This quite literally saved my life. You should be proud of yourself for making such an inspiring animation. It doesn't matter that it doesn't have a million views yet. For how young the animation is what it's got is phenomenal. I'd love to see more animations+art from you. Probably gonna do a little sketch of the boy and his dog later. @artist_of_nightmares. It should be up by tomorrow. Good luck on your next film.
The saddest part of this in my opinion is that his parents probably think he went for a nice walk and found a dog and would not have known about their son killing himself
I've suffered bad depression for YEARS, So too did my 24y/o nephew who found a private area in a newly opened state park in Va in Feb 2014. He didn't want to be found & he thought no one would EVER find him. His body was found hanged by a random lone jogger later that cold Sunday afternoon. I l never got over his death.
@Me. Yes, it is. He literally said he was about to break their jaw if they didn't shut up. But you obviously didn't take the time to look at what I was replying to.
I know the feeling. I starved myself as an and it lead to stunting my growth and causing other damages. But now, I use fasting as a way of keeping healthy. My desire to not eat is now a way of staying healthy instead of my childhood way of slowly and might I add, rather painfully, killing myself.
@@leaiamizusagi1128 Yeah but its a step for the better, the dog gave him another chance to move forward in his life, sure his problems won't go away, but at least he becomes more motivated to live.
i think it's nice how the dog saved his life and he saved the dogs. if the dog died before he showed up he would've died and if he didnt show up to kill himself the dog would've died.
Putting the obvious thing to the side, what scares me is the fact that somebody abandoned that dog and let it drown just for the sake of it, it is disturbing and sad, I'm glad both of them got to live safely after all
I also saw some sort of similarity in which the dog had a noose (leash) wrapped around its neck while in the water. Idk maybe I'm overanalyzing though.
@@mikebryant6388 2:22 i think what happened is the previous owner tied the dog to a log that he thought would be secure on land but was near the ledge. when the owner left to do whatever they were gonna do, eventually that log rolled off, along with the dog that was bound to the log with the leash, hence the camera panning to the other logs on the hence i think this makes a lotta sense
I think the dog was meant to be a parallel to the boy/be the one to help him The dog was caught in an over powering river and in a life and death situation but he was saved because he yelled out for help The boy has caught in an over powering mess of emotions and in a life or death situation but he saw the dog and heard it's cries for help and saved the dog and the dog saved him as well
The dog gave him a purpose. He thought the last thing he wants to do before killing himself is doing a good deed. The thing that was going to kill him saved his life and the dogs life. Pretty ironic
As a suicide survivor, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen because it turns what would have killed you into something that makes you stronger. Thank you for making this.
I like to imagine that he goes back home and his parents don’t wanna keep the dog, but then he tells them that the dog is the literal reason that he’s alive and the doggo stays with them.
It's funny how, despite the fact he was about to commit suicide, human curiosity gets the best out of him. He was so willing just to end his life yet he still had the urge to care for others! I really loved this film :)
@@xxsmiles1813 hey! I hope you'll be better soon. Keep pushing, even for a little bit. From one stranger to another, I hope you find happiness within this world.
I really hope his parents let him keep the puppy! That would be the most loyal dog ever! But take it to the vet first... see if it’s microchipped and if it is track down the original owner and MAKE THEM PAY! How dare they?!
Imagine his parents are like: “Oh my god honey where were you?” And this guy goes: “I was gonna go hang myself off a tree but I saved this dog from dying and now I just kinda came back here”
Sometimes when given a second chance… people like him don’t actually want to die but want to live to die another day… unfortunately a lot of people die by suicide and it’s a real problem… it constantly looms over me so I’m happy awareness is being raised. Nobody should deal with it and especially not alone. But tears aside very good animation!!
Some people deep down don't want to die but don't see another wayout, for a serie of reasons. Maybe their minds are playing tricks with them, maybe they haven't someone to give them support, or they think no one will care. It's a desperate act that never should be judged.
@@Hel7100 it’s the world we live in. Good people hurt the most. Good people suffer. Good people almost never see the light. So they find an easier escape one they may not ever have wanted but the one they got so they take it. And they lost. Because that’s society
@@Hel7100 well said. I’ve had suicidal thoughts a lot and even thought of committing suicide once but then, I don’t want to die. It’s really complicated and I can’t really explain it
Without the guy saving the dog, the dog would have died. Without the dog calling for help, the guy would have died. Amazing story, beautifully planned out
Its probably because he's been tying those knots. I've been tying them too recently and it does make my arms tired from moving them and all the pressure i have to apply to the curl part.
I like how at the end he’s fighting to live, unlike the other way he would’ve gone, where he willingly dies. He WANTS to live and was trying his hardest to keep going. I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but you are needed and loved! ❤️
I think that there is one thing that goes overlooked, and that's the setting, he's in the middle of the woods, usually a setting where characters get lost, like how this character lost what was important to him. But then he saw the dog in the river, something that only has two ways, and usually is the best spot for life to thrive, just like how the dog saved the characters life by realising what good there is, the setting alone is powerful
That's the point. Sometimes a thing that's usually meant to kill you can end up being the same thing that saved your life. And maybe even someone else's.
He probably just doesn't want to hurt people. I mean if he didn't care about hurting people or leaving them to rot he wouldn't have followed the sound of the distressed dog
I love how he used the thing he was gonna end his life with to save himself and something else. It shows how by living and fighting you’re able to do wonderful things even in the darkest time.
This makes me think. He probably never told his parent he was leaving. Did all the people in the missing section of the nightly news commit not living?
i can’t put it into words but it just really touches me how they were both abandoned or at least given up on by others, and all they needed were each other to survive that moment. it just goes to prove that the smallest actions can change everything in some cases. it’s sad how that boy probably had nobody else who believed in him. all it took was to see a representation of his suffering and worth in the form of something else.
I'm sure people believed in him, he just didn't know it, or maybe didn't care. No one did anything about it, because they simply didn't know. He always seemed so happy.
When he stared at the dog without reacting I thought to myself "man you're not gonna react". And then I thought about myself 2 years ago when I seriously thought about ending my life in front of my dad and sister. I forgot those feelings and need to empathize more with myself and those who feel much worse about life than me. Thank you for creating this short. I needed that realization
As someone who has seriously considered ending my life several times, and has only decided not to give up because my animals would probably miss me. This made me cry, and I’m incredibly thankful for the message it gives.
This animation is truly amazing. I remember coming across it, not even knowing what a noose was, when i first started struggling with mental health. Now, as I'm rewatching it after recovering, I feel emotional, knowing that it gets better. I see myself in this young boy (plus the dog looks a lot like mine). I love everything about this video. and to all of those thinking of ending it: don't. it gets better.
I remember last Christmas I was going to end my life but my mom was buying a puppy for us (me and my brothers) and I knew it would be difficult for her to take care of a puppy if her only daughter was dead, so I stayed I knew I couldn't let her go through that kind of pain, even though It was difficult to stay alive our puppy helped the pain fade a bit it made living just okay again.
@@zackblast_9416 yes I'm alot better now I've had time to pick myself up, and this quarantine has oddly helped alot with my mental health (I was around some awful people and not being aroundthem is great) thank you for your concern
5:22 For a second there, I thought that the whole dog rescue was just in his mind, and everything that happened was right before he hung himself. That this whole story up to this moment was just a thought, or dream. That his death was reality. So glad they didn’t pull an Owl Creek with us.
Okay oof let me just say, god what an amazing short. The thought of using something that symbolizes death, aND TURNING IT COMPLETELY AROUND AND BEING SHOWN TO SAVE A LIFE, TWO LIVES AT THAT, IS JUST, WOW.
Great character development. At first he wants to die, but then, after saving the dog and seeing the light, he’s actively trying not to die. Wonderful animation.
My youtube recommendations this year: _the family friendly noose song,suicide social experiment,how to tie a noose,Top ten people who were saved from ending it and now this_ ....So umm is RU-vid tryna tell me something...
hey, saw this while scrolling through the comments. if youre struggling and/or in dark times, just know that this random stranger cares about you, and that life is a wonderful and scary thing, but what you're going through is temporary, and it WILL get better :) your friendly internet neighbour (edit: typo)
I know this was posted three years ago but I just discovered it, and I wanted to leave a comment because something in particular hit me. It's a powerful metaphor, the boy taking the noose - the representation of all his pain and anger, everything hurting him in that moment, taking all of his heartache and turning it into something to help another. It's so hard to feel that kind of strength in yourself when you're in the dark places. Thank you for this. Even though I cried and I hate crying, thank you.
Speaking from experience, depression is one of the most devastating things that can happen to you; sometimes people take it lightly and just use it as an annoying phrase but when you go through this stuff and get through it there’s no greater feeling in the world after you have conquered what you have fought. I say speaking from experience because when I was twelve I went to an abandoned warehouse where I would chill out after school, once I was there however and these kids offered me some crystal meth, which, unfortunately, I took. I fell into a dangerous spiral of drugs and pain and it got to the point where I would start literally stabbing my own arm with a kitchen knife. This helped me but only made the pain greater, eventually I came to the warehouse one day and it was completely empty, no crackheads, no distractions just me and the world. After about an hour of lying on my back and thinking about how shit my life was I decided that the only way out was death and I walked to the edge of the ceiling on top of the warehouse, because it was abandoned it was just one big complex of floors meaning, no safety rails or any protection. I wrote a note to my mum and dad and brothers about how it wasn’t their fault and they should carry on living their lives without me and not be burdened, with that done I clutched the note in my hand and simply stepped off the edge. However, as I stepped I changed my mind, in that one millisecond I decided that I want to carry on and let myself die knowing I could of done so much more and I started viscously clawing at the passing wall and after what seemed like an eternity I grabbed onto a loose girder and pulled myself up. I sustained no injuries in this attempt and to this single day none of my family know anything about my depression, drug use or attempted suicide. I have however told my friends about this and they haven’t believed me until I showed them the entire notebook full of sorrys and to this day that notebook has been kept under my bed in a floorboard, along with a knife and drug bag. I like to sleep on top of them because it means I have conquered that horrible part of my life and if I ever start to feel sad or lonely I just remember how far I’ve come since that faithful day in the old warehouse. If your still reading this comment down to here, thank you for staying and I hope I’ve persuaded you not to even think about taking your own life. Bye
Thank you for this story. As someone who has also attempted suicide, I relate. I can't feel your pain, because I'm not you, but I've been through similar things. Stay strong.
Wow just wow. I am very sorry you had to go through that and I am glad that you changed your mind in such a short amount of time. I am not having the best life right now, I have had suicidal thoughts and still having them, my family have no idea how I’m feeling but somehow they’re the reason I’m getting through life at the moment. I get upset nearly everyday and am struggling to communicate with people at school. I have had my confidence knocked down. I am still fighting till this day, yet I am still having suicidal thoughts
Johnson Baron Caveler ok usually I make a coherent and understanding argument for people like you but EVERYTHING in that statement is wrong. First of all, the dog is the entire reason he didn’t kill himself, he found a reason. Second of all, it was a joke. Third of all, how in the world did you get THAT as the moral??? I think it was probably meant to be Even when you think you’re worthless, even at your very lowest, there’s always a reason you’re here.
Alby Forever yeah, i agree with that; but dogs shouldn’t be the answer as to why we are still alive. true, dogs, as well as other creatures, make people happy because of their positivity and radiating happiness, but depression is a mental illness that can’t be solved with just cute pictures of dog and motivational speeches. in the story, the boy was contemplating on committing suicide when he heard a bark, yes? he stopped to take a look and lo and behold, he saw a dog stuck on his leash, drowning in the river, correct? he had a change of heart from killing himself to saving the dog, and he did so. yada yada, cross river, get dog, put dog on top safely, then climax. the thing that made me say that “dog didn’t do shit” was at the end when boy was about to fall. i thought ‘hey! i bet that dog would hold the rope to save the boy!’, but i was soon disappointed. i get that realistically the dog couldn’t save the boy by pulling the rope since the boy was heavier. to clarify my interpretation of the moral of the story, don’t commit suicide just because you think the world is beating you, and *only* yo alone. others will suffer the same way, and there are people who have been there. those who committed it had a lot on their mind, so i can’t blame them (rip etika). but there are people who can help you, even if they have to risk their lives just for you, and i think that’s sweet. oh yeah, fuck the dog though. dog could’ve just hooked the rope to the trunk or log.
The part when he save the dog and also fighting for his life is when I cried because I'm so glad that he finds a hope on that darkest time of his life, this is a great story. And I'm also proud for myself that this reminds me of how I give my life a chance to experience more good things and happy memories I will have in my future.
It’s always kind of funny (sad funny) that so many other creatures will always fight to stay alive, yet we’re a species that, for all our understanding and love, have so many members who fight against the desire to end our lives every day. This is a beautiful short, thank you for making it.
This may get lost in the sea of comments but... ... Thank you for making this short film. No words can ever suffice how much I loved this the first time I watched Noose, and not even the second time I can muster anything out of my vocabulary except a thank you.
Even after SIX years of this animation being on the internet… this still made me cry. I was bullied to where I almost considered the easy way out. Killing myself. I’m… GLAD I’m alive. And to all those who considered suicide or nearly did take their own lives, I’m glad you’re still here.
@w¡Гd cåRd Okay just checking... that was dark, dude. And I think you're partly right. If you have a bunch of symptoms, you *probably* have it. Depression is common. A lot of people who aren't diagnosed have depression, but I (personally) think it's best if people go to a therapist or a doctor to make sure. Sorry for typing an essay lmao, have a good day lol
Things like that don't just go away... You don't just meet someone, or help a dog and have it fix you. Depression doesn't work like that, and neither does the urge to kill yourself. I think it more meant that he felt more hope and maybe that it was worth trying another day.
It would've been a good ending in my opinion. He gets to die and not be in pain anymore, but now he has to continue to live in pain and have a dog on his back as extra weight
Audrey Chavarin how come? The dog is the REASON the boy is alive. Like how you could call a spotted dog “spot”. I think reason, and/or Reece would be a great dog name
Crying is the price we pay for living. Whether it really is worth it is up to you. As someone who has dealt with suicide, I believe that it has been worth it. If you are still struggling, stick around a little longer. You might see that there is still something there that might make it worth it.
The scary thing is, we never really knew the reason why he try to do what he did. It drives the mind into unclear imagination and pushes very disturbing thoughts to the foreground.
I bet it's because his parents dumped his dog in a river, So then he got depressed, tried to hang himself then heard the dog, saw the dog and then he saved it and now dog is not in river.
I didnt know the kids name, anything about him, i never even knew what his voice sounded like, but the emotion and suspense in that 7 mins is more than i have felt in most movies
My therapist recommended a dog for me when I admitted to having bad thoughts about hurting myself. I got one from a breeder who breeds specialized dogs to help people with mental illness like depression and she's been with me for almost 10 years now. She's really helped me face the demons in my mind and I hope to be to get a rescue of my own one day.
My sister: You should watch this short film called Noose. Me: Why are you always trying to get me to watch things that'll make me cry?? Well, I did cry, but for a different reason then I was expecting. This was really beautiful. 😭
@Cameron Phillips I'm sorry... I don't want to be a spammer... but I just wanted to share my video because it is about animation too... and my channel is little
I love the symbolism of the noose, which is a tool that brings one death and loss, was turned around and made in to a tool for growth and the flourish of life. A truly lovely animation and thank you for bringing this into so many people's lives.
Phanic!at the Argø II ship I think he may have been pointing out the fact that before I edited it by adding an "a" and "to" that the sentence was a little improper. Although, if that is not the case then I am not sure by what he means.
i don't have an animal to live for anymore, but as someone who has considered ending it multiple times, the only thing keeping me from doing it at this point is my friends and some of my family. I'm lucky to have friends who care as much as they do about me cause they've helped me through so many things. this is honestly making me tear up, thank you for the message in this.
When u say "should have" ur implying that he should kms, so correct it and say "that he could have" srry.... My small percentage of humanity left kicked in
In the beggining when I saw the rope, I was like “Why does he need a rope?” And then it hit me ;-; poor guy. But most importantly whoever tied their dog to that river is an asshole.
Hey Something to do as an alternative to self harm for stress release: Draw a semi colon on yourself ; Because it’s where an author could have ended their sentence, but chose not to.
11th of November (tomorrow) is where if you have been suffering of a mental illness or suicidal thoughts anything like that you draw a semi colon on your wrist
At first, I thought it was about a person becoming depressed. Then I watched the animation. It felt very shocking an interesting because he had to make a choice to save two lives or end two lives. The ending was very interesting. I thought the dog thing was a dream. And the boy died. I personally think this was an phenomenal animation. Lovely job! Keep up the good work!
I have struggled with self harm and my mental health for so many years. I adopted a dog, her name is Vixen. She is very smart, and can detect certain physical and mental health issues. If it weren't for her in my lowest times, especially the past year, I'm not sure I could have made it through the year to be honest. As much as I hate admitting that, I hope I can at least help someone as they read this. Even if only one reason at all, find a reason to keep going. Things really can lift and get better ❤️
Hii i am an beginner animator and I would like to share my channel for other people's.. may you take a look this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mMFKOypsd6Y.html
I saw this on my recommended a couple times, and I didn't think much of it at first so I ignored it. Now I'm glad I clicked on it, because watching this video made me think a bit differently on suicidal people who take their own lives everyday. Whoever made this did a wonderful job!
