UriahTWolfe's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PAIN: Angel]

To Hell with self-righteousness...

I liked it. The line at the end once he gets his wings is priceless. I'd take the "offense" anyone might have felt at the religious aspects of this film and wear it like a badge of honor, as if people are getting their panties _that_ much in a wad over it, they've clearly missed the point. C'est tout, merci. ;-)

Not bad, but yet...

I see many great reviews. A lot of people loved this short, and I'm glad they could be touched. I understand the sentiment, but for some reason it just doesn't affect me the way it has most. Maybe it's because I know people who are physically disabled and am aware of the realities such people face. What I would consider more beautiful is letting the guy find someone who can love and be with him in spite of his obstacles. People don't have to be "normal" to be happy. Not everyone with a disability feels like their lives are lacking. I've known many such people, particularly among the Deaf. So maybe that's why it rubbed me differently than it did others. I dunno'. I appreciate the message you were trying to convey, I just wish there wouldn't be the misconception there is that you have to fit into some stereotypical ideal of "normal" in order to find happiness. It was touching in its own way, I appreciate the work you put into it, but it would have touched me a lot more if the dude in the chair found his happiness while still in it. For most who cannot walk, that is their life, they will never just "get up and run". Nor should they have to just to find happiness.

beautiful statement i TOTALY see what your saying. How ever, if you couldnt walk woulndt you want to? But of course while you have time to pend a way to walk you do find hapiness and be content with your self. But why stop? Why give up? YOu see?

this story is about inspiratin and NOT GIVING UP. He was conent, he was happy with the way he was, watch it again, look at the photos, he was smiling with amy, he has good friendhsip with amy. Its just when he was asked what he would wish for, he woudl wish to walk. Not that he's not allready happy, but becuase he's never walked before.

Do you see MY point? now how do you feel toward everything?
But really bueaitful thing what you said.

Oddly sweet

I couldn't really give it a 10 on any individual element, but the overall experience really was more than the sum of its parts. My only complaint is that it was too short - I would've enjoyed watching the goings on between the two characters a little while longer. :-)

Your message wasn't lost on everybody

I'd seen a negatory comment or two regarding why anyone might make such a short seemingly sympathetic to characters like the Columbine killers. Truth is, like it or not, they were victims, too, in their own way. People may not like to hear that, but it's just the plain and simple truth. Their actions weren't justified, that isn't the message I got, but their actions didn't just emerge from a vacuum. Something hurt them, something not of their own making (namely other kids, self-righteous punks who thought it was their god-given right to persecute people for being different). Don't feel sorry for them, I don't, but don't pretend like they alone created the situation that set them off.

One of the coolest I've seen

This was perhaps the coolest submission I've seen yet. This animation clearly took a lot of work, I love the attention to detail. The ear candy isn't bad, either.
