Thread: Gloomy video, need ur comment

Halo, all~~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXQ5L...1&feature=plcp

Please give me some comment about this video, thanks so much

it doesn't have a storyline, just how i feel to this world

I quite enjoyed (if that's the right word) that movie - even if it was a bit "art" for me. I think I understand how you feel in this world for the first and final sections - and assuming I undesrtood correctly, then you've done a good job communicating.

Unfortunately I didn't get the message in the car park scene. Maybe I'm just dense.

I liked the low tech way in which it was filmed - although I'd have liked some of the images to have been alittle clearer (brighter).

I'll let you know my interpretation (so you can judge whether I was correct) when others have had a chance to comment.

I think for an intense piece like this the talent has to be totally convincing and I'm afraid I just didn't get that from her. She seems very self conscious about being in front of the camera and not convincing about the role she was playing. I the eyes are the window to the soul and her eyes said fear not MAD as the title says.

I would have liked to have seen some better quality shots. I think there is a place for grainy, dark images but it was over used in this piece.

Beginning face shot very intense !!!!!!!
Very different ?????
My interpretation is you are trapped in this world /reality but not fully part of it either so you are not confined by it laws.
You want to leave but don't know how or maybe you have already left but can't transcend??????

Everyone's interpretation will be different but that is what makes it more fun.

Were you watching the same film as me? Where did it say "mad"?

The title of the video is 瘋, MAD.

How wierd. On my screen it's just 瘋

(the following one comes up as 暗DARK)

of course 瘋 may just mean mad in English but my gasp of languages stops at Dover.

Anyway, assuming that somewher the film is meant to be called Mad, I agree with you - it certainly doesn't look like mad as in insane - though the final scenes could certainly be mad as in angry.

What I took from the film (and I hadn't read the bludrb under it) was that the first section seeme dto descrive a sort of frustration at the futility of day to day life. You go a few steps forwards, then you go back again. You go forwards, then you start all over again. the final section - yess definitely "trapped" - but I certainly didn't think it was as fanciful like slimbob suggested - I simply thoht it was symbolic in being trapped on the treadmill of everyday life, unable to break free.

I couldn't come up with any satisfying intepretation for the middle section.

Having now read the blurb, I'm clearly off the mark - who this "You" is (as in "Without You. We will be free again) I don't know. I prefer my own interpretation, anyway

lol, do some terror movies, please. crazy video. I like it. this kind of video is new for me.

I can't read Chinese I used IE can translate it. My gasp of languages stops at Doncaster.

thanks for all the comment~~i would say the title cannot just simple translated to English, in Chinese,瘋 is more than just mad or insane.
I appreciate all the comments I could get in here.

it is too bad, my camera cannot shoot things better in the darkness.
