The Turning Point

New anti-consumerism short film by Steve Cutts, could be a sequel of his previous Happiness (2017).

Loved the song by Wantaways.

This is a deeply haunting short film. Shot in the style of an animated music video, it delivers a powerful protest against climate change, industrial pollution, and the extinction of species-driven by human greed, corporatism, and consumerism.

In the story, the roles of animals and humans are cleverly reversed: animals run the urban world and pollute the planet, while humans die en masse as a result.

It's not an easy story to digest when framed this way. Instead, it really forces you to reflect on how broken our system is.

It's definitely food for some serious thought. I would recommend watching it.

We know how human exploits nature and we have seen a lot of short films about it. Steve Cutts himself has made a short film Man (2012) on the same subject. But something interesting transpires, humans and animals switch roles. Animals learn how to use nature and start treating humans as trash cans. A very interesting idea, indeed, and it's made beautifully. Very impressive.

A realistic portrait of near reality. In the clothes of parable but not far by obvious manifesto Happiness by the same Steve Cutts . The virtue - you feel it be more than the ordinary message from different ONG s. It is just pure reality , out of propaganda or pledges. And that does it profound useful. Like a cry

The animation is pristine The accompanying music is catchy enough The visual element is undeniably good I shed a tear however I think it's just emotional manipulation and I don't see this cartoon affecting anything on a grand scale Is the point to wallow or IS this activism?
