Lyrics
Words that form a sentence
Words that form a phrase
In a poem or a letter
Could not convey the meaning
Of what this man has done
In a painting
On canvas
As the colors fading
They dictate my mood
Can you see me
Are you near me
I find myself on canvas
I find myself on stage
Can you see me
Are you near me
And I long to know you're real
And I long for you to be part of me
I long to know you're real
And I long for you to be a part of me
In the fading twilight
I sit and stare at her
In all her beauty
Her beauty
You know I have to wonder
Why all great men must die
And leave their treasure
They leave their treasure

Great job! I loved the clips that were used and how it all kept the magic of this movie intriguing without spoiling the plot.

[deelaundry]

I think a few plot spoilers snuck in but I definitely wanted to keep the "whodunit" a mystery. Thank you!

[raine]

I didn't think there were too many spoilers - no more than I'd see on a trailer anyway. :-) Love it, and you're welcome!

[aris_tgd]

I thought this was lovely! Such gorgeous visuals and music matching, and it really takes you on a ride. Nice work!

[deelaundry]

Thanks! The visual aspects of the movie are really enchanting -- no pun intended. :)

[cupidsbow]

Love the way you've used the card motif in this.

[deelaundry]

Thank you! Cards and keys (and a brief literal smoke and mirrors reference).

[purplefringe]

Ooooh this is shiny and magical! It makes great use of the source motion.

[deelaundry]

Thank you! I love the way the movie is shot.

[franzeska]

I like the feeling of this.

[deelaundry]

Thanks!

[echan]

AMAZING! I am amazed, literally, that clip at ~3:34 of the person going "holy crap that was amazing" is totally me right now. All the magic and wonder and excitement, awesome.

[deelaundry]

\o/ Wonderful!! That is exactly how I felt at the best parts of the movie, and wanted to convey to others. Thank you!

[laurashapiro]

I don't know the source at all, but this is so beguiling. I want to learn more! I particularly love the use of light and external motion. Beautiful.

[deelaundry]

Thank you! As I was vidding, I thought of how many out-of-nowhere lens flares there were in the Star Trek reboots... and how in this movie, the light effects are there for an actual reason. :)

Definitely recommend the movie to you if you're in the mood for something caper-y but with a little bit of musing fodder.

[laurashapiro]

The movie has gone on my watchlist, thanks to your vid! I watched it again yesterday and was intrigued all over again.

[shallowness]

Loved the sense of movement and how you answered the question of the summary, which was the best of the movie, really.

[deelaundry]

The answer to why -- and the slow exploration / reveal -- was definitely my favorite aspect of the movie. Thank you.

[mithborien]

Awesome editing!

[deelaundry]

Thank you! I really enjoyed making this.
