I like the concept... this remember me that idea in which the author looses the text the moment u let it open for other readers, some like the conflict between ¿was it chejov and stanislavsky?
To "MikoVideos": so tell me, how should one interpret poetry? Should it only apply to ppl w. the same background as the author? Should they have the same harsh life as Bishop's? Should it mean as it meant to the author? I Don't think so, good authors like Bishop write for a bigger public, so big that these ppl who made the film are free to interpret it their own way, it doesn't [in any way] imply that they didin't take the poem seriouly.
Way too cutesy for a poem that is only as light as the optimism in Bishop's harsh life could have been. Her lover committed suicide, she lost her parents- her losses were REAL. Meanwhile this girl is giggle and going to Stanford- there's no sense that the reader REALLY takes the poem seriously.
Really great idea, nice execution. Just one complaint: this would totally kill it for someone who is hearing the poem for the first time. But for people who are familiar with it, it's really an amazing way to re-experience the masterpiece.
in every other thing films or whatever might be ok but disrispecting her poetry no/no the guy cutting in between and talking personal garbage is a disrepect.you have a nice voice to read that poem better then alot of people even famous people but we all that drama in between dont think she be happy,dont take me wrong if u wan jusge my spelling but not her poem be nice to hear you with out all other imformation.
Elizabeth Bishop also lost the meaning of her poem with this movie clip, its horrible it does no justice to the poem itself

dude they were acting its an act the fact that they used this poem in their film shows that they like and respect the 'poet'
