VID REC: In the End by TinkleFilms (PG)

...This took longer to write than I thought (I've never written a vid rec before), but it's still Friday in some time zones, right?

Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Gen – Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
Length: 3.38
Music: “In the End” by Linkin Park
Vidder on LJ: not on LJ as far as I know
Vidder Website: http://www.youtube.com/user/TinkleFilms
Why this must be watched:

I tried so hard and got so far,
and in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall, to lose it all,
and in the end, it doesn't even matter


I'm not actually much of a fanvid watcher, but this one is so awesome I have to share it with you. Framed as Darth Vader's reflections on his past, it's the story of the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, in all its heartbreaking glory. All his struggles to be a good person, to save the people he loves, and even just to love them, end in failure time and time again, until finally he sacrifices his soul and becomes the blackest villain – and yet even that doesn't matter in the end, because there is still the possibility of forgiveness and redemption. I've watched it a gazillion times, and it never leaves me unmoved.

In the End
