The Cry Of The Rabbit - A Haku Tribute

Around the time of my 19th birthday, which was a few months back, I required the second Naruto uncut boxset, and my eyes were immediately entraced by the character known as Haku. I could relate to his calm demeanor and his reason for fighting, for my feelings are mutual. I could also relate to all of the rabbit symbolism found throughout his segments, for rabbits are fragile, soft-spoken figures, and that is what both Haku and myself represent. Thus, I decided to create an amv centering around both my feelings and Haku's, and here it is.

This basic plot of this amv centers around Haku's life, from the very beginning and through his unfortunate demise. I also focused on two relationships he had within the series, namely Zabuza and Naruto, although, the relationship between Zabuza and Haku is more greatly shown. Of course, there is homosexual undertones present, but that is basically for the viewer to decide. In this amv, I just went with raw emotion, and however you perceive is how it was meant to be understood.

The song that I chose, Sleep Tonight, by Stars, fit the mood for this amv perfectly. It's soft tone, and the lead singe'rs vocals create a mood that makes you feel like crying or moves you to such a great extent that you wish that it would never end. It may be short compared to most, but it's simplicity is key in the formation of this amv.

Overall, I believe that through the creation of this amv, I was able to get over the fact that Haku did pass to the worlds beyond, and that I can smile, knowing that Haku and Zabuza are relazing somewhere nice, or so I hope.

This video was edited with Ulead VideoStudio 10, (trial), Windows Movie Maker, and Virtual Dub Mod. I hope to get an amv version up soon, but it wasn't working at the time of writing this.

Please, enjoy this amv, let me know what you think about it, and may it remind you of the struggles involved within all of our lives.

Lyrics to Sleep Tonight by Stars:

We dont want to sleep tonight
Still young like that i count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break

You will cry
And i will cry
Cuz all the love's
Alive tonight

Neighbourhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while i catch your breath

You will cry
And i will cry
Cuz all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry...
