It was ok. I was expecting more seizurific beat sync though. It's a song of this genre afterall..

The clip selection was cool. Nice selection and presentation of particular scenes 8-) It had the chronology and emotion needed~

Not much more to say. Too short for my liking?

3/5 :up:

Usually all of your videos are about rape but this one is actually far deeper than that and has many different commentaries going on about relationships. Although you do include the rape which is pretty much your calling card by now. The use of dance as a metaphor for sex and masturbation is brilliant if I might say so.

Right off the bat there's a naked woman who is surrounded by red energy. It drives her in an egg then she burst out. Clearly the red energy is symbolic for male domination, the egg is the cage of abuse and lies men trap women with, and at the end she burst free of her male abuse and becomes a virginal pure heroine in white. I think what most impresses me is how you can load so much symbolism in the first 5 seconds of the video.

Then in her flowering joy of freedom she finds and chases another man. You'd think she would have learned her lesson but sadly many women never do. However another woman has already claimed this man and clearly the other woman wins his affection (well what do you expect, the dancer in black has bigger tits. Of course she's going to get the guy. Plus she is dressed in black, clearly an allusion to how her sexuality has corrupted her and thus she is very wise in the ways of pleasing a man).

Next is where I start getting uncomfortable with the video. Wanting to gloat over her defeated rival the woman in black engages the man right there in the open. They 'dance' as he thrusts his huge hard sword at her. Not content with this he follows up by trying to force his sword upon our fair virginal maiden. Your use of this scene is clearly artistic to convey a point but I fear your depiction of a violent rape upon an innocent maiden may have gone to far considering that children might see this.

Ok, so we go back to the virginal purity being entwined by the masculine male energy. I fear her story is not going to end up happy at all. She clearly is drawn like a moth to men who will beat and dominate her.

Following this we are treated to a montage of pure sexuality. Our heroine 'dances' alone, she 'dances' with the man, the woman in black 'dances' with her (although the slut is clearly the dominate member of that pairing), the woman in black 'dances' with the guy, the guy 'dances' alone, the a finale of the man dancing with his hard long sword quickly thrusting and penetrating dozens of women, each of whom burst apart in orgasmic joy once the sword touches them. Sex sells but you've gone to far. There's more fucking in this 2 minute video than an entire season of Friends.

Then for our finale we have another lesbian sex scene between the pure one and the whore. Unfortunately this scene goes too fast to build any suspense. Will the virgin purify the whore and they go off to live in a lesbian hippie commune somewhere? Will the whore corrupt the virgin and they turn into a dark S&M lesbo duo? Will either of them realize the man is a useless twit that will thrust his sword at anything that moves? Before I can even formulate these questions you've already ended the scene. Bad form my man, very bad form.

And what is this great conclusion you've crafted? Our virginal one tosses aside bisexuality and devotes herself to the man. Then the picture goes B&W and fades away, introducing for the first time shades of grey and black intruding upon our fair innocents pure white. Clearly she is letting the man dominate and corrupt her, as so sadly many women do. I just knew this wasn't going to be a happy ending.



Ya know, I probably spent more time typing this up than you did editing it. I need to get out of my house more often.

Well done AMV. It's structured, original and had very clean simple editing overall. Good job.

I find godix's comments to be well thought out and insightful, if a bit skewed. I disagree with his analysis, because he is clearly missing the element of joy that the pure virginal girl is gaining in exploring her sexuality. Certainly there are elements of strife, but in the end she has become a deeper and more mature woman. Like a typical male, though, godix assumes that women are unable to truly enjoy sex with men and are simply used and abused by them. I also am offended by his puritanical assumption that if women do enjoy sex they are corrupted by it.



Good job TJ, I thought you resolved the ending nicely.:up:
