Great video series. The Russian music at the end highlights the folly and the nightmare of empire and bureaucracy.

@darkbaital - Además, el título de la película "End of the Spear" tiene dos significados en Inglés. Una de ellas es la punta afilada de una lanza. El otro medio de poner fin a la violencia.

@ktawut - I agree, and I’m an American. Attenborough distills concepts so that I think, “Wow! So THAT’S why things are as they are.” He never bores, and I learn more from one of his programs than I do from ten of other people’s programs. Also he is clear about the things we do NOT (yet) know.

Truly amazing critter. "Australia's Got Talent!" And lyrebird fossils date back 15 million years.

It's sad to know it's gone. 8152 W Sunset Blvd on (Sunset & Selma) on the east end of the "Sunset Strip." Torn down in June 1959. Also on Sunset Blvd was Cedars of Lebanon hospital, where I was born. Believe or not, one of the people in the video is my aunt (mother's sister, both of them now dead...

Superb! I grew up in Hollywood at this time. DeVoss was a "mod" fashion boutique popular with actors and musicians on the "Sunset strip.” This video would have been roughly Sep 1966 when the Mamas & Papas were at their peak, the first episode of "Star Trek appeared on TV, "The Doors" recorded the...

I agree with other YouTube viewers. I've heard various remixes of Grainer's score, but they don't retain the original music's sadness and beauty. You, Adrian, got it. Very impressive indeed. I salute you. Wow. Viewer "Templerman1" says, "Please enlarge upon this and do some more." Yes. I myself w...

The woman’s letter says she has, “Fallen in love with an Air Force captain,” which is an added blow for an ordinary Army private. And when this happens, you are totally alone. You get no sympathy from fellow soldiers, who are too busy acting “macho” to care. I wonder if Japanese soldiers went thr...

Yo soy un gabacho que no habla bien español, pero esta canción es tan hermosa que me hace llorar. Tan bella! Qué romántico! Muchas gracias por subirlo.

Y el amor a todos mis amigos en México. No los he visto en meses, y los extraño.

With movies today, directors fill every scene with action, or dialogue, or special effects, because directors know that audiences are impatient, and have short attention spans. However this comes at the expense of cinema art. “Baraka” is pure art. Many scenes in "Baraka" show people simply starin...

I had not heard this group "Rome" before (Jérôme Reuter of Luxembourg). Good music choice for the subject matter. "Der Erscheinungen Flucht." Some of the pics remind me of Detroit and of Camden NJ, two places of eerie silence where I could feel the locals' despair like static electricity in the a...

@morphstorm - The theme at the end (when the credits roll) is "Deborah's Theme," written by Morricone for Sergio Leone's 1984 movie "Once upon A Time in America."

For my response, see my YouTube video titled "Unity - by Ron Lloyd"

Kraftwerk Rules! I haven't heard this in over 25 years. When I used to play it I would get two simultaneous reactions from the same people. [1] "What is that crap your're playing?" [2] "Don't turn it off; it's nice."

Thanks for uploading it!

@Eris1Lobo [2 of 2] However I don't even know the name of that Clannad song, and I've searched throughout YouTube. Maybe I'll have to play the melody on a piano, share the recording, and ask if anyone recognizes it. I say it was a concerto because it has a piano with orchestral accompaniment. I k...

Sinatra must have done about ten different versions of this song over the years, but this version was by far the best. Not only his singing, but the orchestration. Thank you for uploading it.

Recuerdo haber visto esta película en 1971. Yo estaba en una sala (teatro) de cine en Los Ángeles CA. La película fue en Inglés. (Yo aprendí a hablar español muchos años después.) Yo recuerdo que el tipo que tiró pelotas mortales de su zapato. Esto trae a las memorias. Gracias por subirlo. :)

Amazing! I have been in most cities of Belarus, and I spent three months in Vitebsk, but I avoided Gomel because was too close to Chernobyl Ukraine (radiation etc). I never saw anyone in Belarus do anything like this. Thank you for posting this video. (By the way, any foreign man who goes to Bela...

@hunterdougvid - For info on the making of this commercial video in 2005, see the Wikipedia entry titled: "Impossible Dream (advertisement)."

Üdvözlet az USA-ból. Miért magyar nők olyan szép? Van valami a vízben? Bárcsak feleségül közülük.

@SachomSings - Yes this version sounds the most "live" and "realistic," as though I am in a church myself, listening to it. "Oh Happy Day" has been covered countless times, and this version is still my favorite by far. (Although Glenn Campbell did a pretty good rendition.) When I hear it, my prob...

@mrac0515 - Saludos desde los EE.UU.! Yo soy un blanco "gabacho", pero yo vivo cerca de México, y hablo español. Ojala me voy a visitar España próximo año. Esta canción fue probablemente lo mas famoso de Johnny Rodríguez en el USA. Siempre me gustó.

Probably my favorite Andy Williams song. In the video, I love the over 40 different images used, and I appreciate how much effort went into collecting them. I’m working on a video that requires 87 images, only a third of which were available from the Web. The rest I had to create myself. I also l...

At 0:47 the girls first see “Sunset Sam.” The shot of this absurd character, combined with the music chord just then, creates a ghastly “WTF” moment that is brilliant video-making. Sam is so outlandish yet casual that he is hilarious, especially because this is how things in Hollywood really are....

Lawn 'n glws. Nid wyf wedi clywed hyn o'r blaen. Diolch i chi am roi yma.

I saw this movie in 1978, and the music has haunted me ever since -- especially the trumpet part that begins at 1:50. Thirty years of thinking about it, and of assuming that no one else noticed how beautiful it was. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT HERE!

Steve Young wrote this in 1969, but Matthews' 1973 version has always been the best. Certainly superior to the Eagles' 1980 version, which I hate. Radio stations played the Eagles, but ignored Matthews' version. As always, big corporate music monopolies dictate what we can hear -- which is why th...

I think the 1938 play and the 1940 movie were overrated -- and yes, I fully understand what they tried to convey. and how much they meant to Americans during the Depression. By contrast, Copland’s score is a brilliant masterwork that stands by itself. It was nominated for an Oscar, but was poorly...

“C'est la Vie” from this 1977 album got radio airplay, as did ELP’s version of “Fanfare for the Common Man” -- but this song was ignored by the radio stations. I played the vinyl LP to death. I love the section that begins at 3:21. Thanks for uploading this.

Very descriptive. The drum cadence portrays marching slaves, followed by the battle sequence, after which the cadence resumes -- but now staggered, illustrating that the slaves have won a battle with the Roman army, but have been mortally wounded, with each victory only bringing them closer to th...

The background "chorus" is so hypnotic that sometimes I play it for an hour, over and over. One starry night I played it while looking out a window at high-tension electrical towers, imagining that the towers had a weird kind of "awareness" or "intelligence" beyond human grasp as they sang a cosm...

This original studio version is my favorite of all the versions that Neil Diamind and others have done. Thank you very much for posting it. :)

I saw the Blue Max a theatre when it first came out, and it deeply moved me, even though I was only 8 years old. Since then, there have been a few movies that dealt with WW I in the air (e.g. “Von Richthofen and Brown,” 1971, and “Flyboys,” 2006), but nothing has ever come close to the Blue Max, ...

The final scene of this one episode always makes me cry.

Japanese mothers receiving boxes that contain the ashes of their sons.

Several times the video shows dolphins leaping, and then it switches to a different shot with a different subject, and then returns to those same dolphins continuing through the air. Such fabulous video editing creates the impression that the dolphins are acrobats hanging in space. Very nicely do...
