What is your interpretation?

I found this video on YouTube recently.

Please discuss. It seems a smart commentary on religion, and perhaps just fear in general.

Creative animation. I'd stay away from those "FJ" types especially if you have a different J.

I see the terrifying effect of social narratives and belief systems that specific individuals or events can control through tradition and emotional 'links': the preacher can sway their emotions and convince them of irrational ideas with disturbing ease, and everyone fears the utterly harmless undertaker by committing the logical fallacy, "cum hoc, ergo propter hoc".

I agree. How do you see the man with the guitar, and one leg?

His death fascinates me. He taunts the preacher, and his flock, with the announcement that undertaker is coming. Then, when panic has reached its height, he dies in as much fear as anyone else, running away from the mob that seeks his death. It is his fear that bothers me. Either he should recognize that taunting will likely mean his death, and accept that; Or he should go on about his bussiness and not announce the coming of the undertaker, and simply remain quiet. As it was, his death was shameful, he seems to betray that which he had stood for by running after taunting. Running would have only been acceptable if he had stayed quiet. As it is ,he appears to be hypocritical.

Excessively gory, as befitting its 'Old Testament' theme...

but a rather familiar theme at that.

Reminds me a bit of 'Trigun', sans humor and red blood.

I think that you're expecting too much of the poor guy: he won't be able to taunt the church if he's dead.
