(fe) la vie
by BlueyodaUltimately, it’s not some artsy fartsy piece of art; it’s a trashy assemblage of mostly Michael Jackson’s awesome awesomeness. It’s meant to make you tap your foot to the rhythm!

Intention for this fanedit: To chronicle my life in the form of an extended music video. But more specifically, and the inspiration for this, the events that led to my hospitalization: my failed love story with the girl who broke my heart. Or maybe I broke my own heart. And maybe it wasn’t a failure after all and things are as they were meant to be.
How intention was achieved: Using Michael Jackson’s creations and adding to it my own interpretation, assembling pieces of my puzzle which even I don’t understand. And I feel fine with that.

Additional Comment: This is my most intimate fanedit so far. It’s my bible, the meaning of me. Every frame, every lyric, every transition, every glitch is me. It goes so far down my own rabbit hole that even I don’t understand it fully and I don’t think I ever will; because I am changing, learning new things about me and the universe every day so the meaning of the thing will change along every time I watch it. My friend, who is the only person to have seen it so far, has pointed out a few things in it that made me facepalm for not having understood them, even though I created the damn thing. But ultimately, it’s not some artsy fartsy piece of art; it’s a trashy assemblage of mostly Michael Jackson’s awesome awesomeness. It’s meant to make you tap your foot to the rhythm!
Time needed for the edition: Approx. 11 to 13 days, I didn’t count.

This kind of very personal edit can be a little opaque to some audience.
That said it worked great to me, not only because the music is cool but also because once we understand that every main characters of each scenes are in fact the faneditor himself
(in this case Blueyoda) we can follow pretty well his different states of mind and the progression from child to man.
At least that’s the way I feel this edit.
To me it’s a 10/10 for it’s bold, original, “risky” (and not too long!)
Not sure it will work for everyone though. It’s a trip.

That was like watching a James Joyce novel. Utterly insane, but enjoyable. Makes me wish a paid attention during French class. Not going to give it a rating. Giving this a numerical assessment would be like dancing about football.

It got to me more and more. Blueyoda had a vision, and one is drawn into it. If you let it. I agree that this is hard to rate, and ratings are certainly not what BY thought about when making this. Loved the ending anyway.

Fascinating, Complicated, straight forward, a lucid experience as a whole. Exploring the subconscious limits of our brain it creates a story that ties all the elements of Blue’s self into a unorthodox way of telling musical/extended musical story.
Highlighting the sharp edges of his back story without draw so much attention but at the same time creating a character with tension and goals.
I should have been Being Blueyoda Malcovich as entering a colorful world without colors and vibrant emotions of his own life(s).
10/10
