Three minutes/Five minutes

I was Stumbling through the interwebs and came across this video "Leave Me" produced by Daros Films. I was absolutely blown back at just how much this short affected me. Although the three minute version has a few edited lines from the original that sound (and looked) forced, it still passes the same message. Love. To have the choice to give up everything you know, even your family, for just another moment with someone you love is paralyzing. Daros has really struck a chord with me on this one, because the first time I watched it, I can admit, I cried. I am cognizant to the idea of losing some one quite close to me, and suffering the same emotions. My dear and longtime friend was killed in a car accident less that a month before I was to fly over the pond to visit him. I placed blame on myself due to the fact that prior to his accident I was speaking with him on the phone. I had pleaded that we stay chatting for a few minutes longer, which was delaying him from leaving the house. Had I hung up when he said he had to go, would he still be alive? Another bonus to the "make you cry" ratio is the eloquent, heartbreaking score Daros has used. The simple, single stroke, morose piano could disarm even the strongest heart when faced with this type of situation. So to sum it all up, this video is like a replay for me. I commend Daros Films for this short. They truly captured the essence of a lost love. You can see the five minute submission here.
