I would like to start off by saying it is a brilliant tribute, i loved parts of it and there were other parts i didn't like so much.

As a film studies student I know what to look for in films to make them work, especially as this was a montage tribute, we did a lot of work on montage, first i felt the first song was brilliant, it was if I am not mistaken the song Gina sings in her bar when we first meet her, however i felt the second song you used did not fit the mood you were going for with the picture so i didnt feel that worked verywell, however the last song was very fitting with the mood achieved by the pictures and scenes of film, i loved it from around eight minutes twenty onwards and loved the use of rhythmic montage in the last minute when everything starts to speed up this was executed very well, i also dont understand where people are coming from when they talk about flow, it flowed really well, there were some parts i felt that interrupted the flow but that is bound to happen, nothing is perfect, but flow was generally good. Lastly, do not listen to what is said about the quality of the video, yeah some parts are of less quality than other parts but people need t get past it, it does not hinder the video in anyway, it is still seeable and depictable, and yeah the sound quality is admittedly a bit low, but nothing turning up the volume wont solve. Some people are making a bigger deal than is needed.

Overall it is a good video.

Thanks for the great feedback Wikidkid! I'm glad you liked it. It really means a lot coming from a film student.

I have to disagree with you though about the second song. I think the music fits the mood created by the pictures perfectly. I'm really not sure where you're coming from with that remark to be honest. Not to sound boastful (although I'm obviously proud of this work), but I think the second song portion is brilliantly done and fits together great. The quotes and scenes, to me, perfectly suit the atmosphere created by the music. Also, the slow pace of the song makes it difficult to come off looking natural, but I still think I pulled it off well.

The sound and picture quality isn't on level with a Hollywood production, but I think for YouTube montage videos, it's definitely on the upper end. The first song sounds like poor quality, but that's just the way the song is, not the video. Also, it won't sound near as good on speakers as it does with headphones, you might wanna try watching with headphones. Still I understand your criticism.

Anyways, I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for the in-depth criticism I appreciate it!

Is this a hobby of yours Jeff44? I made a video last year for a Birthday present for a friend of mine, it took a while, but it was a lot of fun!

It's really good! Gave me chills. My only complaint is the distorted piano background music up until 4:00 minutes. Otherwise, very very good.
