| A History of Evil |
 |
Animated Documentary-Mockumentary about Evil
in western civilization from Ancient Greece
to present day.
After all the comments I feel like some
clarification is in order, but firstly, to
you guys that liked it:
Thanks, you've made my day.
The film was intended to show what people
have believed in and pointed to as evil
throughout history. It was meant to get you
to think about what evil really is. It is
meant to show that when we get too obsessed
with "evil" we might end up taking part in it
ourselves.
One has to separate evil and human cruelty.
Human cruelty is people not being nice to one
another. Evil is soemthing else, it is
something we have created, a word and a
concept for things that are not acceptable.
It is a label for things that we do not
understand and dont want to understand.
But is evil really ever a complete
explanation for anything?
A lot of bad deeds has been done in the name
of good. The people that did them ment good,
are they evil?
OK, and finally,
This video is not meant to:
-blame wester culture and people for all the
"evil" in the world. I'm european, and
thought that I better stick to my own
history.
-blame religion for all the evil in the
world.
-claim that God is dead. (It is simply a
reference to the philosopher Nietzsche, look
him up.)
-offend anyone, race, religion, gender or
sexual orientation.
-claim that Elvis was evil.
-be an exact and complete account of the
actual events that has taken place throughout
history.
This was a student project, hence the
"unfinishedness" and abrupt ending. I ran out
of time. I might update it later.
It was animated frame by frame in flash and
composited and textured in AfterEffects.
