Weird for the sake of weird is okay in my book, there's no need to necessarily explain it. In fact I probably would have liked the video a little better without the "explanation" at the end, but that's just me.
Editing-wise it was good; nothing particularly stood out but it held my attention. I have a really hard time getting into AMVs that use classical music, though -- there are very few out there that I really enjoy -- so I probably won't be rewatching this any time soon.
Still, it's a nice enough video. 3/5
Thanks for the opinion! That's really-really great that people have different understandings of this, because it would be boring to hear the same from everybody.
One of the reasons I ended the vid like this is that I wanted to generate the feeling of duality in viewers' minds, so that they could think over it themselves and try to draw their own conclusions.
Anyways, thank you again

Um, actually, I would like to point out a thing which, I hope, will make the whole thing a little clearer to the viewers. The point is that the vid is not as random as it may seem at the first glance. There's a logical chain of "events" and images which start joining into one whole at the moment, when the train enters the tunnel. If you look carefully, you can see several details which make you understand that the dream is "telling" a particular story which takes place in a particular surroundings. Those details come together and intensify to the extent of a colourful messy nightmare, which is the climax of the whole thing.
Speaking of the beginning of the vid, where the most randomish things take place, I can only tell you that here I followed the "dreamy" pattern. Just try to remember one of your own dreams and you'll see what I mean. The nightmares usually have a blurred and unclear beginning and only in the middle of the dream or in the end the faces, events and things become understandable and, eventually, horrible.
