Mario: Back to the Start
Fed up with being bated into watching Flash videos, only to discover that it’s just a viral marketing ploy, or a means for the creator to express his vested interests? If not, then check out this flash video, which thankfully waits till the end to prattle off its pacifistic propaganda. Decent production and delivery through the Flash format, the only thing that upsets me is the blunt ultimate message. There’s no need to be so direct and frank; it really does sacrifice a lot of the artistic integrity. Allowing for many aesthetic and moral interpretations is much better than forcefully imploring one’s audience to a moral/political cause, in my humble opinion. I’m not saying that I disagree with the sentiments of the video, but rather I disagree with the way that they are finally imparted. With that single objection aside, I do rather like the Mario animation, and I think that, overall, it is a flash video well worth watching.
