The scientist sought to create a being capable of destroying everything, ironically he ended up destroying him and himself. Interesting animation concept.
Im surprised that an eastern european animation from 1976 was so ahead of the curve when it comes to sci fi topics like self replicating machines that potentially become an apocalyptic threat Ontop of that i find it interesting that the machines eventually through evolution against competition turn into creatures that resemble crabs more and more... though i guess its not too surprising considering the fact that crabs are pretty much biological perfection
@@gg.1739 He had a well thought out comment; and you just reply with that. Wow you are SUCH the intellectual; heres your reddit gold. In all seriousness; why even reply?
It's a shame I've never seen it before. Definitely a hidden gem of Soviet Anti-militarist animation, like "Polygon", "The will come the soft rains" etc. Style and message are timeless!
I know the scale is off, but between how the robots create more of themselves and the eventual escalation, loss of control, and self-destruction, I get the feeling this might be one of the earliest depictions of Self-Replicating Nanites, as well as a potential SRN apocalypse (consuming everything uncontrollably until nothing is left but themselves).
I understand the narrative and meaning, but I just find the short film so cool just the idea at face value without any deeper inspection is cool like a supervillain who's plan backfired and the hero didn't even need to move a finger 😂
Wow this is so deep. But like actually though, it criticizes the dangers of a system ran on a zero sum game. Projecting fears of the eventual self cannibalization of social systems in which everyone fends for themself while also implying that such things appear natural with the personification of a crab. A creature with an unusual evolutionary history. Though it makes it seem natural through its choice of creature, it also implies that such system doesn't have to be the only one, as it is staged as a controlled expirement, set up by an outside party. Implying that the system in question is created by outside parties; with dreams of amassing an even larger army of creatures made by the system. But alas, there is not enough metal to satiate the crab. And begins to eat itself like a starved creature.
Everyone is analysing the implications of the cannibalisation of society or the destructive perfection of the ever evolving military industrial complex that is essentially holding a gun to the head of the world just to make sure the other guy is deader before we're all french fries. I like this because it shows a really clever phenomena in progress: Carcinization, the process by which many organisms evolve into the same animal, usually a crab, as it is an efficient body structure. the robots were left to evolve, those that could take resources more efficiently lived to reproduce, and so they would be dominant and produce more offspring. their offspring would be mutant, and as they mutated at a rapid rate they were able to adapt quickly filling new niches, and so those with successful lineages reproduced more. eventually the final result mimics nature, the crab, one of the most prominent forms of life in the see, a body type so successful that even an artificial lifeform ended up at this evolutionary perfection.
carcinization is often misunderstood. In fact, this phenomenon takes plac only for decapode crustaceans. So, everything which is derived from crab-like animals (lobster etc). Thus, it is not such a common phenomenon, just the "same adaptation under same conditions" for a precise order of animals. There is a lot of forms which are similarly well-suited under precise conditions (fish-like body plan, snake-like one, slug-like, derived parasite...). However, they don't echoe so much on media, idk why. But keep in mind that it is not the "ultimate step of evolution", it is very conditional. NB: note the importance of the features a species has at the beginning of its evolution to another form. it is the principal limit to evolution: the incapacity to move away from initial features.
This is sooo cool. The art style is very interesting, reminding me of Bruno Bozzetto's animations. The story is amazing too. I see a metaphor of the self cannibalization of humankind.
I'm here because 2 minutes of it were show to me in instagram or Facebook. When i read there: " watch the full animation: it gets weirder than here". I need to gind out here in RUclips it. Thanks for posting
I find the analogy between animals and robots interesting. To me its as if they are saying that animals, like us humans, resemble a biological machine. When each one dies, it was as lifeless as when it began. The exaggerated reproductive system is also deeply robotic which was fascinating
since they also evolve at a rapid pace, it's clear that the scientist designed them with the idea that they would keep eating and reproducing until they began to mutate, and so those that mutated with beneficial adaptations survived and others did not. eventually this led to the perfect fighting machine for the scientist's dream of conquest, funnily enough it mirrors the real world phenomena of Carcinization, the process by which many different separate species evolve into the same animal, which is often some form of crab like with the fighting robot.
I have never seen such original science fiction from this time. I myself see this art as truly brilliant 👏 😊 Many people will see as the dedication 💯 👌 of the artist Creative genius 👌 😊
If there is even one of those miniature tiny first version crabs left that he forgot to turn off, with that pile of metal that the big crab left from its explosion, we could start the thing all over again accidentally
I am just wondering, did the soldier guy create the big crab by accident? He used a boulder to crush a few crabs, and maybe a robot saw that and learned from it and became the large crab in the end
Muy interesante y sorprendente animación... bastante chocante inclusive... que en apenas diez minutos toca una multiplicidad de temas candentes... La ambición desmedida con fines de dominación, la experimentación con tecnologías secretas pensadas para un uso bélico y destructivo, la fantasía demencial del poder en su afán de preservarse, la locura autodestructiva que puede apoderarse incluso de los inventos tecnológicos, etc, etc... Da mucho que pensar.... y como alguien dijo por ahí en los comentarios, para ser de 1976, resulta muy actual.
This looks like some obscure sesame street animated segment from the 1970s- 80s I can't help imagine seeing this sketch wedged in between a scene with Kermit the frog on the letter W and a scene with Ernie & bert. Edit: Tell you the truth if this was an actual sesame street sketch it would be a very messed up one. I honestly would have nightmares about that giant metal crab.
This might have been based on a science fiction short story from the 1970's. I definitely remember it, and it had an evolved crab harvest the scientist's fillings.
