everyone I know goes away in the end... - A collage by Mark Romanek,a song by Trent Reznor,a performance by Johnny Cash. Extraordinary. More than the movie short, more than the lyric, more than the singer. More than a filming of a song for commercial gain. The whole excedes the parts - capturing the spirit of a lifetime of experiences, understanding the essence of a lifetime of emotion in a few short moments. A celebration of life s sadness and loss. Imbued with the simple truth - material gains are nothing without health and spiritual wealth. Uplifting. Life affirming. Reassurring. Comforting. So much more than sound and vision. So much more than the sum of its parts... ...more ... much more than this. Sparse. Haunting. Honest and true. Deeply personal - universally understood It transends the medium. Out distances it by a long, long way. It defines a life of pilgrimage. A journey. His journey. And in a way... ...my life s journey... your life s journey... our life s journey.
Depressing - The other reviews were so great I had to buy this DVD, later to find out I could watch it on You Tube. It is a little bit longer than 4 minutes but if you really need to have it buy it used. The other reviews were so in awe of this but I found it sad and hard to watch.
Hurt = Old Friends - While I am not a huge Johnny Cash fan, I found this video to be amazing. I thought the crucifixion images were a bit much, but the rest of the video was beautiful. The feeling I was left with was so similar to the way I felt the first time I heard Simon and Garfunkle s Old Friends from Bookends.
MAKES YOU THINK - In this DVD, Johnny Cash is more powerful in the frailty of age than he was in his youth. His voice is scratchier and less strong than in times past, but it only adds to the theme of his song. The images that flash past are the memories of a man with many regrets intermingled with the only thing that makes his life worthwhile in the big scheme of things - redemption.
amazing....absoultly stunnning - I believe that this video is one of the most amazing music video I ever saw. Johnny Cash really puts his soul into this song. This song is one of the few that touches my heart. And it has touched many peoples hearts when they saw it. It is one amazing music video, and I recommend buying this, even though thats all there is. Just the video.
