Really great.Your method of analysis hit all the essential points,and it is enjoyable.I will continue here to learn from you.I just entred your channel, i hope to also find an analysis of the nose story
Dropping in to say you have fantastic observations about this- and in machine gun fire succession! Great summary and great commentary peppered in!! Subbed. Any other recommendations if I liked the Overcoat?
Thank you, and welcome aboard😀. A novel that I've recently read, and which I found to be strongly suggestive of Gogol's The Overcoat is "The Double" by Dostoevsky. Without spoiling anything, the plot's premise goes like this. Yakov Golyadkin is a low-class state employee who is crushed under his unfulfilling job, and growing self-abhorrence. On a strange snowy evening, Golyadkin inadvertently meets his doppelganger. A man who looks exactly like him, but who's much happier, and much more successful.
This is brilliant ! Excellent, insightful, blazing speed and content, amazing video. //I am in the US. Do you mind me asking, where your wonderful accent comes from?
Thank you very much Hilari for your kind words. I've lived in different English speaking places, and I was particularly enamoured by the way Dundonians and Scousers speak. And I guess I incorporated some of their talking ways into my diction.
You are very good, but you desperately need better production. A cheap lapel mix, an eye ring light, and a better room. The backdrop is also ridiculous. I have watched videos a few years apart - your content is great - your production value is very poor. You need help. Find a friend that is good at this, or just likes this kind of stuff and spend a day working out a recording and production routine. Follow that routine until it's perfect - remake all your videos under a channel - You are very good - don't let cheap production tricks hold you back - that is the easy bit.
@@Leevark The Blue Yeti would work if it was closer to you, in a smaller, less reverberant room - think heavy curtains, carpets, you are sitting down and the mic is sitting on a desk close enough to you. I would find a friend or even pay some local TH-cam to help you out for a few hours. The Blue Yeti is okay if you find a way where it will work well. The Overcoat is one of my favourite shorts btw and you did a fantastic retelling.
@@kennethharte5722 Yeah, having the Blue Yeti at about an arm's length doesn't seem that good an idea. "The Overcoat" is wonderful. At the end, you don't know whether to laugh at Akaki Akakievich's passage in life or to weep at it. (laugh at it, and you'll regret it. Weep at it and you'll regret it) Kierkegaard would have said. And I think it's one of the most penetrative looks into the perception, and the impact of commodities on people's lives from within and from without.
@@Leevark It is such a strange short story with a most unsympathetic lead character - Russia. I look in the trenches in Ukraine and I wonder how many Akaki's are down there, dehumanised, quietly doing as they are told. Above them the Prominent Man, and the District Police Chief sneering at them as they bark impossible commands . Russia a landmass with 150 million people, and no citizens. In future recordings try finding a mid-sized office room with carpets, curtains. Sit in the middle of the room, put the mic on a table and try to have it as close to you mouth as possible without getting in the way. Bring the camera closer to your face. Learn how to frame shots properly so they look good - you have about 3 options - pick one and stick to it. Reduce the thinking and changing as much as possible. Experiment for a few days until you get a routine that works. Levels, Lights, Location, and give 'good face'. Good Luck!
@@kennethharte5722 What you nicely described about how downtrodden the people in the world of the story could be said about the peoples of in all oppressive countries. There are only so many ways to oppress. I'm very keen to incorporate your suggestions in the next vid, cheers.

Youre so good at telling stories man, I appreciate this video.
Thank you. That's class of you.
Great video. Love that backdrop painting.
Thank you. I love the background too. It's pretty Isekai-ish.

I remember reading The Nose a long time ago and loving! It definitely deserves a deep-dive.
incredible video, thank you!
My pleasure, many thanks 🖤

That is heart-warming. Thank you.

That's a golden observation. Thank you. I have zero production skills, and apparently getting a Blue Yeti microphone doesn't solve all the problems.
