the showing that even a total stranger can be a comfort as you pass, and how we as humans are willing to risk ourselves for others, even when there is no benefit to us. the way that a connection forms so quickly. the way it's clear he is conflicted about going to her, seeing that everything she touches dies. but he still goes so she is not alone. he holds her tighter even though it is hurting him. the way people interact and bond and form connection is so amazing, and its nice to be reminded of the compassion we are capable of rather than just the pain we can inflict. its so beautiful and I love this little film
I like the idea but hate the ending. I would have liked them both to come back and water tree people! It is a better ending than the dancing girl in the water covered in gold that gets picked clean.
i'm glad that this film has (most) people analysing its meaning instead of useless memes and jokes. This is why I love these types of films to see what you guys think about it.
Maybe death isn’t a negative thing. Cuz how I saw it was them both sacrificing their life’s to safe each other. One’s they did that they made strong connection that after their souls were freed from their bodies a beautiful rose came to life. Maybe meaning this time they were reborn together and not separated.
NO. My heart.... But this is a beautiful representation of love to the end and of nature, how things die and are born again. This is a very good story. I hate it when people/animals die in animations, but I love it when something good comes out of it.
I absolutely love this short film and come here once in a while when I want to see a truly exceptional art and story. Well depicted. Love from India❤️❤️
Wow. Stunningly beautiful, and wonderful story. The end is lovely, and very fitting for the story. I like the look of the Water Lady, especially that middle ground between not glueing shells or blossoms over her chest, but also not giving her some Dolly Buster job. 2:53 is painful to watch, and a great foreshadowing.
Human destroying earth after All what it gives to Them. But we Will also die because we cant live without our earth. The flower in the end maybe means there is still Hope. Lets take care of our earth...
Gyh Ach ok, you start! Don’t use your car, don’t use the washer machine, the toilet paper, the shower, the stove, clothes (especially black color) and of course, don’t use cellphones 🤨!! So there, give us the example 😂
You can tell this is a french production, because the animators weren't terrified of breasts. She didn't have hair glued to her chest, or a barbie-doll body, which is 100% what would have happened if this short was made in America.
I think it’s more that breasts aren’t usually allowed on RUclips, with the exception of artistic nudity. But even with the artistic nudity rule, videos still get restricted
Amazing storytelling the creation of the flower of lotus, so powerful, they didn't even know each other for more than 10 minutes and it got so much chemistry and power the characters that made and incredible love story.
No, I'm not blaming him, I'm just joking bro. Because the effect at the end looks similar to the effect that Infinity War had, so I was parodying it. No need to offend you, just making a joke
Beautiful, touching, and poignant love story. The Mermaid finds that everything she touches dies, so the young man decides to go with her, sacrificing his life, and they're reborn as a water lily. Well--handled for an 8-minute film. I loved it! 🥹🥲 ❤
I've watched this year 2019-2020, I didn't know what it's called, been finding it everywhere, good thing this pop up when im watching animated stories 😭❤️ I MISS THISSS THIS LITERALLY MADE ME CRY BEFORE AND TILL NOW 😭❤ GOOD THING I FOUND IT ❤
I wonder about the people who make these shorts. They're good, don't get me wrong, but why always the obsession with death and rebirth? Three quarters of the shorts I've seen recently have been about the same thing.
KesselRunner This observation is probably from the fact that death and rebirths are interesting topics and the processes for such phenomena can vary between numerous people. Many animators like to imagine what death and rebirths would be like through their own perspective, with the limit of their own imagination.
@@megamewtwoy8314 Yeah, that makes sense. I just get a little annoyed seeing the same thing over and over. Maybe one of these days we'll have some artists who don't feel like they need to kill anyone in their videos. Maybe...
Because when it all boils down the truth a the matter is it is abt death and life everything we do...The food we eat, our jobs, our lives, our family, you live you die, sacrifices being made, faith lives faith dies it depends on you..life an death is in the power of tongue an so shall it be in the beginning so shall it be in the end..This was a sacrifice of love and love is a sacrifice.
Flawless. Touching. Great story, animation, character design, scenery, music, sound. Small team making delivering a "big studio" result. I loved everything. It is incredible how, at minute 3:00, the animation really sells that the "mermaid" is carrying a heavy body underwater. That is hard to animate. Anyway, everything in this short movie is neatly done.
So I know it’s obvious that it’s about live and death and rebirth and beauty in all that but honestly this makes me think of the quote “curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back”
Eine wunderschöne, doch auch traurige, Liebesgeschichte. Einzig verstörendes : Eine Wasserlilie als Frau mit Mammae ! Dennoch, diese kurze Liebesgeschichte berührt das ❤️
Qué bonito, la plantita salvo al humano sabía lo que tenía que hacer a pesar del sacrificio. El humano no sabía ni reaccionaba sólo se compadeció de ella y la acompañó en la muerte. Eso es lo que nos pasará si no cuidamos a la tierra. Muy buena enseñanza.
It is true that death is a part of life and this ending shows the connection of their souls. But I agree with your opinion that I wish most of the endings were not sad. Showing a happy ending can be much more impactful and endearing. What the world needs is happiness. Not sad endings in the name of more impact.
Ξεκινα να αγαπας τον εαυτο σου κσι μεδα απο αυτον ξαφνικα ως δια μαγειας ολα αλλαζουν...αγαπας τους ανθρώπους τη φυση εκτιμας το δωρο της ζωης φυλασεις με φροντιδα περισση οτι είναι πολυτιμο το ιδιο το περιβαλλον .Αυτο διαμορφωνει συμπεριφορες χαρακτηρες αξιες ηθικους νομους...Αν το γεμισεις με αγαπη αυτα με αγαπη θα σου εποστραφουν.Αυτη ψαχνω και συτη πιστευω βρηκα μεεμαθες ναμε αγαπήσω και ετσι να αγαπησω εσενα δυνατα
I have been writing sad stories too just like "this town" by nial horan and followed by " happier" by bastille from marshmellow. At first in my story entitled "this town" there was once best friends who soon felt in love with each other but then the girl's parents decided for them to live in America and leave paris that's why the couple separated from each other but the boy still didn't gave up he worked hard until he had enough money to live with his girl but someone told him that the girl he was looking for is already a fiance of the richest man in America and they also began as best friends. So he felt sad and heartbrokened and went back on paris sadly and that brings this story to its part 2 entitled " happier" the reason of the girl's force marriage is because of their own business problem her dad said the only way to get their costumers back is to get their daugther a force marriage they really don't like their daughter a force marriage but they will have to because of the boss of the other restaurant he is very mean so in order to have a nice life for their family the girl married the richest man in America who had loved her too but when she told him that she loves him only as a friend the guy understand her and they divorced and separated from each other as man and women because he wants her to be happier and then he helped the girl and her family to talk to the boss of the other restaurant and brought some media and a police and they made the other restaurant pay 1,000 for what they did and the girl's family used the money to return to paris and the girl married her beloved in Paris and had their own home and family and started their own life
2:52 here is the gesture that will mark the destiny of the daughter of nature: to separate from the family and the kingdom of the sea, to unite herself with the humans on earth. The breakdown of the bond
I watched this exactly 5 yrs ago, I had nightmares about this animation till this day I still don’t get it why I used to get horrible nightmares from this film
I kind of get why, think about it. You meet a sweet person that you think you love then they immediately have something bad happen and since you don’t want them to go alone you stay with them for the last few minutes and you go too. I would be scared too, but he did the right thing for her ❤.

Very well executed. But I wish so many of them didn't focus so much on death. Just once it'd be nice to see one where the ending doesn't make you cry.
it´s like a circle of live so to say and that inherits death 🤷♀

Well death is part of life.

Kinda like Orpheus and Eurydice.

This was a captivating story with beautiful animation. The soundtrack and sound effects added perfectly.
Came back four years later, made me cry🥲
This reminds me of the song “Willow Maid”. Anybody else? Of course, less tragic.
Yes willow maid was super upseting
Yep. I instantly thought of that as well
Same
yes~ sang by Erutan~~ The song and subtle change of emotional lingering for a purpose to be loved and desired.. turns out to end pretty tragically
it does. Erutan did a pretty good job with that song. Both are a little tragic.
Thanks!
The short movie inspired me; I'm satisfied for the masterful work.
It may seem like a story "already seen", but it's still appreciable.
She sacrificed herself to save the life of another person she didn't know. She did it without thinking! Love has no boundaries!
Ever since reading this on Bored Panda I have hoped to watch an animated version. So beautiful and so haunting.
She looks like a mermaid! 🤩
Without starfishes.🌚
@@POLARMANGO Finally someone said it
That was beautiful... And so sad...
Nature was fatally wounded to save the human and so both of them died. After the human died, new nature was able to be born.
Please pin 📍 this
"Everything is good as it comes from the hands of the Maker of the world, but degenerates once it gets into the hands of man"
So beautiful explaination about life... Save earth... Save life
So very beautiful! Feels like a classic fairytale which will live on.
these animated shorts are better than most of the movies/tvshows
Beautiful, touching, and poignant love story. The Mermaid finds that everything she touches dies, so the young man decides to go with her, sacrificing his life, and they're reborn as a water lily. Well--handled for an 8-minute film. I loved it!

This is so sad but one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There is something sacred about this.
Imma be honest, I remember distinctly thinking, when he fell in the water and cracked his head,
“Well, great job, doofus”’
So beautiful and emotional. Very special...no words needed.

Death is used in stories like this in order to make us appreciate life all the more. To be grateful for what we do have.
It is the truth.. We can not run away from it
Why is this so much better than actual movies 😅
That scream frikking scared me
The rest was beautiful, peaceful tranquility though
I like it🤗
This made me want to cry 😢. Why did they have to die 😭❤️. They were so cute together and they only saw each other for a few minutes 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
The best end would have been if his love saved her live and made everthing Bloom again and then they lived together in Peace, the perfect happy end
That's what I thought would happen.
Happy ends are rare in life. Instead there was a peaceful beginning
nah too cliche there shoulda been a child in the lilly.
Death is the truth of life.. We can't escape from reality... After death they get mixed in nature... 😊❤it was the best part acc. to me.. ❤
Definitely an allegory about man's destruction of our world and subsequent doom as well. That aside, a beautiful bit of animation there 💯💯💯
Flawless.
Touching.
Great story, animation, character design, scenery, music, sound.

Basically.

This is so underrated it needs more love and attention
It’s beautiful. Finally he knew how to swim.
Straight up Character development right there!
the reason why he couldn't swim at first was because he accidentally fell on a rock, he hit his head so hard it causes him to lose conciseness.
sad and beautiful at the same time. Loved the art style. Well done.
Love is both sweet and bitter, let us live with this memories so we can live better.
