Shanniese Stewart yeah, her mind wasn’t able to file the emotion and shock she was feeling so she clung to the first solution someone gave her, which was the lie her dad told her it actually happens a lot in cases of people with PTSD, eventually Freddy’s mind broke down too and his mind decided the best way to deal with the situation was to cling to something that made sense because his dad murdering his mom didn’t make sense.
I only think they are hard to unlearn if the believer is close minded. Having an open mind makes you question everything and therefore be immune to indoctrination & lies to a far higher extent.
This hurts too much...too deep. I felt so related with this kid, so confused, so scared, so lonely... not knowing who I am, who I was, what happened, what didn't. The film is amazing ,but painful.
No I didn't, and I never said I saw that. I only said that I felt related. What I was is being beaten for years, everyday, sometimes twice or more a day, sometimes till I bled. I was told so many lies, forced to believe so many lies. I got scared, of life and death. I don't know if you were trying to be sarcastic or funny, I hope you are happy now knowing this.
Ethan Morris there is nothing wrong with believing in a god. Teaching kids harmless things like religion is not brainwashing. You’re making a big deal out of nothing.
No, it is not.. He believes the lies because he's been gashlighted by his father.. He was mentally & emotionally abused by his father, gashlighted by his father in those ways.. Until he got confuse with reality & end up believing the lies as the truth... I've been through also
The whole world tells him that he should look to his father for moral guidance, and thus that his father is the superior being. When this is his premise, any contradictory information creates cognitive dissonance which must be explained away, even if it's a mountain of evidence, and the premise that he's an inferior being provides the explanation. It is rare for a child to successfully combat this, and it is realistic that he is able to do so momentarily but then relapses. This is why children so often retract accusations of their parents, which is music to the ears of child abusers. Common sense should tell the rest of us that if a child is ever, however fleetingly, willing to jeopardize his/her welfare by accusing a parent, something is very wrong.
Brainwashing is very real, and can do a lot of damage, especially to a child. Just imagine what the boy thoughts were, if I don't go along with my dad, I may end up like mom. I still love my father, but if I tell I will be taken away. He is between a rock and a hard place. A life of fear. God bless the child.
Do you know the " Unable to stay, unwilling to leave " soundtrack from James Cameron's Titanic? In this video's case it would be " Unable to confess to dad I know what he really did, unwilling to have him arrested and imprisoned..."
Not quite. It's more a case of "I must be wrong if an adult says I am". Children may be disobedient but they accept the authority and wisdom of adults.
@@rachaelstanley7986 I wouldn't call that wisdom. If My father told me to do something that was totally wrong, the only reason I would do it is out of fear for my own life. This man already killed the boys mother right in front of him, don't you think he is capable of doing the same to his own son. Our greatest enemy if fear itself, and the greatest fear is the unknown. (What would happen to me)?
@@brucevancamp4498 I didn't mean to imply that this man was wise but that children assume adults know what to do. That's why you could see the confusion and conflict on the kids' faces because their eyes said one thing but their father said something totally different.
Me: (walks up to dad), "I know you killed Mom, and you ain't gonna brainwash me into believing anything else you freak. Dad: (hits me in the head with a shovel and buries me in the woods, comes back and asks my sister) "where is your brother?
Painful. And the kids had no where safe to go to get away from their father. My heart goes out to children who are physically, mentally or sexually abused.
From this movie I have learned: Never reveal to my partner the temperature of his breakfast !! Seriously, though a pure goddam piece of genius, excellently captured and performed 10/10
This film beautifully portrays the effect of conditioning and childhood trauma, many are made to believe the truth that is fed to them by their parents, in real life it is more about modulation of behavioral traits and personality repression so as to keep them from growing individually.
Astonishing the effectiveness/and not, of brainwashing on children, of the power of the manipulative effect of adults over children. I'm reminded strongly of the misinformation in our time being wielded on vulnerable sectors by many so-called "journalists" and politicians of the right, and their extraordinary rate of success at convincing folks it's better to die than do minimal life-saving measures aimed at all our wellbeing. Wow. Those folks are sacrificing your lives to further their filthy political ambitions. Your lives are definitely worth more than their political ambitions. I wish more unvaccinated folks could get this. We want you to live. The right does not give a flying sh*t if you die. Their only aim is to get elected, and if that happens, just watch how it hurts you, b/c their only care is the bottom line of the wealthy. Please listen up folks. We're trying to save all of us, not just the 1%. Give it your best thought. Be well, I sincerely wish COVID spares your family and pray that you are vaccinated so that that can happen.
I think the son really killed the dog, but I'm pretty sure I saw the dad whirl around and kill the mom with the axe. And the dad tried to make the kids believe that some random guy with red hair and white teeth really killed the mom.
This struck a chord with me. My husband used to discourage me from using makeup. He would humiliate me infront of our family friends and call me names infront of his sisters. Later, he would apologize (sometimes) but never mend his ways. At that time, I thought it was okay and that he loved me regardless. It came to a point where I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I got out of it only when he started hitting me. But now I realize that mental abuse is harder to recover from than physical abuse. And never believe when they apologize but don't mend their ways.
Awesome. This kind of reminds me of the movie “Frailty” in the way one kid believed his father without questioning and the other was at odds with what his father was doing.
Did she cheat and the boy was not his son and he found out. Not likely. I think he was just crazy and went off on the wife. The son knew he hurt her but struggled with the lie told by the dad until he became to accept it. The little girl was praised for going along and Freddie recognized he would not get the love and attention until he went along too. But he rejected his son at the prison for not being convincing enough which leads me to believe maybe that maybe he wasn't his son. In any even it messed up Freddie for the rest of his life.
He said your not my son because he didn’t get him off on the murder charge. He disowned him..... he said sorry pa and he replied I’m going to hang and your sorry??? So I gathered he disowns him after the boy pleads for forgiveness saying he told them but they wouldn’t listen. His dad was insane and I think started to believe the lie himself. Really twisted
Nope, he was not insane. Mostlikely an abuser and a pathological liar. Did you see the way he tensed up when she said breakfast was cold? That boy was no one else's child his and hers. The father was just angry that the son did not have the same lying capability as the daughter.
Did she cheat... Did she talk too much..Did she talk too less..Did she dress like this or that.. Did she cook bad... Oh please please please. Had it been his mother who got the shovel, what would you assume then? That ...he was adopted and never told about it.. Or maybe his mother was cheating on his father. Such assumptions tell more about us than "them".
When I was little my parents yelled at each other a lot and cursed in front of me and my sister,but then I saw my dad packing bags and I knew he was leaving. After that my family was a mess until now,my mom found a man,I have a little brother and this puzzle has all it's missing peices.
Parents that mentally & physically abuse their children grow up but never forget how horrific they were treated it haunts them forever & believe their lies to be true they keep it hidden from the world & live in silence & isolation.
@@crystalvera9560 totally agree. It's so sad to think that some people live their entire life not knowing anything for a fact. The day you learn the truth is hard, but it's so liberating....
Wait that movie is with Leonardo DiCaprio right? And the asylum? I sort of remember it and how it was really depressing. All I remember is the end tho which is the most depressing part I think
Only difference is that In Shutter Island Andrew Laeddis fails to accept he is the worst patient at Ashecliffe, still wants to believe his imaginary " Teddy Daniels ". The story in this video with the boy, girl, and the killer dad is a bit different.....
This movie is truly impactful and hits home As a kid who grew up with an incredibly toxic mother and only parent I had . She went into extremes of gaslighting me as a kid even up to my adult years that my whole “reality “ of what the truth was to certain events was so distorted that affected my trust in others a lot . It’s always sadder when the one who’s doing the gaslighting is coming from your own parent .
Know what the (even) scariest part is? This is a perfect allegory for how the media and governments "work" with entire populations on a daily basis... and sadly just like in this case, it works.
This is one of those vids you watch and pause to reflect on your thoughts afterwards...excellently portraying how children can be manipulated. Shows also how people can stay in abusive relationships, things are made to seem different then they are in actuality, sometimes a lie is easier to live with and after so long of living with lies we choose to stay in that world, rather than come to terms with the reality of what our life actually is. Sorry, I'm getting all "deep" but this vid got me in a weird way, it was very well acted, the music score on point, cinematography perfectly drab...everything lines up to a beautifully frightening "pause point"..Excellent work to all!
What a shortfilm! Hard to stand! On top of all what happened even when the father was executed they had to hold on to that story, what else would have left. Shock and trauma paralised and such an insane murder is so unbelievable, that you cannot cope else as believing into what the person you love and trust tells you. Brilliantly set in scene, impressively acted. excellent atmosphere captured. Wrenches my heart knowing there are similar stories out there, psychological abuse also a part of a part of my life.
I’m thinking that the kid killed the dog, because the man told the boy to give him the pocket knife? I was really confused to, but i heard that murderers usually start hurting animals when they were younger.. so maybe the fathers actions are rubbing off on the boy?? Idk honestly.
@@umbertostanley3866 it does connect. It is trying to show that the boy had got used to the hunting of such animals , basically the gore and the blood and so when his mother was killed , I think that's why he was able to give a reaction faster than his sister
I thought I recognised young Freddie, he is Dartanian Sloan he played the part of Zach in 'Sinister 2' with his brother Robert who played the part of Dylan..
wow this has touched so many ... to witness the death of your own mother; dad may be wicked but he's the only one you know. That makes the lying easier but DV/violence is so wrong at every level. Gaslighting is indeed just as insidious ... they will always have a skewered reality. Professional help is vital to work through these toxic childhood episodes! And making a film about it must be powerfully cathartic, kudos
This happens in every day life...there are people who tells stories of glimpses in their life but adding more to the story which did not even really happened. That person will always tell the same story, again and again until his story becomes the truth and have forgotten what really happened in that situation. Scary...
That poor little boy what an awful thing to tell a child. Even after everything his dad put him and his sister through Freddy is still trying to chase a lie
Sad but true, it's a scientifically proven fact that the power of suggested can be inculcated into a child's mind as a real memory. It also works on adults in certain cases.
This is so hard to watch .. The father had to know he was the guilty One. This is so much psychological damage to give to his children as a legacy......
The correlation to our modern world is pretty accurate. The two kids are the two different sides of society. The son is defiantly a conspiracy theorist.
This is so beautifully done, aestetically. I cant point out how exactly, but I especially loved this one. Its just so good, but I dont know how exactly.
How does Omeleto make any profit when making these films made with mastery and time and bunch of actors and props etc with a large crew seen in credits?
Lucy knew her dad was the murderer the whole time. She was just saying what he wanted to hear. It becomes obvious in the scene at the table when Freddy is begging the detective to believe the man with red hair and big white teeth did it, and Lucy is just... eating.
The truth was too gross for the kids to bear and they had to choose to believe their monster father's lie to survive. Later they didn't want to tell the truth even to themselves as that would have meant they had betrayed their mother.
I wish, they had shown what happened to the little girl as well.. I hope she didnt have a major trauma and the images she saw was very vague, too much to comprehend for her aga and she put them all behind her back and she went on to lead a normal life
This is so so real and true of time passed. Very depressing reality of life for so many in the early days. The savages that use to roam this country and still do
I cant even get past 5:00. Its not the vid its me. Children are our most precious resource. Even in a film where part of me knows its all fiction to see kids abused saddens me.

The little girl only agreed to the lies her father told, because she was in shock after seeing her father kill their mother.
Shanniese Stewart yeah, her mind wasn’t able to file the emotion and shock she was feeling so she clung to the first solution someone gave her, which was the lie her dad told her it actually happens a lot in cases of people with PTSD, eventually Freddy’s mind broke down too and his mind decided the best way to deal with the situation was to cling to something that made sense because his dad murdering his mom didn’t make sense.
I also believe that she could feel her father wanted them to go along with it and she didnt want her brother in trouble.
I also believe it was the way he rewarded her for “being so smart”
Oh
Lol
The opening and closing scenes really got me. He convinced that smart kid that he was “simple”. He became what he was told he was, and not his truth.
Deep right! I noticed that too! He did a lotta brainwashing, mental manipulation ,flat out Mind F#@k*! poor Freddie the most ,Lucy was alot easier
Lies taught to children are very hard to unlearn, but we can overcome.
covid will traumatise kids for ever if they ever wake up!
@@brainclerk4431 "Wake up"?
I dont think in this film they overcame it. They lived thr lie. The mother did get justice though....

I only think they are hard to unlearn if the believer is close minded. Having an open mind makes you question everything and therefore be immune to indoctrination & lies to a far higher extent.
If you are connected to the liar, his lies can easily become your truth.

Gaslighting. The signature move of an abuser. In a lot of cases more long term than physical abuse.

@@umbertostanley3866 it does connect. It is trying to show that the boy had got used to the hunting of such animals , basically the gore and the blood and so when his mother was killed , I think that's why he was able to give a reaction faster than his sister
I think that is a mountain lion... not sure though
I thought I recognised young Freddie, he is Dartanian Sloan he played the part of Zach in 'Sinister 2' with his brother Robert who played the part of Dylan..
From all of us with ADHD , thank you for putting all these movies we can actually watch in one place!
wow this has touched so many ... to witness the death of your own mother; dad may be wicked but he's the only one you know. That makes the lying easier but DV/violence is so wrong at every level. Gaslighting is indeed just as insidious ... they will always have a skewered reality. Professional help is vital to work through these toxic childhood episodes! And making a film about it must be powerfully cathartic, kudos
a lie can take the world from you just like that.
zeno god of everything best comment
Feels like the "lies" we tell ourselves so that we feel better.
This happens in every day life...there are people who tells stories of glimpses in their life but adding more to the story which did not even really happened. That person will always tell the same story, again and again until his story becomes the truth and have forgotten what really happened in that situation. Scary...
They literally described Conan O'Brien LOL
BIG white teeth, white hands, bright red hair
😂😂😂
Just....Amazing.. I was completely immersed
That poor little boy what an awful thing to tell a child. Even after everything his dad put him and his sister through Freddy is still trying to chase a lie
Sad but true, it's a scientifically proven fact that the power of suggested can be inculcated into a child's mind as a real memory. It also works on adults in certain cases.
The father is a sociopath
he killed the mom becuz he was sick - wonder what happened to the girl
What is that on ur pfp
Anonymous Asmr I think it’s a baby
Well, the father died so idk
@@doggo9421 spongebob.
She ded
I guess she shouldn't have mentioned that his food was cold...
Yes cuz he was angry that his food is cold
Yeah I that’s the only reason I could think of, to why the dad killed the mom
Plus he got some anger issues. Killing the wife just Bc she said his food was cold 💀
@@tiffanywilliams2593 Lol yeah me too
Yeh he had some anger issues
We all are hostages of our childhoods.
19:11 -- That is some outstanding facial hair!
The slight tilt of shot
Omeleto has been a impressive platform depicting Various stories with various thought's to viewers ....keep up the good work
and relevant too ;) good job Omeleto
This is so hard to watch .. The father had to know he was the guilty One. This is so much psychological damage to give to his children as a legacy......
They portrait the boy grew up to be like that, but I wonder how the little girl would be when she grows up.
The correlation to our modern world is pretty accurate. The two kids are the two different sides of society. The son is defiantly a conspiracy theorist.
Definitely like to see a full version of this...
This has a strong Coen Brothers-esque to it. What a great production! I always wonder how Omeleto produce stuff this good for free.
I wonder what kind of hypnosis that able to uncover that memories...
Wait a dang minute... if people milk cows then, what was the person that discovered it, trying to do with the cow
This is so beautifully done, aestetically. I cant point out how exactly, but I especially loved this one. Its just so good, but I dont know how exactly.
This reminded me of my childhood. My dad hurting me and my brother and then telling my mom we are making it up
How does Omeleto make any profit when making these films made with mastery and time and bunch of actors and props etc with a large crew seen in credits?
they don't make the movies. people send their movies in and omeleto showcase them on their channel
Omeleto dosent make them it's just a collection of other people's short films
Lolllllllllll 😂😂😂 good one
This is too depressing ,I want to see the kids counseled in the end
Isn’t that one of the twins from Sinister 2
it is yeah :)
Yup
Yes
1. Lesson : deception is a generational hurt !
Did not see that plot twist coming!
The seeds of lies run very deep. We often never remember where it all began, but the end result is always the same.!
Lucy knew her dad was the murderer the whole time. She was just saying what he wanted to hear. It becomes obvious in the scene at the table when Freddy is begging the detective to believe the man with red hair and big white teeth did it, and Lucy is just... eating.
The truth was too gross for the kids to bear and they had to choose to believe their monster father's lie to survive.
Later they didn't want to tell the truth even to themselves as that would have meant they had betrayed their mother.
Must have been Pennywise the Clown he was talking about. Poor Pennywise, going to get the blame for something he didn’t do this time 😂😂😂
a cruel nature, a twisted soul, such evil lives, and takes its toll . . .
This is by far my favourite short film.
The original OJ Simpson story was a lot more dark than I remember it.
Why'd he kill her in the first place??
Because she slept around on him. That's why he told the boy he wasn't his.
I wish, they had shown what happened to the little girl as well.. I hope she didnt have a major trauma and the images she saw was very vague, too much to comprehend for her aga and she put them all behind her back and she went on to lead a normal life
surprised that the eldest boy landed up believing after he had witnessed his father dragging and buring his mother...
This is so so real and true of time passed.
Very depressing reality of life for so many in the early days.
The savages that use to roam this country and still do
This had made me feel so sad and agree at the same time . Because in a way I am looking for that same man .
A psychopath can get away with almost everything g.
Dad got mad just because he got his breakfast cold
Dad really said why didn’t you heat it up 💀🤚🏼
This gives me chills because it makes me wonder how much more of my abuse I can’t remember because it was explained away.
I cant even get past 5:00. Its not the vid its me. Children are our most precious resource. Even in a film where part of me knows its all fiction to see kids abused saddens me.
People with compassion and empathy such as you possess can change the world, Sir.
It certainly is sad. They come through my classroom on the daily.
@@chromeoiran951 no it won’t because people like the OP choose not to watch it and then it doesn’t exist for them.
@@Mojofoe So you're referring to the "OP" as in Allen, the Omeleto guy?
@@chromeoiran951 no Dan the guy that made the comment.
For anyone who is ever confused about what gas lighting is...this is a great example!!
This video remembered me 1922 (Neflix movie) it's rly good
