Protege Moi- Eastern Promises

[Mitarashi]

I guess the french fits thanks to Vincent Cassel =P

But seriously this vid is great, great rhythm and the song sounds as desperate and angry ad Kirill is through the movie! Great job!

There needs to be more Kirill vids, but yours is already so good I'm satisfied anyway!

[Gjkl345]

@SillyStringYoASS Make sense of your comment, wtf? You sound like a movie reviewer with blood full of scotch.

[0bsidianos]

anyone knows what Kirill is wearing on 0:20, its a very nice destinct shirt

[thevirtualnightmare]

great vid <3



[fairiebee]

This made me see an entirely new element of the film that I only sensed superficially when I watched it, the dynamic between Kirill's weakness and Nikolai's strength. There is an amazing depth to both of them, and you captured it so well with the song you chose and the imagery.

[Tsentralnaya]

Very, very good. Probably one of the best edited FMVs I've seen.

[metal858585]

too much hugging and touching..

[NicolaWriter]

LOVE it!

Kirill is obviously in love with Nikolai and the relationship would have been clearly dominant/submissive with Nikolai in charge.

[r4plex]

my favourite movie

nikolai rulez

[adeliago]

Can't stop watching this vid! It's so good and I am so happy they are planning a sequel :)

[Jokaanan]

So... the one slash pairing that is ACTUALLY, LEGITIMATELY CANON (albeit in an unrequited sense).... has one video.

But that's okay, the excellentness of this vid makes up for it. Thanks!

[fakenails]

well...this can definitely...be seen as ...ahem.. but on more logical terms...in any mob orient groups, somehow i get the feeling that they are really close to each other and love each other...up until trust is breached...

[SpiderDym]

@fakenails Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. But remember the subplot that involved Semyon discussing with Nikolai that fact that people were saying Kirill was "a drunk and that he [was] also .... a queer." It seems that Semyon was already privy to this information as seen by his response: My only son. […] You know it never snows in this City. And it’s never hot. London is a city of whores and queers. My son…[…] ...I think London is to blame for what he is...

[fakenails]

@SpiderDym well that is true for this particular circumstance i guess...

[olya02]

Very good video. Very good music.

[miguelin97223]

Oh nooooo!! There he is again! Mr. Monica Bellucci is at it again.

[adeliago]

I love this vid and the movie is my favorite movie of all time, those two actors are so amazing and have such an incredible dynamic, Cassel really should have gotten more credit for is portriat i Kirill, the way he managed to catch all his dimensions was just as amazing as Viggo Mortensen managed to tell Nikolai's story through those black sun glasses

Great work! There really aren't enough EP vids here and especially not as good one as this! 5*

[romaschka02]

that's a 5 star video. honestly

[romaschka02]

OMG. They play the characters so authentic. It really scares me sometimes)) Viggo Mortensen really deserves an oscar for this.

[14274994]

he totally deserves his own video. the part where is nuzzles NIkolai is the cutest thing ever

[gothAlis]

I thought I had been the only one to see this kind of feeling betwen them, but your video proved me wrong! I'm so happy that other people share my love for ths couple <3

(Brian Molko tryng to pronunce French is sooooo cute xD)

And the video itself is perfect. 5 stars and faved! The qualityof images is over average, and the editing is really nice and fitting the spirit of the characters...

[ogs214]

what does kirills tattoo say

[kuromegami]

Oh god, yes! XD I've been looking for something like this since I first saw the movie. Awesome job with this vid.

[xGypsy88x]

I can definately see a bit of a homo erotic relationship between Nikolai and Kirill, especially from Kirill. He gives Nikolai little looks throughout the film, that, to me, hint at him having more than brotherly feelings toward him, that he's afraid to act upon. I see Nikolai as having more sympathtic toward Kirill, but that he would possibly try and use Kirill's feelings toward him for his own gain.

[narniasunflower]

@xGypsy88x nah i think thats just Kirill's want to be loved by anyone.

[creamofxine]

you did such a good job with this! really awesome climax at the end there, with the juxtaposing pier/basement scenes. thanks for sharing it!

[splorenzo]

i love this video! =)

[StilettoSmile26]

Really, really rare to find a video with focus on the Kirill-Nikolai dynamic. You really, really got Kirill down pat, his desperate viciousness, his I-just-want-to-be-loved look, his permanent sense of inadequacy, and his reluctant but complete dependence on Nikolai.

From the very beginning with him trying to patronise Nikolai, to the climax, with the dizzying alternation between the basement and the pier really, really slick editing and ends with a bang. I was hooked from start to finish.

[Orypeci]

I think that's the best comment I've ever received. Thank you!

[StilettoSmile26]

Lol, is it because it never occurred to me that there might be a slashy relationship betweent the two? ;)

But I really love the editing of this vid, especially the quick fades and the contrasts...

[xGypsy88x]

I was so excited to see one of my fave songs put to one of my fave movies. I think you did a great job with it!

[kokoroire]

Vincent Cassel commented that Kirill is being manipulated by the man he is in love with. I'm not so sure about what Nikolai's intentions are. He's very practical and calculating, sure, but he also seems sympathetic and concerned, and he tries to use his power over Kirill in a way that, yes, benefits him but that at the same time doesn't hurt Kirill. I guess he's just fond of Kirill, but wouldn't rule out going farther just to keep gaining power and/or being close to his friend.

[palmtreehomonculus]

I was looking for ideas for an EP amv but I have to say that I doubt I will ever make anything ths cool. I love the relationship between the charas and this song is just perfect. I also really like the fact that you used the french version - dunno, it adds a little something to your vid. The footage is really good and I absolutely love the ending -goes really well with the song! 5*!

[Orypeci]

This is late, but please let me know when you finish it!

[splorenzo]

really a cool one, thanks!

[NinesWife]

WELL DONE! Kirill is definitely in love with Nikolai *___* and this fanvid is so perfect about their relationship. Moooooore! more fanvids kirill/nikolai, please! ;-; yours is the only!

[Orypeci]

Is is really? Good Lord, it's pretty damn obvious (the pairing).

[NicolaWriter]

@Orypeci

I know,right? I'd have rather watched Nikolai and Kirill than Nikolai/Anna

[angeliquefrancaise]

Где можно купить эту песню?

[angeliquefrancaise]

[kekashea]

Great job, I loved it and you're right: Kirill definitely needs his own video! XD

[2n2equals5]
