Dancers in the Dark - A Brief History of Dance in Film

Happy new year! I have been watching this every year for three years now, It’s become an essential way of closing out the old year and bringing in the new for me. Thank you for this masterpiece!

I love this video. Thank you Bread. I watch it to think about my wife. And a bit about myself...

I'm glad that this is on your home page. It's Beautiful & has the spirit/ emotion of your videos without saying a thing. Just amazing.

I cannot express how this cut means to me. Through the tears and catharsis it all becomes joy when I find in motion.

I return back here every now and again to confirm this is the best video ever made on this platform.







Still is.

I've rewatched this video at least a dozen times. Stunning work.

I really liked this! Some refreshingly unexpected titles!

Beautiful

Look man I'm just glad that of all things you included A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Every now and then I come back to this video when I need 10 minutes of peace and joy in my day. Thank you for making it.

I watch this every few months just to appreciate the dedication it took to create this. I try to watch a few more of the movies before watching it again so that I can have new connections/sentiments to the clips shown. I cried the hardest watching it this time, it’s been a difficult 3 years, but I also never thought I’d be this happy. Belated Happy New Year’s Breadsword, hope to see more of you soon

wow what amazing editing! one day I hope to be able to edit like that

I know this is one of your less popular videos, but I come back to it every year. It’s a new year’s tradition for me and my partner. Thank you for giving us that.

I have stared at this video for months, loving everyone of your other videos, and waiting for lupin's video to come out. I finally click it and everything about it moves me. One of the greatest videos on the platform.

Why is nobody talking about the impeccable choice of "Cloud Atlas End Title" as the soundtrack of this phenomenal video?? And i really appreciated the changes between the scenes happening on the beat.

Mr. Sword, I honestly believe this is the best video you have ever made. I am not trying to take away however many hours you spend on each and every video, and I am not trying to take away the amount of passion you clearly use on every upload. I simply believe that this video will stand the test of time as a testament to the true human spirit like no other video on this site will. good on ya for that one bud.

That is a ton of movies! How did you ever come up with them all? I am now subscribing in 2022.

that could atlas sextet tho.. evocative of a half-finished book or moreover like a half-finished love affair

This evoked the same emotions as watching the movie UP
This feels like a love letter to an extremely underappreciated form of art, an extremely underappreciated piece of human nature and I almost cried again

What a brilliant, unusual and beautiful piece of work. I especially love the music accompanying it - it swoops and swirls and pulls your heart along in a way I have no words to describe. All I can say is thank you and I can't wait to see what else you do!

Wow

This is beautiful and i love it. Thank you for making it.

I come back to this a lot, I think it's my favorite Breadsword video. I always choke up a little, it's so beautiful.

This video makes me smile just as much today as it did 2 years ago. Thanks again.

I’ve gotten into the habit of watching this at the end of each semester since starting my masters degree and it makes me break out of writers block and get a good cry each time. It’s hit harder this time since I just lost my grandmother,but I really needed a cry that wasn’t fueled by my own grief. Thank you truly for making something like this. I needed it today.

this is so peaceful

Using this track was a nice addition. Every time I hear it I tear up a little.

Brought me to tears. Keep it up!

Gave me chills and nearly made me tear up! It was mesmerizing

This video helps me remember to believe in the human spirit. I always come back again. Thank you for this.

Damn i love your content, always tasteful.

Why doesn't this have a billion views

Brought to tears by the way that you express dance through the score, editing, and the intertwining of culture and style over time in this series of throbbing, orchestral movements from shot to shot.

i can't believe i almost skipped this

"There's nothing he can say that will make me cry this time. I'm solid!"
Breadsword then proceeds to make me cry without saying anything.

Thank you bread

This is such a feat of editing and film history. I’m absolutely blown away by this. It’s pretty incredible what you did here. Not only does it make me want to go back and watch so many of these films, which is probably part of your point, but also how varied and uniquely beautiful all the forms of dance that have been captured on film have been, and what a wide range of emotions and feelings they invoke. Your awesome.

The first word that comes to my mind is : MARVELOUS!

I hate you breadsword. I watched your video and got sand in my eyes. This is why you shouldn't fill sandbags while watching breadsword.

Seeing so many of these cuts on three beat triplet subdivisions come from waltzes is incredibly satisfying.

This video brought me to tears and has given me a much needed cathartic release. Thank you.

Okay, that's it. I am officially in love with your channel.

i come back to this video all the time love it a lot

nice

:)

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen.

This video gave me a strong feeling that dancing is very human and very important.
