PETRICHOR - Animation Short Film 2021 - GOBELINS 

I think it's the old safety vs freedom trope, but they managed a good balance.

I think the moral of this story is the whole nature is good philosophy is bullshit and eventually humans will find some way to return to the status qou. People romanticize this notion of nature being better than modern industrialized society, that we should return to the stone age and live in harmony with nature, but in reality nobody wants that. They want the pretty Eden we see in this short not the duststorms, the starvation, the fire, none of the ugly crap. So we build shelters, make tools, and soon we automate things and eventually the cycle continues again. Edit: thanks for all the likes but I’d like to update my take. Living as nature hippies is stupid but also I personally don’t like big cities. People are annoying, there is crime, I think living in small suburban towns out in the wilderness or in modernized pastoral communities is the perfect sweet spot of not over crowded but with all the modern conveniences and comforts of our civilization. Ideally most settlements should be like this but sometimes we do need those bigger urban metropolises to trade with, I just don’t think we need as many and we should make space habitation more plausible and more affordable. My ideal future is an earth that is green and mostly clean with space ports and off world colonies built more for mass human habitation. We can have colonies that act as giant planet wide metropolitan cities and others for more pastoral or semi pastoral communities so we can get all of our agriculture.

People are too subjective and avoidant of immediate pain. The creation of society is the avoidance of the beautiful and unpredictable chaos of truly living. We were always made to create and incorporate the environment into ourselves, and through that things of our manufacture can be considered a part of nature. The nature-industry dichotomy is a false one, and the idea of nature allows for the expansion of the other with formal structure. People are loathe to reach out of their perceived social groups when they have been raised to be accustomed to them, and should continue to reach out to others and create with them, recognizing that they as a group affect us both positively and negatively (with the scene of peace but also the chaos of panic). Not recognizing this interdependence and oneness leads to the isolation and exploitation of a lot of our modern societies.

@@rocketboii9400 this comments reeks thesaurus energy bro im sorry

@@sarasuarez5529 I too agree.

That's sweet.

I like this take. I see a lot of people suggesting it is just them continuing the cycle, but I agree that it is more about balance.

Balance doesn't exist it's just what you perceive being what would be traditional for your time. 1920 would have seem like the most decadent time of all for our ancestors while today people talk about that time as the time when "kid played outdoor". What you call "too much engulfed in technology" is only what you are not used to and perceive therefore as too much.

@@angemalaurie6074 I like your point but balance does exist though. For instance you need to be exposed under the sunlight during a certain amount of time every day to get enough vitamin D to be in a good health. Similarly you need to socialize ie see and talk to other people to be in good mental health.

I did go away

for real, that squishy white wall noise really sold that moment for me.

@Lisfa Ensa 📽️ My god, IT'S A CUBE! RUN!

The ending terrified me ! I was like oh no they are repeating the cycle

@@Uffaaa355 but may they travel, explore, seek, and venture under terms less restrictive than a closed box?

lmaooo yeah, can be confusing, but i think the ending is more about finding a "great balance" between the beauty and freedom of the outside world, but the safety and confort of a socity. somehow, humans can't ive in a wild world, they ain't "animal" enough to survive outside alone, especially against nature. yet we need freedom, and feeling trapped makes us feel deppressed over the time. that's why we should find a balance between them both, i think that's the message of the short film : balance.

I don't see it that way, I think it's just about finding the right balance between technology and nature

Thanks a ton Miko for helping us out. How’s your hand now? .

That fire was actual fire, very fantastic

@@nilayandeysarkar3404 A bit better. Thanks for asking. :)

Are you guys the animators? Wow, this was amazingly animated.

@Lisfa Ensa 📽️ How dare you use this comment section to advertise your seedy,pornographic business,shameful.

It's a new batch every year. Not the same ones. These are each year's graduate films.

Truly! The artistry is fucking fantastic

Wowww this is awesome insight. Thanks for sharing.

Uh

That is a good idea.

that sounded like marvel xd

人类从群聚到建造城市抵抗自然，只为了更好地繁衍下去。当城市越来越发达，社会制度越来越完善，人类慢慢地会被剥离掉自然的属性，成为社会制度枷锁下的奴隶，结局是否会像白鼠乌托邦的实验那样呢？

In truth our ancestors had advanced civilizations much older than the "recorded" history we learned....

Thanks Rodrigo, for helping us out when we needed the most. It was awesome having you with us.
