Hauntingly beautiful. I loved the film, am a big fan of Daniel Craig, and more recently Richard Armitage....so your combo of the two is fab. Think your ending is even better than the actual film's! Much more poignant the words trailing off to a deathly silence....
Why does he does he compare Sylvia with Emily Dickinson? Just because they both happen to be poets and both women? Why not rank her with all poets, not just female ones. I don't want to go off on an anti-Ted Hughes tirade but really there were some things about this guy that were less than likable.
I had heard Richard Armitage read these letters before but when you combine them with the video images from the film - it became alive. Richard's voice is always amazing and the feelings he brings across are so raw and real. How heart breaking for both of them! Thank you for making this and sharing it with us!
Well done you on combining this film and audio into a compelling video! I am a long-time fan of Richard Armitage's talent and you have shown one more example of the depth of it. He brings Ted Hughes right to us explaining his feelings and regrets with poignant emotion. You chose wonderful clips. thank you for sharing it with us.
Just...wow! If it's anyone who can read a letter like this and make it justice - it's Richard Armitage. His talent and magnificent voice is truly mesmerizeing. I'll never grow tired of listening to him. Just...thanks!
Yes, indeed. Wow. I've always rather despised Ted Hughes, though I guess I had no real right to. I only knew th at he'd broken Sylvia's heart. I've wanted to see the movie for a long time. Who knows? I think hearing the letter made me more sympathetic toward him. I like Daniel Craig, but now I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't RA playing him.
I am a bit as well. RA even looks more like Ted Hughes did - handsomer, but still with the long, angular face and dark hair, he bears more of a resemblance, I think. And, as we hear, he can do the accent. :)
It's pathetic, I know, but I just saw the film a couple of weeks ago now and all I could do was imagine Richard Armitage in the part. It was very unfair to Daniel Craig, but I do think Richard would have been a bit more realistic and a bit more sympathetic at the same time. We know that he can make his viewers empathize with characters even if they ARE baddies--otherwise there wouldn't be so many of us who wanted Guy to win once in a while! :)
Such a tragic story but so beautifuly read by Richard!

My favourite part is: 3:54 - "I didn't know how to start this letter—and now I don't know how to end it."
