Aw, super!
Вы меня добить решили? Сначала про Кару, теперь про Ли?
Классный клип, не была уверена на счет песни (не фонад), но к концу прониклась :)
Очень понравился момент на слова про его одиночество, просто чувствовалось это в видеоряде.
И финал тронул. Он опять будет здесь и она будет здесь и пошел Мур в то самое место.

Да не сговариваясь, видимо, решили). Я сама не фонат, но некоторые песни нравятся, и это одна из них... всегда мне очень напоминала о Ли.

Да... "кто бы ни был со мной - я все равно изначально один" - вызывает во мне какую-то радость с грустью смешанную... вселенскую, в нем это по жизни сквозит, и это то, с чем я отождествляюсь сильно.

Спасибо за комментарии!)) Я не уверена была, ляжет ли такой в целом шальной и оптимистичный трэк на БСГ, но получается, что через юмор Ли, это вышло даже удачно местами).

Так и я к тому. Даже странно сначала было, что юмор сквозить через весь клип, хотя слова местами весьма и весьма не юморные. Но видеоряд так сделан, что финал все равно оптимистичен (по крайней мере я так увидела). Я опасалась, что будет наоборот, сначала наулыбаюсь, а потом будет грустно, но вышло иначе, сначала опасалась, а потом улыбнулась в конце :)
Короче, о чем я, не важно, что там кое-кто имел в виду, для меня Ди не одинок только тогда, когда он с Карой, вернее не всегда, но бывают моменты... и я верю, что в конце они totally complete each other. Это мой канон. И точка :)

Ну знаешь, юмор - это не главное во что я тут целилась, хотя как аспект его характера он весьма привлекателен для меня потому что чувство иронии "мое" у него, сарказм и как присущее многим солдатам в военное время - склонность применять юмор, когда ситуация по сути нестерпима... хуже не бывает, живой ад. Но под слоем юмора там соответственно кроются весьма серьезные вещи... как то насколько он не в силах не бросать близким людям вызов, не идти против их эгоистических взглядов, даже когда им это больно.... Как это одиночество, изгойство какое-то и в то же время стремление стоять за команду свою, того же Тирола и Хило, хотя в каких-то вопросах они Ли абсолютно не близки.
Насчет Ли и Кары... да, дополняют... я вообще через ее выражение лица тут в финале пыталась показать это зеркало... Ли, который на мгновение видит ее без "помех" и слышит - и через нее себя настоящего, целостного. Вообще строки "Бог не ангел" - для меня были большущей отдушиной... во всех смыслах.

You've already had to put up with me commenting by Skype, but I thought I should post a reminder here that I think this is great - and could've been made for me!

Although don't be surprised if I find more things about it I want to tell you I like tomorrow, when I get back from work.

Ok, ok, so I can't resist leaving timestampy feedback. You'll just have to put up with me. :p

The intro is VERY intriguing to me! At first it felt like such an unusual mix of images but at the same time I could feel this kind of wry humour matching the tone of the music. In particular:
0.05 I love this fake smile that Lee makes.
I also love the counterpoint of very serious content from the Pegasus arc with the cheery music. And most of all this little punctuation of Lee stopping the hole in his flight suit. ;) It still all is mainly working for me on a subliminal level rather than intellectually, but I really enjoy it! And having seen the vid as a whole now more and more, I find i come back to the intro with greater enjoyment each time.

0.22 'alien sidewalks'
Love the mix of images for this line--including Kara literally inside a Cylon! The wrecked landscapes are so powerful in setting up the context ( ... )

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! It's the best kind of praise one can get... ((()))

this little punctuation of Lee stopping the hole in his flight suit. ;)The point of that whole intro to me was to highlight the craziness of contrast between the seriousness of circumstances and Lee's and other soldiers' sense of humor as a dealing mechanism at the time of war... and also the fact that despite of the tight bundle of a sense of fear, self-identity loss and complete helplessness along with guilt and shame when all hell breaks loose does not stop Lee from actually putting his finger on that hole in his flight suit and actually trying to cover it with both hands - in his first reaction, the truest one... that shows how much that taste for life actually wins... or at least how strong it is until apathy and head crap take over and convince him that it's all useless and he's nobody and there's no purpose to life etc ( ... )

Yes, it TOTALLY makes sense! And I definitely get that feeling of 'soldier's humour' in this sequence. Especially in that funny smile Lee gives! :)

in his first reaction, the truest one... that shows how much that taste for life actually wins..I love love love this description and exploration of it... and it's so interesting to reflect how hung up Lee gets afterwards about the OTHER impulse, the one that comes later. He feels shocked by it and ashamed of it. I remember so vividly fandom's reaction to that arc and how confused by it many people were, how critical of Lee.. i very much wish people could read this and reflect on what you say--that actually in both Kara and Lee there is a very strong impulse to LIVE but they are both at times victims of their own fear and pain ( ... )

Oh I thought it was so cool to use because I really wanted to show this confusing situation where Zak as a family stops being family for a moment and becomes a rival - "an alien" on some level... and how it doesn't compute in Lee's head... like Kara being literally inside a Cylon fighter when she gets back Home to Caprica... Caprica that only looks like Home but doesn't feel like Home anymore since the Cylons managed to destroy that world and make it impossible to live there. In that sense Kara is also kind of like an enemy to Lee when he first meets her... robbing him of something very natural and sacred - that bond with his brother.

but here I just love how you have made the row of soldiers reflect the bars of the prison... and then link the two cell scenes

Oh I'm so glad you like this one! :)

This line of 'How rarely one meets one's own kind' is so amazing for them and captures perfectly that sense of knowing and recognising each other that they ( ... )
