Re: Vequiem for a Dream
Boh, I have loved your vid since I first saw it, but I finally saw the film the music came from. I love your video even more... that movie, Requiem for a Dream, is a quite brilliant edgy and disturbing film, and the sound track from Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet really heighten the experience, amazingly harmonizing with the unusual cinema styles.
But the story, as tragic as it is, has none of the world changing stakes of the V story, and I am so glad I expereinced the music as being about V's quest, the grandeur and the tradgedy of it, before I saw Aronofsky's film.

Re: Vequiem for a Dream
The movie is indeed strong, as to say, saw it some
months ago already by chance (was in IMDB top 250)
The truth is Ven, you´re very rigth when you say glad
I saw V first, because to be honest, it gave it some
magic.
Still have it arround I guess but 1 time viewing of that
movie is a deep go in to the hole if not armed with V´s
smile, at least for me.

Yah, it's a pretty sad story, without heroics to redeem it. What makes it a great film is the interesting and unusual techniques -- watching the "Making of..." was facinating - there was stop motion and overhead cranes that followed people and cameras mounted on the actors to film their face in action, and that fabulous music.
Everyone is consumed by their demons, and there is no escape.
I guess I have a Scorpio's fascination with the Dark...

Made me re-realize the power of V's message that has lived in my heart from my first viewing to my 14th...and continues to be with me now. All of you Vixens have a lot to do with keeping that fire alive!
