  • I loved the ending. It was so perfect, and different, unlike most fantasy books where they live happily ever after. the end. This was a perfect breath of fresh air after stifling goody endings. I cried, but I loved it.

  • I hate Libba Bray , because she has overcoloured the last part of Gemma's fate. Why she has killed Kartik? ;/ This was so terrible ;x I can't stop crying... ;(

  • I love, love, love it!!!! <3

  • This is awesome! I made a GATB video too, but this is way better than mine haha.. great clips!

  • i think this is the best gemma i seen so far and kartik is super sexii but he isnt as dark as she mentions in the book. I love these books so much i just recently finished reading the sweet far thing and i still go back and read parts of it because of how much i love it i was disappointed about the ending tho=( is there a chance the author will make a fourth book?

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just read the spoiler and nearly fainted Omg

  • i hae not finished the last book so i do not know what is to happen to gemma and kartik im hoping they end up happy together!

  • what movie are the clips from? the actual a great and terrible beauty? i haven't seen it.

  • After I saw this I had to go get Our Mutual Friend, It's so great, and the clips remind me so much of GTB its incredible!!!

    Great vid!!

  • I know! They need to make a movie so people will forget about Twilight and obsess over something that's actually good! Oh man, the way they describe Kartik is so effffffing sexy! What movie did you get these video clips from? It looks very interesting. Please let us know :)

  • absolutely perfect.

  • waht song is this brcausei literally llove it!

  • who is that guy in real life

    :O

    yum

  • i hope someone else decides to pick up the movie idea, cause the books we're really great!

  • I loved this! I love the books! Are they really going to make this into a movie????? if they do I am SO going to see it!!!!! amazing books and great video!

  • sorry, nope. check out libba bray's (the author) blog. she mentions how it was supposed to become a movie but it took too long so the project was cancelled, at least for that director. the possibility of the project could be bought again and it may become into the movie.

  • Ah man I hoped it was just a rumor or something! Well i pray that maybe just maybe they might find a better director than because these would make amazing movies!!

  • I have no idea what you're talking about but this is good...very good. The dude looks indian to me..plus the song is really cool

  • OMG!!!!! I LOVE KARTIK

  • LOVE KARTIK!!

  • Actually, they're not makingg a movie anymore.

    Libba Bray said that the film production company that was signed on for making this movie, relinquished the rights of the film, so the film is not happening.

    Sad, cuz I was looking forward to it too...

  • i love how u used the modern rock and roll music. As opposed to classical period music. It made it very Mary Antoinette if u know wat i mean.

  • does anyone know

    1) wether they are ACTUALLY making this movie

    and

    2) if so, when is it comming out???

    i wanna c it sooo bad!!! loved the books

    xoxox - A

  • they cut the movie. =/

  • REALLY!!!???!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    that sucks!!

  • no they didnt, there's a new sight and they said it's coming in 2010

  • yes it's coming out next year, I'M SO HAPPY

  • SOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!

  • I love the Our Mutual Friend clips. xD But I have issues mustering up sympathy for Kartik in those scenes. *loves John/Bella*

  • nice vid!!!!!! love the realism

    ... this might be off topic but my first name is kartik as well

  • awesome vid! and btw, what is kartik's last name??

  • She never mentions it...

  • Who is that actress?

  • I think  it`s Justine Waddel.

  • No, its Anna Friel.

  • thanks spoiler alert. fuck.

  • I'm really sorry iLoveSolanos. I have CONSISTENTLY asked people to please REFRAIN from mentioning spoilers on here - its in the description for crying out load - but people either A) don't read or B) are too inconsiderate to care. I used to try to remove all spoiler posts but there is a new one everyday and I just can't keep up with them. Maybe you shouldnt watch any more of my videos until your done reading bc I don't remember what other pp have posted and i wouldnt want this to happen again.

  • its okay - what can you do, you know. i'll get over it lol. definitely not trying anymore videos until i finish the series though.

  • Oh God! What part of "no spoilers" don't you get?

  • lol he is hotter than the one thats going to be in themovie

    all they have to do is a spray tan lol

    ta-da! indian xD

    i luv those books and great vid xD

  • A really good Gemma!

    She's tall and everything!

    She could be alittle thicker, I think, but who's complaining.

    Good Job!

  • that was PERFECT

  • Wow, that was pretty good - I love these books and this was a great video representation of the last one =]

  • wat movie did u use?

  • omg i love your video!! where are those clips from??.. it looks interesting and the music is great also!! jod good

  • I thnk luke pasqualino should be kartik :) even tho he's not indian he looks it!

  • i love this video so much!!!!!! it is really sweet! you did an amazing job( no matter what anyone says about kartik not being india) ever since i have watched this video, i have been obsessed with this song! it fit perfectly with the video i thought.

  • OMG great!!!!

    does anyone know this song???? it sounds like 3 days grace.... but PLEEASE tell me the song!!!

  • Haha... good guess! It's in the video information: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace.

  • well the guys ok, but not not as hot as he should have been, but its was pretty good, and me 2, i didnt like how TSFT ended, it was sad, and depresing, and i wonder wat would have happend if kartik wouldnt have died at the end :/

  • i'm so glad you used clips from stage beauty! i love that movie!

  • Comment removed

  • i love this video it so cool and sweet

  • Yeah he's hot..... but he's just no where near as hot as Kartik, and besides, Corbin Bleu's black not Indian

  • Um. NO. No disney stars, please. He isn't that talented anyways.

  • I so agree with you. At least have someone tolerable to play one of my favorite characters from the book.

  • NAAH, he defs should not, ew.

  • I totally agree with alexia. :)

  • BUHA, at least someone does. I thought someone was gonna bust me on that. (:

  • Wow this is a great video :DDDDDD

    Lavss it

  • is that something like erm...what where they called? a yes,skillet?

  • aaaaa 3dyas grace...kinda sounds similar..nice song :D movie seems nice to watch hope to find it

  • out of all of the gemma and kartik videos I've seen, I'll have to say that this one is the best. It doesn't give away too many spoilers, if that, and the song fits it perfectly, if you have read the series. Bravo =)

  • i love this video it so cool and sweet

  • AllesandraAsuka, you put it into words so perfectly and also on another note i hate it when people say that kartik is dead cause he is sorta alive in the tree

  • I wasn't that sad when Kartik died- I was more sad because the series ended. I wish there was another book so we could find out what happened to Gemma and her friends afterwards.

  • whats the name of the song in this video??

  • kartik is indian.... i couldn't believe the ending.... i couldn't believe the thing going on between Fee and Pippa. it was crazy. and it was so sad when kartik died!!

  • "kartik is indian" - The first sentance of the video information pretty much covers it. And the paragraph long explanation elaborates on it - I'm tired of having to explain the same thing over and over again.

  • the movie is supposed to come out sometime in 2010

  • I AM REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT!

  • oh i cried for literally WEEKS after finishng the book. :( not because he died, but because now she was alone again. she'd JUST found the one she loved, admitted it, and was loved back, and then he was taken away from her. i don't want her to find someone else haha he's still technically alive in that tree. *sigh*-.- so sad.

  • i absolutely agree! D: he's still alive and he must come back! Libba Bray must write a fourth book or i shall DIE! and then in that one, she'll go back to the realms and then free Kartik.. lol.

  • Oh yes! I feel so empty now that I've finished the third book with no expectation for another thrilling novel! I adore this series and I too shall die if she does not write a fourth book. I love Kartik! I love the passion and the forbidden air that Gemma and Kartik's love holds. I cried for like half an hour when I finished the book. Lol. I swear I'm a hopeless romantic. Do you think that if Libba Bray got enough requests she might write another one? Oh and awesome video!

  • i am a hopless romantic too i actually cried when he left i reel angels!

  • I think so too! it was so sad when kartik "died" and i almost cried... I wrote the third book again and today i finished it and i was sad again even if i knew how it will end :D

    i wanna have another one too, that would be great.

    i want to know what happens with gemma, felicity, ann etc.

    This vid is really great, love it ♥

    (sorry for my bad english, i'm from germany ;))

  • i did cry when Kartik died....he was my fav

    person in the books

  • yes kartik was great ♥

    but i think, in the third book, he is nicer because he doesn't say that he has to leave gemma and so on.. do you think that there'll be a movie?

  • ya i think in 2010 or somethin....

  • you mean, there'll be another book?!

  • no i meant a movie lol

  • :D ah okay.. yes i hope :)

  • that's funny, but i agree!!!!!!!

  • that happened to me too! i cried SO hard at the part AFTER he died for all the same reasons as you. i am glad she won't write and epilogue or another book that says something like she moved on. i just want her to be with kartik forever. i am such a romantic book sap! LOL

  • @AlessandraAsuka

    i know i know but i like to think that they did eventually find each other in death and i like to think that BY NOW (in 2010) that she would've already died and found him!

  • @AlessandraAsuka dont wry i cried too

    :[

    <3

  • @AlessandraAsuka thanks for the spoiler. :/

  • So when does this movie actually come out, i'm so excited

  • oo good gemma choice!! if she is casted with a good kartik i will totally go see the movie!!!

  • Lol Kartik is like 38 in this video.Uh and Gemma dosen't have redish hair in this video.But is there really gonna be movie????!!! cuz if there is they better not mess it up or I will be very very mad!

  • whhhhhhhhhyyyy?

    why must he die?!

  • I LOVE the video, even if Kartik isn't indian ;]

    and I love the ending of the third book, it's the whole reason this series is my favorite over Twilight and Harry Potter. The ending of your video is definetly a dream sequence to me, after Gemma left for America, but everything is beautifully put together.

    =]

  • anna friel would be absolutely perfect if her hair was redder. great video!

  • so which two movies did u use ? our mutual friend and...?btw i like this

  • I'm so sad. Your version was very good. I loved the book but I hate how Gemma and Kartik were not together in the end. I cried my but off. *sniff*

  • You were not the only one. I cried so hard. I am glad though that they did have all the times together and wonderful memories.

  • is there seriously going to be a movie??!!

  • There will be a movie of this magnificent book? are without trailers or just more? Please contestadme! I need to know

  • 2010! i cant wait

  • Yees !! Thanks for the information!! :)

    Did you read the three books??

  • sure.

    and of corse! haha i've read them over and over and over again. have you?

  • i know right!! I've been waiting for this forever D:

  • I cant wait till the AGATB movie comes out! Its going to be amazing! xD

  • this is a great video! put together perfectly! its great how you can link so many clips to the book! nice job =]

    i cant wait until the movie!!!!!!

  • on like 1:44 i think shes a PERFECT Gemma

  • This is really really good! I still liked your Kartik, even though he wasn't really really good looking, he wasn't really really ugly either :)

    & I ADORE your choice for Gemma!

  • Hes hot and shes,....kind of pretty. I lov the clothes

  • I think ben barnes would be a good kartik! Well not really... He's hot though! lol. I think steven strait would be a great kartik.

  • the best

  • Good, really good.. and I can read and i did and I definitly agree w/ you!! Kartik needs to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay hotter!!!! He's almost ugly.. no offense.

  • i cryed for three days after i finished the sweet far thing because kartik became part of the tree, but is it official that there is going to be a movie?

  • this video was simple the best out of them for this series. and this series was ( to me ) better than anything twilight. i loved it and excellent choice of music, i am a huge three days grace fan !

    p.s i loved the kiss with kartik and gemma. very passionate.

  • i agree, cant wait till the actually movie!

  • Love it!!!!

  • it's was so sad when he became part of the tree... i was like NO SHE HAS TO STAY WITH HIMMMMM

  • If we were allowed to rate, I still wouldn't eb able to; I want to give this video, and all of your other ones, a rating of 100!!!I just can't believe how good you made them! I love the songs, and I just lovelovelove everything! :D Great job!!<3

  • oh gosh

    this is INCREDIBLE

    you my dear friend are most amazing!

    :D

  • Wow, this is incredible! Especially since we have virtually no authentic clips, so I'm really impressed with how realistic it all seems. Great job :D

  • i didnt like the cast but who cares!! your video was the coolest video i've seen for the series. i loved the music too. it made it kinda rock and rollish, like Marie Antoinette with kirsten dunst. and i love the ending. its alot better than the original ending in the book. THUMBS UP!!! :D

  • i didnt like the music much though, sorry. i think the lady in um...lagan is really pretty and makes agood gemma but shes kinda too old...in some parts of the video, the kartik actor looks like ben barnes! but it was awesome, but instead of the music, i would have put some piano classical or some violin syphony or something.

  • It's supposed to be from Kartik's point of view. Therefore it was perfect for my objective, a strong, hard-edged masculine song with lyrics that allude to the plot instead of the same weepy songs that everyone uses. Each of my videos strives to be different and unique in its own way - different types of music, actors, and period films. Three Days Grace is one of my favorite bands. I love this song and aside from my Felicity one, it's the best video I've done. Because its different.

  • However, everyone's tastes are different so I try to encompass that. My videos on here and my Gemini12590 account cover a variety of music, from Three Days Grace, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Seether, Immediate Music, Tatu, The Click Five and Spring Awakening.

  • wow that was a long memo, and im glad u wrote it. dude, i watched that Laagaan (sp?) movie, because my indian friend made me watch it with NO subtitles. i dont know how i survived....but it was pretty good. i LOVED ur video, okay? it was awesome. there is nothing more to say.

  • i read ur info and i won't say anything mean like that

    i really liked ur video it was really well made i think and i also liked the song...i don't really see anna friel as gemma but i think that is only cuz i already got so used to all those other videos where rachel hood wood is gemma so yeah but she is really pretty and i for one would love love it if billy crudup would be katrick cuz i think he is so cute but of course that is my opinion....well i'll stop now and kudos =]

  • Yes, I know what you mean.

    RHW gets a bit overused and she's much younger so it takes a little while to adjust to the idea of Anna as Gemma, since she looks so different than what you're used to. But thats what makes it fun!

    I think Billy Crudup is *ahem* fricken gorgeous! *ahem* but of course I am expecting Kartik to be Indian as he should be. I only get frustrated (all cap first sentence) when people seem to think that I don't know K is Indian or am in favor of a white boy playing him.

  • are they seriously making a movie about this book series??? i luved the books i read them all.,..the girl who playes gemma really looks like i would have imagined..GREAT JOB!!

  • (I read your desc., don't worry, I won't be one of those idiotic, rude people! [:)

    So, I may not see this guy (is it the son from "Big Fish?"...hmm...) as Kartik at all, but I'm starting to see this girl (sorry, don't know the names! =/) as Gemma, and the video was really well-made! And I love the song, too. Great job :)

  • This is probably one of my favorites out of all the videos I've made. I've never seen Big Fish but the guy's name is Billy Crudup not to be confused with Prince Caspian's Ben Barnes. The girl's name is Anna Friel and I first discovered her several months ago when watching Our Mutual Friend. She is EXACTLY as I envision Gemma-perfect for the role if she was a bit younger. It was an ambitious undertaking combining two completely different genre films but I'm glad the end result is convincing.

  • Oh, Big Fish is amazing, and that's him alright :) I KNEW I recognized her! She's from Pushing Daisies. Now I'm disappointed because just as soon as I started realizing how perfect she is for Gemma I also realized she's much too old to play her now :( I haven't seen your other videos to compare this one to but I think I'll go watch them! :)

  • yes it is the son from big fish=]

  • i kno i hated th ending of the book too!! i cried it was soo sad!! o well great video and i luved the song!! and i luv the series!!

  • finished the sweet far thing a while ago and have to say i'm disappointed. a great and terrible beauty started out so strong and with each book, it got worse in my opinion.

  • what is this song called?`

  • look at the video description

  • The song is called "Time of Dying" by Three Day's Grace. The CD album with that song is called One-X.

  • ...secrecy and depression and something weighing her spirit down. Anna Maxwell Martin as Esther made her character a human person, alive and breathing, instead of (as might be with a wrong actress) making Esther seem like a paragon of Victorian virtues. Bravo, Andrew Davies!

    Now I'm watching Middlemarch, but I fell asleep on the first ten minutes because I had just returned from Europe (time zone change). I'll watch it soon.

  • I agree...there was a type of chemistry between Gwendolen and Daniel. Daniel only married Mirah after discoering his heritage, and it seemed like it was...forced, in a way. I liked Bella--a good girl originally, but because of her poorness, she "wants money, dreadfully." Her greed is understandable, and yet she was a bit spoiled.

    Bleak House with Gillan Anderson and Anna Maxwell Martin was fantastic. Gillan Anderson manages to convey a sense of...

  • Anna Karenina...that's a sad story, especially when she commits suicide, or when everything seems to go wrong. Poor everyone... Tolstoy's a good writer.

    Northanger Abbey (the old one), I felt it was a bit too melodramatic, while the new one was pretty good, and it's clearer on what happened to Catherine and Co. I have no idea what Wives and Daughters is about, but I'll read it! (Yes, I'm an English (or any type) literature fan, and I'm proud of it!)

  • I can't comment on many of the books since I haven't read all of them (except NA which wasn't one of Austen's best works but it was one of her first, and its more of a light-hearted read). But I thought DD was a beautiful miniseries - I've watched it several times and I rather wish he had ended up with Gwen. Mirah was alright but I thought she and Daniel had more of a brother-sister type relationship and when they ended up together it seemed cliched - like he felt obliged to be with her upon

  • ...discovering his paternity. Too ironic for my liking but at least poor Gwendolen ends up freed from that miserable Grandcourt. Anna Friel's character (Bella) was my favorite in OMF and if she were a bit younger she would honestly be EXACTLY as I envision Gemma, which was a nice suprise for me. As for Wives and Daughters its a sweet story about Molly Gibson, a country doctor's daughter who falls in love with a neighborhood squire and what happens when her father remarries and a stepsister

  • ... comes into the picture. Regarding AK - God what a depressing stroy! Almost as pitiful as the ironically named "House of Mirth" with Gillian Anderson, although at least the acting in AK with solid. I'm no critic but the acting in HoM was pretty horrendous which only seemed to exaccerbate the pain of a rather miserable plot.

  • I saw Daniel Deronda, and the acting was pretty good, although I felt Mirah and Daniel were a bit flat. I mean, I cared for Gwendolen just because they gave the most insight into her character. Our Mutual Friend...I love the scene where Mr. Boffin is screaming, "Quack says the duck! Meow says the cat! Bow-wow says the dog!" and everone's looking at him weirdly. I saw Northanger Abbey as well, but I'm sorry to say I haven't seen Wives and Daughters and Anna Karenina (which I've read, not seen).

  • To clarify things, Billy Crudup isn't Prince Caspian. I checked. I saw Prince Caspian, and although they look pretty darn similar, they aren't. Ben Barnes plays Prince Caspian.

    Oh, and do watch Our Mutual Friend! It's a good story, and Gemini12590, you are right about her looking like Gemma. Have you seen Our Mutual Friend? Okay, I'll stop rambling.

  • Damn...he's pretty fine! Even with longer hair (which I usually don't like on guys).

    Yes, I make it a habit of seeing all the films that I use in my videos in order to be able to truly promote them in their original context. I can recommend Daniel Deronda, Our Mutual Friend, Wives and Daughters, Northanger Abbey and Anna Karenina as lesser known films and miniseries that not everyone has heard of but I think deserve a viewing for their own merit.

  • which movie is this from??

    Is that the dude who plays prince capsian?

    -s-

  • They are two different pieces - a miniseries and a film. The film that the guy is in is Stage Beauty. I've never seen Prince Caspian (or whatever the movie title is) so I couldn't tell you. His name is Billy Crudup though, if that helps...

  • I Find KArtik Is graet but he deads

  • lol I hate it when that happens! it did suck though. lots.

  • i dont like the Kartik =(

  • 82 people including myself would disagree with you.

    You stated your opinion.

    I stated mine.

    No he's not Indian. But a million times better looking than Ben Whishaw who everyone seems to use.

  • im not disasgreeing i think he's cute but i thought they'd have an indian actor

  • Since this is a fan video and not the real thing, its a moot point.

  • hey this is amazing!!! u did a really good job on it!

  • Well thank you very much! It's nice to see that some people can use their imagination and enjoy it. :)

  • u welcome! =)

  • good job but i would have picked someone else for kartik...this guy isnt indian looking enough!

  • There's an entire paragraph mentioning that in my video information - if you just bothered to read it.

  • It's extremely hard to find an Indian male who interacts with a redheaded female. I think this is a fantastic video.

  • I totally get the whole Rakshana thing in the begining! I was also kinda disapointed at the end too! but it was a really good twist! i loved that vid

  • is there more than one a great and terrible beauty movie was it ever in theatres?

  • No... there's not even a movie out yet. Please read my video information.

  • lol thanks so much for that warning in your info right away cause i haven't read it just yet and i wouldn't want it to be ruined.. i'll save this though for when i'm done :)

  • That makes me cry so much

    how sad is the ending to the series. poor Gemma

  • I actually agree with you on basically every point i like how you set ur video and i liked ur characters. I also agree with u on the ending of The Sweet Far Thing

  • I LOVE this you did a really awesome job making it!

  • amazing video i loved it keep up the good work

  • Oh! I love Stage Beauty!

  • I don't really like the actors you chose but the way you put the clips together portrayed the characters very well, I think.  =)

  • Ironically, I think that Anna Friel (red-head) is a beautiful woman and if she were MUCH younger at this time, she would look exactly like I envisioned Gemma, more accurate to the cover corset model on the cover of AGATB and much more authentic than RHW (who I notice has become a bit overused since I made my first Gemma video). People who use Perfume tend to use Ben Whishaw as Kartik and while neither of the men are Indian, I personally find Billy Crudup so much more attractive.

  • Let me start out by saying that you have one amazing video. Though i was wondering what movie(s) that the footage in your video came from. I tried looking through the comments to figure it out but after i read all 93 of them i just couldn't come to a conclution. your interpretation of the charicters was very close to my own, you did an amazing job. Keep up the good work :)

  • I mean the video information (the little tab that says More Info below the added date on the top right-hand side). The comments are just people's responses and questions. My info's not usually the size of a thesis, but in this instance I needed to reinforce the spoiler warnings and ward off complaints about Kartik not being Indian or not being hot enough.

    FILMS USED: Our Mutual Friend (1998), Stage Beauty (2004) and the beautiful end shot was taken from Lagaan, Once Upon A Time In India

  • Ooh, yay, Our Mutual Friend! I love that BBC adaptation!

  • im from spain and i have read all the books in english beacuse here libba bray isnt famous but now i cant find neither the last book nor the whole films can someone tell me where can i find them??please!!

    a desperate spanish girl!!

  • Yo tuve que comprar el libro por el internet. No hay una película todavía.

    :] There's my attempt to respond in Spanish. Haha, do you just call it "internet"?

  • yes ; it is "internet" but your attempt is really good!!!

  • Lol.... this is MissDoyle17 (on her other account ;) ). Don't worry, I got them all - my computer does the same thing too sometimes and it gets me really frustrated. Thanks for all the positive comments! Don't worry, I knew that negative one wasn't for me. (Sorry if I sound like a *itch in my video info - I don't mean to lecture people but its just a really big pet peeve of mine when people point out obvious things that I've already explained. As if I didn't read the books *rolls eyes*)

  • ahhhh! why is this happening!!!!

    the comment i just posted was supposed to be replying to my 'idiot' comment.

    sorry for so many posts.

    and if i sound like an insane weirdo.

    and all the rambling.

    i'm gonna stop now.

    kay thanks.
