http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf9K6SXDkXU&list=PLE063987A80A0A08F&index=70&feature=plpp_videoI saw this video yesterday, and I found it to be so good, that I can't sit idly by without sharing it. Powerfully heart wrenching, and deeply moving, is how I'd simply describe it. Apparently it was a short animation made by a Japanese comedian for a variety show. I think his video made a good point that he's capable of more than just making us laugh. Be sure to watch it a couple times, if you can, really pay attention, and you'll catch little things you missed the first time around.
I got re-entry burns on my finger from hitting the fave button so fast, though I'd love to hear what you guys think of it and spark up a discussion. I don't want to get too deep into describing it just yet though, I want to give people a chance to watch it and the thread to grow a bit before I start tossing in details.

From what I hear this film was made by Tekken, one of the best (and only?) flip book comedians today in Japan.
Though I'm sure everyone's seen that by now.
Anyone want to beta read a paranormal mystery novella? Here's your chance.

All pretenders to the throne.
While I agree Up is a great movie, and that whole sequence is marvelous, he reason I felt a lot more from the video I posted was, because it wasn't a perfect saccharin story. These were real people flawed, and vulnerable. They struggled and fought through a hard life, and even though they made mistakes they still loved eachother. The only real emotional bombshells in that Up sequence, was the pregnancy thing, and Ellie's death, and if you pay close attention there are a few subtle details in the Japanese video that just compound its force.
I don't claim to be an expert on Buddhism, but that didn't look like Buddhist reincarnation to me. Looked like a Judeo-Christian idea of the afterlife.
That's a happy ending, right?

There's a series of Thai life insurance commercials that also get me everytime, like this one

I LOVE the song that your avatar is based on.
Which is also, coincidentally, a cute/sad little video:
if you watch closely you see that the husband actually dies first, when he's running to give his wife the wedding veil, he has a heart attack. Thats why the pendulum stops and it goes from showing time passing as it swings to a full screen and he stops aging at that point. you can also see a shrine to him in the background when the wife is lying in bed.
I guess it's a slightly happy ending in that he waits around watching over her until they can be together again.
also, thai commercials really do have everything else beat for sadness, heres a few of the others:

She's like 16 and has no inkling of what her dad is saying or even why he's mute?
And who's buying the life insurance anyway? Him? He's not the one that tried to kill himself.
And even if he was, wouldn't that negate the insurance?
