Oh WOW!!!!!! I have so much love for this! I don't know where to start. And wow, that is THREE vids on my list of 'must write an essay of feedback to these' now! I am so sorry I got flooded by Fail (personal and communal *G*) and didn't get here for so long...

I will be reccing this and probably writing spammy thoughts about it for a long long time to come...

oh my! I have a very personal relationship with this movie, I wasn't kidding about it being my favourite. It pushes a lot of my personal buttons (in a good-bad way). So watching your vid was enlightening in a way of finding out how someone else sees it the same but different. I particularly liked the way you started making the hospital footage flicker and become like the black and white silent movie footage, blurring creation with reality. It's beautifully constructed. And wow that 'keep living' refrain is so poignant. At the same time as the lyric 'I believe in people dying' works in opposition-connection to it. I'm not expressing this properly yet... I need to flail a bit more first.

Eeeeeee! THE FALL VID! \o/

Wow, thank you. I had to leave a lot of the vid, like the real world counterparts, nearly all the nurse, etc. But that's making a vid, not using the whole movie, even though I wanted to.

I know about fail, so think nothing of it.

The lyrical connections might be somewhat lost without knowing the movie, but the song felt so perfect.

It's so cool to see that it converted people to the movie! I pimped the movie hardcore to my f'list once but I think it only got one taker. ;) I'm toying with making a vid of it myself though but it is haaaaaaard especially as I have all those anxieties about 'doing it justice' and yes, I hit the 'what do you leave out?' things too.

I'd love to do a commentary on this vid some time if that was ok, either in vid_commentary, on my journal, or just for you. :) I've got to do a lot more watching of it first though, the more I watch the more I get out of the lyrical connections. Also: Tricky yay!

I'm glad people are watching the movie after seeing the vid. It's so freaking beautiful. You should make one as well. It's great source to use. I left out so many things that I could make at least 2 other vids for it.

Tricky's music is so layered. I could listen to some of it on repeat endlessly.

Commentary? That's so cool!
