Coming from yhlee's rec, and this is *very* cool -- Spike character vids have been done so much that there was a real barrier to entry for me, and this blew me away regardless. I think it takes off at "movies only make me sad" and just steamrolls from there, but the slower intro is great build to there. The intercutting against the chronological order keeps me interested and excited all the way through, the way I'm getting both stories at once -- the relationship and its collapse at the same time. Terrific clip choice from a visual standpoint all the way through -- each shot is just laden with contextual meaning, and because they're all visually distinct, I can follow them easily. The transitions between the sections, bringing the next 'woman' in on the end of the previous section, are also great, and make that final shot a slam-dunk.

Thank you. I know what you mean about Spike vids :-)

This one, for once, I really had the structure and the ending worked out before starting and everything then just seemd to flow from the premise. Must try that again!
