(Update!!!) Click "watch in high quality" and the video will actually play.

The song is East Hastings from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and obviously set to footage from Apocalypse Now! (Perhaps one of the greatest films ever, in my opinion anyway) Since the first half of the song is mostly very quiet and ambient like I use dialogue from the film over the music.

  • @TheOneTrueAnthemis Matt you're such a troll

  • Best video on youtube. Please go in the film buisness. Hollywood needs you.

  • @ZzZtrader That is the plan. I'm a film student in college currently.

  • @ZzZtrader Well thanks for the kind words good sir. I'm living in Texas and I have no idea when I'll move to L.A., or if I'll just move to Austin.

  • i had always heard that song called 'sad mafioso'?????? am i mistaken? i thought 'east hastings' was a different song.

  • Yes, this is the Sad Mafioso, but that is just one of the movements of the song East Hastings, so I just said East Hastings so more people would recognize it. The actual East Hastings song is actually seven minutes longer.

  • Excellent tribute to the best film ever made

  • Orgasm

  • One of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time.

  • You win the prize, good sir. You win.

  • You clearly understand the underlying themes of the film and have beautifully orchestrated the video to an awesomely appropriate song on a nearly one-to-one correlation. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to comment on a You Tube video. This is art. This is good. This is worthy of praise.

  • Very well cut. Captures the spirit of the movie and the song, both, brillantly.

  • Kudos. Well done.

  • Fantastic job, truly fantastic.
