"Dance me" videos

Post by Nightstalker »

This video is listed with many other LC videos but I just discovered it near the bottom of that list which I have been wroking my way through for days. What a wonderful work it is!

There is another LC video for the same song that I have just found. I don't know if it has been posted before or not but is well worth the time to watch.

It appears that the beginning scenes may have been shot on the same beach as was the First We Take Manhattan video. Unfortunately I have only been able to see the first 2-3 minutes due to the format or something.
Starring: Quentin Tarantino, Sylvia Binsfeld, Nick Rafter, Laura Bradley, Marc Anthony Reynolds. That much of the video is very interesting.

I can't access the second one... it requires "Quick Time 6" [I think it said, or something like it], which I don't have and don't dare install. I've seen the first one, but enjoy it as much every time I see it, and am doing that, again. The timing is off between the sound and the visuals, but I've seen it correctly before, so that's okay. I'm again amazed at the level of beauty imbued in Leonard's creativity, witnessed throughout this video.

It's a shame that you can't see the other one. The part of it I have seen is every bit as evocative as the one which you can see. I had Quicktime 6.5 or somesuch but just DLd 7.0.4 which is the latest and I still can't see any more of it. I hate it when computer 'junk' doesn't function without tweaking and expert help. I sent the website a request to make the video available in RealPlayer format which I have found is much more user friendly and seldom causes troubles for me. BUT I am not holding my breath..........

The contrast is stark between these two videos. One starts with (on the surface) death and the other with youth. Both are ultra artistic. I wonder how much influence LC had with both of them.

This morning the entire video loaded. It's an entirely different POV from the one which deals with love after death (and other things) and is simply wonderful. I highly recommend watching this.
