  • Comments: to redeem- transitive verb - to free from what distresses or harms; to extricate from or help to overcome something detrimental; to change for the better.

    Claymores are a society of women who hunt down monsters, and are named after the huge swords they use. In order to sense and defeat the monsters, who can disguise themselves as humans, Claymores have to become part monster themselves, and run the risk of becoming completely monsters if they go too "crazy" or berserk, i.e. use too much of their monstrous abilities.
    Claire has learned never to show emotion, since emotion can betray weaknesses or pain in battle. However, the emotions are there if you look for them. She is a young woman with a tragic past, a lonely and dangerous present, and little if any hope for the future- until she saves the life of a boy, much as she had been saved as a small child. The boy, on the cusp of manhood, becomes her companion, and slowly Claire starts to comprehend something new- a future of something more than just endless battles, a future containing something normally forbidden to Claymores: love.
    After a fight in which Claire passes the point of no return, she discovers a remarkable fact; that the power of love can bring one back from beyond the brink- that it can redeem her both in body and in soul.

    In some ways, this is the darkest and certainly most graphic vid that I've made so far. However, I'd like to think that its main theme is about hope for the future and the power of love. The romance scenes may be a little unsettling for some, given the age of the boy, but I felt they were necessary to stay true to the lyrics of the song and the theme on the vid. Forum thread.
