First off i want to say that i have watched this video at least 10000 times a big part because it has been my one year old daughters favorite video since birth. so thank you so much for this.
Isn't it something that wabi sabi is a perfectly acceptable ideal for pretty much everything in this world other than humankind itself which we tend to lean the other way and focus on the negative instead of the positive aspects.
This is an incredible piece of work. I am so emotionally moved in so many ways. I am filled with so much joy that I just want to explode and at the same time, feel myself doing some deep soul searching. The video clips are edited so "spot on" to the music. I've had this on repeat for the last 24 hours (and yes, I sleep with TWS in my ears), incredible mix. How can I get a list of movies where these clips are pulled from?
The main dancer featured in this video is Eleanor Powell. The films exhibited are the “Broadway Melody of 1936” and “Honolulu”. A word of caution if one looks at the film Honolulu, there is a scene with Powell in blackface portraying “The King of Harlem”; which is deplorable, yet scenes like this of this cinematic period depicting African decent people in a lowly manner, were unfortunately commonplace. Another actress who takes up a good portion of this video is Moira Shearer, most known for the acclaimed film “The Red Shoes”. Debbie Reynolds is shown a little here, in the film "Singin’ in the Rain”. When watching I expected Ginger Rogers to be more pictured, not only naturally talented in dancing but known just as much for her acting, more so than arguably any of the actresses listed above; on the reality she did many films where she did no dancing or singing at all, instead solely displaying her acting prowess; this was not the case for most actresses who were known for musicals at that time; a case in point being Judy Garland. Lastly a film I would have liked to see here was the 1943 film “Stormy Weather” which has great dancing, arguably the best at that time. It showcases the dancing chops of Lena Horn, Katherine Dunham, plus many others; maybe next time. I would recommend to viewers of the films featured above (if there is a curiosity to see any), to start with “The Red Shoes”, a captivating film from start to finish, and when the actors perform the play The Red Shoes in it, visually & musically still is something to truly behold. In closing, hopefully ElFamosoDemon goes back to this cinematic era sooner than later in his videos, pretty outstanding period of film, for the most part. It could have been much greater if people from all backgrounds were forwarded more real genuine opportunities to participate, but I digress. Stellar work ElFamosoDemon, keep it up.
sweet edit dude! I also spend days editing music to anime/movie clips, and im happy with my 20-50 views but I seriously reckon you will dig what I create also.
