Love this - excellent song for the film, and I love how haunting you've made it, and then the violence it explodes into at those points in the song. Wonderful!

[talumin]

Thank you!

That whole period of the 90s had some great songs to choose from.

Oh wow, I love how you used the tempo changes in the song to contrast the slower, more contemplative parts of the love story with the gritty violence.

[talumin]

Thank you!

Oh this song, I love this song and how brutal it can sound. I held my breath during the pause early on, I couldn't help it, I wasn't sure what was coming but I could tell it wouldn't end well and would definitely hurt. Very well done.

[talumin]

Thank you! That was the reaction I was hoping for!

This is really great - I love how well you've used the tempo changes in the song.

[talumin]

Thank you!

This is great, I love all the images of water at the beginning contrasted with the fire later on. And I love how you used the tempo changes in the song to build tension and then explode with the violence of the feud, and show how it all spirals out of control.

[talumin]

Thanks!

The song really just seemed to suit what was already happening in the film.

Wonderful work with the contrasting water and fire images. Very intense! I do love this film, love Baz. ♥

[talumin]

Thank you!

I can't take too much credit for the contrast - I think that's something Luhrmann intended.

Crap! It's my teenage years coming back like an acid trip!

[talumin]

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for.

Bush is definitely in my top 10 favorite bands and you couldn't have picked a better Bush song for this vid! just awesome, so awesome.

[talumin]

Thanks!

I was really tempted to use Glycerine or Swallowed but I found Bomb and it was exactly what I needed.
