One of the guys in this film looks like Daniel Bruhl in The Edukators. And no, it’s not spelt wrong, it’s German. Also, it’s quite nice seeing this place as it is, with no editing or dramatic lighting. I mean, where I live, the only films where see of places in America are heavily made up, edited and Hollywoodized. It’s nice to see a place in America as it is. It doesn’t look too different from home.

I love this song so much. It is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. I know it is about someone dieing but does anyone know the story behind it? Just wanna know cuz it is so pretty.

I shrugged my shoulders and resigned myself to the same silly foreign name, a sequence of odd letters stitched together like a crazy quilt, easily misspelled, misread, mispronounced, teased and squeezed and tickled and jabbed at during recess, along with Nataki the black girl (my first kiss), Opie the foster kid (who died in a car crash), and Kiki the Japanese boy (who didnt even speak English but we played marbles during recess and communicated with our own form of sign language).

I can’t stand it when people comment on videos other than the point of the the video. The point of this video was to share this beautiful song. Please stop fighting and enjoy it.

Yeah, Opie was his friend. But he killed himself when he was a kid. And since he was new to the school, Sufjan felt bad for not getting to know him better.

I read it on the Sidebar (What’s in a name?) that Opie was a friend of him and died in a car accident

The song alone makes me feel so many deep emotions, but this video makes it all the more powerful. I want to cry. Good job.
