Metamorphosis 

According to the original, they (especially father and mother) would be rather angry than sad, because Kafka wanted to point out what they see Gregor only as a breadwinner, and he`s not interesting to them in any other way. But, Kafka has the unbreakable rule: everything must end in the WORST way possible.

@@user-cq8mb9os9o Yes it in itself is rather heartbreaking. I just wish they could have felt the same heartwrenching pain I felt when Gregor died. I feel like Gregor was so wasted on them.

According to some sources his metamorphosis into a insect was just a metaphore for him becoming diffrent, like he may have acquired some deformalities or phsycological disorders etc. Idk if it's actually truth but it sure can feel this way.

@@A_ri_ka i think it could be a mix of both. him actually becoming this gross ass vermin and developing disorders and such

​@@zephyros2522 it is more life-like, when, as Kafka showed to us, your family\friends are never to know of your inner struggles and thoughs. even if they wanted to, - which is rather doubtful

exactly they never actually cared about gregor, just the money he brought them the moment he became unable to provide for them (which i believe was him actually becoming disabled/mentally ill due to all the stress and dehumanizing put on him by work) they stopped caring

apparently that's how kafka likes his stories, to have the worst endings

Thank you!

​​@@drsamuelhaydensecretgaming6749 it is for 10th grade .. It is not that early to teach these stuffs

@@registered_dodo1743 10th graders arent babies dude

Growing up in San Bernardino is certainly kafkaesque

Or could just move.

It shows that quite simply, sometimes we awaken "not", but as some creature of our circumstances at the time. Sometimes I awaken as a dark poet (like Poe) and other days I am content like a lion between meals.

Hi! thank you for such in depth comment. I am really glad you enjoyed my version of a famous story and now willing to read it! My film is just based on it and not a close adaptation. You can find Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka almost anywhere especially it is definitely online in electrronic or audio formats. If you haven't found a copy yet :) My film is designed to be open to interpretations and visions of the audience like the original story itself. I put red to give a motif of blood and death to the film and just as esthetic point but I love hearing what other people see in it. His sister was giving Gregor rotten apples since he was an insect and that was suitable food for him in the book. anyways thanks again for the comments and hope you enjoy the original book!

And now realizing, yup... like a hypocratic hypocrite ...how's this for irony? I'm no rocket scientist but I'm no dummy... You know just enough to know that I don't know a dang thing... Anymeow, hippocratically hypocritical me thinx judging a book by its cover by judging a book by by its cover, and now here I am judging a book by technically , a cover.. (¿)..(musicians can do covers of songs so this could be considered a cover of sorts)..artisart .... anymeow, where was I ¿¿‽¿..oh yeah that word... "Kafka~ Esque" . Is pseudo intellectual the right word?, Too many times I was made to feel stupid, inferior..., and I breathe,,, (that's funny ... Good old autocorrect strikes again you're smart so I'm going to leave that in hopefully have a warped sense of humor like I do)..?... .....the only truly dumb question is the one you won't ask... when you are too afraid to ask out of fear of feeling even dumber after for have had been brave enough for asking it in the first place Post edit... Crap I accidentally hit send arrow but long story short the "KAFKAESQUE" first impression and second .... just... I mean I love Orwell, so I get it... Apologies feel like your grandma or spell check autocorrect, etc.... I guess intellectually lazy .. not nearly as eloquent is everybody else as everybody else.... 🤔🤯🧠💨🤜🤛🤯🧠💨🤔🤘💜✌️🖤💜💚💜💚💜💚💚💚💚💚💚🖤💜💚🖤💜💚💜💚💜💜💜💜💜💜🖤💜💚🖤💜🖤🖤💜🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️🩺🫀🧠☠️🧚‍♀️💚💜🖤⚖️🤟🧷🧸🎪🎭🕯️📯⚕️♾️🤘

the girl who was playing the violin wasn’t Gregor’s wife it was his sister

The story never explains why or how Gregor turned into the insect which I think is on purpose. So you just see the reaction from his younger sister and his parents when he is already an insect.

really cool to hear the opinion of someone who has not read the book. Shows this adaptation captured the main themes and feelings of the actual book. If you haven't read it already. you definitely should. It's a good, short read

Glad you liked it!:) I’d say the book is must read for sure:)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm glad you like it!

Hi! Thanks for your comment and thoughts! The girl in the short was his sister. I decided to eliminate Gregor's mother. Overall, the story was loosely adapted and shortened for the sake of saving time. It was my thesis work in the fourth year of animation bachelor program in Sheridan College. I had to do an animation short in 8 months just by myself. I had composer and sound designer and bit off help from my friends colouring some animation scenes and helping with compositing of some more tech heavy shots but had to rely on myself for completing the film. I really loved Metamorphosis when I read it in school and really wanted to try and give it a shot enterpreting it. Ideally if I had a team of animators and more time I would see Metamorphosis being at least 30 minutes film. I would like to include all the details and psychological aspect of it as well as a story build up leading to the death of Gregor. So when I was adapting it and thinking of the way how to shorten it, I thought of Portrait of Dorian Gray. The final scene where Dorian becomes what he was on the picture of himself. It inspired the alternative ending of my short. It became a reverse metamorphosis or perhaps metamorphosis never happened in real and it was Gregor's family's perception of him the whole time. I found that death like it happened in the book would need more character exploration for it to make sense visually. However, I knew that my alternation of the story will distort original novel and create different feeling for people who enjoyed Metamorphosis as it is. Overall, it was a tough experience and my very first short film. It really made me appreciate written stories and film making more as different forms of art that create one feeling with different methods and techniques. But sometimes they do make us feel not the same about the story that being told. Again thank you for your feedback and I really think that storytelling of all different forms have to be free for interpretation by the audience. It is more fun and beautiful to create a dialouge rather than teaching someone what one thinks is right.
