We Lived in Grass

[@JSAVACADO]

I love how the story, art and themes all feel very grounded while maintaining that fantastical child-like perspective. Great stuff, very beautiful, and a little creepy.

[@ivancorredera4241]

Can you please help me? What is the story exactly, what is its meaning, and what's up with the ending.

[@stoplight2554]

i think this is about the cycle of abuse the child grows up in a dysfunctional home and learns antiquated and wrong ideas from his father, who is neglectful and abusive to his mother. the father is self destructive, dying because of the abuse he inflicts. the child then repeats the cycle with the dandelion girl, abusing her and destroying her and himself.

[@itztcptb521]

this is why its called "the circle of life"

[@sur-r.e.a-_tis-ch]

@@itztcptb521No… Its not? What makes you think that…

[@gimmekromer1151]

literally...

[@riverbandit2138]

Feels like a kid being introduced to the world for the first time. Good and bad. Dreams portraying dark desires, but desire he won’t act upon.

[@ATLDASH]

Basically, this is about an intelligent child unsure of his place in the world, with no one but the world to teach him, born into a dysfunctional family. The father, a lazy bum but loves his children (and making them). The mother, the one that attempts to keep the household under control, accepts the father's seduction, and ironically takes care and neglects her children. The siblings are children without positive role models that run destructive. The tiger (and the slaying of it) represents sexual conquest with the dandelion symbolizing the boy's sexual mate. The laughing doll is his nightmares that are based on the household issues he's forced to deal with. You watched a animated film that you think people that eat mushrooms hallucinate. I watched my childhood.

[@sewd8438]

thA fucc I find it great that you took time out of your day to explain your interpration or view of the story, but that last comment made me judge you in a not good way.

[@Demogorgon47]

I disagree. I know *EXACTLY* what the guy is talking about. :D

[@GirlWhoLikesBugs]

i can relate. my parents never tried to keep it together though, from what i can remember they were too high all the time to care.

[@DrLeavingsoon]

Bravo - an intelligent synopsis at last!

[@iipomoeaa]

As a kid this film resonated with me so much but I wasn’t sure why. As an adult I wish I understood it sooner. Such a great film about finding your way in an absurd world as a child with flawed or minimal guidance, and the road of repetition it can carry you down if you’re not careful. You can kind of sympathize with the parents, the dad is just an oaf lost in his own world who doesn’t see the flaws in his ways or the impact it has on the family. The mother is stressed beyond belief and neglects the issues right in front of her, going through the motions of parenthood but feeling trapped in an unsatisfactory life, and dealing with it anyways. All parents want to try and get it right at some point, but for many parenthood becomes far more stressful and cooperative than they’d anticipated, and their mistakes or shortcomings can very well be reflected in their children.

[@BraveCat9927]

What i think this is a an animation made from the point of view of every character at once, and portrays abstract but deep messages. its seen from the kids perspective as some mysterious world, like everythings a dream. and notice how the 'kids' never seemed to grow up, even though one of them smokes a cigarette then gives it to the cat and another is rollerblading around like a champ. Like how moms say they're children will always be their babies. and the man, he was always stuck in dream land, like any man would be, he didnt care if his wife was happy, he just had sex, and then went to dream land again. The intensity of the kid's nightmare was so vivid, i feel like I've had nightmares like that, with those same strange noises and crazy shit going on. and the circular object he is flying on in his dream also has meaning.

[@lynxvsjackalope1149]

I come back to this now and again and try to make sense of things. It makes sense to conclude it's just about a child from a dysfunctional family, but it's easy, then, to leave a lot of details out. Why did the artists choose to feature that weird pedestal the child floats around on in the final sequence the way they did? Why did the Dandelion Girl suddenly stop acknowledging the child when he came to her following his father's death? What, exactly, did the Woman at the End of the World represent? I still can't quite work it out for myself but I adore this film a little more each time I watch it.

[@doublebunny6257]

I found this video when I was in highschool. Junior year. I'm 20 now and I just can't stop thinking about it and watching it. It's so Just raw in its most natural blunt form.. I can see how its leading to the child's perspective but there is so many strange aspects that make it seem so much more then just that. It makes you think what exactly was that understand or perspective for it to be represented in that way? I wish I knew.

[@paraguaijin]

the child has mother abandonment issues, so the pillow/pedestal is his source of warmth i came to conclude the Dandelion Girl is his muse, the source of his artistic inspirations and that instead of being part of a normal poor family he "wanted to fly away like the dandelion girl". but when his father died he realized he had to leave behind both his source of warmth and his dreams of becoming an artist, and he burned them both down the Woman At The End of the "World" is just a hooker at the end of his street. his father said "catch a tiger for the best tits you can find" and it became prophetic with that woman: "become a man and i'll have sex with you". but in a dream he decided to kill the tiger, to not let himself go along the savage, macho path other kids in his neighborhood were following. thus he distanced himself from them and found something more interesting: art (the Dandelion Girl) well that's my take, but Hykade eplained it all himself a little different in books.google.com.py/books?isbn=0231161999

It's like a ''pocket philosophy''

[@acufen00]

absolutely exquisite

[@Michaelperry581]

Damn... That was beautiful.

[@koroconnell]

Damn... Very high concept, but unquestionably a coming-of-age tale; when you can unity simplicity and complexity this easily, you might just be a genius *_* Love it! (also what about this says "porn" to you people? yes there's sex and nudity in it, welcome to the world of art)

[@Big-Chungus21]

Porn is very different, porn is made for someone to be sexually aroused by it, this is made to make statements on peoples perception of sex.

[@mutableparameter4598]

The story is about an intelligent young boys journey to true enlightenment. He never really fits in as his dreams ensue a figurative version of his reality. You notice the chaos in the family and heavy symbolism towards the parents being "normal" by the animalistic routines they enact day in and out. The boy leaves home in search for himself and finds tiger that he has to tame and then slay representing overcoming of the beast instinct to survive. He reaches the other side so to speak and goes through the door to reveal the dandelion queen who hands him a flower when he transcends reality and realizes he is the source of his own "dandelions". The Queen representing some sort of nature entity.. He finally reaches enlightenment. Or so he thinks. Because he gets back home and all the shits the same with his family. It starts to rub off on him and he doubts that he was the source once conscious. The father dies representing the death of the masculine energy that disrupts our hero who spirals back into the nightmares for a long time I what seems to be he'll mirrored again by his normal home until he gains true enlightenment at the end where he becomes the dandelions flowing with wind. Epic video.

OMG YOU SCARED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME WHEN THE KID HAD THA NIGHTMARE!!!

[@masonmuffoletto]

10/10 analysis this is the best comment on this video

[@kenzieham]

someone please explain the part where whenever the dad showed up, there was drawings always moving around him? and why they stopped when he died?

[@Tyyyyuru]

He looked to his father's ideas about life and was lost when he died. It could be work, politics, or religion.

[@kenzieham]

oooh thanks!

[@jestrel]

Also if you notice in the beginning he was content with it. It could be fantasies and the representation of day dreaming. And when the wife showed the child with him. He started playing with the child and the drawings popped up.

[@yevakiperman9040]

I thought that they represent his fathers own childhood trauma, and he passed on to his son

[@doublebunny6257]

Because his father lives in his own world and idealization rather then accepting what is true. “All woman is whore and all man is soldier” is one of his many unrealistic perspectives of life that he passed down to his son. So his son tries to live out that perspective that his dad created. But it was his fathers world and ideas not his. So when his father died, so did his day dream of the false world he was living in.

Really powerful stuff. But I think the references to testicular cancer and apparent relationship to male sexual violence and obsession could cause considerable distress to the many men who suffer from TC and do not have those attitudes and behaviours. Any man can get TC.
