I've always enjoyed Robert Frost, and for a recent film project I wanted to base my short film around a poem. I picked his rather famous poem (though perhaps not among certain generations), called 'The Road Not Taken.' It is loosely based around my interpretation of the various paths that life may lead us in, and the outcomes that stem from our decisions. Though the video is rather grim, I felt the poem had a neutral attitude (not optimistic nor pessimistic) so in terms setting a mood I chose the direction of the story. Anyway, I'd like to share the video for the GB community (being rather video oriented itself) and see what you guys think. Watch in HD.
Also, I have noticed that poetry in terms of popularity is certainly dying - so in the midst of this I'd like if the GB community could either share their own poems or suggest some authors and poems they like. I like to see how people are able to articulate their feelings/ideas using poetic devices and knowing the GB community is spread around various parts of the world - it'd be interesting to see some contrasts. Hopefully you guys enjoy the video, and feel free to ask any questions and hopefully share some of your writing/art.
