    Dear MonroeSmile, I'm 52 yo and I've been a huge Garbo's admirer since my adolescence (incidentally,I was born on 18 September, like her). I've just come across your tribute and I've found it az mesmerising and uncunny as her face. I congratulate you on you exquisite choices.

    The music, the tone, and the still mythical Garbo. This is beautiful. I often wonder what her elusive, raw, unrivalled beauty would have done to today's cinema.

    One of the true goddesses of the 7th art, she was strong and vulnerable at the same time, so divine and yet so human... I love her.
    Such a heartfelt tribute, Claudia (great choice of music too, it really captures that tragic sense of life that Garbo could express with just one look).

    Thank you MonroeSmile for the e-mail pertaining to this priceless video compilation. I know in our busy lives that we sometimes forget to thank others for being kind, and sharing with us. Hopefully that isn't the case in my personality. I thank you very much, and will always look forward to timeless classics such as this. God bless you, and others that took the time to read my post!

    It is not easy to make a video for these great personalities of cinema! Greta Garbo is a true icon! Loved by men and women, had nothing to envy of other women. But her life was characterized by sadness and melancholy! I think it was rarely happy and in his moments of happiness, she have lived it fully. You have captured the essence and feelings of Greta Garbo with this video! See it carefully, to understand the beauty and majesty of this remarkable woman! Great music and editing!! Excellent!

    This is one of the best tributes I have seen. You really portray Garbo in the way we all know her: the untouchable goddess with The Face. Because if anybody had or will ever have a face, it was Garbo, no doubt... Great video!!

  • @gatabella3
    @gatabella3 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This tribute appeared precisely when I'm in the mood for Greta! Her beauty never ceases to amaze me, everytime I see her I can't believe that such beauty existed. I adore this video, Claudia! So many Garbo's close-ups, a pure delight, and in the end one of my favourite pictures! Thank you!

  • @greateststarbyfar

    to the video maker:-) ; hi my name is tony i lived across the street at river house where greta lived on 52nd street. she lived across the street from me. in 1975 when i was 11 years old i use to play across the street and i use to see her all the time. my dad told me she was a famous actress all long time ago. sometimes she would stop and ask what i was playing. she always was very sweet to me. i remember now she was still a beautiful woman. then she must have been 70. she seemed mysterious.

  • @dubbelhenke854

    I Watch this again with amazement - it's so incredibly well done. With the selection of the music and the obviously carefully edited sequences of wonderful scenes that are so RIGHT in their succession of each other. And in almost a sort of mysterious way, we understand why she truly was called the divine. As the character Lewis Stone once remarked: "She was Greta Garbo and that said it all. She stood alone. There were none like her." There are many videos like this on TH-cam - but this one also "stands alone".

    Finally a video! It was love at first sight for me (and also for Friedrich March) when seeing Garbo's reflection in the mirror on the train then coming out of it in "Anna Karenina". She drove me to tears in Camille!!!! You have amazing editing and musical talents, don't ever let go of them!!! Tons of love, Stephanie. xoxo

    YOU MUST ME PSYCHIC! We were just playing the Enchanted Boy song this very afternoon. This was a class-act, so instinctive and emotive. She just had a GREAT face & spirit that needed no frills/makeup. I love her famous "privacy" too. Apparently the last scene of Queen Christina, she didn't know how to play it, and the director said "Just think of breakfast" - you prob know that bit of trivia but I love that! She was so luminous and fascinating, watching her think of breakfast is classic cinema

    From the few I have seen - I really need to brush up on my silent era - Flesh and the Devil with Garbo and Gilbert is brilliant, Camille with Alla Nazimova and Rudolph Valentino. The most touching silent I ever saw was Broken Blossoms with Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess - it was beautiful and very moving.

    When watching her is seem like movies were invented just to capture her, and that everything that has ever been filmed since has been an attempt to recapture or rediscover that magic, without ever achieving it
    I know thats a big statement, and I WORSHIP a handful of others, but as Kate Hepburn herself said, Garbo had something that nobody else has ever had

    In 2009, actress Luise Rainer, almost 100 years old, spoke about Greta Garbo: "She was so beautiful ..."
    Did you meet Garbo? '' Not very intimately, but yes. I always thought that after Nefertiti she was the most beautiful creature in the world. "

There is something hidden there... something tragic and beautiful at the same time.. she is the most magnetic of actresses. Thank you for the artistic assembly and soundtrack...Maybe you should start a new channel called Garbo Eyes! The way you do these tribute is its own art form.
