VID REC: Merlin - "In Memory of Uther Pendragon"
Vidder: MontHulme Productions
Musical artist: Enya - "May It Be"
Pairing: none
Vidder on LJ: Unknown
Vidder's website: YouTube
Why this vid kicks ass:
This incredibly moving tribute and farewell to a complex character moved me to literal tears. There's so much more to Uther Pendragon besides tyrant to the magical. He's a loving father, a warrior king, a vengeful spirit, and a man who has good, if grossly misguided, intentions. He's a complex man who deserves to be seen as such and not as a cookie cutter villain like so many see him as.
This vid does just this. Through fantastic music choice, clip selection, and a superb choice in voice over @ the end, this vid breathes life into Uther and makes you feel for him. Doesn't matter if you liked him in the show or not, I'm dang sure you'll still feel a twinge in your heart as he hands the kingly torch to his son through his tragic death saving that same son. Sail on, great King, to the land of eternal youth. Your son will join you someday.
