Holmes/Waton vid!
Jun. 5th, 2010 09:05 pmTitle: The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Homes and Watson!
Song: "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Us"
Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Movie: "Sherlock Holmes" (Guy Ritchie's; 2009) [and a couple of sneaky clips from "Finding Neverland"]
Comments from the vidder: Yeah, so I'm not really super proud of this one, but you know, whatever. I do enjoy it, and I hope you do too. I found the song difficult to vid for -- it's a bit quirky and ponderous (I edited out a few big chunks of it and it's STILL almost 5 minutes long) -- but I couldn't squelch my desire to do it. Every time I listened to it, I thought of H/W and UST. In my mind, the wasp (or crow? can we pretend a crow works?) represents both the prick of love and desire, and the the oppressiveness of (Victorian) society and ideals which make that love impossible. Enjoy.
Download: My copy of SH isn't great (it's very dark) and WMM isn't great, of course, and on YT it just becomes even worse. So if you're interested in a slightly better quality viewing, here's a download link: here. [28,169 KB; 4 minutes, 56 seconds]
