that it extremely powerfull. I only say this because of how sad it makes you. Did the thing die at the end?

I don't know why everyone found it sad, i thought he was crying cause he was happy. I'm pretty sure kiwi's can't fly, so he set all of the trees up so that when he jumped off the cliff it looked like he was flying over trees that were planted in the ground. and like gigo said "it died following its dream" (of flying that is.) I thought the video was pretty smart actually.

thats exactly what it was. he spent most of his life nialing trees to the cliff just so one day he coul djump off and fly. It was a tear of joy but i still found it sad.

That's a pretty ingenious idea... that guy is probably going to work for Pixar... or I guess now Disney owns Pixar?

...wahhhh...
agreed. I actually found it a very good comparison to lacrosse. As said above -- working hard and following your dreams... When he was tieing the rope in the beginning it reminded me of stringing lacrosse sticks in a wierd way haha.
Very sad one you understand it...

I see hard work, perseverence, and accomplishment of goals. I see enjoying the fruit of his labours. I don't see death. I don't ever see the poor bugger in fear or harms way. Life's too short not to enjoy your accomplishments gentlemen.
Play hard and be proud of the mark that you are able to make.

You hear him hit the ground at the very end. It's kind of sad, but not something I would cry over.

Oh I get it. I never understood it. I thought somehow it learned to fly. And the trees were totally irrelevant. Lol. I am clueless

One minute and fifty seven seconds into the short the terrain obviously turns 90 degrees and the little kiwi somehow curves with it.
Now he's going flat.
He probably crashes into the trees and bounces up, pleased with his jackarse stunt.
You kids are so morose.

That is the coolest video ever. It shows everything that we should strive to do everyday of our lives, life for us isn't forever. That is a very happy video yet sad at the same time, but at least he was happy in the end. Very nice video, made me feel better for some reason.
