Hello Mr. Hahn!

Well firstly, congratulations on such an EPIC job. I am very honestly going to say this: This is the by the far the finest, sharpest and moving video by Linkin Park. So... all my congratulations.

Ok, so as to what I thought of the video and my own personal interpretation of it:

1. I am a media student, and they have taught us some stuff about video editing and effects, so I automatically look into your work. I am not very interested in videography, but watching some of the stuff you've done is great, because it shows how much one can do with one's mind. So again, AWESOME!

2. My interpretation: I thought, rather I felt, that the song is about the Day of Judgement a.k.a. the last day of the planet. To me the smoke and the water are ironic symbols; because one is connected to fire, and the other to life. And the song says: 'Will we burn inside the fires of a Thousand Suns?' It could be taken as a reference to Hell, I suppose... I don't know much about symbolism and theology, but this is what stood out to me. Also, I'd like to point out: In the video for Leave Out All the Rest, towards the end, it shows Chester standing in front of that huge sun full of thousand fires; and then the band joins him there. For some reason, the Catalyst (video) to me seems to me like a vague continuation of that... Somehow even the lyrics go hand in hand: 'When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done' and then 'God Save Us Everyone, Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns, for the sins of our...'

3. The video for the Catalyst is easily my favourite. Not because of the awesome and amazing techniques you've applied or the varied shots... it gives a very clear meaning: Everything will be smoke, water and ashes in the end. And for reasons unknown, the last shot of Chester like that lying in the water gave me goosebumps and a chill. I was really shaken... THIS IS BY FAR YOUR BEST.

Congratulations on such an awesome effort, and I assure you, we love it and look for more from you and the band. Keep rocking and God Bless.

All my love,
Maryam.

It is a superb video in so many ways. Chester singing while he is in the water looks smooth as well as Mike sitting in the back af the car. The smoke and masks add a dramatic feeling. Joe, you are the best video director on this planet! I love it. Today is one of the best days of 2010!

Absolutely spectacular. One of my very favourites to date. The video enhances everything in the song so beautifully that it is almost overwhelming - it really tells a story! I never doubted that you'd come up with something incredible, but somehow you still manage to take me by complete surprise, every time - this is better than I'd ever thought possible! Great, great work, guys.

A little too abstract but then again, I'm not a huge fan of music videos.

Love the way you play with the colors. Made me think that you are making that final moment of your life very joyful even with the though of the end in your mind. Makes you think how one should look forward in their life no matter how the present is. Great direction and thanks to band for a great song.
