What makes this the best version on youtube ironically theirs no animation the still Grimm faces of predator & prey. triumphant & the doomed is absolutely absorbed by u & i the viewer. It also teached a very real lesson not only can evil win but it can incredibly & totally win. Let that sink in & be deeply contemplated in secret. MORBIDLY DELICIOUS
@@m00nr1vr Not to mention when Fortunato tried to play it off as a joke and the Narrator was like "yeah no you are gonna die here". Fucking bone chilling.
I'm so glad I found this! We watched this in 8th grade English, but the VHS was so crappy and the tracking on the television was probably way off. So a room full of 13 year olds couldn't understand anything they were saying except someone yelling "AMONTILLADO" every so often. The substitute got frustrated that no one could answer any questions that he made us watch the whole video over again. I crack up every time I think about it.
It's implying Fortunato is trying to sound smart without knowing what he's talking about. That'd be like saying "He couldn't tell a donut from a pastry!"
In my class- it would have been about 1999, we watched this on a filmstrip projector. It may have been this version. The audiotape would beep and then someone would manually turn the film to the next picture. This may have been it, but I've been trying to find that version forever.
@@thomasdunn16 It is a passing observation on a rather unrealistic moment, not a comment on the original story, this rendition or Gothic literature as a whole. Your ending quip is snappy!
Since the corks might have been very difficult to open it would make sense they'd resort to breaking the necks in desperation. Especially Fortunato since he was already inebriated.
