Why this vid kicks ass:

This vid is just incredible hands down. From what I've read around the net, this vid means different things to different people. But the underlying thing for me about it, and the thing I love the most, is how it highlights the fundamental bottom line for Supernatural, the relationship between these two brothers and the utter depths and sacrifices they will go to and through for each other. The absolute pain and despair that seems to be their lot and fate (which is another theme I enjoyed about this vid, the inevitability of fate and overcoming the insurmountable) doesn't come between them and what they mean to each other. And while the sacrifices they make for each other and the heart breaking road this vid takes them on will tear your soul to pieces, the absolute love for each other as brothers and friends makes this vid a strangely hopeful one to me.

And beyond the emotional aspects of this piece, there is the fantastic job in music selection, monologue overlaying, and editing. Words and images are combined in such a way that is jaring, geling, and just a work of art all together. Her choice of monologue (Dean's speech over Sam's body in the Season 2 finale)to begin the vid is a stroke of genius when combined with all the other elements of other sound clips, images, song, and emotional depth. It sets the tone for the whole vid as we are taken on an incredible journey of grief, initial hopelessness, deep wishes for fate to change, and brotherly love. Altogether, this is a vid that illustrates some of the strong passions and emotions that Supernatural is for me. It's the show that makes me feel and this vid does the same.
