  • sorry overreacted childishly...which tapes do u have?

  • powerful stuff

  • Also does look uncommonly like him if you search for pics of Louis MacNeice?

  • Ok, I thought it was him because I have some tapes of BBC radio broadcasts of Louis M and they sound just like that but cool to have such a fantastic poet as your grandad!

  • Sorry hon, but I make you wrong, I think I would know my own grandfather's voice. For starters he was of Irish origin and had a slight brogue.. View Meeting point, that's his voice. This is an English actor called Ian something I think. Video footage is interesting though.

  • it's Louis M.reading the poem

  • I don't like the actual reading of it, over egging words that speak for themselves, does it really need an echo?

  • that would have very hard to put some as old as the poem with modern day videos

    very good work

  • Blair, Iraq war, death and oppression. Smaller extent than the others, but same actions.

  • The reference in the poem is about a liar. I think the film is accurate for modern day. The problem I have with the film is that it doesn't really capture each element on the poem, which is indeed complex. But that's the challange!
