way to reduce the poem's poignancy to pure cheese.

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.

Elizabeth Bishop also lost the meaning of her poem with this movie clip, its horrible it does no justice to the poem itself

beautiful, the black and white film... ... but,,, too cutesy of a voice for this......

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?

Congrats.

My poetry teacher linked us this video. It's really great.

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'

[anoxfordman]

too obvious

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.

To "pmpsty": Totally agree w. you
