Here's my idea: Proog is trying to show Emo that he was destined to live in a world of order that does the same thing all the time. Emo, not seeing this, becomes angry at this because he sees nothing and doesn't understand how it works causing the world to go into a short moment of disorder. Proog stops him and brings it back to order.
I know my idea is crap but that's what I think.

this movie was mainly made to experiment on open source graphics and how to push its capabilities. story was a minor matter.
it's called elephants dream because the story ends abruptly, just in dutch children stories. the producers were dutch as well. just do some wikipedia and research and you get more explanations than just hypothetical comments here.

Can somebody tell me what programmes they are using?

the graphics are nice, but there really is no story line or anything else to it.

I get tired of people avoiding revealing the meaning of something just to make it seem more deep. What I really think this is about is "pushing ideas"as has been more or less admitted, but I think specifically religious ideas especially. Emo asking Proog how he expects him to live his life based on something that isn't there is a dead giveaway. I suppose, given the controversial topic, I can forgive the creators for not outright explaining it for what it is.

Theory: I think Proog is Windows and Emo is Linux, both traversing the internet together. Proog has spent lots of time learning how not to click the wrong link that will get him infected, while Emo has gotten used to surfing care-free, because the dangers aren't targeting him. Why should he be as cautious as a Windows user must be? He has no security problems and no secrets hidden from him. Proog, on the other hand, has to dodge danger constantly, treading carefully and precisely at all times.

The title comes from an expression elephant in the room meaning an obvious truth being ignored.
I don't really get the storyline, maybe it's about someone pushing their ideas on another person or somethin

I think the movie is about people trying to push their ideas onto others. proog (the old man) sees something that emo obviously can't see and he is trying to force emo to see it.

It's one of those short films that is open to interpretation. You kinda have to decide what it means to you. |
