Philip Glass - A Gentleman's Honor

Going through my old videotape collections from the 80s posting obscure stuff that's not currently up here.

An actual Philip Glass music video. Inspired by the trial of Eadweard Muybridge, the father of moving pictures.

It's important to watch this video in the context of other videos of the time. I pulled this from a tape of other music videos of the time, and - in context - it's a very decent music video. It's a modern interpretation of Eadweard Muybridge's murder of his wife's lover, his trial and acquittal.

Glad to help. This was played on "Night Flight", which (on occasion) would provide some amazingly wide-ranging stuff.

I downvoted the iraq part of the comment, not the wives bit. Anyway, men and women cheat at an almost statistically even rate

music and video are anathema to each other.....that is why so many bad musicians are very popular these days...they have an eye for porn

2:33, the child, staring frozen through the camera.

Mesmerizes me every time.

This is a portion of the whole piece -- the first Glass recording I bought. I've heard the beginning in a jewelry for Christmas commercial. It impressed at the time that he makes the piano sound like it's striking glass keys -- so brittle, so clear and beautiful...

I agree, the music of Glass transcends us into a state of timeless bliss. This work I love so much, very powerful.

Squeeze life like a sponge. Then you'll savor Glass, as few can.
