Kudos to Udos for the upload. This was an amazingly even-handed biography, and I give special credit to the producers for not dwelling on the circumstances of her death. Having been married to a woman very much like Sylvia for two years, I appreciate that they made a point of highlighting just how difficult women like that can be to live with. Very good show!
As intriguing and entertaining as this film certainly is, it would've been markedly better without all the tedious hot air from Sandra Gilbert, "Critic." I eventually couldn't listen to her anymore. On the other hand, I found Aurelia extremely interesting.
"....I think it was an in bred fear that what she'd love would leave her sometime, and I think it haunted her all her life, not making it known in words"
I love Sylvia so much, I bought her journals and there is nothing more informative about her life and thoughts..than hearing it through her own words. I feel I can relate to her so much, with the feelings of isolation, fear of abandoment and how it can destroy relationships. How I wish I knew her.
I really enjoyed watching this documentary because it gave me more of an insight into Sylvia Plath and her life. She was a wonderfully talented and gifted poet and as a person, I think she would have been a very complex but interesting woman to know. I would have liked to have known her anyway.
The poem Daddy that Sylvia reads in part 6 of 6 of the documentary has quite a bit missing - not quite sure why this is.

I think she was really angry about life when she wrote Daddy.

@joye25 a lot of humor as well in Daddy I think. a perfect mix. a read once that she laughed a lot when reading it for a friend.

@BethanyCharlene I think a lot of women feel as Sylvia did,as they are insecure in their relationships
feel like they could be replaced by someone else
