***PLEASE READ BEFORE VIEWING***
Must be 13 years or older to view this video due to some scenes of violence and difficult subject matter.
I have worked on this for about a week now and finally finished last night. Although the story behind this video is tragic, I think I succeeded in portraying it with the utmost respect.
I ask please that all of you watch the video first and see if you can understand it. I will post a summary below for those who have questions. This is my first video using real life issues, so I hope it doesn't offend anybody. I am actually quite proud of this video because it feels so real to me. So, please I ask that you comment and let me know what you thought. Thank you everybody. I promise the next video will be happier. Take care.

Plot:
Sepia colors are the past. Black and White colors are the present.
Cinderella and Dimitri fall in love and get married. They have three beautiful children: Jim, Jane, and little Melody. At first the marriage goes fine with a few ups and downs, but nothing out of the ordinary.
As the years go by, Dimitri becomes violent with Cinderella and very neglectful with the children. Jim, Jane, and Melody begin to fear their father. They become aware of his horrid treatment towards their mother and do not know what to do to help her. Jim, being the oldest, feels responsible for Cinderella's pain. All he wanted was for his family to be safe and happy. He sees that they are falling apart and begins to curse his father for their unhappiness.
On one occasion, the youngest, Melody, tries to run away, but Jim stops her, trying to reassure her that everything will be fine. He is always trying to put the family back together.
One day, Dimitri informs Cinderella that he has had enough of her and is leaving with another. Cinderella is torn at first, but realizes that this is the best for her family. She rushes to tell Jane the good news. Jim, unfortunately, does not hear this. He was outside remembering all the fights and sadness that he went through in his life because of his father. He follows Dimitri and confronts him. Out of rage or madness, Jim does something he will never be able to take back, and he has shattered his family forever.
Basically, I am trying to say that one act of violence is not justified with another. It has serious consequences, and in the end, you don't lose one person...you end up losing two.
omg im like really crying that was really sad but i dont like how jim killed his dad but it was really good. Great job :) *sniff sniff*

@ilovearielandjim Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry you didn't like the ending. I just wanted to show that these things do happen, and everything doesn't always have a happy ending if you don't get help.

@GermenGirl14 He's not really the bad guy. This is a tragedy based on a true story.
