hey friend... i really would like to hear what you have to say but i find it a bit difficult to hear you over the music... i love that song, but is it possible to upload this video again w/o the music?? pls let me know :)

[TwistedlyBriliant]

@mainjurii Yes i was rather lazy when it came to editing. I figured i would just play it during the video, instead of adding it in with editing! Unfortunately what i meant to say has been taken wrong according to the majority of comments, and it is my own fault for not being very clear, so you are not missing out if you find it difficult to hear what i am saying. I can not remove the music unfortunately, but as i said you are not missing much, although i appreciate your interest in what i said!

don't listen to the haters dude. just do your thing. anyways, i really liked this vid. i can argue with some of the points you made. but regardless. subscribed. =]

[TwistedlyBriliant]

@MikeTheMovieDude Oh yeah i could argue most the points i made my self for sure! unfortunately this video was not planed out at all and very sloppily done, so the idea i was trying to get across as well as points i made, all sort of got tangled up. Love the name by the way! I am a fan of cinema as well :)

We all have to find our own "Alaska", whatever that is. Real freedom comes from within, it cannot be given to you by somebody else.

I'm from Fairfax, Virginia near Oakton where you live and there's nothing wrong with it. In my experience, it's the person not the place that's the problem. Besides, you look like you barely get outside so maybe it's your home not the DC area. The movie is about his family being abusive not the area. Also, have you lived anywhere else to compare Va. to? I'm orginally from San Diego, Ca. I take Va for what it has to OFFER rather than what it doesn't. Stop watchin movies rich kid & go play.

I don't care if I die young or old. Tomoro or in a hundred years. I couldn't care less to be honest. I only want to die doing something I love. Painful or not, I don't care. I say risk your life to do something I've never done as long as u feel like you want to do it. I'm not saying don't leave and do what he did. In fact I encourage it. Just not now. Later. (but not too much later)

I'm about the same age as u kid. I know wat u mean about boring towns. I want to leave too. But I'm going to wait. And you should too. Don't leave wen ur 16. Wait until you move out of home. I cannot imagine the feeling of a parent waking up to their kids bed with a not and no child. Then realizing that he's not coming back. Just listen to me about this and wait unroll your at least out of the house. I will

mate, your very young! one day you will be in a position to make your own choices and live a life that suits you. There really is no need to rush it. You will also be grateful of the privilidged upbringing you have to make the person you are and will be. i admire christopher alot, he had big dreams, and he was an extremist. But his actions lead to his very young slow death by starvation!

im just saying try not to make hasty decisions... and make the best with what you have!

dangerous society!!!!!!!!

[mainjurii]

well i did listen to the first part, and i appreciate that you can relate to chris and how youre saying that its stifling to live where you do. i can imagine that the suburbs of DC would be pretty bad... i mean, DC is the heart of the political corruption of this country, right? like you, i also relate to chris, and respect him so much for what he did... and sadly alot of people just dont understand him at all, and resort to criticism. so thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Mccandless did everything I`d like to do in my entire life ... I like him as much as I hate the fucking society I live in !!
