Props to the writers, this was deep. It takes a good self reflection to know where you went wrong.
Very true, God 🙏 bless you.
Yeah the water was pretty deep at the end
Ah.. Self reflexion. The anti character seemed to be made of glass. Alluding to a mirror? Awesome
The way his addiction is personified as an aggressive but fragile creature, always loudly and insistently egging him on, and scaring away the albatross (the embodiment of reformation and hope) is so good. Way to tell a story without words. (Besides the glass man’s anyway)

As an alcoholic myself, 5 years sober, this was as personal as it gets. This is a masterpiece! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
happy to have you back. you are loved. peace.
Congrats to your 5 years! 😃👍😍
The glass monster is the dark side of the old man himself. He won the battle. The bird brings hope.

Ya true

rather, it is simply his alcohol addiction. and the bird desire to stop drinking
The glass monster was the temptation to him
A movie doesn't have to be deep and meaningful, it has to touch something inside you. This movie does that.
I agree
Surely if it had no meaning or depth it couldn't
@@richardraymond878 Yes, it has meaning, of course, but it doesn't try to be deep or profound. It doesn't need to. The impact comes from the dramatic interplay of the two characters and the emotional rollercoaster of the fisherman.
It touch the liver
I’ve never seen alcoholism portrayed in this way, intimidating at first but even when broken on the floor it’s just happy to get another drink, smiling at you while your/it’s body crumbles to bits along with your life
brilliant
Ive been a miserable alcoholic for many years now and i can seriously identify to this. Beautifully created and a clear message. Thankyou
Reminds me of the saying "a man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, the drink takes the man". I recognize that glass dude. I hope to never see him again.
Who is he??
@@utkarsh3668 I call him Evil Bob.
@@JustaGuy-pm9ub oh but he seems to be an evil man
Congrats. Been there myself. Tough road.
Lyrics Master alcoholism.
the story has many perspectives, i see this as the man battling with alcohol addiction and winning the bird probably to symbolize freedom.
thank you
Alexander Sergal yh but the bird is a robin and robins signify new beginnings, patience, wisdom, passion but because the glass monster was well glass and the alcohol kept going inside him so yh i see where ur coming from
Freedom? There will never be no freedom. I believe the bird is for something that can still be done, for a hope.
I think the bird reminds he him of the beauty in the world and that he’s not alone adrift on a dark see for ever if he gets rid of his fragile self image and quits drinking
The perspective you're missing is why he's on the boat drinking in the first place.
These CGI animations look clean and almost realistic. Crazy how far we've come from 10 years ago
Moral of the story -
"You don't consume alcohol,
Alcohol consumes you" EVENTUALLY.
No, Alcohol *Destroys* you.

I thought alcohol was the cure, boy was I wrong. So I also thought it only effected me, wrong again. 22+ years now on the clean side. :)
share study I'm writing down what you said. How true that isn
The way his addiction is personified as an aggressive but fragile creature, always loudly and insistently egging him on, and scaring away the albatross (the embodiment of reformation and hope) is so good. Was to tell a story without words. (Besides the glass man’s anyway)

This is an amazing piece. Saw it when it first came out and have been back many times since. It really sticks with you.
The word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse. An Albatross was a major character in the 1798 poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. In the poem, an albatross starts to follow a ship - being followed by an albatross was generally considered a sign of good luck. However, the titular mariner shoots the albatross with a crossbow, which is regarded as an act that will curse the ship. The bird is placed on the sailor's neck by shipmates to show the guilt in killing it. Therefore, the albatross can be both an omen of good or bad luck, as well as a metaphor for a burden to be carried as penance.
Thank you

Iron Maiden made it worth listening to when I was a young rocker. It's still a classic, now that I'm an old rocker. (I listen to it while I'm sitting in my rocker)
This is stunning. The visuals, angles, nuances, sound design, fluid dynamics, story...unbelievable that a small team put this together.

My only sister died from alcoholism August 29 2019. She was only 33. Alcohol turned her from a gorgeous, outgoing, fun loving, caring and sweet spirited girl to a monster I no longer recognized. She left behind her family, fiancé and 2 children (my precious niece and nephew).
This video resonates with me on a very emotional level. I am still very angry with her in my own grief but I’m getting better and learning to forgive her with lots of help from the Lord and His mercy
Addiction, crawls from the depths of our minds with an offer of goodwill and kindness, but if someone continues to appease it's wants and needs it will ultimately force itself upon you, either you accept it's offer to continue, or you beat it back in defiance. "Let her rip", and forget about everything, or refuse to drink and take notice of the beauty right on your shoulder.
Descendant of Raynald of Chatillon of Antioch Very well said. I'm right about there.
Descendant of Raynald of Chatillon of Antioch it is just the goodwill is really weak.
Descendant of Raynald of Chatillon of Antioch I'm an old fart and I never thought that I would see myself on CZcams .... this short film has so much powerful so much vision. but I so myself in the reflection of that Lake. and I am inspired

True
"Temptation always wins if you let it. So will hope if you let it."
-Alcoholic sober for 3 years
let her rip huh huh?
Congratulations if your the sober one. I may not know you, but I’m proud of you.
King Kay i’m proud of you bro :)
God bless you man! Keep fighting the good fight!
3 years? i am alcohlic sober for 17 years (my whole life)¨
12 yers with out any f.cking firewater! My life is beautiful!
тоже возле этого.но люди всё равно смотрят как на больного с непониманием и недоумения. хотя бросал сам без кодировок и шаманов
I struggled with alcoholism for several years. I definitely understand this video. Beautiful, beautiful work.
Glück wenn mann den Albetros(Rotkehlchen)begegnet und den Kampf gegen die Sucht aufnehmen kann ein ewiger harter Weg.|
i come back to this video so often. really love this short film and the story it portrays to me.
I love it. These is by far, the best CGI I have ever seen. Thank you to the artist that creat it.
"Hey dad what's an alcoholic?" "Son an alcoholic would see 4 trees over there instead of 2" "But dad there's only 1 tree over there"
Nice copy.
That's so wrong but sadly true
They got us in the first half ngl
really....
you arguing with me boy?!
The sound effects, atmosphere, and use of body language were stunning, what dialogue there was was very well used and thought out. 10/10
seems every year I come back to view this again - its simply fantastic
This is one of my favorite animated shorts ever.
If you stay thru the credits, they show a photo and caption saying, "Inspired by Hayden Sterling". I had no idea who that is, so I looked it up. He was a film actor back in the 40s and 50s. I also watched a video of an interview he gave, and that ,Huh, Huh" was the way he spoke. Excellent film.
I think you mean Sterling Hayden.
Good job with the research. Did it when nobody else would
@@RSR423 netflix pe bi he kya
Nice 👍🏻 you did a great job of research.
Sterling was in 'Dr Strangelove' and played the police captain in 'The Godfather' (who Michael Corleone shoots) czcams.com/video/ER2wbrQqbHM/video.html
The bird symbolizes so much in this. It's what you miss as an alcoholic. Friends, family, lovers, good times, and EVEN bad times, you drown those out too. You can miss your whole life.
very well said
Brilliant, just brilliant!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Beautiful. 12 years dry myself. Never looked back.
absolutely brilliant totally thank you for sharing The CGBros. 👍🏼
wow, they did a great job with the graphic design, the liquids are super realistic.

moral of the story;

And a shotgun just in case
@@elretrahd yep and a hammer and a baseball bat
@@elretrahd remember to bring the ammo too
No moral of the story is alcohol is a lethal destructive thing.
I was there...still feel shame.
Menage to escape...hope forever.
Soon will be a 9 years of sobriety.
Well done.
Human frailty is not a reason to feel shameful.
But strength is a reason to feel hopeful. You continue your strength!
Good job :D
Dont feel shame anymore though.
You overcame that bad time in your life.
Be proud :D
Cool 👍 brother, keep going, I will pray.
I just started my decline this Spring...so far, so good!
I have a relative who gets drunk to escape the pains of reality, but his emotions can be too much.
I can easily reflect his situation with this beautifully animated short. Those bottles of Jack Daniels sure are an alluring sign of temptation, yet only the foolish who believe it would bring peace would slam a bottle down, even though they will still boil with anger.

Why dont you got so many likes its so true what you said

Are you still doing good?
Have reached 1 year free milestone?
Yup 1 year 1 month.
That is great, I hope good luck in your way
@@mazenahmed5993 Thank you so much!
Thank you, it was a good news to hear
I've watched this so many times over the years, still amazing
Yes,we all have our way none of us is perfect like the video is good
Perhaps the old man won the battle but the last scene with the bottle landing on the sea floor says something else. It's empty...
That mean he drink it wgain
We'll the water got sucked in and washed it out of course. It wouldn't stay in the bottle would it
Moral of the story
Don’t YEET bottles of alcohol in the water or you will get glass monsters terribly addicted
Ya that happens
🤔🤔 yeah .... That's why i never threw full bottle inside water ......
Shinx243
From what language does the word "yeet" originate?
"Yeet"? I take it you've never studied proper English..
Anthony Siler ? bruj im makin a joke
Alcoholism was the albatross around his neck. Whatever the other miseries in his life were, the alcohol, a supposed means of escape only exacerbated them. The little bird comes back as a harbinger of hope, and a sign of approval.
Very good. A very accomplished short, on every level. Fortunately I've never had to face the beast of glass. Never had any interest in alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. They play no part in my life and my life is great.
This is a great parable about those of us who have experienced addiction and recovered.
Тяжело, думаю, анимировать вредную привычку в таком шикарном качестве.

Every addiction feeds you with hunger.
Not FOOD.
7 years Taught me a lot
Great video, with outstanding graphics! Amazing how many former alcoholics and perhaps still alcoholics here that can relate to this video. Good luck with the battle! I Drank as a young man for a few years but my body wouldn't or couldn't handle the toxicity of the booze and I thank God for that when I see the aftermath.
In the first five seconds, I thought to myself, 'damn! I hope the story is as amazing as the visuals!'. I was not disappointed. I feel like the realistic animation is just as symbolic as the writing itself.
I absolutely love everything about this. EVERYTHING!
So perfect a manifestation of himself. And a good setting, too.
5-10-2015 my sobriety day. Just celebrated 6 years on 5-10-2021. Thank You 🙏 for this visual of why I never want to go back to King Alcohol!!!!!
My great grandfather died by falling off a boat drunk and depressed. It’s solemn seeing how different the outcome could have been... very emotional and thought provoking.
An outstanding piece of filmmaking. All facets of story, cinematography, sound, etc spot on. Well done.
That was powerful and extremely relatable. Thanks for the share 🖖
Wunderbarer kleiner Kurzfilm..
Danke :))
2:53 I think that scene is supposed to represent that him drinking still leaves him empty.

Albatross-a psychological burden that feels like a curse. Alcoholism. Allergy of the body. Obsession of the mind. The artists who created this …hats off to you, profound .
Par hasard..... Magnifique scénario , superbe graphisme, noir et blanc . Les créateurs ou le... est un artiste génial .
Awesome use of Sterling Hayden's voice! Great job guys!
I've had my own issues with alcohol in my life, and so far on my own I've been able to keep away from it. When I do get the urge tho, I watch this a few times, take a few minutes to reevaluate myself
I respect that. Keep strong
Good Luck man you doing good
Good on ya mate!
Smart idea stay strong and stay frosty
thats amazing...whatever gives you hope!
How come I cannot tire of watching this? I love this vid
Defeating the dark aspects of self is a milestone in life.
that albatross is the harbinger of death..... superb animation and story
Boy, really love the character design in this one. :3
Also the liquids and the fog, just fantastic
A simple and beautiful view of what addiction steals.
I'm seeing this for the first time. Awesome animation. the ending is quite twofold, since the bottle that is being thrown by the fisherman is reaching the bottom empty and when he was sitting with the bird it still had some liquor in it. That's not a coincidence, the old albatross might have actually succumbed to temptation.
Have you considered the open bottle being thrown and filled with water (or else it would float) just might have some influence in it looking empty of liquor?
Well it was open so it would have got pulled out
Oh yeah no the bottle was already open before he tossed it so of course it emptied before it hit the bottom
I like how the alcohol not only damages the man but the glass man as well

These guys are brilliant. Love love this content
The movement looks pretty real
I appreciate that
Every time I watch this..... The story for this is really heart reaching.
Beautiful, very excellent, and it contains advice about alcohol and its harms, as it wastes time, money, family and almost everything.
I know everything about this, all of it right down to seeing myself as a monster. Thank god those days are behind me, I finally sought help and have been sober since 3/8/19
Excelente video, importante mensaje como la personificación de las debilidades y virtudes; muy bueno, la verdad me gustó, buenos gráficos, muy reales y expresivos! Buen manejo de los efectos y las sombras! Felicidades y buen trabajo Joel Best, Alex Jeremy y Alex Karonis!

The fisher: *out of drinks*
Glass weird guy: allow me to introduce myself.
Incredible! The robin's voice is so real!
Very intense! I really got a little sick watching him drinking. Great Movie.
I LOVED IT... a wonderful retelling in part of "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" beautiful work!
Coming from an AP student who just had to analyze that story, unless you're joking, this story has only a handful of similarities. Both took place on the sea with a bird and an old man, and that's about it.
They did an magnificent work with the effects of liquid like the water and alcohol. The glass man was also a good work of art. I can just ask myself how much time it takes to animate this well.
marvellous 3D❤👍
Im 51 Native American M in Michigan. This really hit home. This was my story in a cartoon. Bird and everything . I was told awhile back when I sobered up I'd hear or see my story. Alcohol WAS my best friend. Its been a bit since Ive seen or heard it but this DEFINITELY fits the mold of my story. At the end when the bottle is empty and going down to bottom I believe he was saved by the bird and was looking at himself and what has become of himself. Shakes and All. God Bless You All for the Video 🙏
That was the best animation I've ever seen. A level of art that is astonishing. The detail was pure genius! I hope you guys continue to put out high art like this!!!
I agree

The right thing to see, at the right moment in my life.
Love coming back to this animation now and then :D
"A fragile man sees no other beauty than what's on his bottle".
Or what's in the bottle.
Comment like this make me want to be an alcoholic then go in to rehab to be sober again
Interesting enough to draw you in, well done graphics interesting numerous messages. Well done...thank you.
Bro this CGI is outstanding well done
I come from a long line of substance abusers, and this gets me right in the feels.
I was just about to wrote the same thing - word by word, as you did 19 hour earlier than me. Nothing more to say really...
Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster whats the message cause i understood absolutely nothing xD
zCermonDax - Don´t abuse alcohol, you will end up as an emotional shell of your former self unable to function, do your work or have any close relationship with those you love.
In the end your drinking makes you lonely and miserable, and you keep drinking because you are lonely and miserable.
right?
Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster.
This was absolutely brilliant the six min forty-five seconds went quickly. Id definitely like to see a full movie version
i think that was the full version
@@machinerage6941 yeah I recon there should be a longer version a lot of the CGI movies are good but not long enough
The beauty of it is that you don't need to see more. Some movies are made to provoke the thought, not give you the answer. It is the audience that must make the ending through personal choice
I liked how the iceman held up a mirror to the guy showing him the endgame of what he is like and I think what was the last straw was the iceman showing disdain towards the one thing the old man enjoyed, the innocence of the bird.
Increíble, muchas felicidades por esta Hermosa historia!!!
Everyone has their own ideas of what it means. All I can say is this was AWESOME!! good work on the video.
Being a recovering alcoholic myself, this video means a lot to me I know exactly who these characters.
I learnt alot from this
Each time I remember
About this video I always comes back to watch again
I am sure that
I might have watched this video morethan 2k times 😢
Thank you! Please share it with your friends :)
Wow... beautiful.
And the sounds effects are really awesome.
Congratulations 🦜
