The moral is: we should not fear death. We should live with it. When the time comes we should meet it with understanding.
wonderfully said
couldn't have said it better
Just the way he says it makes my heart wrenching worse, but is well said. You can definately see it in the deer (doe?) 's actions.
Inkblood Lol, feel better?
I wouldn't call it a moral -- that would constitute right and wrong -- and while the thought is poignant, and certainly romantic (in the actual sense of the word), it does seem a rather cliché platitude, and personally, I would think it arrogant to not fear death: there is nothing wrong with being terrified of finality.
**:deer dies** me: **starts crying dramatically**
@F.u.c.k Go.ogl.e Ok buddy, have you thought about getting help?
SAMEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@F.u.c.k Go.ogl.e Uhm... Wtf
...i_i
@F.u.c.k Go.ogl.e well, seems like you're a bot too then. Wait. ...bots Don't jerk off. Okay then ani....hell no. You're not definitely human too because having feelings is human. I believe you're a jerk then. Jerking off to perhaps any of your family member too?
Death was ashamed of himself, hating to have to kill beautiful things. All he wanted was friends and fun. The deer helped Death realize that nobody is angry at him, and that letting his friends move on is caring for them.
Death is reality
Well said......
Επιτέλους ενας ανθρωπος που καταλαβε το νοημα της ταινιας
He wasn't ashamed of himself. He just realized that he held the power of taking life with one touch of his hand. And it's not that he wanted that power, in fact you could see that he struggled with it, but it was his task and he understood it and knew what it meant. In the end, he reluctantly gave rest to his best friend, and felt the grief of it. I think if I had to think of it in a spiritual sense I could imagine G-d loving us just as death loved the little deer. But like death, G-d realizes that He must deliver us to our death. Though it hurts, he does it. But it doesn't mean He doesn't love us. It's simply our time.

My kitty cat passed a month ago. I hope death was as gentle to her as it is depicted in this movie. I love you, Noki. ‘Til death did us part.
Very sad to know about your cat RIP
Sorry to hear about your cat. Death is a very misunderstood being, nobody is exempt from dying.
Eu entendo
Very good
🖤 Hugs.
I love how death isn't portrayed as malicious, but a curious being who just wants to explore and have a friend
Being Death is hard. The hardest bit is living with no one to hold in your arms...
The deer's death...
"Death Buy Lemonade" shows death in a very similar way, and "Grave Mistake" shows Death as actually caring about who dies, and brings back people who shouldn't have.
:)
u love death?
This story made me cry, but I realized, there comes a time when we all need to take a rest.
After the after after party
I read this and my heart breaks I'm bearly resting My tears
All good things must come to a end...
I realised death walk with us in the same way shown in this video.we dont know what instense it touches us and every thing is finished.
Rest is not the rigth word, and Do you people wonder why death is created in the first place?? Do you even know why even life has been created?? ,Do think it is without any reason or purspose??
Notice that towards the end, the rest of the pack leave, but Death's friend start to struggle to breath and stand. She knew what death was and knew it was her time. Those little details just make this story that much more beautiful and heart wrenching.
I watched again this 2024 to see if I cry again after many years, and yes is still the same feeling.
Same
Me too
me too
*It hurts watching someone you loved fade-away in your arms and thinking it was your fault that it happened*
This...happened to me... they passed as they were in my arms... I never want anyone to ever feel that.
Losing love in any capacity is debilitating.

Jeff The Killer :v
I remember I had my first dog when I was a baby and he was pretty young but some type of infection got in to him and then while I was holding him be died in my arms and my mom was recording 😭
That moment when they hug I could feel the deer saying "thank you for everything"
And “thanks for being my friend”
@@wildwanderer3766 yes
Yes that's it
Stooop, you’re making me cryyyy
@@bres.9806 yes me too
Why, out of all the short movies that get all these awards, has this one never garnered any? I found this five years ago and I showed it to my kids. Now they request it. May they learn (as I have) that Death is an old friend!
13 Million views and 89000 Comments and still going... It's more than recognised. Worth more than any award.
It itself needs no reward after being a rewardful story
The way Death gently lowers her to the ground 🥺
Death: Lays Down Grass: *I am inevitable.*
Just grass
You are right how does grass live
@@camo8762 Cuz grass doesn't care
I--
Grass does not give 2 nuggets and a biscuit about death!
Life once asked death" why doesnt anyone love you ?" Death replied "because i am a painful truth and you are a beautiful lie"
True.
Wait a minute! shouldn't we hate both? I mean Life brought me to life and in result welcomed death to join me on my 70 years journey.
So true
just get your brain into a bionic body and you live infinite
Hats off to u dude.
7 years later and this still hits hard
In my opinion, the character of "Death" touches the animals not to kill them but because he wants to touch something, to play, to have an embrace. This is clearly evident when he touches the flower and it withers immediately, shocking him. So in the end, the deer chooses him to touch and give him the embrace he was seeking. It was time for her to die. This is apparent because the deer seems to tremble and not be well when the others depart. Very, very touching from every perspective.
Death loomed over her. Over the many years that it followed her she got closer and closer to it. Sleeping along side her, being with her while she ate, and watching over her family. Over time she grew old, weary, or sick. She knew it was time... As her family left the forest to graze she stopped. Pausing only for a moment and looked back to the death that had watched over her. She walked towards it calmly. She had lived her life; with understanding and trust she embraced death. The friend that would come for her and all that followed.
nice
That made me cry
@@GemStone-HGL- me too :(
Im crying oh my god that was deppresing but beautiful at the same time
Shred a tear
*Whatever death touches, dies.* The grass: *"Am I a joke to you?"*
Death only comes from his hand, not his feet.
@@selenopheria Well, true, but what about when he kneeled down in front of the deer (like in the thumbnail)?
@@fantasycreature123 chill man who even cares about grass afterall
@@NiggaSlayer7 many ppl dont care on deer as well
@@NiggaSlayer7 animals do-
I never imagined that death can be represented in such a beautiful manner
Notice how all of the other animals lay down immediately and fell into slumber the moment Death touched them, but in the deer's case, at 3:40 it did not, as Death (I guess) himself don't accept it, but seeing the deer tolerating the pain, Death hugged it with acceptance and peace. Just a realization that made me cry even more.
if death faces you, and you face it back. you can be at peace with yourself. face your fears and relate with your enemies.
Yeah... even if your enemies poop better than you.
I am ways ready for when death comes
Jesus? Is that you?
Sometimes the best animations, are the ones with no words, but only emotions to tell a story. Edit: and music.

In the end, the deer seemed weak and unable to keep up with the others. She understood what would happen if death touched her, yet she did it. She knew that he would put her in a better place and not suffer from exhaustion And being old
Your wisdom tells the truth
Yea..you are wise
@PRATEEK what the dear just died it dont stopped existing
@PRATEEK uh i did not say that the dear has gone to the afterliver or something like that, i just said that it died and it dont stopped existing the dear exist in memories and their corpse is still there.
@PRATEEK and is now deteriorating, so the dear corpse will stop existing and the other dears may forget a bout the dear.
I’m not crying, you’re crying... This is just so beautiful, man.
Dam, you caught me.. I held off most excessive tears. Must have uh.. Overlapped T-T Before i would finally watch it. Apologies!!
Its hard to believe that this video is already seven years old and its still being loved by people around the world❤
It is and every now n then I come back to watch it and check the dates on comments.I love this and it's standing the test of time.
Yea ,she hit this one outta the park & as long as she leaves it up it will affect everyone who sees it & has a heart .
I love the way death was drawn as a human, but with animalistic motion. The way he sits, the way he lays down... It's very visually interesting, making him seem like a whole different sort of creature
I liked that too. But did anyone else wonder why the grass didn't wilt when Death touched it when it laid down next to the deer?
Yea hes cute ;( he's sad
Thats very sad😰
I think he was mimicking the deer...
I just saw this on facebook The kid is dying and life and death are watching the kid survived it and life screamed "yay another point for life" and life look at death and death said "haha i love losing to you life" and then life said "don't worry i know my people will have a beautiful place when they die i trust you death" and in my mind i realized why are we angry with death i mean he frees us from suffering and just accompanies us to somewhere and not really take our life.
I'm feelin pretty good today, ima go on youtube for a while. *Oh......ok*
All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ! i feel the same way. Awesome name btw!!! XD
I was literally crying 6 minutes ago cause I was watching an animation about greyhound racing
+crystxl pop I watched the Same one it's really sad that it really happens. not the dogs going crazy but they get hurt and then there owners put them down
crystxl pop yeah I watched that one too

still making me cry all these years later...

Even after seeing it for the first time years ago, it still punches me at the end. Everything from the animation to the backgrounds to the music and the silent storytelling just add so much. I love this short
Damn. This actually made me tear up. It was very beautiful.
+ArcticWolf125 Thank you!
Marsha Onderstijn Your very welcome!
+Marsha Onderstijn One Question: The Deer and "Death" had a very good time together. So why did they end it?
+Admiral Domo Look at 3:15. The Deer just got old and couldnt run off with everyone anymore. Thats what happens to everyone, if you get old you are not fast enough anymore. The Deer accepted that and touched Death to be released from her (i assume) pain because it was her time to die.
+ArcticWolf125 Same... :(
I fell in love with the way how the death looks ;-;
ikr?
the question is : is a he or a she?
+XxReggiexX 357 Does it matter? Aand I think Death is genderneutral or something :D
Oh ok

Was für ein wundervoller, trauriger, hoffnungsvoller Film...ich sitze hier, mit Tränen in den Augen und Trauer im Herzen, aber doch mit Hoffnung, daß auch ich eines Tages so gehen kann, in Frieden und mit einem Willkommen an den Tod...
Seit Jahren gehört dieser Kurzfilm zu den Berührendsten, die ich je gesehen hab. 💗💗💗💗
I don't know how many times i've watched this and I still cry every single time. Love the meaning behind it.
Omg i just watched it again and even though i knew it was coming im still crying. I had to set my phone down ten minuts ago and i just couldn't stop. Though i would hug death if it gave him a little bit of happiness.
😭😭😭😭😭IM CRYING I LOVE IT AND HATE IT
Don't cry just watch and have fun!
I cry every time too, it hits me so hard
@@finny1044 Im telling ya'll it's super heartwarming and sad!!

i mean why is this so true

You can’t even spell
This is so sad because death didn’t want to hurt the deer. He finally felt loved. when he hugged the deer he realized that he hurt it. it’s so sad that he will never feel cherished
Well the deer touched him and then death hugged it
At the end, the deer needed Death and accepted him with gratitude.
@@EleneDOM exactly. Much like our pets look to us to help them when they know they're too sick to go on in pain.

I watched this so long ago, and I’m back and I can somehow relate to it. It seems like whenever I’m actually trying to be myself it makes other people unhappy.
Death ☠️ must be the loneliest existing thing. It can’t have friends, it can’t associate with, everything it touches, eventually dies!!💔

@Teagan Brennan the deer knew it was her time
So true
I honestly feel bad for death. Imagine you just want to feel the warmth of a hug but whenever you try to hug someone their life just fades away.
I think ill always come back to this every few years. It has had a special place in my heart for a long time
Death can be patient and even kind, and will wait for a time when you are ready to move on. There are those who see death as a friend, and welcomes it as a release from pain and misery and hardship. This is true for so many countless people who had passed on.

Alois Salt Ya. There are. Your point being? We already understand this. The world is a shitty place where wars and murder happen. It really is. Does that mean you have to say something like this to point it out?
I don't know if anyone noticed but the deer trembled weakly before going to death... I'm sure this deer new if they touched it would die. Death is immortal and the deer was not so it would have grown old so it may not have even been deaths touch that killed the poor thing it might have just been her/his time and would rather die in deaths arms..
The deer knew it was her time to go....
Duo Chip btw its a female deer so a doe, you can tell because she doesnt have antlers
Duo Chip it's her
Duo Chip Actually death helped it pass away from suffering
Duo Chip Her the deer is a female
When I need a good cry, this does it, everytime.
Even after 7 years, this is still one of my favorite short animations
I’ve refused to watch this for years after it making me so sad the first time. Today I walked in the vet with my dog and never walked back out with her. I knew what was coming and her eyes looked at me just like the deer looked at death “don’t be sad, I’m going to feel better once it’s done” I came home and tried to nap a couple of hours later. During my nap I heard sounds of her by her bed and then what sounded like her walking around the room. 30 minutes later the doctor called and told me she went into cardiac arrest and attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful. R.I.P. my doghter, my little girl, my best friend and little monkey. We had 15 amazing years together and I know you loved me as much as I love you. We will see each other again Trinket 🐶 💙💙
This feels so sad... I also have a “her” dog... I play with her spend time with her... But when sometimes I watch her playing .. I become sad that all this has to end someday... How can anyone be happy on knowing that all this happiness and joy is temporary..and everything has an end... Truth is painful.... My God how have you started believing that someone you loved and played with for 15 years is no more... How painful is it... I can't write anymore🥺
@@devavratabhisma1170 i have the same but it was a cat
Thank you for sharing. I know exactly how that feels.
@@devavratabhisma1170 its the worst part of having a companion. But the love they give, out weighs the pain it brings. Remember that.
R.I.P
imagine just waking up and be like "Oh yes, I'm gonna make 11 million people cry!"
We already cry about death. Adding a little beauty to the terror may not be so bad.
Yup
Death is sad because we’ve cultured it to be sad. Obviously because loved ones are no longer with us, but we choose to look at our own loss and rather than celebrate the life they’ve lived and moved on from, and rarely look at it as peaceful end to pain. Almost seems self-centred and egocentric, really. I like Neil Gaiman’s Death as portrayed in the Sandman comics; young, pretty, friendly, intelligent, warm, and reassuring rather than a dark and foreboding being. If you’ve never read it, I highly recommend the series.
@@travisjg80 It is indeed self centered. But we literally can't call these people up any more to catch up on things, to shoot the breeze. And the ache in our hearts sometimes never ever subsides until the day finally arrives in which we may join them--usually not soon, usually not today. So what are we to do but be sad? Yes, yes, our roles now as survivors are to go out and to gather more stories with which to bring to the afterlife and to share with our loved ones. But upon forming each story the instinct is to share it--now!--and the one for whom it's designated can no longer respond.
lol, u cried?
The moral is that if we synchronise ourselves with the nature and its laws, we need not worry. Compassion and Love are the powers that can even change the mind of Cruelest one.❤
My friend is passing to the other side today. I've posted this to his wall for his family to see. After watching this sevarel times over the last 5 years, It stiil jerks the tears right out of me. This video helped me to understand that death is not horrible, It is a sought after blessing. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of leaving people behind me. I'm worried they won't be properly cared for by the people of this earth.
Not me. I’m scared of what comes next
Omg me 2 i dont mind death i just dont want my loved ones to cry,and feel pain.
I feel that completely. To my core.
@@nathanholyland9493 me too
Exactly that is what I would fear too
When I first watched this (years ago), I was mad at the deer for hugging him, it was so sad and I kind of thought the deer was just stupid. Now I realize that the deer was old and tired. It could no longer follow it's herd and was ready for death. It knew what would happen if she touched her friend, but it was ready, and embraced it.
I just cried when I first saw it
@@BitterBettyCarole same
She was ready for her death...

I cant explain this to you but I'll try. I love the meaning behind this short film. It's very meaningful and actually was able to find a place in my heart. It made me tear up. You put love, loss, happiness, and trust into 5 minutes. This is truly beautiful and phenomenal. You were able to tell a story of billions of years without saying a word. It is absolutely unbelievable how you did this. I wish you the greatest.

Death is a force you can't make peace with, you can only surrender to it! The truly wise know this, and, in the time before they meet death, live as fully as possible!

@@petergant8767 I’m my opinion you can make peace with death. You just have to accept that one day you will face it,and surrender to it. If you are always afraid of death you won’t be prepared for death. Death co-exists with us as long as we are physically alive. People fear death,not because of what’s going to happen to them,but because of what’s going to happen to the ones that knew them.

Easily one of the best vids I've ever EVER saw on KZhead. After 6 years, this is one of my most favorite videos ever.
I love how you made the Death so nice and gentle, shows how he doesnt mean to do harm to anyone, he just does what hes meant to. Even tho he makes the animals die, he does it as gently as he can. Also you can see how every single time he feels bad for the animals that die, but its just their destiny, its just time for them to go. And he learned about it later thanks to the deer he loved so much. He didnt want to hurt it, but it accepted that its time for it.
Get him some gloves Problem solved

This short film delineated a big lesson without even saying a single word. Whenever we fear death, in any situation or circumstance, we often tend to forget living our life to the fullest. Such a meaningful content ❤

I’m literally sobbing I thought the deer was special and that he wouldn’t get killed but the end just broke me

death is the only thing everybody is equal in.
Death is a gift. Something that humans fail to understand. We are Mortal creatures. We are intended to die. To one who is suffering. To one who is worn out. To one who is tortured....to one that endures the passing of ages.....Death is the greatest gift they can receive. Alas, just as with anything given, when it is Forced on another, that is when it becomes a true tragedy.
Sammme. I feel like crying. I loved the whole thing
It was getting old and the only thing it wanted was to rest :’(
How is it that I never cry during movies, yet this five minute animation can make me do just that?
well, you're one up on me, because i cry at movies, too! but holy cow...this one really got me! just as Indiana Jones said "Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes?" i thought "A deer...why'd it have to be a deer?" No one wants to see a deer die, not even when it's time!
@@inkadinkadoodle yeah, i live on a forest property not too far off a medium-used road, we had a mother and baby fawn that lived on our property for a long time we loved to see them. but one day, we were driving out of our driveway and the little fawn had been hit while trying to cross the road...i cried in the car all the way to wherever we were going
sometimes it's because movies try to hard to be sad
Because movies these days are assembly built, piece by piece by cold heartless robots who design it to be as bland, safe, generic and as inoffensive as possible so there's no heart or soul to it. Oh I'm sorry my bad, those aren't heartless robots they're studio execs. Much worse.
@@Demogorgon47 totally agree
How beautiful! So glad to get to see this very creative and inspired work. It really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing this! 🙂🩵
one of the most beautiful videos i've ever seen. thank you so much!
Imagine being death and you just want to make friends and learn how to love *DEPRESSION*
He is really afraid of making someone his friend because when someone becomes his friend, he/she will definitely come close to him and when he/she comes closer to him then.....................
but it feels good to realise at the end that you're not death and that you can make freinds, love, touch and hug all things♡
@NoMoreMr NiceGuy I think you're exactly my type jajaja.. just kidding I mean just don't be an ass and be nice buddy, hope u find ur best person ever❤
Ok
I sometimes wonder if death ever regrets being death himself like if death is conscious does he ever regret taking all of those lives? Does he ever just want to give up or does death even have feelings to begin with Some questions i suppose that are not possible to have an answer to
This is the most profound depiction of Death I have ever seen. Death is not evil. Death just is. I have walked with Death almost my entire life, and seeing "him" in this fashion struck a chord with me. To see Death appreciate life, and seeing lives acknowledge Death is somewhat freeing. Death is a release from Earthly bonds. Thank you so much for making this. It shows that Death has a heart, too.
Your comment filled me with curiosity. How is it that you have "walked with death" all your life? Are you a coroner or doctor?
@@nerdstalgia we all are walking with death. Death is always with us.we don't know when and how we will die.you can die anytime
@Nerdstalgia Either they had near death experiences many times
Les gens ne veulent que du cour à lire
@@nerdstalgia maybe he got a tumor or a disease that can kill him at any moment? Or hes doing a metaphor like how the deer in the video "walked with death"?
no matter how much i watch it it always brings tears to my eye this story says a lot more than a lifetime of words
Every so often I come back and watch this. It gets me right there.
I just noticed the deer that liked death must have been old and accepting of her death, unlike the others still running from it
If you watch closely when the other deer hop away, this one’s hind legs tremble. She was living with death for a year and accepted him....
M Just curious wanted to know who is this youtuber is he doing well?? He has only uploaded this one video it strange!
