| 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.
