A vid of birthday love

[purplefringe]

Saving Me & You
edited by purplefringe
fandom: Imagine Me & You and Saving Face
characters: Rachel/Luce and Wil/Vivian
music: Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer
summary: Lesbian love in London and New York
content notes: Spoilers for both films
notes: Made for my partner-in-squee, the wonderful and brilliant such_heights, on the occasion of her birthday. HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY STUPIDFACE.
Warning: this vid is PURE FLUFF and I REGRET NOTHING.
Side note, for those of you who haven't seen the films but are watching this anyway: these two films do not *actually* contain the exact same storyline played by different actors, whatever I've made it look like. There are a LOT of parallels, both narratively and visually, and seeing as both such_heights and I love a good parallel, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with that. But I promise that both films have different premises, different subplots and focuses, a bunch of other great characters who were left out of this vid, and are both very much worth watching :-D

Lyrics

Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me, upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

So kiss me
So kiss me

This is so incredibly lovely! ♥

[purplefringe]

Aw, thanks Jenny! Have you seen either of the films?

[usuallyhats]

I've seen both of them! But I didn't realise how many parallels there were between them before seeing your vid. ♥

[calvinahobbes]

Such a pretty vid. You're right in saying that they're not actually similar stories, but that just made me love all the parallels even more.

[purplefringe]

Thank you! Parallels = ♥

[sophinisba]

Aw yay, I enjoyed that very much!

[purplefringe]

Thank you! I am very glad :-)

[happydork]

This is so ridiculously lovely I can't even. I've watched both these films many, many times and you still made me gasp with the beauty of them -- this is gorgeous, fresh vid.

[purplefringe]

Oh, thank you! That's a lovely thing to say. They are both such gorgeous films :-)

[miarrow]

Wonderful! Two of my all time fav films all wrapped up in such a warm and lovely way. Made my night!

[purplefringe]

Awwwww, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[cosmic_llin]

[goodbyebird]

Awww this was so sweet, I loved it ♥

[purplefringe]

:-) Thanks! These films are ADORABLE.

[monanotlisa]

Eek, I just stumbled upon this, AND LOVE IT SO MUCH! <3 These are both such heartwarming movies, Saving Face (right here on the shelf next to me) particularly strong in its own right, and I just -- aww. Thanks for creating this!

[purplefringe]

Awwww, yay thank you so much! It's always an unexpected delight when people comment on this vid :-) Both these films are indeed super cute and I'm really glad you enjoyed the vid!Faaaaaces.

So I don't know I missed this at the time, but I've just watched it three times in a row and linked it from my Tumblr. Because HEARTS IN MY EYES. SO MANY HEARTS.

[sanguinity]

Saving Face I knew about (and was the reason I followed the link); Imagine Me & You, however, I did not. That obvs needs to be rectified.

[purplefringe]

Omg it DOES. Imagine Me & You is ADORABLE. Super-cute lesbians in snuggly knitted jumpers, it's great. Also there's bonus! Anthony Head and Celia Imrie and Matthew Goode and really fleeting Angel Coulby. Definitely watch it!
