Hate, hate and more hate… Paths of Hate is a brutal depiction of how history repeats the same spiral of violence over and over again. The short film makes you feel the accumulated weight of that hatred, how every act of destruction literally leaves a mark on the world. The artistic style, dynamic composition, and the visual concept of the trails are simply brilliant. The ending caught me off guard, and that emotional impact made me raise my rating. This is not the story of these characters, is the story of all world's conflicts. Great musical choice to close it out.
