La mort de Robespierre (CalArts short film 2024)

[@kingdm8315]

I'm a detail freak but did who saw the effect at 0:45 when he left the pen on the paper and the top of the O the ink started to slowly expand.

[@blalhber5447]

I totally did

[@sanderuwu2264]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed

[@crispyein8601]

I just realized that just before Saint-Just tries to stop Robespierre from harming himself, he reaches for his gun in order to shoot at the mob outside and realizes that he left it on the desk. Such good character acting, you can see him search, and then realize. This film is so so crazy and it makes me want to be better 😊

The use of a limited color palette, the character design, the script, the DIRECTION! This is brilliant. This short film works on its own but I would love to watch an entire movie in this style.

[@Window4503]

And the line art! The. line. art. is. a amazing!!

[@flo-zy1zu]

Holy fuck, Janelle... words fail to describe how blown away I am by this. It is such an honour and a pleasure to have witnessed your artistic development in the past years, even if only online. This video is phenomenal, and I congratulate you and everyone else who has worked on it.

[@SmileyFaceOrg]

WAAAAAA no thank YOU so much for following me throughout this journey for all these years.....I tear up a little looking back on all the frev years and all the wonderful people I got to meet because of it. I genuinely owe you so much for all your support and it makes me so happy and honoured to have known you this way. Thank you so very much Florent, salut et fraternite ! (also sorry for the terribly late reply)

[@Poseidon4862.]

From what I know about him, Robespierre seemed to become a ruthless autocrat near the end of his life. Even if he didn’t realize it, Saint-Just saying “To think we made that” after the shot of the guillotine held a lot of weight. Yet here we see a different, more humane side of the figure, in the minutes leading up to his death. Not empathy, necessarily, but guilt and regret. Truth be told, I had no idea Robespierre tried to kill himself, and even if I did I might not have thought much of it given how much else happened over the course of the Revolution. Short-films like these work really well to show sides of history we wouldn’t see otherwise, in extremely compelling ways. Well done Janelle Feng!

[@sageburner127]

In Robespierre lay the foreshadowing of generations of violence and madness in the name of revolution and equality. The Red Terrors, the Great Leap Forward, S-21 and the Killing Fields, the Gulags and the Holodomor- his shadow looks over all of them. The adage that revolutions eat their own exists for a reason, and it was Robespierre that first found himself as both butcher and chop.

[@augustin5611]

I would advise you to look deeper into the character of Robespierre. The commun view of him as the creator of the Terror, or a bloodthirsty dictator is nothing but myths created after his death.

[@Mrpersonman0]

​@@augustin5611 any recommended reading? Books or scholarship.

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

​@@augustin5611 He was a demagogue who thought nothing of the deaths his vile designs led to and who worshipped nothing but himself and the state he spilt so much blood trying to establish. When it was his turn to become a victim to the very same fire he started he tried to kill himself like a coward but thankfully he loved long enough to die like a dog to the very same brutal mechanism his madness profited from.

[@EPWillard]

@@RuthvenMurgatroyd it's more complicated than that, france was in a very precarious position facing pressures from outside as well as inside and it's very hard to maintain situations like that. people often move to violence if they think it can be used to preserve something good. the situation was desperate and they were trying to preserve the republic which was meant to raise up the ideals of the enlightenment and to fail to do so from their perspective would mean plunging europe back into the darkness of the ancien regime. it's not just your government that might fall it's the course of european history and potentially all humanity. if that's what's at stake a person can sacrifice almost anything and tell themself it's worth it.

[@tangledworm]

Wow, incredible! I loved your use of the comic book-like drawings/animations, especially the one at 4:17 and the still drawing at 5:09. Such a cool use of the medium! The limited frame puts so much emphasis on the drawings. and LOVE the hound creature!! holy cow I am blown away

[@LUDW1G-V4N-BEETH0VEN]

This. This is a pure art. I can't even express what I feel after watching, it's something deeper than just liking or admiration. The scene when Robespierre transforms into an animal that soon going to be dismembered... I'm shocked. Thank you for your hard work.

[@willowmaid]

Oh my f*cking gawd. This- this is it. No more needed. We've got the ideal Robespierre and Saint-Just. But let me just... the colours and shading! The comic pannels displaying action, the rain and the silhouettes, the fricking shadow of guillotine over Robespierre... Perfection, my honour, perfection!

[@katelynchester6690]

My wife likes to watch the CalArts films every year. I so often find them boring, normal derivative shorts.. This is absolutely incredible. I love the double entendre of "It didn't work", and the visual message of Robespierre believing he no longer has value as his whole self but the people should break him, and his ideas, down to take what parts they need from him.. I'm watching your career with avid interest.

[@MollyFox-gs3sl]

lemoncholy's character design video got a wide reach. casually watching it, in awe, I could've been convinced this was animation industry professionals having a bit of fun. then I went on a tour of Cal Arts in November 2023 and saw the looking for voice actors posters in the halls. I was so surprised aaaaaaa idk. it felt cool to look back at the video for your socials because I had realized in person you were cal arts students

[@Yuuteimiya]

I remember watching lemoncholy video about your robespierre art, now I can witness it being alive in this short movie, I'm so happy, thank you for sharing

[@Nousiander]

The animation, the sound, the framing and use of comic like squares, everything about this is wonderful. Brilliant work

[@ewaraczkowska7933]

This is a masterpiece!!! I've been following your art for a while now and I was so excited to see the film when you announced it. It's remarkable, and I will most certainly be rewatching it for hours. I adore the way you've stylised it in reference to silent films, the amount of visual space allows so well for the heaviest, most pensive moments to resonate. Also the crosshatching, I love that choice, it adds to the mood so well. I don't know if this is a direct allusion or not, but the shadow of the guillotine over Robespierre's head reminds me of the shadow in Abel Gance's 1927 Napoleon (we're all frev fanatics here we've all seen every single film). all the symbolism is brilliant, I was blown away by the shot of Archangel Saint-Just with the rotting animal Robespierre. "To think we made that" in relation to both the guillotine and the Rights of Man!!! Robespierre shooting himself with Saint-Just's pistol is so heart-rending... Also the voice acting (perfect!!) and the sound effects and the music, but especially the "brown noise" during R and SJ's conversation that further evokes this wonderful mood you've set up.... aside from all the articulate comments, the rest of my feelings are AAAAAHHHHHHH. best of luck i hope you graduate top of your class. (if not, stage a coup). someone PLEASE fund a full movie.

[@SmileyFaceOrg]

Aaaaa yes you spotted so many details!!! Thank you so so much it makes my heart so content to see someone analyze it and all the thoughts i put into it! Thank you again!

A wonderful event to illustrate. I remember listening to Mike Duncan talk about it on his Revolutions podcast and this really stuck with me. Though I did expect this to be far more violent :D

[@leahjorgensen1625]

As someone who was obsessed with the French Revolution in high school, this means so much to me. Seeing this love and care put into an animation of Robespierre and Saint Just feels holy. Brings back a lot of good memeories from that time too.

[@namakooo]

Stunning film!! I absolutely love the tension that's built over this short. The use of panels for the composition really add to the anxiety and urgency of the scene for me, my focus felt scattered as I was following multiple shots happening at once. That with the contrast of the much slower and simple shots made the atmosphere so perfectly heavy and tense! My heart was beating hard in anticipation for the last shot with the guillotine! Great work!!

the facial expressions he makes at 1:14 as he realizs Saint-Just is talkiing about the writingand not the guillotine is so amazing, like you can see him thinking about it as it registers

[@rkvkydqf]

The artistic direction is without a shadow of a doubt better than anything I've seen. And the visual story telling, music, the portrayal of suicidal ideation, the pacing and tension being built and released. I'm sure I hadn't sad anything others had not before, but I just wanted to say, both for the authors of this masterpiece, and regrettably, the algorithm, that this work and the people behind it deserve all attention and praise they can get. Thank you so much. I cannot comprehend the amount of talent and time to have gone into it. Thank you.

[@reytop5064]

Did somebody even noticed that at 4:06 on the wall on which Robespierre has leaned his elbows there was an excerpts of articles from the Declaration of the Rights of Man! That an amazing and well-made witty reference!

[@chornethefirstborn1768]

This is the best student short I have ever seen. The texture, the style, the voice acting, the sound, the use of the panels, the imagery of the skinned lamb, the MOOD, it's insane. Y'all are INSANE. Congratulations on the great work!! :D

[@CommonSwindler]

He did not truly die. His “virtue” reverberated in every revolutionary, blood-soaked despot afterwards who proclaimed their love for humanity so deeply, they were prepared to kill it.

[@reytop5064]

Oh... Did you know for at least, that Robespierre actually initially opposed capital punishment in the beginning of the Revolution? Or the fact, that to the end, he tried to negotiate with Danton and De Mullen, before arresting them and sentencing them for a death? If he was just a sociopath with a maniacal tendencies, he wouldn't do that

[@dagoobertron]

The revolution always eats itself

[@jeffreybrannen9465]

Yes. He hated Christ and the Church. Now he is the sacrificial Lamb and the Dove of the Holy Spirit watched over by the angels? Interesting artistic choice. The godless revolution. If so, the Madame Guillotine is Mother Mary. Or, Robespierre makes his own cross as if he were Pilate

I didn't experienced something like this for a while, the attention for details, the style and environment, minimalistic, yet complex. It's clever design, we see useage of a negative space, against which the hatching technique gives a nice contrast. The voice acting is simple and elegant, just like animation itself, lifeless voice telling so much about the character, and it well written. Bravo !

[@lestixa]

I've watched this masterpiece a several days ago now and, I must admit, it got completely stuck in my mind and didn't dare to leave it - not even for an hour, as I found myself rewatching it over and over again. So I absolutely must pour out all the complex feelings, emotions and reflections it had given me, everything about it is just SO perfect, heart-wrenching, detailed and thought-out!!! I love both the little things and the overall, the shading, the endless sound of rain, even if quiet, the color palette being so gloomy and cool, as if I could feel the coldness myself! and from the beggining I love how the outside looks just so cold, filled with apprehenshion and the rain, something in it really gives me chills... and the opposite of it should be this room full of light and warmth, but somehow... it doesn't feel safe either, it's just as dreadful as the foul outside, like the jacobins inside know that the four walls aren't really a shield that matters anymore. And then it always catches my attencion how Robespierre presses his pen against the paper, as if he begun signing automatically and then the thoughts about what he's doing flooded him and then weighed on him, causing his stillnes and pressing the pen out of tension inside him. And then that gloomy look at the guillotine, and its shadow being above him, foreshadowing his fate but also symbolizing all the guilt hovering over him. And then Saint-Just magically appears. I cannot describe enough how much I think about those words "To think we made that" that I believe can relate to both the guillotine AND the Declaration making such a GREAT contrast - the guillotine, the tool that brings death on one side, and the Declaration, that should have brought freedom, on another, somehow both made by the same people, at the same time... to think that THEY, who made the Declaration also made the guillotine, like, how did they even ended up THAT way, first wanting to free the people, then killing them ruthlessly... And all of this realization contained in this light "oh" of Robespierre (how I just love it, OH MY GOD!!!) Also those silhouettes of the people below like ghosts, wandering pointlessly, just as the jacobins have lost their hopes, left to simply wander around; but Saint-Just still trying to persuade Robespierre to have hope!! and the withdrawal in his voice when he says "I don't want to sign"... Did I already mention that I also absolutely love the voice acting??? the "What do you mean?" still being firm but also starting to reveal the worried tone!! then one of my favourite parts - the sorrowful muttering of Robespierre, the sound scarcely leaving his lips but it still shows SO much emotions, how he disdains and condemns himself after what he has done, how he believes he has become more of an animal than a human, an useless meat, but still having to give something to the people, even if it's merely his body, now only being worth putting his head under the butcher's knife. Then Saint-Just pulling him out of this trance to the reality that is no better, but still trying to give him any consolation he can.(how he holds his hand.....) and I also really like how Robespierre still turns his pen, not sure if to obey, like we can almost see his thougts and pondering through his actions!! AND MY ANOTHER FAVOURITE PART, when he pictures himself as a rotten (therefore not worth saving, "I wish you would leave me beind") lamb, the flies every time making me uneasy but I also think it just makes everything so real, with all the filth in the arms of the "pure" angel, still trying to be the sacrifice in spite of being rotten... Then again he returns to reality, this time interrupted by the beggining of the fight, staring at the gun left by Saint-Just... For some reason Robespierre's silhouette seen outside of the window also is just.... just heart-wrenching, I don't even know why, I just always got this feeling that the world is so, so cold, and perhaps it's that Robespierre seems so alone in this shot... How then he stands in front of the Declaration, turning his head to reveal an animal's skull, like he doesn't perceive himself just as an animal anymore, but also as a dead one. And the beautifully portrayed realization and then dread and helplessness at the same time on Saint-Just's face, I love the idea of multiple panels to show the rapidness of thinking and emotions and then how the "Robespierre" is messy at the end, as if the one who wrote it couldn't make it in time, just how Saint-Just couldn't, his shout also broken at the end, like the sign. I love the two "It didn't work", the second being muttered (I think) because of Robespierre shooting his jaw, not being able to speak propely, if at all. I believe there's also an ambiguity, for the words can reference Robespierre's attempt but also the overall of the revolution, that their ideas didn't work, resulting only in suffering. I also noticed how there's two drawings of Robespierre's face covered in blood, but the second has tracks of tears, whilst the first doesn't... I really, truly love all those details and that there's so much meaning put behind everything, the emotions being so raw, just as if I WAS there, when it was happening, like the french revolution suddenly became so ... close. Yet I still cannot describe just how... MUCH is this video, really, I will be thinking about it (and the whole revolution as well I guess) for many days more. Thank you for your work. It is truly incredible and touching.

Janelle this was beautiful! The quietness towards the end reminds me of elements of the Mandela Catalogue, especially when angelic symbolism is used. Such an incredible idea to compare him to a sacrificial lamb. The entire time it's visible how he feels like a dead man walking- but for him to "kill" himself instead of signing even before he goes on to actually be executed solidifies that. Congrats!!
