To be fair that is a very legitimate fear for old people. Especially when they live alone.
I like your profile pic its GUTS!😍
Ææ
Yeah i a kid.....😐
Imagine it like, drawing the old man it will be fine .
I know I thought this was going to be about old people having Falls
He wasnt scared of falling, rather he was scared of breaking or dying. When he fell, and smelled the flower, he realized death is not breaking apart or the end, but he saw it as a return to the grounds where his flowers come from; a return to his favorite part of the world.
glad i’m not the only one that interpreted it this way lol
Beautiful interpretation
*The Commenter Who Was Afraid of Tiny Holes*
👏
** TRYPOPHOBIA **
Guess those people would be afraid of strawberries too🍓😂
ThAtS a Me!
Bruh the dude (Hernandez lol) who is afraid of holes is right above this comment haha
🤣 🤣 🤣 I was paying more attention to those blackheads than anything else. It gave me trypophobia.
Meaning of the story: Its okay to fall because when you get back up, you'll see things differently 😄
The comments sweet but maybe you should think about that username of yours
Yeah, it doesn't exactly match your comment
Sweet comment but user name...change it it doesn’t fit

My problem is my face. I have to face my face...
SavageGirl30 Girlie bitch ikr like I fucking feel you my face is my problem
ʌǝp ɹǝpuǝʌǝp How is your name upside down?
Beautiful story. I think the man was not wrong in his fears in the first two cases. Those would have been fatal (falling from such height or falling down the stairs). But he became exaggerated in his fear and started to worry about little things like stumbling. So, I think fear is good till some point. But it gets wrong when it turns into paranoia. For example, you are afraid to go in a dangerous zone, and that's ok, but being afraid to simply leave the house because something might happen is really not ok. So I think the moral is considering fear to be some advisor but never leave it to totally control your life.
Like, "Dry Clean Only"!
whats with the fucking flower bit then
Irina Ciocan There was no point in writing this comment lol just a waste of time.
Good🙄Thanks for explaining😊Keep on giving comment like this🤗 Remember doing something which u like is never a wastage of time😇
Ok...
This is really sad for me, because my grandfather was so afraid of falling that when he did fall, he worked himself into such a panic that he actually died.
Paracosm Films aww so sad for you..hope it’s okay now.
Good for u
I'm so sorry. i hope it's ok now. now he's in heaven!
@n o, You fucking asshole
Bless him
The music scoring is very nicely done.

Beautiful piano
This was so sweet, I just want to hug the old man
Pervert
@@DaMaAz5095681 how does it make him a pervert
oh me too
I like the profile pic 😂
The pot represents our physical body while the flower represents our soul. Eventually our body dies and will be buried. But our soul will forever live. That's why in the end? the old man looked up in the sky. There's no need to fear death. We simply have to prepare for it.
This needs to be at the top
Yeh that soooo gooood!!!😢
Nice one! How about this: we are afraid to fall from the social ladder, but when we do it turns out all just fine, because we, just as a plant, are a part of this animalistic / floristic nature and we simply get back to where our rots start from, our original home. So there is nothing to fear.
1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
The fact that he could afford two sudden moves is what's on my mind. #WelcometoAdulthood
I was thinking about that. Hahaha
@Otaku Gurl 4 Lyfe that's the point
@Otaku Gurl 4 Lyfe : SMH 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
That's exactly what he meant. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Same, how?!
My nana moves a fair bit from pension and inheritance
Is anyone going to talk about the holes on his chin it makes me feel unpleasant!!😂
Hernandez lol same here. For some reason reminded me of a dog’s skin disease I watched long time ago... worms would come out of each pore.... it was called something like mango flies or something like that :/
Maryth R bot flies
Its suppose to be his facial stubble. Lol.
Me too
Trypnophobia. Look it up!
If I was his age, I'd be afraid to fall too
bg93851 if I was his age I just wouldnt care any more I would want to die
bg93851 my grandmother had fallen in bus last month and now she can't even sit down or stand up by herself :/
@@sbduman I hope there is family to help
What I've gotten from the video: the old man is actually really afraid of death. He saw death as something very bad, ugly, painful and sad like the shattered vase, the torn out books, the broken kettle and the shattered picture frames.
Then when he actually fell, he fell on a bed of flowers. Ah... Death can be comforting, relieving and beautiful. So he took the vase of flowers which should've been 'gone' before, and left it on the ground, letting the flowers be the beauty for the next life to enjoy.
I hope all elders enjoy this video, not suffering from the fear of death. As you'll be leaving behind happy, beautiful moments to the younger generation. 💐🌸🏵️🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷
Love this interpretation
Beautiful theory💜
Can I screenshot this? 😢
@@liquan5313 sure :) stay happy and have a beautiful day. 🌻🌸🙌❣️⭐
@@yuciehayashi266 thank you 😁
The music matches up with everything happening in the video........
Not afraid of falling but afraid of dying... he came to terms with it :L
absolutely what I saw
olle
I'm afraid of dying too-
huh..
good to know I'm not alone

Really charming animation with a strong message at heart about how our fears can consume us if we ignore them too long. As someone who struggles day to day with social anxiety, depression and OCD I see a lot of myself in the old man despite my lesser age. Such simple, trivial things have sadly become obsessions through their reoccurrence and my brain blowing things out of proportion. I, too, need to 'plant my flower' and look up at the wonder of the world surrounding me lest my fears, both rational and irrational, consume me.
Sometimes it can be the most simple things that resonate with you and make you evaluate your own life. I can only hope that anyone out there in a similar predicament can find some hope and enjoy life the way it's meant to be x

STOP THIS QUOTE!
This one was amazing. The story was deep (the good kind) and I really liked how the music and the visuals changed to go along with the plot. Great job on this. :-)
Is there a bad kind of "deep"
nobody:
some old man: so if you scratch ground and you'll get chocolate cereal for your flower 3:26
Hahahahahha
Lol
The old man was so afraid of falling that he never took the time to smell the roses.
He was very DOWN TO EARTH
hahaha
😂😂
It tells me that "falling isn't always that terrifying"
Beautiful story. I especially loved the lighting and design of the interiors.
I love the way he smile. His mustache blooms like a flowerrr 😁
Fantastic creation. I love how much detail was put into the old man's face. Beard stubble and all. 😊
Ownnnn so remarkable, sweet, so sensitive, touching. That reminds me those good times that we’re normally lost along our ways.
Thanks for bringing back those memories and thoughts ❤️😍
I sent this to a man I adore, who seem so afraid of being vulnerable. I wanted him to know he didn’t have to play it safe. When you fall I’ll catch you ♥️
he's too cute!! I can't
Fantastic short movie. My personal interpretation is that the fear of falling of this old man is a symbol for the fear of dying. At the beginning he fights this fear, but in the end when he’s in an environment where he feels comfortable he accepts it and he realizes that „falling“ is nothing to be afraid of.
This is some beautiful artwork. I loved the subtle then deep emotions of it all. Visually stimulating as well. When things are going right in our life sometimes we are faced with circumstances that leads us to have fearful imaginings. We then create our next path instead of accepting that we have to be accepting of change and see things for what they are not how we think they should be. If we face challenging circumstances with a fearful mind then we will face the same circumstances unless we become aware of what life is revealing to us. There is beauty even in the midst of chaos. Thanks for sharing.
I love how merciful and gentle his fall ended up being.
The message I got from this short is that caging up yourself in a tall, fancy house, far from the ground (wanting to do great things?) can make you feel unsafe and uncomfortable, and it doesn't matter how many reminders of "good things" you have around you (pictures, flowers).
So, when you finally find the right environment (setting) for you, although it may look "simple", when you fall it will support you. That way your fears get eliminated. It turns out you were just trying too hard. It might be better to let things run naturally, and become more accepting of things (and yourself) as they are.
(Looking at the pictures more carefully, I notice that they show a tree and the man holding his flowers, so all he ever really wanted was to live around trees and flowers, but instead he was keeping his dream in pictures and trying to bring it with him in the big buildings. So he was probably paralyzed by his fears cause he was far from the things he loved. In the last house, he didn't need the pictures cause he didn't need to live in the memory: He was there.)
That's my take anyway :)
I'm afraid of his beard
Endearing animation and very well conceived. Cannot imagine the amount of work that has been devoted in this animation.
The work behind this is incredible, thank you for this video
You can't run away from fear..to get over it,you have to face it.
The man who was afraid of dying, and then he died and found himself in Heaven. The broken/taped up flower pot represented his fragile/broken old body, and his soul was released from his body at the end.
aww he’s so cute, i just want to cuddle and hug him
So wonderfully made, amazingly made!
I love this, the message is good, and that old man is just so precious!
Thank you for watching.
the animation is so AMAZING. subscribed 👏
This was amazing! Loved the animation and the look and style was beautiful!
I am always in love with animations! =) my strong respect for channels like this. Very amazing with amazing stories.
Theres an Egyptian saying means

The holes on his beard 😷
Horrible
"Why do we fall sir?
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."
Profound. He has accepted his own inevitable mortality. He realizes the body falling is actually the beginning of the spirit rising, not the end of anything. He really passes away at the end. It's so peaceful it takes him a moment to see it. And the audience as well. This is an amazing short film.
This poor sweet old man ❤️
Man, I like all these little colorful and original animations... :)

Really moving short animation; great story and subtle style.
This is lovely, superb piece of work!
Next thing you know he’s jumping out of airplanes just to get that adrenaline again
Really enjoyed it thank you : )
What an absolutely gorgeous little film and, to me, a very profound one. It announced a truth we often miss as we go about our lives: Matter is not destroyed, it is transformed and we do not die, we simply return to the void from which we appeared. The Universe knows what it's doing, as the old man discovered.
Love the artwork and story!

The dirt is like chocolate cireal after he dug it out...
Such a beautiful story 😭❤️
I love the music and the animation, both are beautiful combination, good short.
Wow... so touching, everyone has their fears , even me.😊😊😇
man, you don't realize about gravity when you're in your seventies
Awww, this is so beautiful. There's something relaxing about stop motion
Beautiful on so many levels. The thing that we are most afraid of usually doesn't end up being nearly as catastrophic as what our minds imagine.
Quién español?
the violin music at first few seconds was beautiful. Where can we listen to the full music?
Read the credits at the end.
beautiful short film, and the soundtrack is very well done and matches perfectly!
this video envokes a lot of diffrent meanings to many people! beautiful art, minimalistic yet it conveys everything it needs to!
No pain no gain.
GAME!*
RYTY THE TRIPOD MAN LLA LLA its gain.
this make me cry little poor old
He was a mad

Loved the puppets & artistic models. Very well done.
This man is so precious
His beard makes me trystephobic or however u spell it
Nancy Gallagher I was literally about to comment that! Tyrophobic i think
Annie Gallagher Trypophobic
Annie Gallagher same!
Ivan Wotan why dont you study how to be nice.
Annie Gallagher ikr
When your english teacher sets you homework about how this is structured to interest the viewer :/
Yes!
it is much better to embrace and confront our fears and problems than to try to run away from them
this is a fantastically made short!
The things that you avoid might wind up happening, but how will you handle it? Will you endure it or will you let it break you?
This is a lovely, well done film about a fear that several people actually do have.
I'm a man who is also afraid of falling.. .
falling inlove to someone who can't love me back.
Yes. I understand you.
I have that fear everyday my man, every day.
I did that. Yes it's painful. The other person is Asperger's. Being able to love is wonderful despite no return!
Oof oof
Heartbreaking and beautiful! I really enjoyed this.
What I learn from the story is that
We are all afraid of failing that we ran away from it. Our fear of failure stops us from taking risks and will just waste some opportunities.
When the old man fell, it was then he realize that failure isn't that bad at all. It is something that opens us to another path and failing isn't something that we should fear about. It is something that we must face and essential for our selfgrowth.
Beautiful 📹❤👍👏
The story just says that not every things that is falling can be broken, sometimes you need to fall so that you can rise up, in the old mans case, he need to fall to not be scared of something there is nothing to be scared of
👍👍👍
This made me cry.
This video portrays the fact that problem isn't the problem, problem is actually the attitude about the problem.
first thought on clicking....his gana fall
Stay grounded. You will blossom 🙂
I love this kind of animated shorts is very beautiful
This short is lovely .
Music is beautifullll
Yes
Only 30 seconds into the video and I have to pause it to say how I'm completely in love with this video's aesthetic
that's why you say fuck it and live life to the fullest
Sometimes the thing we’re afraid of at night ain’t that bad. Love this short
*That man's beard is scary and it made me uncomfortable*
Good story
The nature sounds in the back are mesmerizing 😌
This is by far my favirote short film
