  • Ooooh. One of my favorite songs of all time set to the movie of one of my favorite books of all time. I like. Hard to beat the Battleship vid though, but this is cool. Gotta run now, must get to the 2 Minute Hate (I think it's called TMZ now)

  • That battleship vid is sweeet.

    I assume you've seen the My Body is a Cage video? That one is amazing.

    lol. TMZ IS the two minutes of hate. That's clever.

  • I think the Ingsoc flags and other very specific 1984 references should have been left out. Personally I think these cuts set to songs work better if the film is used to create a atmosphere *only* and not to tell the story. There were a few scenes there where the audio and video seemed to have little relation to eachother as a result (eg. the tank). The scenes from Room 101 were used well though!

  • Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks for the thoughtful critique.

  • How fabulous! and i'm re-reading this book right now, so this was a nice coincidence! i love this song so much, and it's very fitting for Orwell

  • Belated thanks.

  • The perfect AMV. I've never seen better.

  • Working for the church while your family dies....send chills up my spine.

  • This made me cry, it is so desperate, tragic and beautiful.

  • @theawfultalker just noticed that, thats awesome! Its hard to imagine that they didn't write this with 1984 in mind.

  • The whole album really goes so well with 1984, both tonally and lyrically, it is astonishing.

  • I love you.

  • And when you finally disappear, we'll just say you were never here.....amazing

  • great combo, well done
