Elephant dreams

I would like to write this post in english only for testing; I can translate this if anybody needs it.

Despite english is not my native language and I can't understand three of five words when I listen it, I used to write in english IRC channels and I read too much words to be able to write in a inteligible way. I think.

This post is about a short movie made with an open-source 3D animation software. The program is called Blender but that is not the subject.

The movie is named "Elephant Dreams" and I just seen it now after download it from its web.

As I said I don't understand spoken english very well and this movie is very surrealistic but I think that after a while I understanded all the idea of the movie.

These are my conclusions about its meaning:

- The second character in the story is named Emo. And really has that emotional, pathetical, and useless personality.

- The old man is trying to guide Emo in the strange world in wich all of we are living.

- Out of this world there isn't nothing. Nada. Niente. (I needed to express this in foreign languages. ;))

- And the world appears to us like we saw it. As we perceive it. Like we think the world is.

- Sometimes a distorted vision of reality causes bad sentiments and produces monsters.

- With permission of Yoda, it could be said that after the fear follow the hate. And that is what Emo experiments in a world that he didn't understand.

- The fail of the old man is that tries to explain in what a wonderful world they are without explain previously what are the dangers of to choose a wrong path in life.


I'm gonna see it again. I hope not to forget the lesson. And, as Monty Python said, always look on the bright side of life.

Please correct my spelling or ideas. Thank you.
