CONTRETEMPS - Animation Short Film 2021 - GOBELINS 

Thank you! I knew it was an important part for her, but was wondering exactly what it was for.

That's interesting.

Gracias por la explicación.

Interesting, thank you for the explanation. I honestly had no idea what the thing was and it looked like a fancy ring, lol.

Me too, it made me so happy :)

Same! Seeing the OCD still present at the end was such a nice touch. No cliches or magical happy endings. She was strong and faced her fears, but that doesn’t mean they all go away

Right!! I was so happy when the monsters didnt slither away and just..paused

I was read to point that out!

So true! It's never a one moment triumph, but a consistent struggle to overcome it's debilitating anchor. Sometimes we can reach a moment of normality, relief, but most of the time it's an attempt to just be able to get our heads over water.

Nice point. I was looking for a comment that pointed this out. But I think it adds to the character struggle.

Ta pdp est goldée frérot

yeah fax especially with little to no background ambiance

Yes, same for me. Well said.

This is how I feel when learning and having to face the facts that I have either Autism or a learning disability. When I was a kid, I had trouble paying attention in school and would just day dream most of the time, I even pretend that I'm either talking to someone else or that I'm on my own adventure. At first, I thought it all came from watching too much TV, or playing to many video games, and thought it was all just normal. But as I got older, I found out that it was because I had a learning disability and that I needed to go to CDPHP at times. When learning this I began to think of myself a freak and wondered how can a live with myself anymore, I still wonder that today. There are times I wish I did not have a disability and wish I was normal, and even tough people say there are some upsides to my disability, I wish it was because I was normal, and not from a disorder. I still struggle with accepting myself today, and I'm starting to feel I will not accomplish my dreams because of my disability. But hopefully someday, I'll figure it out, if I'm lucky.

​@@dreamguardian8320 Yeah-- comparing yourself to the rest of the world, or to neurotypical people, can be kind of overwhelming. It can be hard to look at a sizeable portion of the world and watch them go about their day/their life in a way that seems so much more easy. I don't think having a disability/disorder makes anyone of less value though. We often have a different perspective of the world, and our own strengths that come with that that people without our conditions might not have. I know for me personally, my OCD makes me more prepared for situations. It sounds like you have a wildly creative imagination! Also upon doing research, there are a lot of extremely well-known names of people who do have various disorders/disabilities! And even outside of fame, there are plenty of neurodivergent people who have family, friends, who accomplish their goals, etc. I know it can be very difficult to come to terms with a condition and developing self-acceptance and I wish you well on your journey with that. Your disorder is a part of you, but it's far from the only thing that defines you!!

@@kimberlycolors7807 Thank you for understanding, and for your help.

@@kimberlycolors7807 when your parents compare your grades with other kids grades it really does hurt a lot when they call you selfish but what you did might not be what u did on pourpose you just feel they never listen to you they ask you why do you cry are you crazy it hurts ~ a teen

What I've come to realize is that there will always be things in life that are outside of control: a family member dying, a poor socio-economic situation, being born with a mental disorder, living through a worldwide pandemic, etc.

ikr! and i love how in the beginning there was a lot of cooler colors but the red still seeped through them, like in between the tiles

Merci ! We wanted to go beyond the stereotype and understand the illness. We're glad it seems to speak to people :)

@@liselegier2537 it absolutely does. A truly great piece of art! Merci. Beaucoup!

100% agree, a fantastic piece indeed :)

Yeah I was wondering the way she touches the brick wall, jump two marches at the time and touch every chairs and count to four is it some sort of coping mechanisms because of her disorder is it commum for people with that kind of mental disorder to do all that?

@@alexandrelessard7168 No, its that the character feels forced to do that or something bad will happen. The character breathing and tapping her knuckles is what is helping her relax but doesn't help everything go away. The locking of the door multiple times, to touch the brick wall is something the character is feeling forced to do.

Same here, with social phobia I can relate so much. ^^

Same, I watched before reading the description that mentioned OCD. Speaks well of the piece that people with GAD and/or social phobia can relate so well to it, too.

It’s about ocd not social interaction

“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT Praise God, it can be really hard, but she endured it for her sister... “Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21 AMP God bless and Jesus loves you all so so much! 🤍🤗

My teammates and I say thank you. This kind of feedback is very important for us and we're glad you could understand it. Thank you so much and take care!

We're very touched ! We consulted people with OCD and tried to get it as right as possible. It's great you saw yourself in this representation ♥

Thank you so much, this is for us extremely precious and the best feedback we could ever get. We are glad we could portray this condition in an accurate and relatable way. Thank you so much, from the whole team. We wish you the best. ❤

@@liselegier2537 I appreciate it, I think I’m going to use this to help show people what it’s like because when people see me doing stupid stuff to help my ocd they ask questions or give me looks so it will help to show them this if they don’t understand.

@@liselegier2537 i am very positive you could make an amazing depiction of ADHD and sensory overload. or depression (but you likely did that already?). another interesting thing (which i suffer from heavily) is chronophobia, or the fear of time. I personally have it since my two older sisters drove me to a near-suicide attempt (was already standing in the window) when i was 6. I am so overly conscious of the fact that i have only a finite amount of time on this planet, that i get extreme anxiety and depression when I need to do something that doesn't help someone or doesn't bring me joy. i am literally unable to do something that is ultimately a wasted effort with no payoff. I would rather work 8 hours intensely than spend 6 hours at work and only being productive for 3.

WWHHHAATTTT i hadn't even noticed that at first and i've watched this numerous times since its release... gobelins students are next level.

Mhm! I noticed louise and was like OHHH ITS MY GIRLLLL

In the shot with the characters from blue curry, someone’s wearing a shirt with the frog from “Golden Hour” and the governor from the short “Rest In Peace” is also in the first couple rows of the audience.

@UCUgLK0lzZBHhMA6f11uS_bw Sure! let me find it!

it’s 5:53

If you accept, welcome, love and being courious about your demmons they will integrate without the horror aspect. They are a part of you. ❤️

“You believe that God is one; you do well [to believe that]. The demons also believe [that], and shudder and bristle [in awe-filled terror-they have seen His wrath]!” (James 2:19 AMP) OCD can be tough, and having social anxiety adds up to it too... Let's pray.. coz Only God can help us overcome... God bless and Jesus loves you all so so much! 🤍🤗

(28) Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit?” (29) Jesus replied, “This kind can be cast out only by prayer.” Mark 9:28‭-‬29 NLT It doesn't have to be part of us, i know that 'd*mons' can be used to represent another thing, something that haunts us, but remember, it doesn't have to haunt us forever. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 NLT “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.” Romans 8:26 NLT “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. ” Ephesians 6:18 NLT “Never stop praying.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT God bless and Jesus loves you all so so much! 🤍🤗

Show it to her then !

Is there a reason these things unnerve you? Or is it more like a deep disgust, like being grossed out by something, no logical reason its just visceral.

@@KD-ou2np it's definitely not disgust, it's just something that doesn't sit right with me. I pour so many hours obsessing on things being in specific places (the pleats that curtains form when you slide them to the side had to be 2 inches each), All my clothes had to be black, kitchen supplies need to be stainless steel, when I receive clothing as gifts, it has to be certain color and cotton. My friends and family have learned to gift me with experiences rather than things because I just can't accept something that doesn't sit right with me. The food that I taste exactly in mind which is not always the best (This week was a constant compulsion to get sustainably caught sardines in olive oil, it had to be olive oil, it had to be certified sustainable, i can't escape it. Last week was a specific brand of korean instant noodles). It's mostly an annoyance that I can't move on with my life if this and that is not "right". Sometimes its helpful especially with my job (professional baker) I will scrap a project if the scones are not exactly 3 inches by 2 inches, if the cookies are not 3.5 inches in diameter when baked, the streusel needs to be even for all cakes. It's kinda nice at work when people don't question why you bring a ruler everywhere. In the outside world, it's more weird. It's not about being organized or clean or perfectionism. I am not a germaphobe at all. I can sit on the floor or the grass, I can work on dirty jobs but it has to be a certain way. OCD is more like it just doesn't sit right I can't move on until I can correct it.

I have OCD, but there are different types of obsessive compulsive disorders, not just the one shown in the film. Also, not all of us who have OCD have hallucinations or have a terrible social anxiety or something like that. XD There are also different degrees of OCD: both dangerous, hard, medium and light.

Right? I feel like I need to send this to everyone who's ever made fun of me for how I act differently because of OCD. But just being able to connect with others who resonate with it is enough. Hope you're doing well. :)

Bruh, not all of us have the same type of OCD, there are hards and others are more easy to live with. Im a messy person too, but my OCD is more mental than physical, anywhay I have a obssesion with whasing my hands. xd

@@fer_nanda4509 my cousin is obsessed with washing his feet and submerging it many hours in the water. You can see that it's like pale all the time.

oh so thats ocd, what i knew really was the someone-who- hates-asymetry, i didnt know it's a stereotype,

Thanks Nilayan :D !!

Haha I loved it

Ton français est parfait ;)

Mise à part les majuscules (ce qui n'est pas très grave) tu n'as fait aucune faute. (et j'ai corrigé les miennes en passant :))

I saw it too!

There's a reference to Blue Curry 4:11 and Louise at 5:54

Huh, I also suffer from symptoms of schitzophrenia. I thought I was crazy and that I was the only one, which _ is _ crazy. :) It is sad that our world is like this. I had the hardest time with these symptoms, but I have learned to hold on to God's heart, and remember what's true about Him and our world, that even though it looks bad, to not worry and have peace and continue doing good, that things are working out.

разве же тут шизофрения? Это просто образы, использующиеся, чтобы показать проблематику героини. Иначе студия указала бы обратное в описании, разве нет?

The monsters just represent chaos. The only additional thing may be social phobia.

A shoutout to golden hour???

@@hisrijan yes 😉

On a eu de précieux témoignages très différents les uns des autres de personnes atteintes de TOCs, on est content de lire ce type de commentaires, et si on a réussi a se rapprocher le plus possible de la réalité de la chose, ça nous touche beaucoup! Merci pour ton commentaire! Prend soin de toi!

Also the mother and son from “Blue Curry” in the backround

@@itisactuallyira oh I didn’t even notice! It makes me wonder if there is any other references to other shorts that we haven’t even noticed yet because they aren’t out yet!

Oui la grenouille ! Je trouve ça trop sympa qu'ils se fassent une référence entre eux !

Au même moment y'a les personnages de blue curry!

@@norab4402 OH MAIS OUI INCROYABLE !

Yes! I spotted louise in the bg and was looking for someone else who noticed!

4:10 I didn’t notice until now but they have the boy and his mom from the blue curry short!

and 6:05 where they add the Governor in Rest in Peace!
