North & South (Margaret & John) - In my Veins
"When she first encounters John Thornton, her father's pupil and man in favour of the power of master over worker, she finds their views in conflict. But industrial rebellion and family tragedy cause Margaret to learn realities of urban life and Thornton to learn humanity. Only then can a mututal understanding lead to the possibility of enduring love."
~ From the cover of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel ~
In this video I tried to focus on two things:
1. Margaret's and John's love. How she has enchanted him with her modern look on things and how he falls for her;
and
2. Thorntons incredibly interesting character. This song might not be perfect (since it is rather about love and addiction) but I still think it works somehow. I wanted to show how Thornton changes because of Margaret. I think the story is still a bit centered on Margaret and her journey in mind (and also her moving to different places) but I love how Thornton changes as well and becomes a completely different person.
When I first watched this series ( about ½ year before I started reading the book for the first time) I somehow disliked Thornton at first. His opinion was his opinion was his opinion. He does what he thinks is right and lets no one persuade him of a different matter. But in the 2. episode I began to realize that this man is totally insecure and that he cares alot about other people's opinion (especially Margaret's). I think it is really interesting how he still tries to keep up the facade. His mother is the only one he can talk to and THEN there is Margaret, entering his world and he starts to believe she will understand him. This is the first time he escapes his usual thoughts and confesses his love to her. And he gets hurt. She has „changed" him and now he is addicted to her. This is the start of my video. She has hurt him but he still can't forget her. I just love how he is thinking. That he is even saving her from public humiliation because he still loves her... Oh man... so... what I was trying to say with my video is... That Thornton is an amazing character and I wish there were more men out there like him. Isn't it just all a big, huge misunderstanding between him and her?
In my opinion this song is perfect for his thoughts, Don't you think so too? It's depression, love, passion, frustration, ...
I know, this is not very fitting to it at all. But for me it all began with North & South. These last 2 years since I watched it the first time... have been amazing and very important for me in so many ways. In these last 2 years I experienced so much. It has not always been good things, but at least I think I grew into who I am right now. And maybe Thornton's love is what makes him become the man he truly wants to be: honest, a gentleman, loving, caring, passionate, a brother, a pupil, a son, a husband, a good friend to his employees.
And, yes, this is a video about love... but I still hope it is also about building a character and standing up for oneself. Thornton didn't give up in the end, did he? This video is still completely different, I understand that, if you are still reading this, you might ask yourself, why I wrote all this stuff.
These are all just my impressions, thoughts I wrote down on my little yellow papers that lay on my desk. Impressions about who he is and what this video should be about. And when I finished this video I read all these little notes again, there were like 30 or so. And I didn't want them to get lost, so i sumarized them for you! Isn't it strange how lost you can get in a nice movie or series?
The Song is "In my Veins" by Andrew Belle

INCREDIBLE VIDEO! Thank you so much for making it! The song choice, the clips, the pacing--it's so great!
This is so beautiful! I love how hard Thornton was, and for a while still tries to be but Margaret really alomost is kind of in his vains, or at least him, she makes him a better man even when he doesn't want to be, doesn't want to change, she's like this missing piece of him. I love how you can see that in his eyes, in every look he gives her, the hardness just melts away and all there is warmth and love, you captured all that so perfectly!!!

@Randy Watson i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
Chills. Up and down my spine. I love this video. Sarah, you did a fantastic job. You capture their relationship and growth perfectly. I am so impressed with your editing.
Beautiful!! great choice of clips; fantastic editing using the rhythm of the song and its text!
@sallyannerenee thank you! Have you read the novell? i like thornton even more in that! I believe this is one of the very few novells of this time who concentrate on both lovers' thoughts... I loved the scene after margaret's fall because of the stone, when he carries her inside, saying "oh my dear, if i could only tell you how much I love you" or something like that. it is beautiful!
beautiful video, it's been a while since i last saw a good North & South video and set to one of my favorite songs :)
Wow, Sarah! Es ist unglaublich wie Du mich immer wieder berührst! Dein Video, die wunderschöne Musik (erst dachte ich es wäre Coldplay) und besonders Deine Worte! Es ist so schön zu lesen wieviele Gedanken Du Dir machst und daß Du Dich gerne mitteilst! Ich habe das Missverständniss zwischen den beiden auch nie so richtig verstanden. Ja, sie muss das Geheimniss um ihren Bruder wahren, aber Thornton hat doch bewiesen, das er zu ihr hält und vertrauenswürdig ist. Ich habe keinen Platz mehr :) CU
Спасибо ЛЮБОВь тебе.
Lovely video!
without being too involved in his worker's lifes.... But then Margaret comes around and makes his whole world collapse a little ;-). I think this song really worked with your idea behind their relationship. Your editing is beautiful as always, but I had to get used to the words you used.... I do like it better after watching the video a few times, but I wasn't so thrilled about it at first :p. I loved the variety of clips too. Like 3:44, 4:06 and 2:26. Very clever and amazing dear!
Мне этот фильм очень нравится,я его несколько раз смотрела♥♥♥♥♥ Фильм классный , Спасибо★★★★★
@sionsidhe9 thank you my dear! yes indeed, thornton changes so much when margaret is near. before the proposal his smiles are more obvious and after that he tries to hide his feelings... somehow i like the bad and dark glances, at least they proof that he still feels for her, right? and, oooh, the ending, she is absolutely in his veins then!!!
@MelodyofSnow Haha! I can see why you felt that the video was almost naked without the words ;) And yeah, I liked the colouring!!! But I didn't really consciously notice it while watching the video for the first time... Hihi! You are crazy XD. Okay, the words are a bit like a summary of T, I do agree again! XD I think In my veins is prob a bit overused but when I feel like vidding a song and my fandom isn't done yet or I am planning a multifandom I don't care the least ;-)! BIG hug hun! xxx
@majtris liebe nathalie: vielen, vielen dank für deine lieben, lieben worte! wie immer lässt du mich ganz rot werden:) freut mich, dass es dich freut wenn "ich mich mitteile" hahaha, klingt ja schon fast so, als ob ich vollkommen verrückt nach der serie sein würde! achja, im april kommt man erstes emma 09 video. ich hoffe, das wird dir auch gefallen!
@rand0midentity Thank you my dear! wow, your compliments run down my throat like honey and milk! thank you!
Oh, this is beautiful!!! And I agree with you, I didn't like Thornton at first either!! But as ! got to know him, and understand him, and see that he did have a softer side that he was afraid to show......well... he grew on me until I fell for his character!!!
@TheLadyVictorian thanks!
@Lotjeknorrepotje thank you!!!! wow, just thank you! :) I'm glad you somehow got used to the lyrics on the right.. I know, it can be alot distracting. but somehow... my video looked so naked... and i didn't like that at all, it was somehow boring. i tried to colour it so it won't be so boring (did you realize??? i used COLOUR!) but i still didnt like it that much... somehow i though the little words would be like a summary of "T" (lovely short!!) and his thoughts... and, yes, great that we used
@ruba1029 thank you! haha, well, a shame you are not able to see my other video:) thank you!
@MelodyofSnow No, I haven't read the novel. But it sounds like I need to!!
@whomels thank you
@fragmentofdreams Oh, my! i never realized there were 2 versions of the song. I have two monitors you know (not just because I'm a freak, but also because i needed it for an important essay at school) anywaaaaaay: i played your video and mine right next to each other and you are right: your song is slower and a bit more dramatic? haha, yes, I like fast motion, how can you tell? :D
@GemStarProductions haha, thank you:) yes, I think, sometimes it is indeed better to watch the movie first and then read the book. they can explain things differently. And I still don't understand it all why mr. hale left the church... the explanation is a bit... well, confusing for me...

Sarah , Google the historical term, "nonconformist" as it applies to The Church Of England , and the history of religion in Great Britain.
@Saffronkelvin2 thanks
Hi hun! It was about time I'd give my opinion, right? ;-). First of all: great songchoice! Very nice that you used it too! We could have been working on a vid with the same song on the same time! For some reason I like that idea XD. Thanks for your detailed description, I really enjoyed reading it. I also think that you are right. I didn't like T at first either :p. I just thought he was too harsh, unsensitive and arrogant. But he isn't, he just tries to be a good master
To chistoryczny film.?
@Lotjeknorrepotje the same song, right? :)
@MelodyofSnow i'm sure the copyright claim will be removed someday ...
@georgiagirl1993 thank you!
@beretta1342000 thank you!
