This is a great song choice, and the clips are good as far as I can watch! I will say tho that having dialogue playing over the sung lyrics just makes it into a muddled overwhelming mess, and I couldn't finish watching because of it. Suggestion for future: keep the dialog inclusions to the places where there's no lyrics. You don't need as many bits of dialogue as you'd think.
This is so beautifully editied! I can easily follow the story and what character moments you're emphazising without the music or lines. Your hardwork really shines through. I love having this for inspo to make my first eddit. Thank you so much!!
I have watched this at least fifteen times in the past week; I think it's lead to a genuine psychotic break on my part. 😂 So many amvs of this song fall flat for me because they just aren't /mean/ enough. Meanwhile, this ABSOLUTELY is. 10/10, no notes
This is incredible! You did such a great job pairing lyrics with scenes that fit them so perfectly. Especially lining up "calls me baby" with Lestat's head striking the wall (with the context of of him having said "show me the only way you know how to love" to Louis) is just !!!!
The thing about Lestat is yes, much of his personality is what you see on the surface. Flamboyant, charismatic, the charm, the wit/sass, and style. What he hides is his pain, his fear of being alone, his deeper feelings, his love (in some instances). Louis was always so blinded by his resentment and his guilt and even by Claudia. But then Louis lies too. It's established in the novels that Louis' interview with Daniel, which was later published in universe, was meant to poke a sleeping predator to draw it out. He lied about Lestat or told his side of the story not knowing ALL the details or without full knowledge of certain events. But he loves Lestat. He told his story the way he did to make a splash, to draw out Lestat. It was a "come to me," and it worked.
the contrast between the dance and the reunion scene! lovelovelove!! one is bright but louis would end up attempting to kill lestat while the other in the middle of a storm but this time louis forgives lestat
