Broken Saints

it made every word sound like it meant something and you understood it. one of the most amazing arts iv ever seen and i think that every person on the planet should see the future of what this is. as i was doing my best not to get distracted when i watched it its not that hard to take every thing as you do because you want to no whats going and you don't wont to miss a frame. i think that it gives a big twist on life and will make you think differently on every thing. when you watch it you will have your own theory but you also agree with every one els's. the art work is amazing and how the hole thing is set out they've done thing that have never been done before. in my case I'm so glad that it wasn't band because i could see on haw it could be.

This series whispers quietly in the back of your head long after you finish watching it. The series is beautiful and deeply thought provoking. It just might change the way you see the world forever.

Seriously, it's that deep. I would advise those who watch the series to appreciate the slow pace of the series. There's much that is said through inferences, shadowy speech, and innumerable symbols so the slow pace allows you to study each word and facial expression carefully.

If you go beneath the surface and scratch at the truth behind the story, it really could change you. Like the opening menus on the DVDs say, "What would you give to know the truth?"

This is unlike anything I ever experienced. A new medium if you will. By the time you realize the depth of the story and characters it is too late for you too turn away. You will be hooked and changed forever. I have never felt compelled to write any words for a film or such but the fact that this production was done so under ( out of ) the Hollywood radar and succeeds on so many levels makes it a compelling success. Give it a shot. There is a darkness that holds this piece together in the beginning but it ultimately redeemed. Anyone feeling the pangs of coping in our auto-destruct, auto-pilot society will feel that they are not alone, indeed they have a friend and a voice who understands. The voice overs are brilliant .. try to pick out the Smoking Man from X-files. I would really love to experience this in theaters.. especially the ending in the cathedral.. check out the old flash web site for a taste I guess.. give yourself some time. This isn't a Hollywood adrenaline fix but rather the real deal Peace

I must admit, the first time I laid eyes on Broken Saints on Newgrounds.com, I was struck by the visual beauty and artistic tone of Broken Saints. However, my first impression was that the writers sacrificed an interesting and solid storyline for the artistic writing. Thus, I only viewed about the first 5 chapters.

About 6 months later, I viewed Broken Saints again, this time in its entirety, and found that this was not the case. Broken Saints contains one of the most profound, well-written, well-planned, and masterfully executed story lines that I've ever seen. It also contains well-written characters that are developed, identifiable, and three-dimensional.

Although the first 5 chapters are slow (because these are the chapters that establish and introduce the 4 main characters), the story quickly becomes interesting and by midway through the story (Chapter 12), I was hooked and absolutely needed to see the next chapter.

I must emphasize that this series is incredibly well thought out. Events are foreshadowed from the very beginning, characters change, and mysteries become untangled as the chapters move on.

Fans of The X-Files, Alias, and Lost would probably enjoy this series about faith, fate, and global conspiracies. I've certainly enjoyed the series enough to have bought the DVD (which includes wonderful voice acting). This is a must see and believe me, after Chapter 24 ends, you'll end up in awe and amazement.

I had to buy this set when I saw it, but I found it to be very different than the original version of the movie. Broken Saints began as a video made on Flash software for the internet and was intricately drawn and illustrated by an amazing team of editors. It was groundbreaking and stunning and reminded me of an even more innovative version of the illustrations in the original Watership Down. The redo of the movie is still interesting to watch but falls more in line with its contemporaries as far as illustration. The original also didn't have voiceovers, but I was surprised to find that this remake's acting was above average. The story is surreal and unique and is long enough to be satisfying during the long runtime of the movie.
