Dante's Visionary Ascension to Heaven and His Reunion With Beatrice - The Divine Comedy Part 3

[TechPersonal]

Is there a continuation to this?

[iceninja224]

I like the story of Dante and ET and at 4:33 I was about laugh cuss it remind me of WT on d bike lol

[CharasDub]

Dante must have been on a fuckload of drugs to see this shit... This comes from somebody who grew up in Italy and had to learn every single canto of this... Paraphrasing antique italian is a bitch

@CharasDub

Grazie al tuo cammin di vita :) (no I don't know Italian or Floentin but I have PATTERN RECOGNITION abilities). Awesome comment.

@ 4:35 when they fly across the moon it reminds me of ET on the bike LOL

I literally stumbled on this video at exactly the same time I am currently reading this same part of the book (talk about self arising complex systems)I I have ACCELERATORPLUS 107 videos playing on auto coincidentally.

I first read The Inferno in high school and loved it ever since. I recently made a film based on the poem for a college assignment. It's called "Dante Alighieri's Divine Standup Comedy" and it's on my channel if you're interested in a more humorous version of the Divine Comedy.

@krumovies26= Dante Hicks, from Clerks was named after Dante. The store is like Hell for him.

[krumovies26]

This film is incredible! It looks like a program you'd see on the History Channel. This might be the closest we'll come to seeing an actual film adaptation of the Divine Comedy.

I have to admit though, I heard the E.T. theme in my head at 4:35.

[xxsadiexxannxx]

did you make this video yourself or get it from somewhere else? also would i be able to use it in my college work?

[Jimburge1]

@xxsadiexxannxx Yes you can use it in your college work. In fact, if you like, I can send you a DVD of the whole film. Just let me know your address through my channel. Good luck wit hthe college work. Jim Burge

I thoroughly enjoyed this program. It provided me a good overview before I settle into a close reading of the work. I couldn't find more information about this unjustly unknown film. Jim Burge's IMDb page makes no mention of it (though it was interesting to learn he was an assistant on a Tom Baker DR. WHO back in '76). Does anyone know who played the adult Dante? A great actor with an expressive face.

[Jimburge1]

@GaryPeterson67 @GaryPeterson67 Hi Gary. Glad you enjoyed the film. Spread the word. Dante was played by Edmund Dehn. He would be delighted with your comments. I think Virgil is very good too.

[Jimburge1]

@GaryPeterson67 You are right, I should update my IMDb page. If you would like to know more about Dante have a look my book Dante's Invention

[300warrior300]

this is so awesome. some of the it is so brilliant like the animation at 4:12 and some of it is verging on the hilarious, 7:05 lol

[Jimburge1]

@300warrior300 Thanks. It does actually have more jokes than the Divine Comedy.

[bayreuth79]

Is the music by Hildegaard von Bingen?

[DaddyWalrusguy]

Where's the rest!?!?

[116gaara]

where is the rest of it??

[vishnuvardhana1]

Fantastic! Watching this really touched my soul. A very spiritual video indeed. Thanks for posting.

[rolfab]

any more of this ? part 4?

and what is this from ? looks very old.

The Medieval Mind - The Circles of Light.

[youtooberman9001]

@rolfab 1995 i think, we watched it today im my humanities class and this is what our professor said. Im not 100% on it

[MountAnalogue]

lol

[alchemistra]

But in Paradiso, it is Beatrice (illumined mind) who leads him, not Virgil (earthly mind). The Divine Comedy is replete with numerological symbolism that allows for further understanding of what is presented, the number of cantos, the number of verses, the construction of the spheres, and so on. To me, Dante is occult literature!  hehe (^_^)
