Wow.I never really got this poem,but now I do.Thanks Matthew McFayden!Lol,this was really a well-put-together video!
And is the person he's being passive-agressive to listening to Tatu?Lol!(Although now I have to think about what that song might mean in this context.Brilliant,very clever use of a pop song,I love it!)
Every time I read this poem or hear it spoken I always smile. It's like the cutest hate-poem, I can just imagine him, sat there writing it with contempt, as if to say 'I know I'm supposed to love you but I'm eating your plums, bitch. Piss off.'
He was just reading a poem about plums, for goodness sake. Yet, after hearing his voice, I was left with a sheepish grin like I'd done something wonderfully naughty.
"Swoon, swoon, swoon"; we all know his seductive delicious voice can make us do just about anything "swoon". Search this & "swoon" in heavenly bliss as he describes ice cream!
Oh, find the BBC 14 Episodes series "Little Dorrit" 2009; MM is the leading man & "swoon" to death!:)

This is no bloody good. Never get an actor to read a poem; they don't realise that reading is not the same as acting. Just read the bugger! Let the words speak for themselves; don't make it a big performance. Ian McKellen reading Kipling's "If" on telly was crap too.
OMG! I could listen to him read this poem all day! After listening to him recite this poem, I went to the store to buy more plums. I always liked plums very much but now they hold new meaning..."so sweet and so cold..." What an amazing voice he has!!!
he eats them because he's thinking of her and they look and taste good. He writes the note to provoke her into a reaction, something those in love will do. Talking about the look and taste of plums, especially if she confronts him when he's back, is evocatively erotic. He will think of her and the plums all day, excited by the thought her reacting to his provocation. Perhaps he will bring plums home and they will eat them together, exchanging knowing looks and provoking comments.
If my husband or signifiacnt other or roommate eft that note for me after eating my plums I'd smack em the next time i saw them. LOL. It is such a smart ass poem. grrrr
although when Matthew says it... well he can do whatever he wants, lol.
I totally agree with hilaryrules91.........his voice it`s like wow!.....jajaja, ........"he needs to read more poems".....cause I want to hear them all
It's a kind of implicit declaration of love. There are different ways to say it, and this is one of them. If he weren't in love he wouldn't do it, but as he was he (the poem character, maybe Matthew as well) misses no chance to express it . And it doesn't matter whether it deals with plumps, ice box or dustbin, the main is :so sweet. And intonation. Can you say to the man you are in love with "you are a marvelous monster!"?
This is the only video I've seen on Youtube that makes me wish it were possible to rate 10 stars instead of 5. He's so masculine and near perfect as he is; him reciting poetry somehow makes him all-the-more wonderful.
YEAH..just What you said sukebexx!MacFayden is SO masculine and SO near perfect that you just sit in front of the computer and cry cuz YOU CAN'T Tackle him and say "NOW READ THIS" for me. PLEASE... AND Give the entire set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Wouldn't you love to sit at his feet..or just somewhere abouts. LOL. YUMMERAMA.
Entire set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica!? Well yeah, true.. It wouldn't matter what he was reading as long as it takes a good while to recite it! ;) Actually the scene in Wuthering Heights where he reads a book out loud is my favorite.. I just love the way he speaks.. Among other things.. :)
He's Hareton in David Skynner's version of Wuthering Heights 1998... I've uploaded the best Hareton bits of the movie here on youtube actually.. So if you'd like to check them out, feel free to do so.. ;)
