A short tale about the demons that slumber deep in the human soul and have the power to push people into the abyss of blind hate, fury and rage. A simple story. dramatic, terrible. and well crafted. sure, more important than the story remains the great visual adventure. so impressive than the story itself seems just a pretext. because all is reduced at dark nuances of hate, a sort of hunting and the essence of war. an interesting film, seductive for its great drawings. This short was simply amazing, in my opinion.<br/><br/>It not only had an incredibly good animation (Which shows once again how CGI could be used in a creative and artistic manner.)but it also had a very strong message about how hatred is able to dehumanize people and lead them to a mutual destruction.<br/><br/>It must be said that this message is delivered without a single bit of sentimentality: In fact, I will dare to say that there is a certain level of aggressiveness in the way in which "Paths of Hate" shows how the hatred could reach totally absurd and inhuman levels, but I have to admit that (For me, at least) this short worked much better than many other war-movies that I've seen in my entire life. <br/><br/>I particularly enjoyed the comic book-esque aesthetic of the designs, giving "Paths of Hate" a very cool and stylish visual quality from beginning to end.<br/><br/>The final result is more than impressive on every single level.<br/><br/>10/10
