Thanks Steve! Poe was spooky enough, and so was Plath in some of her poems and in the Bell Jar, which is partly autobiographical. Had the good fortune to find a narration of the Poe poem. These kinds of videos are hard to make, that is, a lot creative work goes into the making of them by me, but the general audience JUST DOESN'T GET IT. Same is true with my two Leon and Mathilda videos that are an homage to the Odd Couple and La Cage Au Folles using Leon: The Professional, starring Jean Reno and a young Natalie Portman. Some of my best work has been largely ignored, not that this video is among my best work, but some of the other poem recital with music videos, opera, visual essays of films like The Tenant and Ghost Story, an entire classical symphony, have been very good indeed and took a long time to make. What does this audience want? Rap? Non-stop Taylor Swift? Do any of these people even know what "Retro" (and "Vintage") means?
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 I hear you ! I just finished watching your essay on the Tenant, fantastic! But look at what the current generation of young people pay good money to see live. A guy behind sound and light board twisting knobs! I had an English class in high school in the 70s called cinematics and we were shown movies like the fearless vampire killers, I never sang for my father, Marx brother films. Can’t imagine that happening now.
@@sweetstevie Oh, I remember those days so well. Used to go to the University of Buffalo to watch films like The Tenant, or Ninotchka (1939), or One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Face to Face, the Seventh Seal ... these kids could NEVER appreciate REAL CINEMA, they booed the hell out of Sea Of Trees at Cannes in 2015.
Good and kinda spooky
