My heart is beating super fast, I both want to cry and laugh at the top of my lungs - I looove this feeling of feeling too much because of a piece of art, thank you so much for this!

@illneas Well, young master, you've done it again! Text, image, music, & editing, all beautifully crafted together to create something quite exquisite. That's another one that'll be on repeat! It's a very inspiring, powerful poem. Again, I love the way you avoid any predictable imagery - this time, I might anticipate images of hand to hand battle, swords n sandals, obvious heroic stuff in less talented hands. None of that. You're imagery is much more subtle. I see recurring themes are developing - candles being lit & extinguished. Animals, particularly cats. Native olive trees or, this time, pomegranate trees: ancient, mythic fruits. Just a fee wee questions, please? Where was it shot? Used to assume you lived in America, but are you actually living in Greece? What's behind your preoccupation with cats in many of your short films? What does that motif mean to you in the context of your art? I love you, man! Thank you for another inspiring gift. Οι θεοί να σας καθοδηγήσουν. Ποτε μην σταματας.

Hello again friend, I will avoid explaining things way to much, in fear of ruining it for you and everyone else. However the fact that I'm living in Greece is no secret, the movie was shot in Thessaloniki (iconic yellow night lights). Thank you for noticing in so much detail these themes and my subtle storytelling. The last thing that I will say in that most of the other videos out there seemed to me predictable as well, so this video was created. What a way to end your message with a Greek quote! Ευχαριστώ

How dare you place such faith in the imagination and intelligence of your viewers! How rude to encourage people to draw their own conclusions rather than spoon-feed them with clichés and single vision! You're a dangerous artist!😁😆😁😉... Sorry, I don't know why I assumed you lived in America (not that I would consider that an insult!). Your English is impeccable. I see Greeks are as partial to graffiti as Italians. The shots of fecund pomegranate trees remind me of trips back to visit family in Italy. Good times. You've used a shot of olives on the branch before. Just waiting for shots of figs and grapes to complete the quaternity of ancient Mediterranean fruits. Thank you again for another wonderful piece of art & your unfailing attempt to kindly address as many admirers as possible. I must remember to set up that sub/donation link. Great idea! PS. I forgot to say the second brief cameo shot - you in the window, cut from long to a revealing mid (the artist with camera) very quickly, is so perfectly timed with and exquisitely composed, I just love it. The first cameo on the steps, quite beautiful. I thought we were gonna get more cameos but, without a doubt, you know best! Είμαστε ειλικρινείς.

You know I love you & your work, bro - it's sad to think that you don't have the resources to employ actors. In the meantime, the cameos are a great touch. Hey! For every successful (ie., well paid) actor, I bet there are a hundred with just as much talent but they simply never got the breaks. They are working in cafes, bars, petrol stations, on benefits, whatever. They would be glad of the exposure & will work for free. Ask around. I don't want to do the whole, "in light of my experience" thing. Boring!!! Just, trust me, I'm sure they are out there. You are exceptional. You deserve whatever is required to fulfill your vision. My very best wishes to you.

As is and shall ever be ...

"Accused" of having a sad vibe...? LOL ! IMHO anybody with any intelligence and even a modicum of insight is aware that life itself is inherently melancholy. All that we love is transient by it's very nature and in the end we lose everything. Yet surely it's this very realisation that not only gives people and things their worth and deems them worthy of love but that makes our own life all the more precious? In the meantime.... Here we are again To summon this heavy nostalgia That miraculously survives As sweetly filters the melancholy Of popular songs P.S. Great channel my friend :)

My soul is his

Really well done intro. Where did you go to get it done?

it was the final statement , the Death poem of Timothy McVeigh "McVeigh died in character; that is, in control. Always the survivalist, he seemed to ration his remaining breaths. When, after four minutes, he was officially dead, his eyes were still open, staring into the camera recording him “live.” "

This is my girlfriend's favourite poem. Just yesterday I wrote a poem kind of stuff and I mentioned her favourite poem is this and I got your video in my feed today! Talk about coincidence! But yeah, I'm really missing her and I met an accident 3-4 days back and this poem reminded me of how strong my bae is and because of her I've to be strong too :') (Thanks for listening to this rant of mine)

Invictus هي كلمة لاتينية تترجم على أنها غير قابلة للهزيمة أو غير مهزومة. القصيدة ، على هذا النحو ، تتناول الحاجة إلى المرونة في مواجهة المحن والكرب. الشاعر ، هينلي ، كتبه أثناء وجوده في المستشفى مع مرض يهدد حياته. Invictus يدور دائمًا حول الحفاظ على الشجاعة والكرامة ، حتى في مواجهة الموت. لقد منح الله كل النعم التي نحتاجها لنجتازها ("أي من مصلحي الرب أن تنكره؟" ، القرآن سورة 55:13) لكننا نحتاج إلى استخدام صمودنا وصبرنا ومرونتنا الذهنية للتكيف مع أكثر التحديات هائلة. ليست مهمة سهلة! على أي حال ، آمل أن يكون هذا ساعدك على فهم العنوان والرسالة العالمية في القصيدة أكثر قليلاً.

Music is way too loud.

I thought this was called Invictus? The order of stanzas in this poem is also moved around. Possibly my favourite poem ever, so I apologise if I seem nit-picky, but between this and removed sections from other poems I've begun to become frustrated to the point of unsubscribing. Meaningless I know, what's one more/less sub? Just comes across to me as a pattern of disrespect towards theses pieces of art. If that seems dramatic fair enough, just my two cents Edit: The title at the time of this comment was not Invictus, not that anyone will ever read this or care
