PUPPET: A Film by Patrick Smith



Uploaded by: UberMan5000
Video Description:
This animated short film was created in 2006 by American animator Patrick Smith. It is a story about a young man who creates a hand puppet that hurts him in increasingly gruesome and bizarre ways. It is a story of desperation, fear, and an ever-present question: does the puppet have a mind of its own, or does the hand want to control it this way?
This film is shown courtesy of the Portable Film Festival, http://www.portablefilmfestival.com You can also visit Pat Smith's personal website at http://www.patsmith.com

I'm not so sure ... ( 1 month ago by SamIamb)
I'm not so sure there's much "trying to convince yourself" when it gets at this point. It's mostly unconscious and natural, and (this is only my guess) it's caused by focusing on resentment or other negativity instead of finding ways to release or burn off the resentment. That's not in the film though. I'm only spewing what I seem to have learned. Not sure if I'm right, but I hope it helps.
It's not about ... ( 1 month ago by SamIamb)
It's not about being controlled by hand puppets. The puppets, I think, and not to be taken literally. They are a metaphor for what a person creates when his anger level has gotten self-destructive.

Actually, I'm worse than this cartoon dude. I wish I'd known better, and I did try to know better, but all attempts failed.
I have no tolerance for the word "masochist," either, although I suppose it's the proper word. This process happens unwittingly. Nobody sets out to become this way on purpose. I don't think ... well, now I'm arguing with meself and making meself into talking puppets so I'll STFU.
