Why this vid kicks ass:

Because it's a very shiny extravaganza featuring Mal, River, and guns, which makes it the kind of thing I want to watch All The Time.

Seriously, though. All the clips come from the movie, and, like the movie, it's Mal's story, filtered through River's experience, and it's visually stunning. I don't really have the vocabulary to talk about vids, but I do know when something works even if I can't say why, and this vid works. It's about the violence in Mal, in River, in the Reavers, and how it all stems from the same source, and how it can be terrifying - especially when tampered with to create a false serenity, the pax of Miranda - but it can also be used to fight for freedom, for what's right, and how Mal remembers that that's what he fought for once, and in River, with River, it's what he's fighting for again.
