Depressing DPS vid, focusing on the unhappiness and futility surrounding the boys' lives, with specific focus on Neil's suicide. The song used is "Mad World," originally by Tears for Fears but covered by Gary Jules. It's overused but I wanted to use it anyway.

Check out the movie on IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0097165/

  • I did Yuletide for the first time this year and I watched your video again for inspiration while I was writing, and strangely found it way more compelling than the source material itself. Excellent, excellent vid.

  • Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful for writing. So you wrote a DPS Yuletide fic? I'd love to read it.

  • this is good

    

  • Great vid. Thanx for doing this 1. It made the mirror in which I look into to see who I am as a writer. If your memory reflects 'mad world', it can be an easy step, for your heart.

  • ...Hey Wilson when you wake up can you write me a prescription? :D

  • This video is amazing. Truly. It brought out every feeling I had when I watched this movie. You have talent. Just a side note, I don't usually ever like Robin Williams but this movie almost proved me wrong. He does have a great talent

  • Neil Perry...

  • Very well done...

  • I saw this video back in '08. this video fits so perfectly with the theme of this film. I just recently viewed this movie for the first time in 4 years, and I was totally waiting for Gary Jules' Mad World. Amazing, the power of youtube.
