American Beauty: "Freedom"

To one of my favorite movies, a gorgeous story about people trying to escape a life of unspoken misery, and finding freedom and joy in those fleeting moments when we let ourselves go.

Music: Alex C - "Agua de Silence" (Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Agua de Beber" vs Delirium & Sarah McLachlan's "Silence")

This is my first fanvid, emphasis being that it's mine. Please don't repost this as your own.

wow that was actually really good. there were some part where you let the scene stay on too long. but overall i can see it was well thought out. my fav part is: 3:19 - 3:21 where you made her sing the song (:

Ha! Somebody caught that lol. I didn't know if anyone would notice, but it made me chuckle so I did it anyway. This was my first fanvid and when I watch it these days, yeah, I see some things I lingered on too long and some different cuts I would've made. One day I'd like to re-cut it but I don't have the patience. Thanks for the comment, though--I loved your AB vid too!

glad you like it (: hey have you done more videos somewhere else ?

[ErsatzWino]

I have not...I have several more ideas for fanvids from other movies and TV shows, but haven't gotten around to any of them because they (especially the TV ones, with SO much footage to go through) are so time consuming. I wanna finally do some more, though...hoping to have a Body Heat video and a Carmela Soprano tribute up by summer's end.

The music is Brazilian Jazz. This is beautiful music.

i love the music

[nephozo]

does this movie not reflect the life, thoughts and ideas of most middle aged men?

lets not forget many a woman out there to

maybe that is the reason for witch this movie is either loved or hated.

ça c'est un film divertissent et qui propose une vision de la vie tres positive, l'anti drame par exellence. Il évoque la simpilcité, le naturel dans nos vie modernes, et le fait qu'a tout moment on peut prendre ou reprendre sa vie, rien n'est jamais finis. C'est un film authentique qui nous fait réfléchir et qui invite a la remise en question, la jeunesse n'est pas le nombre d'année et la maturité se confond parfois avec elle... Un film que je vous conseille vivement. La vie ne doit pas finir.

[emma473]

A GREAT MOVIE...based on the mundane, "sound and fury of life....signifying nothing"...one of my favorite movies of all time.
