"BROKEN" Better smashed than possessed! Animated Short by Patrick Smith.

It is better to be broken than be possessed by evil.
In this animated short film, Brittle glass characters are divided into two sides: the broken and the intact. The spirits that dwell within are either pure or rotten. The broken remain on their side, to waste away into shattered bits. But the shards have a healing property, a process exploited by an ambitious dark soul who desires to be whole, and part of a possessed, twisted, robotic tribe. But it is better to be broken and pure, than be intact and possessed. Once tripped, smashed, and deprived of his glass body, the dark soul timidly rises, twisting upward, but is soon ripped down violently, and consumed mercilessly by the unbroken. #animation In "BROKEN" we go beyond the broken wine glass trope, the world in which these glass people dwell has evolved. The wine cups from previous stories have been replaced by characters with spherical heads, just as brittle as before. They shatter easily when struck, but also they are pliable and stretch and move.
Directors note:
For some reason this film evolved the way it did.. a bit creepy and twisted, but meaningful nonetheless. In many ways this animation reflects my belief that evil is often found in what we perceive as beauty or perfection, and conversely, goodness is found in what we dismiss as "broken" or unworthy. It's interesting to note that many Catholic Saints were broken or misled prior to conversion. Regardless of the meaning that viewers glean from this animation, I truly hope you enjoy it, and please share as much as possible. Huge thanks to my supporters both on Patreon and the members on KZbin. I'm hoping that this piece will resonate as a meaningful animated short film. Thank you in advance for watching!

I seriously used to believe the white bird is the protagonist of the show. I even cried out so hard when it almost got killed. But the best thing is the bird is actually the best side by presenting the true reason of being “alive”.

My interpretation of this video would be about the different social status in the world; The brokens live in suffering due to their kindness, because the "smiley"s are taking advantage of it in order to reach this state bliss they seem to be in. However, since selfishness is what brought them to this point, the smileys aren't hesitant in bringing down those weaker than them, even those of their own. As they say: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" The other way I'd interpret the ending is it's showing how the rich and selfish will never be remembered in a good light. In any case, this is some very good wordless writing. It reminds me of the dilemma where you choose to either live in an immortal world of constant agony where every day, one random person gets to forever leave for a world of bliss, or live in an immortal world of constant bliss where every day, one person is sent into eternal suffering.

A strange detail is how the corrupted feel… robotic. From the lifeless grins, to the mechanical ticking when said grins contort, it just makes the unbroken seem soulless. Also, I noticed that one unbroken being held together by tape, presumably avoiding the gluttony of their peers.

[@PatrickSmithAnimation]

good observation about the tape! i didn't think anyone would notice that detail.

[@megareavermickeybot7985]

@@PatrickSmithAnimation I noticed it. I thought it meant that unbroken had been broken before. but it also makes since that they are simply trying to not break. So what do they need to eat to stay unbroken? or perhaps them needing to eat is like a metaphor for them trying to stay full? like even though they are unbroken they are actualy hollow in their hearts? iN SOMEWAYS YOU COULD ARGUE they actualy are Broken because they behave broken while the others merely look broken. In truth maye they are just a differant kind of broken. Because they look insane, they look more like they could go crazy and break at any moment. No one with such deluted smiles could ever truely not be broken somewhere. But being corrupt, isn't that a form of broken in it's own right?

[@PixiePrincess501]

"No good deed goes unpunished." Is how it feels at times. Some people give and help out of the goodness of their hearts, but they must be wary of those who take advantage of their kindness. The state of their souls also are symbolic: The one that died broken and miserable, but was kind, had a clean, unbroken looking spirit, but the selfish one that was whole again, had a dirty, patchwork looking spirit that was then devoured by the other "happy" looking ones. There is no escape when you cross "the line" to be happy by betraying others.

[@BaronVonMott]

One thing I really love about Patrick's work is that there's never really a "right" interpretation. He just makes these weird little artist animations that make you stop and think, and maybe consider things about yourself and others that you hadn't acknowledged before. With regards to this one, I personally see this as a warning about shallowness and conformity. It's better to stay true to your own identity, even if you are what others consider to be a "broken" or "failed" individual, rather than turn into a twisted parody of yourself trying to fit in with what's "accepted". Because in the end, all those who blindly conform develop the same self-centered mindset, and will not hesitate to tear your right back down again for their own gratification.

[@r32fan92]

I've just binge-watched the entire Pour series and I absolutely adore it. It perfectly encapsulates the views of Humanity. Religion, sexuality, politics. You're allowed to be one thing or another. You're allowed to have one view or another. You beat down those you fight with to be accepted by everybody else, and you force those weaker than you to suffer more. Lots are indoctrinated into a single way of life, and those who don't fit that mould are ostracised and ridiculed by everybody else. I'm gay and autistic; never fit in to that perfect mould that schools teach you to be and was alienated by everyone. These animations have resonated with me on a personal level because of this. Great work mate. hats off to you

⁠​⁠​⁠@@PatrickSmithAnimation The way it evolved is amazing the new universe in this film is diffrent then the previous episodes my understanding is thwt all the coruputed ones succsefly killed other brokens and reparied themselfs but because they did such evil they were cursed and possed so i think beacause of the robtic ticking when there mouth moves some larger enity is controling them it was aways trying to posses them but once they did evil then the evil force could possses them after it posses them they are cursed forever the momnet they kill another its a cursed life for them and when they die there soul is mangled and destoryed however there soul is still alive but when the corrupted soul got caught and eatan then it truly died because its soul was destoryed so for the other ghost its not really dead its just seprated from its pysical form so maybe it could go back into another body and maybe find a way to repair itself without gettting possed i think the bird maybe be a guardian angel and not just a bird because it has special powers for example at the start when a corrupted ate it it was able to just get out easily so it has special powers and at the end it tells the other ghost to follow it its trying to guide them. this is my intrreption when this contuines i can make more theorys on it ive read your interpitation to and one of the things i like about this series is that it is not set to one set of lore multiple theroys work your intrapetion works and i have read other peoples interiptations they all work and fit well with the story that is one of the things i like about this series. also thanks for replying to my comment!

The physiology of the glass people(because i'm bored): The glass people are bipedal humanoids with a body completely made out of glass, which their blood is visibly seen inside of. Because their bodys are made of glass, this makes them very fragile. A simple trip or fall could kill them. Oddly enough, those with a complete structure seem to be under some kind of trance with their eyes rapidly flashing color and constantly in a smiling state. As if in a state of transcendence. Those whose bodies are fractured seem to be more mentally stable, but they are doomed to eventually shatter away... However, its not too late for them to save themselves from certain death at the cost of state of mind. As in a odd bit of biological discovery: they easily cab repair themselves by re-attaching glass shards to their missing areas, which their bodies absorb and reform as their own. Some may fix themselves by either scavenging for glass parts from those recently departed, or in the case of a desperate few: they will smash others of their own to achieve their goal of fixing themselves. At the end of their lives, when one is too fractured to continue. Their soul leaves their body permanently forever flying on the horizon.

the way i see this... the unbroken/intact are preceived as those that seem perfect on the outside, but is filled with evil on the inside with little to no room for a soul to live, maknig the body soulless, further recongized when the unbroken are robotic in movement, and have nothing to express, other than a grin and crazy eyes. and the broken are preceived as ones that are less than others on the outside, but is empty of evil, with space to allow something beautiful to live, the soul. a broken saw that he could have pieces put together, helped by one of his own, he took advantage of this, taking a piece to fill in the broke hole, take what his friend had, and become intact with the last piece. but the spirit of his friend came back, and made sure his friend did not get away scot free, but sadly he was gobbled up by the unbroken, preceived as him being gobbled up and killed by real evil.

After this I went and watched all of your videos, your POUR videos sometimes twice. Your animation and way of storytelling is phenomenal. I am absolutely in love with the characters and worlds you create. Only something someone with genuine imagination could come up with, I’m blown away. I can’t wait for your next upload. Just don’t work yourself too hard.
