  • Such a chillingly pessimistic message. Man reaches the logical conclusion of his development, only to find himself crowded and trapped.

  • and then it got weird...

  • lol?

  • @chicavampiro It's about the growth and development of a human being, although portrayed pessimistically as a result of politics in Svankmajer's country at the time. The growth is light-hearted, funny at times, but once the person reaches adulthood, they have nothing to do but wait for death, they have no other meaning. That's an incredibly simplified version of the message, but I'm sure you'll understand the symbolism if you watch it again with that in mind! :)

  • @dgomesman Basically - yeah! :)

  • @BlueVane Oh this video is that simple?

  • sorry I didn't get the message. Can someane explain it? I just found this disgusting and... iugh.

  • what did the brain use at 3:44 to make a solid knocking noise?

  • whoa...coolest thing eva.
