Reactions/Reviews

This vid was recommended by Ancasta on Crack Van on July 25, 2008: "This is such a hard choice to make. Being a vidder myself, I've paid close attention to the amazing work being done in S&H by folks like lauramcewan (Laura McEwan), shfan (A T.M. Production), giandujakiss, and enednoviel (among others), and have counted myself lucky to be in such company.

I went with this, Mirien's only S&H vid (and possibly only vid, period--it's the only one I know of), because it's the very first S&H vid I ever watched, and one I've played over and over again.

I've explained before, in other venues, that part of my reaction to this vid comes from how I link it in my mind to the lives of the actors playing these two roles. Mirien captures plenty of gorgeous shots of David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser. They're young, seemingly happy, together, at the height of their careers, with their whole lives ahead of them. Both would go on to face such tough challenges. I can't help but look at their bright and shining faces, listen to the lyrics being sung, and think, 'I wonder if you guys had any idea what lie in store.'

I know I'm reading more into the vid than Mirien no doubt intended. But that's what I bring to it, just like any audience member brings their own POV to any artistic endeavor. Even if you don't see it the way I do, Mirien includes some wonderful fun, exciting shots that really capture the energy and joy of the show, and--most importantly--the unique and lasting relationship between these two men, both in real life and on the screen."
