I love this AMV, It is truly fantastic and well put together! :) I also respect the dedication to Benazir Bhutto, despite the fact that this AMV is not related to her. Very well done! This is the absolutely BEST Ghost in the Shell AMV I have ever seen.
Definitely above-average AMV, but many of the clips were mediocre and didn't quite match the intensity of the music. It was all well-synchronized though.
The quote at the beginning was magnificent. The memory of Bhutto at the end was decent, although IMO it was only put there as a "wow" effect since it was a recent event.
Bhutto's death actually held a great deal of personal significance to me...I heard about it on NPR on my drive to work the day it happened. Her presence in the middle east was a sign of hope for the oppressed women of those countries, and when she was assassinated it was like a step back for any chance of equality for them. Most people don't even know who Bhutto was when they watch this AMV, and my hope was that some people might look her up and remember what she tried to do in her life.
@samuraizylle That's a fair explanation. Sorry for jumping the gun.
Being from the middle east myself, I can't help but point out a sad reality here: Women there are oppressed and denied education, whereas in Japan, the heroine of one of their most popular shows is a woman (Major) who surpasses men around her in physical and intellectual skill. What an embarrassment. What's worse is that many of those women have no idea that there's another end to the gender equality spectrum...
@samuraizylle ...regarding Bhutto: "If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. " - Hemingway
@samuraizylle great video for an amateur, but... don't you realise who was Benazir Bhutto? I mean...It is said that she supported and sponsored an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Pundits... some kind of Kashmiri Hindus.
...I really don't know...that's what they say in wikipedia...
The major does indeed remind me of madam.Bhutto,she was indeed brave and strong and for that a coward had her done in....all inteligent people know who he is as he is so busy being important and academic around the world.As for wikipedia,haha its not worth the cyberspace it occupies.i will always remember the haunting image of bhutto when she waved to the people one last time.....she was so happy and so full of determination.A fragile and yet titanic person.
thankyou samuraizylle for your tribute to her from my people...........she meant so much more then just a womens rights activist to my country.may her memory live on in the majors strength.
You know, it's just wonderful that you made this for our troops overseas and in memory of Benazir Bhutto. This is really incredible; beautiful. Yes, you hit the emotional mark this time because I really nearly cried. You're amazing. <3
Amazing video, completely worthy of this beautiful song. The clips are perfectly matched to both the lyrics and the more sublte emotional cues of the song. Excellent job! It just gives me chills.
If I could give you more than 10/10, I honestly would.
i cant stop watching it over and over and over!!!!! Its the best AMV's ever! i like how u put the video how it decribes the song, even when its russian:D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur really talented, wat program did u use?
Okey when I watch amvs with this song, they are sometimes bad, okey I mean really bad, but in this case it was perfect in nearly every way, 9999999999999/10
I am stupid!^_^ You had the word in the description!!! Very nice vid and know everyone will know that you did an amazing job matching the meaning of the words to clips!!!!
OMG THIS VID IS PERFECT!! I Loved the way you fit all the verses to corresponding clips that match what the song is singing(even though people who don't know the words will never know)
Loved the Major's reveal at 0:56 and the next scene that fits the words "No matter how tangled the web is woven, the truth will always reveal the outline of light"(rough translation from memory) The end ,where the Tachikomas are singing as they "make the sacrifice", almost made me cry.
awsome just plain..awsome i am spechless it really brings the meaning of war, p.s. (do not read if u havnt seen the seasons!!!) if many of u are wonderin the deal when the major gets hacked and she talks to the old lady about the little girl and the boy who can make the paper birds with one hand, the girl is the major and the boy is the rebal leader who dies in the ending!! :o
great video, not familiar with the anime, but it is officially on the list. And even without seeing it, this is a wonderful tribute ^.^
Ok, now too a question...
I've seen a few of your videos mention Ultimate Chakra's AMV contest, and I was wondering where I could find it and how I might particiapte. i would fail every time hehe, but it sounds like fun.
Beauitful work! I loved it! I also really love that you dedicated it to the support of our troops. Awesome job, you always make the best Ghost in Shell films.
Y_Y so pretty, wonderful tribute! I love this video, like you wouldn't believe.
I'm the same way you are, I don't like using songs from the same anime/game since it's un-original but this was awesome :P I have this song on my computer, I should make an AC vid to it ^_^ 5/5 very awesome!
I like how the fact you put in parts where it looks close to some of America's tragedies, not sure if you were going that route but... this is EPIC. Deep and one hell of a good tribute to our Troops! Bless them all.
This video comes nothing short of awesome! Every part of it is just as great as the next. It's hard to pick a favorite part here, but I'll say mines at about 2:44. I just naturally like it when people use parts of openings in videos. Anyway, spectacular video! I hope to see another year of videos like this :).
