Wow! This clip was called "Our Deal" which was surprisingly directed by Drew Barrymore and was a MTV production. This short movie told a story through a number of different scenes. There was maybe one or two spoken lines. The images told the story without having to use words. There was two gangs and as all gangs do they have conflict which causes them to fight. Ironically a girl and a boy from the different gangs fall in love and are torn between their friends. When it comes time to fight each other the girl is angry with the boy so she begins to fight him and he falls from the balcony. She rushes to her lover's side and is sorry and begins to weep when she realizes there was nothing but a miscommunication between the two. But now the blood is on her hands and she must live with the regret of being angry with him.
I usually don't like silent films but this was shockingly intriguing. This video I think was made to inspire kids to make peace with one another, and that there is no need for violence. This should be played more to spread the word. It was very inspiring, and the music was perfect for this piece.
