"Illusion & Dream" - MirrorMask

[di-br.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think I've ever seen a vid of this movie before... but I just had to make one anyway!


Title: Illusion & Dream
Movie: MirrorMask.
Song: "Illusion & Dream" by Poets of the fall
Vidder: Di (di_br)
Category: General movie vid.
Pairing/Characters: Helena, her mother, the two Queens, and a little bit of Valentine.
Description: This is a general, linear MirrorMask vid, following Helena's journey.
I think everything is best explained in the plot summary from www.imdb.com

"Helena, a 15-year-old girl in a family of circus entertainers, often wishes she could run off and join real life. After a fight with her parents about her future plans, her mother falls quite ill and Helena is convinced that it is all her fault. On the eve of her mother's major surgery, she dreams that she is in a strange world with two opposing queens, bizarre creatures, and masked inhabitants. All is not well in this new world - the white queen has fallen ill and can only be restored by the MirrorMask, and it's up to Helena to find it. But as her adventures continue, she begins to wonder whether she's in a dream, or something far more sinister."

Really enjoyed this. :D It felt like a very cool trip through the movie by way of emotion and imagery instead of strict narrative. Lovely flow and pacing. I think I connected more with Helena in your vid than on my watch of the movie. :)

And I think there's at least one other vid to the movie if you're looking for any. Made by corn_child013. Here's a link:
