There is something so harrowing yet powerful about solely using a movie in which minorities (Indigenous Americans) and animals suffer at the hand of those in "charge", those who have no other desire but reigning control and terror. So painfully fitting of the current climate right now. This is absolutely incredible and the raw clips and simple typography really makes the whole thing hit hard.
spirit is a film with so much symbolism into the attrocities of the past, and now can be used as a reflection of today. the simplicity of things in this can leave the most impact with emotions and thoughts. this is gorgeous jess
Spirit was the first concept that ever introduced me (European) to the history of the United States and Turtle Island itself, how the concept of "america" was born and what blood had to be shed in order for it to be established. I watched the movie as a child, teenager and recently as an adult. It is truely amazing and a certain kind of sadness how in each stage of life this movie's messages affected oneself. As a child I mainly watched because I saw horses in it (I was a pretty dedicated horse kid), as a teenager it was a mixture of both the meaning and the human portrayal of animals and as adult the message of mutual suffering through opressing systems (humans catching wild animals to forcefully domesticating them vs. colonizers forcing indigenous people to adapt and 'domesticate' to another life style, essentially trying to beat the "wild" out of them without truely understanding that being free doesn't mean they're "wild" in a negative wild). This edit is truely beautiful, encapsulating this feeling I got when rewatching the movie as adult. I barely had a movie drive tears into my eyes than Spirit and paired with the song, it's lyrical meaning and the visual choices of scenery it does really emulate the emotional cocktail I had during my watchtime. Amazing work!
given the current situation we're facing, i think using spirit specifically was a stroke of genius. this puts everything many of us are feeling into something tangible, this is what people mean when they say we need to create. thank you for giving me something to come back to, to hold onto this feeling. definitely one of my favorites from you
Never thought a spirit edit would make me cry, I haven’t even seen the movie but this is so evocative of how many people (myself included) feel looking into our much darker future now.
This vid popped up in my recommended and the thumbnail made me curious to check it out. I don’t know what to say that other comments have said better. I’m indigenous (Quechua) so even though it’s not the same nation as the characters in the movie, Spirit has always held a special place in my heart. It’s that feeling of hope, and resilience, and strength against insane struggle. With the recent events going on, I truly needed to watch this video. America, I don’t know what you want from me indeed.
Can't exactly describe the feeling or you'd be stuck reading an essay but this awoken a wild side of me I missed throwing into my art work....been trying to be someone else instead of myself but this determined me to strive and walk my way and not follow the crowd-
I am now using this particular video to describe "a modern day american pie" because wow, this edit is painfully fitting in many ways to how I'm sure many people are feeling/experiencing the world right now, while also giving some strange hidden feeling of hope, and of a kinder future, which, I've found is exactly the feeling that the song "american pie" gives/gave. Listening to this song on its own, I found myself missing your edit, as it adds something to the song that the song alone can't seem to quite grab, but the two medias mixed together in such a way breathes both into a new light that brings about so many feelings. This is a lovely example of why we, as a community, as a species, create.
2:00-4:32 were the parts that hit me the most. I think everyone else has made more detailed comments but man these two minutes in particular made my heart beat faster and I could feel the sorrow. All that is left right now is to continue staying in solidarity and resist. I hope these next 4 years arent too atrocious. When I was a kid I was too hopeful that people were kind and thoughtful...now I am heartbroken. I cant believe that even in such a progressive state, propositions that were for in the best interest in the people that suffer the most didnt pass. How do people think slavery should continue to exist is beyond my understanding. The "when I was a child part" gave me the most chills and "I love people" oof i couldnt relate more. I try to see the good in people everyday and I will continue trying. I am just utterly disappointed. Spirit's desperation is what I've been feeling. I hope you are doing well yourself jess, I know I've lost connection with you but if you ever want to touch bases again I am more than open. Thank you for making this video, it felt very cathartic.
THANK YOU for this comment…it means so much❤ desperation and disappointment is definitely what i hoped to convey. trying to hold onto the quote from night in the woods. “I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do.”
This here made me re-watch the movie, holy hell, the way the scenes match the word so perfectly, really made me tear up and relieve some of the sorrow that the current situation has created, thank you for this experience
even though this edit seems rather simple to others ive seen, i cant imagine the ammount of time it must've took to choose which movie, which song, the clips, etc, to get the result. spirit is one of the best movies ive seen to date (even in comparison to more recent films) both in its story and in its animation. paired with this song, and the time you posted it...this video is truly something. i think ill be thinking about it for a while.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, and I absolutely forgot how beautiful it is. Thanks for bringing it back to me, as well as introducing me to a new song
well i was just looking for sillies to watch to go to sleep to, saw this in my recommended and was fully expecting just an odd edit about the us' current climate... this is a fucking *great* edit omg. i wasnt even expecting this to be a song.
not to sound like a loser, but i cried JIFEJOSFI actually i have been for the past 2 days and this edit is really wonderful, jess. your clip choices are perfect, all of them. and i really loved seeing an animash from you that's just full with raw emotion. do it more often, please !! 2:33 btw was one of my favorite parts and 4:01 til the end really got to me
I've been looping this for days now. It's truly phenomenal the way you edited it. I've never heard this song before and it combined with your editing of Spirit is so visceral. It's in a way exactly what I needed to vent these feelings. Thank you.
UGHH I LOVE EDITS LIKE THESE, you matched the lyrics so beautifully!! It actually got me emotional, god... I've never heard this song before, but I'm so glad I have now, thanks to this!! ;;
This was too good man. Every single choice you made in this edit was very meaningful and fit right into the lyrics like puzzle pieces to a canvas. I love it so much
I am at a genuine loss for words, this is an incredible edit. I know it's been said already but using Spirit only for this works so well. and your clip choice is honestly so flawless. the text fits so well, it's subtle enough it doesn't take away from the clips, but it really reinforces your clip choices and the message of the song. 01:27 was such a heartbreaking touch. this is a genuinely beautiful edit, and such a clear reflection of the last few days. I'm so sorry that y'all are facing this 😔
this gave me chills!!! I really love how you brought this song to life, your scene selection is so perfectly assembled & your use of simple typography was genius!
I watched this last week or so for the first time and it was recommended to me again so I came back to it, and even though I had seen it before it just hits so deep. Something about using cuts from Spirit (very well-matched scenes and cuts I’ll add) in combination with this song just feels so emotional, especially given the current situation. As many other people have said already, Spirit has so much symbolism in it of the atrocities of the past, something that I didn’t fully realize until after I took AP US History and we were discussing and learning about all the details of those events. I’ll probably come back and watch this again at some point, it’s one of those videos that you just keep coming back to bc of the deep emotion it makes you feel.
Your clip choices, as always, are wonderful. Even in your ability to use one movie for a whole edit. This is so..fitting given the current events. I also really love the way you did the text. Very powerful stuff
What’s the name of this song cuz it’s really good, is it America like in the title for this vid or what? Btw this edit is really good I’ve always loved spirit it’s crazy how old the movie is lol

THAT'S WHAT THE MOVIE SPIRIT IS ABOUT???? I thought it was just another horse girl movie. 😲
It has a lot of symbolism around specifically the americanization and oppression of indigenous americans so yes!
