Rainbow Star Productions It makes wish that the robots made copies of us before we leave this world by nuclear or other catastrophic means, doesn't it? I wish technology would hurry up and do it now.
@@zachabsher5528 I think actually the horrible reality here is that in a horrific moment at the end, the robot DOES care. It gains consciousnesses, it realizes what is going on, it realized that is is doomed to this forever. But it knows where the mainframe is, in that moment when it became conscious and make decisions, only one decision burned trough its mind clearly: End this. End me. Now.
It's not impossible, tho this movie was written after Ray Bradbury's short story "There will come soft rains" (title itself is named after a 1918 poem, which is the bit of narration you hear at the end). Bradbury's text is less "intense" and dramatic as this film, but the message is the same. As for Fallout, Bradbury's description of a fully automated house that isn't aware of the end of the world is certainly the reason why msot Fallout robots doesn't "understand" the war. It's certain that the fallout authors know this story, because in Fallout 3, in a specific house, you can enter a command on a terminal for the house to read the poem "There will come soft rains".
The classic fallout intro definitely is what the end reminded me of. The tv screen showing a better world against the destruction, music playing on a record
This haunting film evokes the lines of dialogue of the cult classic "Repo Man" by the character J. Frank Parnell, describing the effects of a neutron bomb: "Eyes melt, skin explodes; everybody dead!"
I've been looking for this video for YEARS. It has stayed with me since the first time I saw it. I always thought it was by Isaac Asimov, not Ray Bradbury. I was wrong.
I have to think about the crew that worked on this short and if they ever thought that the threat of nuclear war would end. It would be painful to tell them that after all this time, we're right back where we started.
Absolutely adore the austerity of old Soviet animation. Definitely does bring up the fear of nuclear winter all afresh unfortunately, with us on the precipice of... whatever the next few years will hold... but that aside, genuinely gorgeous gradient theory on display
The optical sensors were destroyed when it rammed the wall, which is why it attacked it's own power core, as it "heard" the bird and blindly attacked the sound.
This fictious story is sed upon days in 2026 and 2027 though this movie was produced in 1984. Quite coincidently, some people believe that a war would break out between the United States and China over Taiwan in 2026-2027. This animation is really ominous.
I would love to know your guys' opinion on this but I understood this movie in 2 ways: The first one being obvious, we do not matter, neither does our death, we cannot deny that when we eventually die, it will be as we had never even lived, it will simply be irrelevant to the bigger pricture. The second way I understood this movie might make more sense, I understood it as a critique of the Soviet system, as you can see the robot, just like the Soviet government does not care about its people, their absence or deeper needs, it provides to them a fake sense of comfort/satisfaction in order to dampen the monotone, pointless and repetivive lives they are living. But then, all of a suden, a white pidgeon comes in as a sign of freedom, it does not follow the rules set, it does not follow any norms and the Soviet system(robot) tries tearing down everything in its path(including, quite clearly, religion) but in the end, the robot gets ahead of itself, biting itself in the ass and ruining everything it had im guessing that is due to the rampant corruption and mismanagment of the Soviet system. But still, in the end, the white pidgeon tries to get out through the TV screen showing us a gorgeous and sunny field, which I understood as the fake promise of freedom that is in place in many countries today where we live in a false sense of freedom thinking that everything is fine. In the end, both of these interpretations could be false and just me bullshiting, but for now this is the best way I could explain this to myself, also in case there are any spelling errors, I apologise since English isnt my first language.
Your second interpretation is really intriguing. I think you`re correct. This animation criticizes the Soviet system implicitly . But it also points an accusing finger at our democratic system as well. We tend to be complacent about our political system, but democracy is not infallible. We have to keep critical eyes on not only despotism but also democracy itself in order to repeat the same mistake as the Weimer Republic made in 1930`s.

Man i just got frighten watching this,specially nowadays with all these A.i thing going on and just think what if one day i return and forget the password.
Love this short, Is got some "Metal Hurlant" vibes, to think that this was made three years later from the film, the VHS static make it more creppy and uncanny, also, were pretty close to the year 2026, does anybody think that the prophecy of the short will be fulfilled?
Dear-God... That was like watching some creepy Monty Python short! "Set in a Cold-war era" or not, that was some disturbing imagery! I'm only four minutes in at this point & already I can see considerable deviations from Mr. Bradbury's story... Is this the way Soviet-bloc countries have always thought or just during that time? UGH-ly!
The poetic darkness seems very Russian/Soviet to me, I feel like Western art rarely achieves the same kind of morbid and depressing atmospheres, I can only think of David Lynch or Francis Bacon.
Tomato Lemon Interestingly, I came across this after watching a British apocalyptic short from the Cold War, so it's very much an imagery that is shared by both sides, and indeed an idea that still inspires the imagination of many artists and people today, just have a look at the popularity of the Fallout series of video games. Check this British cartoon from 1956 out for evidence about Western sentiments. It's quite graphic at one point, and it shares the same depressing, dark tone as this one, although it is set during the blast itself.
The 80's were very gloomy, with Reagan and Thatcher piling up their militant rhetoric and the whole futile resignation and disappointment of the Stagnation Era USSR. I was just a kid, but was preparing to die from a nuclear blast at any moment. Films like this, "The Day After" (yes, they showed it in the USSR) and "Dead Man's Letters" didn't help. I used to have nightmares about my back set on fire every night and would wake up screaming and covered in cold sweat. They were extremely realistic. Granted, I was smarter and more aware of these things than other kids. We were doing civil defense in school, but it all seemed pointless, with tens of thousands of thermonuclear warheads pointed at us. I remember talking to a friend and both of us deciding that the best place to be when it happened, would be near the epicenter. My dad was a physicist. Every times they talked about the nuclear buildup, SDI, war and politics on TV, I kept asking him if we're going to have a nuclear war soon and he kept answering "no". I could tell that he was lying. What really sucks, is that it's starting to feel like it did back then right now. US and Russia are back at each others' throats and it's potentially even more dangerous, for several reasons. I feel sad that another generation of children will have to grow up with the same fears.
i like to think that the reason the ashes were so in order to their original form in the beginning is because the robot is so desperately trying to return to his normal duties that he has to tidy them together each morning in order to achieve what he once had, kind of like an abandoned dog
They really nailed how we live in the 21st century! Every day the creepy spike-faced dive-masked robot awakes me at 0700 according to me red LED digital watch. (We no longer use "AM/PM".) My narrow coffin-bed levers me up and drops me into my shoes. I have a breakfast of a single egg, sunny side up, no salt, pepper, toast or bacon. A cup of coffee, black. While I get into my coveralls and gas mask, I listen to a record from the 1940s on my grammophone. So, like, did everyone get flash-burned in their beds?

That last part, where the bird is desperately trying to fly into that beautiful field, just kills me.
You mean it made you sad right, it didn’t legitimately kill you right?
110%, you said it well.
It made me laugh a bit lol
@@Dreadnought358 I think it did kill him :/. Draggo Long didn't answer back ...
Oh no 😕

Wow that's terribly awesome. I'm from Uzbekistan(where this cartoon was released) and honestly never ever seen this till today!
Amazing home defence system, just have your robotic butler smash into everything with giant spikes
I actually found this really sad. The robots don't understand that they're dead and they go on without the humans and it made me cry for the robots.
Rainbow Star Productions lol the robots don't care
Rainbow Star Productions It makes wish that the robots made copies of us before we leave this world by nuclear or other catastrophic means, doesn't it? I wish technology would hurry up and do it now.
Imagine how sad it would be if the robots were truly sentient and comprehended that there is now no reason for them to exist?
@@zachabsher5528 I think actually the horrible reality here is that in a horrific moment at the end, the robot DOES care. It gains consciousnesses, it realizes what is going on, it realized that is is doomed to this forever.

Dumb
Brilliant! Very effective post-apocalypse animation. They pushed Bradbury into some startling images. Very interesting adaptation.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG, I watched this as a kid from the early 2ks. I could never find it!
Did this inspire the creators of fallout in some way ? Nuclear war, 50s music, dark humor and creepy house managing robots.. It can't be a coïncidence
exactly what I thought, too many simlarities.
It's not impossible, tho this movie was written after Ray Bradbury's short story "There will come soft rains" (title itself is named after a 1918 poem, which is the bit of narration you hear at the end).

It's certain that the fallout authors know this story, because in Fallout 3, in a specific house, you can enter a command on a terminal for the house to read the poem "There will come soft rains".
It isn't a coincidence, in the very first Fallout there are some references (oblique and indirect references) to the story.
The classic fallout intro definitely is what the end reminded me of. The tv screen showing a better world against the destruction, music playing on a record
Oh come on, you guys are so dumb. Fallout is cheesy retro nuclear crap.
Seriously. Your video games are trash. Read a book.
War, war never changes
This haunting film evokes the lines of dialogue of the cult classic "Repo Man" by the character J. Frank Parnell, describing the effects of a neutron bomb: "Eyes melt, skin explodes; everybody dead!"

Yeah, you can see this made by Nozim Tulakhojaev - an Uzbek movie producer.
It's like a dog who lost its owners.
why would anybody have a robot like that!? speaking like it would kill and rape you.
I have to think about the crew that worked on this short and if they ever thought that the threat of nuclear war would end. It would be painful to tell them that after all this time, we're right back where we started.
This is beautiful, thank you for uploading this
Urgh, I fucking hate that machine. Thank god that the bird didn't get killed.
That date scares me lmao I live in California
2 years left till this fellas
My all time favorite ray bradburry short story. I wish this where a little closer to the source material, but still pretty good.
If a robot sets off a nuclear bomb by smashing itself into his processor and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Yes and No
So long as it isn't in space
Both of the folks who replied before me are correct.
I wonder if this is what the US looks like in Akira'a universe.
Ardoron Ro that's an interesting thought
Ardoron Ro A massive dump and the government is nonexistent.
From which movie is thr picture in your profile?
I love how this movie gets mentioned almost everywhere
Beautifuuull! The food is beautifully drawn, and pretty crafty story, symbolism and around the time when the mountains sing timelessly.
It’s like a Twilight Zone episode…disturbing or beautiful, and beyond interesting.
Wow wtf this is trippy af and I've only made it halfway through definitely crazy and a little surreal
Absolutely adore the austerity of old Soviet animation.
Definitely does bring up the fear of nuclear winter all afresh unfortunately, with us on the precipice of... whatever the next few years will hold... but that aside, genuinely gorgeous gradient theory on display
Anyone know what the meaning of that stuff that looked like living tissue behind the eyes of the robot when it tried to kill the bird was about?
Patrick Ellis maybe the animator want to tell us that the robot is crying, but yeah robot dont have tears so the animator replace it with that..
The optical sensors were destroyed when it rammed the wall, which is why it attacked it's own power core, as it "heard" the bird and blindly attacked the sound.

Was looking for this film for a while! I remember it was post apocalyptic and set on december 31st but didn't remember it was soviet animation.
I wonder if they really thought that Americans played the Star-Spangled Banner on New Year's Day morning.
I would love to know your guys' opinion on this but I understood this movie in 2 ways:

From 1979 to 1985 the Cold War's tensions rised again after the soviet invasion in Afghanistan. It explains everything.
