    im actually sobbing because this video made me realise how much rory felt different and that she feels isolated. I think if she weren't isolated she wouldn't have stole a yacht or quit yale or any of that.

    This is the best character study of Rory I've ever seen!! There are so many beautiful parallels that matched the beats and lyrics perfectly, and you really captured the essence of her character. I feel like people don't realize that Rory's breakdown didn't come from nowhere, it was slowly built up over the course of her whole life and she's still feeling those effects even in the revival. You did such an amazing job of showing the less cheery and wholesome parts of her character and the darker side of her life

    This was brilliant! What an amazing character study of Rory! There was so many undervidded moments and I just think you really captured her insecurities so well in this. It was brilliant and just so real!

    I'm still so happy you vidded this idea for me! I really adore this song and wish this wasn't the only time it's ever been vidded... maybe I'll think of another idea for it sometime and vid it myself one day lol. Also I'm glad #Vidders4ACause is coming back because these vidding for charity/for good causes endeavors were so fun for everyone involved I think. :)

      Wow can’t believe it hasn’t been vidded another time. It was a good opportunity to do something I wouldn’t otherwise do. In the early vidding days we used to challenge ourselves with more variety I think. I should keep that in mind. Thank you again :)

    Wow, this is a really great edit! Love all the parallels and how you attempted to show in depth the struggles & challenges she faced from each stage in her life. We don’t get to see videos like this much! People expected her to be perfect but of course when you’re young, you do make questionable choices. I don’t think I’ll ever change my mind about how awful AYITL was but I do appreciate the fact that they tried showing that life isn’t all happy endings and things won’t just get handed to you on a plate. The message was kind of there but everything else was just felt off to me.

    • @Supsi85
      @Supsi85  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! I was really frustrated at the end of AYITL because everything just ended like that without real answers on where Rory was going. But there was something very real about the struggles the Rory we knew would face going off into the world. I guess it was mostly annoying after seeing how hard Lorelai worked to see Rory didn't really put in the effort? But at the same time it is interesting, the whole story. I'm so glad you enjoyed this.

    This broke my heart, in such an amazing way. When it got to the bridge of the song, like 2:25 through 2:50 ish of the bridge especially, with "You don't got it" and her saying "Thank you" instead of what she really feels, and feeling regret over not getting a Master's Degree, I started to tear up. I just felt such a range of emotions with this entire video. This video is just SO impressive with undervidded scenes and undervidded voiceovers and capturing a side of Rory I feel like even I sometimes forget she has.
    Then I showed my dad this video, he only agreed to watch one video and not anything else tonight haha, I was worried he wouldn't enjoy this the way I know it deserves, but when it was over his eyes were welling with tears, he said he got near crying near the end too, and he agreed to watch the whole thing again with me haha! So that's a ringing endorsement haha... he loved it too!! It's truly a really powerful, emotional vid.
    I really wanted to write a fanfic after the revival that explored Rory suffering from depression and not wanting her pregnancy and all sorts of stuff, and I also thought this song kinda screams "depression" in general, so so many of the lyrics. I don't exactly have depression, but I still feel like I relate so much to so much of Rory's... demeanor, passivity, failures, etc. Rory's personality generally is one I have always connected with and continue to connect with more than maybe any other character ever. Even the clothes she usually wears are a style I could see myself wearing, at least in the image of myself I have in my mind that's thinner and would actually look good in some of that stuff... XD
    I love so many parts of this video, let me list stuff in order now just to point of pieces of it that especially were wonderful:
    The opening before the lyrics set up the video so well, and started a pattern of AMAZING parallels between various scenes. You found so many scenes I wouldn't have thought to be connected!
    It struck me how serious Rory really is in this video almost all the time and how early on you have Dean asking if she's always this serious and her vehement denial of it.
    It was such an interesting point I feel like you made with Rory's comment in reaction to her mother thinking she's growing up so fast and her saying it "Feels slow". In the context of this video it just felt... powerful. You also showed at that moment a time when she wasn't ready yet to graduate college, when it no longer felt slow, just like your concept of the video you explained in the description, that pink dyed hair scene from "French Twist" haha... such an important Rory character moment.
    I loved a bunch of the next moments... I can't comment on everything but I really liked how unique it was to show Dean asking her "you like Yale?" and her saying she loves it, again specifically considering the context of this video.
    0:58 to 1:02 with those 4 scenes in that sequence, all so undervidded and capturing quite the emotional mood for Rory, I just really love it...
    1:13 "You show your pain (like it really hurts)", that first scene you captured was kinda exactly what I always imagined for that part of the video. It's such a clear cut scene of Rory witnessing someone's pain. The Paris scenes worked so well for that line too!
    Those SCENES you found for Rory "standing in place", again, just wow! So so good, she's standing so still with such... a consistent kind of... holding herself back kinda maybe out of fear. And it kinda extends into her standing there in front of Jess before kissing him the first time and in front of Dean before saying she loves him for "And I shake"... I just love that so much too.
    I've never seen those two running away scenes paralleled but it's so great, she really did have the same literally running away out of like... feeling overwhelmed by her own emotions situation in both episodes, even though they're a little over a season a part. It's such a recurring theme for her character.
    1:53 I'm such a sucker for that episode (When I've had to pick a favorite episode of the show I think I've picked that one) and for Jess(/Rory) and him biting his lip smiling so hard "At just the thought of" all of this was SO good for that line haha...
    2:03-2:07 was such a unique thought right after Rory's voiceover about being a Gilmore, seeing how much she kinda admires and appreciates her happy Gilmore grandparents. And then Emily saying "This isn't you!" was so good too... and it parallels so well with Lorelai then saying she didn't raise Rory to be like this. It's like everyone telling her (even Logan with the "Come back to bed" but she doesn't) that she's not... what they wanted, she's not... enough in various complicated ways... idk. I have so many thoughts I'm still processing.
    But it's so beautifully edited too, the motion in the scene of Rory walking away and her hair slowly waving in many of these moments like 2:23 and then a number in a row...
    Also it wasn't until a few rewatches that i fully got your prefect lyric match for "these are the words I chose".
    That Logan/Rory Pulp Fiction costumes scene about her being so seriously upset about how hard school is, and him brushing it off so casually and ignoring her emotions while making it WORSE by essentially saying (the rest of) life will be just as bad lol... I've never considered that Rory/Logan scene as having this kind of context before given what they're saying.
    2:51 - really glad you got pregnant, pensive, Rory in here. And the way her eyes dart! (I noticed how you captured her eyes similarly at like 1:09 too.) In that scene AND the next one as she's considering before she steals the yacht, and how you lead to the build in the music with the yacht and also her kinda also impulsively throwing away that phone all worked really well as impulsivity Rory parallels after her failed interview. She... I don't remember A Year In The Life well enough for all the nuance right now but you make me want to re-visit some of that.
    Then the "na na na" interlude where she IS a real journalist, but doesn't get to write as much as she'd like to, etc etc... it's so many powerful scenes to group together to tell this new story. Rory standing sadly in the newsroom at 3:13, I just. I really have so many feelings about how you did all this.
    Her "all or nothing" speech from rejecting Logan's proposal matched with the bittersweet/sad longing Logan/Rory final happy moments in "A Year In The Life" also matches this song SO well.
    The "deal" thing with Rory at the end, I'm still not sure what to think about it but I love how big she's smiling, how the black and white vision of what could be, how much she wanted Lorelai's fun ideas to just... be true... to work out, for life to be that fun an easy... it's also a really powerful ending you ended up with, with a scene I'd certainly ENTIRELY forgotten existed.
    All in all, just... THANK YOU. This was so amazing. Means so so much to me that you made this!

      Wow thank you so much for the thorough comment and the bonus of getting your dad to watch it AND enjoy it. That was so cool to read. This video was quite a ride to make:D
      I didn’t have the concept in mind at first but when I started going back from her end of season 5 breakdown, to see where it all started from, I found all these bits and pieces that reveal just how worried she was from the start of the university. The show gave us the Rory everyone loved but then when she went into the real world it wasn’t enough to just be likeable and well-read, and that seems to be what she’s still struggling with in the revival. When you think about how competitive the field of journalism is these days and how you have to ruthlessly network and oversell your skills to get any kind of job, Rory didn’t have that part covered. Even after all those years when she sat down at that interview and they asked her what they would get if they hired Rory Gilmore, she didn’t have a pitch prepared, not even one she might have previously used somewhere. It’s like she was still waiting for someone to notice her capabilities without having to promote them herself. So in that case I think Jess was right, what she needed to do was write a book. Doing research on her own and working quietly is definitely more her. I’m not a big fan of the idea of writing about her and her mom but I guess she needs to start from somewhere.
      So with that in mind I started gathering those moments where she didn’t meet with people’s expectations of her, like you mentioned, and didn’t get the support she needed to really find herself and what she wanted in life. You’d think Logan could have guided her much further in that life but I guess with his upbringing he just didn’t see Rory’s challenges. To him they were just minor details, like school being hard, it didn’t matter because he already had his life set out before him.
      It was so fascinating doing this video. Your fanfic mention reminded me, I was thinking about Rory’s relationship with her future child, who I’m guessing will be a girl lol, and how it might mirror the other Gilmore Girls mother-daughter relationships. Emily gave Lorelai everything she thought her daughter would need, all the opportunities, and she ran away from them and even left Emily’s last hope of tying her to their world, Christopher. Then Lorelai gave Rory everything she was lacking: care, humor, a friendship like bond, and eventually Rory ran away from her too and made some questionable choices, and Lorelai couldn’t see how that could happen. Now I could picture Rory reading to her daughter through her childhood only to find the girl more interested in wasting time (in her opinion) by the computer or phone, skipping school and forming relationships with more “interesting people”, while Rory desperately tries to get her to read a single book, and eventually says “I didn’t raise you to be like this” :D

      @@Supsi85 Oh that's really interesting and not something I'd ever thought of, your final paragraph there. I think it kinda puts in a new light her choice to write about this topic that you're not so thrilled she is, that's kinda... Yeah you have to start somewhere I guess lol? Because Rory doesn't have only herself to look at and what worked and what didn't. She has her mother's story too! She has the observational skills of a journalist somewhere in her and... Rory knows what she herself needed and where she herself kinda went wrong, but she also knows inside and out everything about her mother and Lorelai's struggles and personality and choices and how different people can choose drastically different things and idk. Maybe it could be a more optimistic ending than what you've suggested with that kind of cycle lol.
      I haven't fully thought about her having a girl before, to be honest. My fanfic idea, to be honest, involves her getting an abortion, and i saw other people hoping she'd have a boy, and i think i internalized somewhere how really interesting it would be if she had a boy so i forgot to consider how it would feel to me if she had a girl lmao.
      This whole conversation also reminds me a bit of everything I've been obsessing over these past few weeks when it comes to the idea of parents kinda inevitably being imperfect and in some way or another "screwing their kids up"... I've been chatting with someone I might try to raise kids with but he's just so worried he'll mess any potential kids up that despite how much he wants to parent he worries maybe he should just avoid becoming a parent. And I'm just. It's been something I've dwelled on for weeks but it just seems like if you're really trying your best to consider all these little things that matter aren't you ahead of the curve? Lol
      Anyway... Back to your vid... Two things I forgot to mention are:
      A) I love how her watching Jess kiss another girl after she spent all summer thinking about him and after she put on a dress just with the hopes of seeing him she's just... Quiet. What it says about her to react, to feel her pain, the way she does.
      And
      B) at the end with Jess, then Logan encouraging her to write the book, then even her mom getting on board and being encouraging about her book. Mainly I completely forgot/didn't realize she has that scene where she tells Logan she can't and Logan though says she can. I loved the reminder.

    • @VioletEmerald
      @VioletEmerald 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh and one more thing I noticed now is how you showed Rory holding the book Jess wrote and got published in her hand, saying she doesn't get to write as much as she'd like, and then immediately she kinda needs Jess to tell her she could... Do it too. That parallel of when Jess tells her to do it. It's obvious to big fans that in the show it means more when he tells her to write a book because he is an author himself but i didn't realize in this video how directly you were reminding us of his book immediately before that moment haha. It all just flows so seamlessly and well.

    Watching this vid again now that I've finished making my "Vienna" Rory tribute vid, I realize I was thinking of certain moments in this vid while editing kinda. A big part of my own priority in that vid was vidding scenes I hadn't before lol... but a few of the ones I hadn't, you had! XD Lol Anyway personally I love this one SO MUCH MORE than even your "Time" tribute to her. This one just got SO MUCH into it and you did such an amazing job with everything about it. It's such an impressive vid. Thanks again for making this!!
