    Antonia is a 12 year old girl. She often has daydreams, in which she wonders of in to a magical far away forest, were she hides from the problems of the real world. One day, however, her father takes drastic measures and she has to face a decision.
    Is your inner peace an utopian state until you have finally escaped the grip of the society and its rules? Or is affirmation a faster way to your personal luck? And what are you supposed to do, if you have to answer this question at the age of 12?
    In the Animated Short "The Forest", the protagonist has to cope with this question and her hostile environment and finds a simple but radical solution.

      Not exactly 'becoming'. It's been this way for a long time. Kids weren't listened to that much even in the 1800's. Often parents would sent their children off to boarding school for ten years and then the kids would marry and leave their parents. Also the parents rarely spoke to their children.

    Honestly, after watching this, I think people take the gun too literally. At no point is she shown shooting anyone; she threatens the teacher, but the whole thing seems metaphorical. In this case, it's not a literal gun, and she's not truly threatening the teacher, by, for instance, saying "I'm going to kill you", but is being threatening in a different way, such as by promoting and stating radical ideas that make others uncomfortable.
    The gun itself seems like a metaphor for force and an instrument of change; by destroying the soulless machines in the school and the therapists office, this could be taken to say that the system itself is flawed and needs to be disposed of (and isn't that a synonym for 'killing'? Of course, we're killing ideas here, not people), so that something new (the flowers, vines, etc. that grow afterwards) can be made, that works better (or is perceived to work better).
    By destroying the signs of the soulless and parodied businesses, this too can be seen as a metaphor of change. Out with the old consumerist notions, in with a more organic and wholesome approach to life.
    Honestly, the most disturbing part of this video is how many comments show a lack of imagination.
    There's my two cents, do with it what you will.

      the girl felt bounded to society - it's laws and way of life and can't do what she wanted that had meaning to her such as go to a forest and get relief of pure freedom, she felt that living in a world to obtain knowledge to work for money in order to breath air for life was stressful. the forest to her was like true paradise - absolute freedom. i understand where this person was coming from. everyone too at least has a paradise to live life in freedom where we don't have to live by any rules or laws.

    The point of the video is to showcase how limited we are in our current system. Mandatory education is required for all children. The educational system discourages free thought, and prepares you for the fourty hour work week. Our bodies can be controled to go from home to school, or home to work, but our brains can't be controlled. We have the ability to change our system. Why passively go along with somthing that does not work?

      This is more about the larger picture of a jaded bandwagon society....it's called "mankind" and it has steadily faltered since it's beginning and it will be till it's end. Everyone us in existence knows the innocence of childhood, until we are born into a society that finds a poor individual in their depressions and a rich individual into their splendor...it is greed in the heart that conquers our world when the true pathway to purity is love,lending and sharing without the expectation of a gain in return. If you want to really rid of this disease that has infected practically all of us, then every single monetary unit needs to be removed and the principles of Christ put into the heart. It was the very scriptures of the Bible that forewarned against the paths of living life through the means of defining anything other than a what's living as precious to a heart.

    • @Gregarius91
      @Gregarius91 9 лет назад +14

      Thomas Ashley Very beautiful comment. Everything you said is spot on. Life is not about materialism. It's not about being the best. It's not about having the most money. Life is about cooperating amongst different types of individuals, to learn new lessons. When an individual can learn lessons he/she can grow spiritually. The current way we operate on this planet Is opposite from how we need to be acting. We have to stop senseless competition over material recources, and focus more on our spiritual well being.

    • @I3lob1
      @I3lob1 9 лет назад +2

      Thomas Ashley Oh yeah tell that those that have been burned at the stake during the withc hunt. Crusades. Jews. The spaniards during the Inquisiton days. Yeah they felt the love of the Christ for sure. Bah i think this our nature we are the demons and jailers of out own reality. Conquerors at heart and our purpose will always to dominate and destroy. I mean its what we are best at. All great empires were founded on superior force and intellect. To borrow a line from Ice and Fire Love cannot feed you,warm you,keep you company or help you. Rage,determination and fear will get you something tho. Hippie days are over. And war is coming.

    • @thomasashley5925
      @thomasashley5925 9 лет назад +1

      You're about as dumb as bricks! You don't even get what you are expressing. Try going casting your stones at those dead individuals who did such acts, it is exactly what you say it is...MANKIND! festered with self motive...There is not a single one of us that live off of puppets strings from heaven, just doesn't exist because it's not defining to love to apply control, so it's your own freedom to do as you please, and maybe you should ask yourself if your morgue of hate evolves a circumference away from your own freedoms and it even makes you angry to even see a smile...why? I will tell you so! Because you, my friend don't know how too under your destructive and self destructive greeds of illusions, if you don't find a light in your own darkness, you will stumble in your own paths just like every sinister fruitcake has in history...'And 'Ice and Fire' has only derived their lyrics from a fallen author of the 'Mein Kampf" or others who have fallen from these misguiding beliefs. And it is just prophetic that war will come, formally mentioned in Biblical scriptures, thus you choose yourself to be your own fool.... Matej Vlk, as you are still young, spend your energies in finding Christ, and then you will be off your crutches that influence your hate, stop being childish! May God bless you

    The gun doesn't represent violence. It represents how the girl is solving her problems. Society are the 'bad guys' and is trying to pull her away from the truth. The things that the teacher 'taught' with is the lies that society feeds to children. Not everything is a scam, which represents the forest. It's a 'happy place' where the beauty of the world lies. As Mikasa said, 'this world is cruel but this world is beautiful'. That's just a small theory I made up.

  • @sandpaige
    @sandpaige 10 лет назад +19

    I like this. The adolescent girl is seeing the world as it is truly with opened eyes, and doesn't want to conform, thus putting her into a state of depression. She seeks the peaceful forest, without noise. She is then stated as a troubled child, and is forced to take treatment, that takes away her willingness to reject society, and conform instead. She then has a mental breakdown, and is locked away forever in a insane asylum. Thus saying, if we reject society as an individual we're stated as "troubled" "crazy", which is completely true, and very sad.

      Stella Skondric It's a long story, but I will tell it in the shortest way possible.

Now I don't have any luck, because whatever I start I fail. My love life has been nonexistent for 10 years, and my health is deteriorating. I kinda lost my optimism after all of this started happening to me.

Expanding our imaginations, transforming Mars... destroying our economy.... economy. That's it. That's the problem. Economy. If we lived without money, we would save trees.... and lives. Think of the poor people, who have no money for food. If we offered things for free to each other, we could save so many lives! And it would be great.... all of Earth, working together to achieve living! Call me insane, or a communist, but I believe this is the way Earth could evolve! No more money! Just working together! So many more could live... and we could achieve more! (Quoting RUclipsr, Floramagicstars)

      But that's a very complex situation and could have a lot of potential flaws. If the world went back to jungles and forests everywhere, without society or economy, it would become anarchy. People would need to hunt to eat and animals aren't common enough in cities. Imagine how many people would starve. We also wouldn't have any houses, so what would we do for shelter? What if the shelter we found was too rare? People may be willing enough to kill others to take that shelter for themselves. This is why we need economy, to keep things from becoming anarchy. It would be nice to have more freedom, but not too much of it.

    she didn't have the right to remove people from the only world they could handle, but, they attacked her first - for her difference. she made the mistake of believing all people wanted what she had. as did they, thinking she was sick. her best move would have been to wait patiently for her escape, and to leave them in their wasted world. you can only save yourself. in doing so, you may find those seeking other escapees.

    You know I love video's like this for two reasons. First we have the video itself and that is one side, the initial message and story being told. But one of the most fascinating parts also is the interpretation of others. Art films are not to be take at face value, their to be critically analyzed. When one analyzes a film personal experience and bias is involved which reflects much of a persons personality and mentality. Ones take on say a film like this can give you almost a psychiatric reflection of the viewers mentality and thought process and personally I find that fascinating.

      Indeed. Another way to perceive it is in a fashion such as Social Triggers (thats my way of calling it anyways). Words or lines or even visuals that people instantly recognize and jump the gun on. A perfect example is the Swastika. Used by Nazi Germany as a symbol of Hitlers government we instantly think of him when we see it. But prior to that it was a mutli-cultural symbol of peace. We jump the gun (no pun intended) on things meaning.

We do regular activities and experiments to get our creativity flowing and they show us MANY, MANY different ways to do something and solve a problem. We also go through different types of learning, such as visual, interactive, etc. Everybody thats ever went to my school absolutely loves it there...

    • @Orlandocorvid
      @Orlandocorvid 6 лет назад

      well your one of the few lucky ones then. i got stuck in a school that doesn't give a shit about individuality and wants you to get high numbers on paper so the school looks good, and the kids? oh my god they're terrible. some teachers are getting severe stress because of how much they misbehave (the school cant or wont even do anything about all the troublemakers either!).
      i would honestly do anything to have a nice school like that, seriously. you must go to a much nicer and well kept up school (probably even richer than mine, my schools always begging for money), my school is run down and barely anything in there has changed (i saw some photos of when my mom went there in the 90s, and it looked exactly the same as it does now!). the only nice looking area in there is this college and career center building they added, but its really small and doesn't have alot of classes.
      alot of these people in the comments probably go to the same kind of school i do. just because your school is one of the few schools that are actually nice, doesnt meant that the rest of our schools are perfect like yours. i honestly WISH my school was that good, but its not unfortunately.

  • @SLfromknifetown

    This feels like an autobiography of sorts from the creator (David Scharf), and the girl pulling out the gun and raging against the society is a metaphor of him creating art to enlighten people of the society he can see today, or saw when he was a child. His way of rebellion. And I like it, a well deserved thumbs up!

    The fact that no-one can seem to look past what is being shown, shows that they are still trapped in that school.I will do my best to explain it
    For starters, connect the story with real life. You are but a human being forced to go to a school where it teaches you nothing but what they WANT you to see. What they want you to think. But nothing relivent, nothing about life, nothing about living, nothing about being yourself. Day in and day out messages are crammed down your throat by the rich and the government. Blurring everything that makes you, you. They make you a slave to the system. And those that speak out? Those that spread free thought? Tearing down the messages that were shoved in your face? (NOT SHOOTING UP ANYTHING, THAT IS A METAPHOR) They lock them away, so that they may never be heard again, regardless of what you may have to say.

    I feel that these types of films actually have true meaning and can give you a break from all the meaningless things on RUclips. they give you a refreshing wake-up call about the true meaning of life and this world. and how sometimes society won't approve of your choices, but you have to stand up, and fight for your individuality. In my opinion these animations are somewhat under-appreciated, if you will, and they will always have a special place in my heart.

    As a child the message I get from this is that we're never actually listened to. We heard but not listened to. My mum always wants things to go her and my step dad's way. She doesn't listen to menor my sister. Adults think children are stupid. I'm definetly not stupid. At least I don't think so anyway.
    My principle saw me and my fellow pupils as scabs that needed to be picked off. She loathed me. She even removed me from the transfer test because she "thought I was going to be upset". I couldn't care less. There are plenty of schools out there.
    My actual dad is the only adult I know that really listens. He sits and listens and replies to everything. I love my dad.
    My granny listenes sometimes. She's become more understanding as of late.

    But on a more serious note, I appreciate the message of the story. The shadows were definitely an interesting medium to use, hiding the faces of all the characters; it helps to show how, no matter what emotions may be occurring, the facts still stand true, and what happens in life will still have happened no matter what you try to do about it. It also tells a strong message about growing up: that society feeds off of innocence. The forest is where the young go to escape their troubles, but as society drains them of their innocence, they begin to lose that forest. Problems begin to catch up, and you either have to grow up and face them or crumple and be blended in with everybody else, aka letting society take care of your problems in exchange for your will: your individuality. In here, the girl takes a gun up to try and fight this deal; obviously, she fails miserably, and is sent back to jail, where she goes back to her forest. The gun symbolizes rebellion, a lashing back, a belief that rights can be wronged in the world. But it fails, and she reverts back to a child-like state. There's no point in trying to change anything, so might as well stay here and rot so I don't have to face my problems anymore.
