CRACKED: Animated Short Film

This story revolves around Faccia who grows up hearing “be perfect” all the time. That is why she pushes everything she has to be an achiever and to please everyone around her. She might be the main character but the mother and the cracked guy, Hannan inside the story seal the deal of the lesson of the film. The mother is created to show harsh words and pressure while the Hannan is for empathy. The film tackles both the spectrum and its effect on an individual.

This is amazing! I know what’s it like to try to be perfect. But really… No one’s perfect. We’re humans, everyone makes mistakes. Edit: Hey not trying to be rude I’m enjoying your replies but I don’t really like when my comments have too many replies it’s just I have social anxiety and I prefer if I had 1 or 3 replies I’m not trying to be rude just letting you know.

I knew someone who was treated like a “Golden Child”, poor guy after finally leaving high school faced a bitter cold reality that his gift was nothing but a mere illusion created by his parents and the school. I heard from my friend he fell into a bad depression, alcohol and drug abuse then disappeared from everyone’s lives, stopped contacting his friends and never heard from him again. He was really talented but was overly praised, put on a pedestal every day of his life, feel bad since he watched his other two friends succeed only for him to fall behind

[@Lizzylove6073]

As a Gifted Kid who’s suffered with Gifted Kid Burnout, this is incredibly relatable to me. It all starts staying up late, then having trouble paying attention because you’re tired, then seeing a bad test result and that taking a big hit on your self esteem, so you try to push harder but you keep on failing. I remember struggling to keep myself awake in class because I was so tired. I’m happy you made this amazing animation and I can connect to it a lot.

[@alanabaker453]

That’s horrible...I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Here. You deserve a hug.🤗 This video is a perfect representation of not pushing expectations on others to much... Flaws are difficult to accept, just like disappointment. But, that’s what makes things normal. If we didn’t have any negative emotions, we can’t let out our pain..if we didn’t make mistakes, we can’t learn from what is right or wrong. That’s the true meaning behind mistakes. Flaws are there to create reality and freedom for all of us. And that’s what makes us normal. 🙂😊❤️

[@scarletweb2106]

I'm sorry 😔 🤗

[@Venni202]

[@IceCreamBunni24]

I completely agree with you. I've been experiencing the same exact thing lately, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect and make no mistakes. It really takes its toll on people, and sometimes teachers don't see it. I hope you persevere through your struggles and remember that someone will always understand you!

I looked up the meanings of the names of Faccia and Hannan out of curiosity, turns out Faccia means "Face" and Hannan means compassionate, I really like the name choices because it describes the characters! (Faccia has a cracked face, while Hannan showed empathy for Faccia)

[@bochrainchirah4652]

wow ! There are many parents who put pressure on their children just for the sake of studying and winning a passport just for the sake of fame or reputation Also, an intelligent child who suffers from resentment towards his parents may fall ill due to fatigue or become psychologically ill due to the pressure and threats he receives from his parents. Also, if this intelligent child loses his grade or fails, he will receive a lot of trouble from his parents For example, parents say things that hurt feelings, hit their child, or put pressure on a child more than before, and because of all of this, the child can become crazy and do abnormal things or fall into depression and commit suicide. There are also parents who prefer their intelligent child over their less intelligent child, and this makes the less intelligent child lose self-confidence and He feels that he is a stranger to people or that he has no benefit in this world, and sometimes parents are very cruel to a less intelligent child and harm him psychologically and physically A less intelligent child can be so sad that he falls into depression and commits suicide .I hope this misfortune ends and they leave their children comfortable and happy

[@scarletweb2106]

That's sad 💔

[@bochrainchirah4652]

@@scarletweb2106 Yes, this is something that is very common among Asians, especially China and Japan. In China or Japan, parents prefer smart children over less intelligent children They ignore the less intelligent child and focus only on the intelligent child. Sometimes the parents insult the less intelligent child and are worse. Not only parents who mistreat less intelligent children, even teachers and relatives, almost the entire society does not like the child Less intelligent, and this causes many psychological problems in a child, and this is the reason why China and Japan are more advanced than us because they throw out less intelligent people and leave more intelligent people. This is racism! A person being less intelligent does not mean he is a failure This less intelligent person could be good at something else. Study is just a weapon in order to develop a future. In this world there are many things.

The only time my report card received attention was when i got a B... then it was "what did you do wrong?" "Why weren't you paying attention? "put your video games down and study". It all lead to me having a very warped sense of self worth later down the line - parents really need to think about how their expectations affect their children...
