...this just gave me goosebumps. Loved 0:40-0:55 and 2:00-2:25 especially (2:20 was just heartbreaking), and I thought the song fit the mood of the movie perfectly. So good!

What a great song choice for this movie! The juxtaposition of clips of these guys leading their normal lives with constant reminders of surveillance were chilling, to say the least.

(and the final credits are perfect)

I didn't actually think one could make a vid for this movie. And yet you have done it, and a very, very good one at that.

This is really great!

Oh, wow. This is thoughtful and lovely and so absorbing that I'm finding it difficult to comment on any particular aspect. I am going to have to rewatch the movie - and your vid - so much to think about, and to feel.

Oh wow, this is gorgeous and chilling and perfect. I love the way the song works with the source.

This is absolutely brilliant! And heartbreaking and lovely--the juxtapositions and the whole part from 0:39-0:57, and the bit with the typewriter--I love how you've focused on the visual representation of record-keeping, the notes and the words and the tapes and the manuscripts, looking up things on cards and in libraries. Lovely.

Beautiful! I didn't recognize the movie from the title, but I did from your vid.

I don't know this movie, but you tell a compelling story here. Well done.
