:00-:11 - Great use of the beats to start the vid off and center in on Trixie.
:18 - I still cringe when Al throws her into the wall, especially when you emphasized it with the beat.
And I'm young and I'm strong But I feel old and tired - For me, that lyric is the central point of the beginning of the vid. I'm pretty sure it's in the subtext that Al got Trixie from the same orphanage that he was in, like all of his whores, but I'm not completely sure. Either way, that lyrics works so well for Trixie in many ways, not just how her life started out.
You say my time here has been some sort of joke - That scene always makes me sad in a deep way, when Al makes Sol pay for Trixie. You used the scene well to get across the emotion.
1:32-1:36 - I love the way you have her hitting Al, then use those seconds of stillness.
Oh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man - Great editing in that section and I love the lyric in relation to Trixie partly because I love her: "Fuck every last one of you. I wish I was a fuckin' tree."
To a different beat - It's that right there in the vid when I realized just how far she had come.
2:06-2:12 - Once again, an amazing scene that you got the emotions of across wonderfully.
2:20 - Beautiful shot.
2:55-2:57 - I love that you included that moment of Al's slow smile and recognition of what's she's become and what she can do.

Overall, it's an amazing and inciteful look at Trixie. It has a beautiful glowing warmth to it that radiates. This is the first Deadwood vid I've ever seen, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's also the best. As with the show itself, there's so much meaning behind it all.
