to say this but you did put it on youtube for the whole world to critique, i am the only one that found this incredibly predictable, pedantic, and simplistic? please oh please tell me this was ONLY made for children. the dagger of acceptance??? if you're being metaphorical, be metaphorical. if you're being literal, be literal, this in between stuff falls way short. sorry, needs a rewrite...

[KingCajete]

@ArtFart001 I disagree, I think it's great because it can be interpreted in several different ways.

[KingCajete]

Dinoignacio can you please explain to the poetically declined, the meaning behind this animation. I was completely thrown off at the dagger of acceptance. So basically the woman was never really understood and then along came a man who made her happy at first... but then for what ever reason the relationship fell apart. But it could not be mended, and then.... ? I mean, am I on the right track here?

[lronmice]

Goodness, maybe if she was more clear about her intentions, her tower wouldn't be so goddamn tall.

[nooobStyle]

Please make more.

[AjayKilkenny]

Wow, that was incredibly deep.

[MacnCooley]

Listen to Cooley Mac'n

[KNIGHTANGELSBLADE]

Loved it! Makes a lot of sense for the true of hearts and every-man whom has travel this path. In short or in another way to put it for the simple-heads that think of the little-heads first; If you truly love something. Let it go, if it returns to you. It was meant to be, and if it does not. Learn to accept it or learn to appreciate the lessons in what you'd just learned

[Xcaliber7771]

This is amazing

[MinxKitty12]

2:31was the best part

[albertogonzalez37]

touching...

[Maximia76]

I have always loved your writing and animation!! Your imagination and skill always produce such great, meaningful, beautiful art. thank you.

[dinoignacio]

@Maximia76 Thanks Maximia!!!! 

[moocow456moo]

I think that was a very cute story. A little cheesy- LOL like a mouse- but other than that, It was pretty good.

[gillsue]

deep.

[chemistkat58]

It reminds me, to keep fighting the hateful bullies of the world. the haters, rude, self loathing creeps that cause this world to be blemished. chemistlkat58

[congounderground666]

'I'm sorry my prince but... I'm a lesbian'

[iCommenting]

I dont see how this is relevent to a suicide? but it had pretty good animation. :)

[chambernoir]

Sad, dark. . .

[GrisDismation]

Creatively cool!

[mikesenter6]

I'm shocked

[piller5]

At first glance i thought the title read

"The Tower of Masturbating"

But then i glanced again and lol'd about it

[willwork4superpowazz]

@piller5 HAHHHAHAH xD

[Tsubakiification]

@piller5 You're not the only one.

[peasantperson]

@piller5 Sounds like someone hasn't been getting any.

[MandyGram]

That was amazing! I'm sure your someone would have loved it. Keep on keeping on, okay?

[medredix]

Some of the comments on this video seem to of been made by people who resemble the crap on the bottom of my shoe =) I sure do hope that one day someone very close to them to will die a tragic and undeserving death. Its horrible to say that I know but all of you sarcastic simians will only understand once it has happened you. Any ways, I'm sorry for your loss Dinoignacio and this is a very beautiful piece that I'm sure on some level your princess would of loved.

Never give up. Never surrender!

[xzero707x]

@medredix shut your face

[medredix]

@xzero707x Please let me know what you would like me to use. I have nails, glue, and thread but hopefully you can provide a more creative solution. P.S. I have a big mouth lol =D

[dinoignacio]

@medredix Thanks for the kind words.

[medredix]

@dinoignacio =)

[yayogde74]

hahahahahaha all women are the same...

living inside their crazy little heart desires...

making up reality with sweet stories...

to sooth their souls XD

[Enaawa]

This is very touching.

[idoporges]

chick flick >.>

i think we all got this very ovious message btw ..... and i agree with it, justin bieber does sound like a little girl.

[loubroeschli]

@idoporges what does that have to do with justin bieber?

[idoporges]

@loubroeschli nothing its just funnier

[XxMemphis]

For some reason I farted all the way through watching this video. Like 10 farts in 2:31. Thumbs up for new record?

[pentytake5]

Very good work !

[MYEYESONECONOMY]

that princess is kind of a bitch to the dude.. sweet animation btw ^^

[bertlopezart]

if you like crazy fucked up comic book style art, please check out my channel, just put a new vid up , thnx

[drevilatwork]

it's funny how instead of spreading clear wisdom into the world we continue to make more and more highly interpretable art that only confuses people more. the things are simple: we all have a nature, man and woman, we are not monogam creatures. we don't controll atraction, attraction controls us. man should stop acting like wussys. only do something for someone if you don't expect anything back, especialy for woman.

[KingCajete]

@drevilatwork I was going to agree with you at first... but then I got to thinking. Things aren't black and white. Regardless if attraction controls us, we are bound by emotions and each of us act differently. Who is anyone to presume to tell you how to navigate your own emotions. Both men and women, many shades, many colors, many different interpretations.

[8ballasnow]

Waaaaa, nobody understands me, waaaa, this world is so hard, waaaaaa....

One down, 6 billion to go...

[morgan1313tink]

very nicely done.

[N3v3r3nd1ng]

Beautyful.

Oh and i don't think i've ever witnessed this much irony in a comment section.

A gathering of all the princes who wielded their swords of misunderstanding and still are . . . Wield on brothers. Wield untill your arms fall off.

[dinoignacio]

@N3v3r3nd1ng it's funny really. thanks for the comment.

[Fara1981]

Excellent work...I greatly enjoyed watching this.

[bigrockthing]

This was an interesting storybut twas way too emo...

No one needs to be understood or even accepted...

It's more fun to try not to be...

:)

[MzVictoriaStar]

This is a beautiful and perfectly understandable story, Almost as if you wrote it for me, and MR S0ulPiece, she's not saying F U nice guy, This is simply not something you cannot understand without wisdom. If it wasnt for his ACCEPTANCE she would have never been empowered to the point that she COULD venture out into the world. HE IS AS THE MOST POWERFUL WIZARD IN THE WORLD BY SIMPLY BEING LOVE. She is forever indebted and he will always be remembered.

[Teddyk5555]

More droll and self celebration of female need to be unique, remote and yet sought after, subdued but dominant, logical and oh so illogical.

[Jennasofly]

Great storyline! Loved it!

[Seiferzed]

does this mean she is a lesbian .. ? : /

[adrianp131]

@Seiferzed wow u say that in a sad story ...?

[AmongFire]

@Seiferzed

REaLLY?! HOW MUCH OF A FREAKIN MORON ARE U?

[Techanamii]

@Seiferzed just because she refused him doesn't mean she is a lesbian

[powerofmusicX57]

@Seiferzed you're a dick. ._.

[peterJJ91]

I found)

great song

[kredenax]

i thought the title said: The Tower of Masturbating.. lol

[InDaClub12]

@kredenax I swear i couldn't stop laughing dude... ;)

[peterJJ91]

What song?

[peterJJ91]

nice)

[moderneros]

haha wow it's amazing all the comments that come declaring this girl a bitch and ungrateful ... what does she owe the prince? Some people sure must think highly of themselves to think if a guy does something incredible for a girl out of love she is obligated to fall in love in return. She had her own desires, her own dreams and he finally realized that and let her go, out of that very same love. It's a tragic story that his love was unrequited but it doesn't reflect poorly on the princess.

[niteshmurti]

wow! this was touching!

[litterboxcatband]

very cool.. I liked it a lot

[stevan5000]

@kelleyclip bitch, he just saved you from a fockin tower! you at least can give him a chance, "she doesn't own him anything"... fucking whore.

[lala7993]

@stevan5000 i like that you're calling her a fuckin whore because she says its ok to not put out just because someone does something nice for you. you're gross.

[ccricers]

Bart Simpson said it best "I want you (the girl) to act the same way two days in a row!"

[phreak506]

to travel in the heart of love one must battle the tides of time to prove there is nothing to stand in the way of love that is meant to be, there is not a stone on earth that can stand in my way to be with the one i am destin to be with.

[BUMPlogic]

He loved her, he tried to save her, she didn't want to be saved, he kept her here against her will, he saw himself the pain he caused her, and out of love he let her go. When the higher power calls, there is no ignoring it, some people just know when it's there time. Thats how this made me feel. My chest hurts :( I've tried to save people before.

[bubblesmgee]

the girl obviously had other places to go & other things to see b/c she never got a chance to live yet b/c she's been stuck up in a tower & the prince could not understand y she chose that instead of him, & she had to do that on her own

[BUMPlogic]

the music fits it fine.

[MrMisfitToyz]

I don't think the guy made it in the end... He needed to accept the fact that she didn't want to be with him... And it hurt, but I'm sure it didn't hurt as much as the Knife of Acceptance... Cause he was the one who needed to accept... Not the tower... Poor guy, she didn't even look back afterwards...

[eluap]

The title does sound a bit Monty Python, though...

[bubblesmgee]

@eluap We'd be oblivious to everything, & there would be no point to anything

[insertcooluser]

There are things i really love about this and there are things i fucking hate about it. i love the animation and approach, but i hate the whole emo-ness of it.
