Smakatrosmic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Samson the Foolish]

Entertaining enough

For what it's worth, it was well done. The voice-work isn't shoddy, and your animation has a strange subdued appeal to it. I appreciate the effort in making the old testament story a bit more accessible and such.

Oh, and I liked the reference to A Clockwork Orange.

I haven't read all the reviews, but I think you were the first to spot it! No prizes, though. Sorry

[The Creation of High Art]

Eh.

I've got no qualms with the animation or sound. However, when you say the narrator is supposed to "be an unreliable narrator masquerading as a reliable narrator," I immediately think this is a cop-out. The narrator's argument is faulty and easily refutable; did you just say it was intentional as an artistic way of covering your amateur assessment of how high art is determined? That's what it seems like to me. There is no biting sarcasm or satire here to justify the narrator is being erroneous on purpose; it shouldn't be so vague that you would need to tell the audience prior to the flash.

[Dad's at Work]

You sir,

are a god. This is no understatement.

Id

The id, as previously stated, is the source of our drives and considered to be the reservoir of libido. 'The libido' or simply 'libido', is the form of energy cathected upon objects or an affect received from objects, predominantly sexual, which underlies all mental processes. Our drives surge forth from the id and apply libidinal energy to objects, which may result in aggressive or erotic attachments/actions upon chosen objects. The drives of the id are considered to be inborn, operating within the primary psychical processes (those of the unconscious) and are absolutely determined according to the pleasure principle. It is said that the id behaves as though it were unconscious, the reason thought to be is that our ego and our super-ego's ideals and pressures are often in conflict with the id's, causing repression, as the gratification of the id's drives would often be devastating in terms of social and self-image.
