Lewis on War and Humanity

John-Michael reads from C.S. Lewis speaking about human nature during times of war.

Yeah so I have a strange thing for historical speeches, and I like to shoot stock footage and time lapse footage when I am not working on normal movies... Put the two together and you get stuff like this!

It's a mixture of trying to inspire, trying to entertain and just being bored at 3AM after working.

Very good video. Lewis is my favorite author. Understanding and wisdom are rare commodities even in this age of information.

Thanks for the encouragement. Cheers mate.

p.s.I think this quote from Lewis suits you well:

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

So many intellects in this world who spout useless pharses. This is true widom. Great video!

haha, I was in suspense as I was reading your reply, wondering if you were gonna come to the conclusion that I was spouting a useless phrase!! Glad you enjoyed it.

What is your favorite C.S. Lewis book?

I don't think I can answer that, but probably the problem with pain.

Well said. Well done. Life life while you have life to live!

Thank you for what you said "...you figure out a way to turn [whatever plagues you] into your horse..."

SO true. I think it's so far the greatest lesson I learnt this year

I wish that those people who have nothing intelligent to say would type those unintelligent things appropriately under an unintelligent video.. like the one where the girl gets crushed by the tanning bed... go forth, cretins..

Anyways.. kudos for you for trying to do something good for people. There are so many selfish, ridiculous humans out there, and you are refreshing. If they have nothing else to complain about than your messy desk, well.. they have certainly missed the point.
