RYAN

Thanks for paying homage to that guy.
Who can remember an artist no one knew?
That was fantastic for us in 21st century who need now real art not only what sells fastest and most.
Thanks WWJD

Thanks for this posting. It is great. mishkin78 - you can't be serious. This is clearly about fame, and about channeling energy into work. Recognition is elusive, and termporal, just ask Tiger W. So it is rare to show the underbelly of it and to make a film. Most of us aspire to the place Ryan held for a short time, and never get there. He was a talented kid. A good seed on fertile soil, but the stones were just below the surface, and when the sun boiled - he withered. Good film!

hahaha. dude your funny

In the end, I feel that Ryan's real problem was his inability to accept that he was Canadian. It's very hard to accept that one is Canadian, and doing something about it can be an even more daunting challenge. It breaks my heart to see that millions in North America are currently affected by Canadianism, and that the world turns a blind eye to this issue.

The challenge we face in this world is acceptance. Ryan found that, in the end, art still had to make money, which required him to mold to what others wanted; something he wasn't willing to do. It was at this point he lost his largest inspiration: the world. He found it to be an unwelcome place for him, so he chose to let it pass him over. Drugs allowed him to escape momentarily but, in the end, the only real escape for him is to wait till he withered away. Death accepts all.

I absolutely love Ryan's little monologue near the end about deprivation and the power of money and all that. This movie makes me kind of nervous about what will happen to me once I'm out of art school.

I really like this. It's unusual for relatively low-budget computer animations to be able to show as much emotion in body language as the ones here.

This is freaking awesome!!!

Powerful depiction with intense emotion, my favorite short film. Sad and true.

Cool, I go to the shitty school that produced this short video
