oh wow, I never dreamed that anyone would make me an OT3 Station Agent vid but here it is and I LOVE IT! <3 <3 <3 Thank you, festividder, I'm so happy about this. You do such a great job of portraying all the characters (including the little girl, who you weave in really nicely) - you show everything that's difficult about all three of them, everything that makes it hard for them to love one another, but then they do anyway. I particularly love how you handled the bridge, with Finbar staring at the oncoming train while lying on the tracks - I love how you just held that moment, the same way the film does. This gave me so many feelings! Thank you again for making it, I just couldn't be happier about it.

Two years ago, I found the perfect fic for this film (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2011/works/300018) and now here's the perfect vid to go along with it. I love this film so very much and you manage to capture so much of what makes me love it--the finding of family, the way fragility and damage doesn't have to result in loneliness, the blossoming of Fin--in just a few minutes. I'm just going to go ahead and pretend this was for me. <3

Love it, for exactly the reasons Thingswithwings and Catwalksalone said. Thank you for this vid.

Oh, wow, this is wonderful. It captures so much of what I loved about this movie. I love your use of landscape and train and tracks, too -- gives the vid a sense of beautiful forward motion.

(Also, God, I adore Peter Dinklage. :-)

I don't know if this is a threesome in the source, but I like it a lot in your vid!

This is great! You really did justice to the original film. This makes me want to rewatch the movie ASAP. I got all the ~feels~ about the characters and their wonderful relationships and the little family they make together. :D

This really is the perfect Station Agent vid. I don't know exactly how you found the perfect song and the perfect sequence of images to pull out the heart of such a beautifully awkward film, but you did and I salute you.

So so so good. The driving intensity of the song and the recurring trains, and the way everyone's waiting and wanting and not sure how to get what they want... just. Yes.

OH. OH WOW. This was a perfect vid for this film, so amazing how well you captured all the parts of it, awkward then close then painful but always together in the end.
