Sandman: The City of Dreams | Video Essay
This was really fun! Your script and the way you delivered it reminded me a lot of Ginsberg's Howl. Now I want to see this at a poetry reading. 😂
Thank you so much!
Very interesting, there has been nobody quite like him. He is a relative of mine, I am a descendant of his brother Oscar Bloch. There was also another brother, William Bloch and he was an actor. Oscar Bloch became a Doctor to the King of Denmark and the founder of the most famous hospital in Copenhagen, the "Rigshospitalet." Quite a talented family, in the arts, medical and science.
Too bad he's part of that gross Hollywood pdophle ring
Ol girl in the middle wants it
Wonderful! Just a note, it’s Siken like “psych-en”
thank you! he actually responded to me on Twitter and let me know I made this mistake lol
@@mindtheater well you still said it better than what I initially thought it was haha
2:44: Khrushchev would’ve loved to hear that!
love your content man, its a shame you dont have more views, but I'm sure you'll get if you keep up the amazing quality your videos have
thank you so much!
earthsea really gave me an appreciation for the utilization of the spoken/written word in fantasy settings, and i think it worked so well in forming the world of earthsea and ged's relationships. really loved how you articulated this!
thank you!
Soviet art as a whole was so interesting! The incredible vision they had while having to follow such intense state guidelines in art style created something special
Hi! I really loved this video, as for I have a deep mental connection to soviet arts and music, and above all to space aestethics. I would love to know, where can I find more of this type of art? Google gives me very unsatisfactory results when I input "socialist realism", or such, only a few examples seemingly repeating. Where do you find art of this type?
Loved this!
thank you Emma!
I love Ursula Le Guin's books, I have always had more of an affinity towards the Dispossessed but recently read her fantasy novels. This video makes me want to re-read them :))
thank you! The Dispossessed is one of my favorites!
could you give an analysis of Self Portrait against Red Wallpaper, even if its just in txt. It has me in a trance at the moment and am struggling for answers
so many gorgeous faces
Sad that I only learn about his art after he's dead. I just knew him as this strnage but cool actor in the heist with Gene Hackman. Guy is pure art.
well-crafted video, interesting essay, poetic narration. can't wait for the next upload! :D
thank you!
非常好视频,爱来自中国
Having seen Ricky perform maybe a hundred times, what set him apart from other performers is that the audience was usually leaning forward, through the entire show. The level of suspense, interest and amazement kept us all on the edge of our seats.
Everyone starts at 0, keep strong, you got great potential!
He was Mt Everest!! So sad he has left the stage!
Naw sicka 😂
Always great to find content about the Soviet Union from a western source that isn't insanely biased against socialism or straight up just regurgitating debunked Cold War propaganda
Yet another great essay. I love how your dialogue is poetic while you highlight the themes and elements that I missed.
thank you!!
Awesome video. Ive really been enjoying going back through your channel and watching your video essays. I don’t want to step on your creative choices in any way, but as a person who does a lot of public reading of my own creative work, I wanted to give you one piece of feedback: to slow down a little, give the audience enough time to let your awesome writing sink in, like you did at the very end of the video. Keep up the fantastic content! Be well
Thank you! Thank you for the constructive feedback as well!
Ricky Jay is amazing. I enjoy his patter--he is a genius of patter as much as a genius with tricks. It occurred to me--Ricky could say just about anything and would believe him.
I hope you make another essay on poetry
I have an avos'ka bag at home and didn't know... In Brazil
Just finished the game earlier this week and while I have some questions I still love the game very much
Not fully Soviet related, but there this very obscure Hungarian movie ''Les Maîtres du temps (1982)'' that very inspired by this whole Future of Space travel visuals of this art pieces. Also i couldn't even find Rus. Subs for it before, so iam pretty sure Eng. Subs probably don't exist too, but its still super pretty to look at.
This was awesome
This is one of the few videos that speak about this so I’m glad that the quality is there from start to finish. Soviet art has always had a great flair to it and the space race propaganda is, in my opinion, one of the best artistic collections that have ever been made by a nation, the color palettes are perfect, the themes are flawlessly expressed, etc.; subscribed, hope your channel goes big!
yes. my thoughts exactly
блин... очень здорово....
I love the consumer culture of the USSR. Older people who were born and raised in that era still use reusable bags and the net ones that have been out of fashion for ages and it's hilarious to see them back on the west. By the way, in Russia we reuse vinyl plastic bags like 5+ times until they are completely wrinkled, stretched or torn. Although people reuse just to save money, and if you feel like you can afford it, you can throw it away every time, I really hope we can keep this habit. I'm also really nostalgic for the proper tableware in fast food restaurants and coffee shops, it feels like a much better experience and I can thankfully afford to stay for 10 minutes to drink my tea and munch on a pastry.
Those feel so familiar! A haven't lived in the Union, but I live in Russia. Most of these designs you can still see in some apartments, cars are on the roads... posters are gone, but they are somewhere deep inside, always remembered.
Here because I saw your video in a Yugopnik stream! Really love your vid. I'm not one for art or design but Soviet design is something else.
It’s because that’s all they had was dreams of what could be, not what is. Communism kills and never rebuilds.
the video game "Atomic Heart" might be mediocre at best, but it really, *really* nailed Soviet design as well as taking it even further into a coherent retrofuturist design language.
In Brooklyn they called him Fart box because of his chromic flatulence.
good vid. enjoyed it through and through
Cool essay. I see that on your chanel I can find more of this rabbit hole.
"Russian" avantgarde isn't Russian at all. Some of the totalitarian art unsurprisingly looks exactly like German nazi and Italian fascist "art". Most of the later designs are directly copied/stolen from other countries. Every single car built in the USSR was directly copied from the West. Unsurprisingly we can see the same things in China now. But somehow communist Chinese dog shit products are seen as what they are but because of how successfull Kremlin propaganda is Soviet dogshit products are seen as cool.
❤
Criminally underrated channel
An interesting example of the celebration of progress is how synth music was treated in USSR. While in the west it was first seen as somewhat rebellous and took a while to become mainstream, in the Union the sounds of the future were embraced soon after they were introduced to the country.
The channel "Funked Up East" has some incredible synth, funk, jazz and soul from the USSR
Hell yea my man. Happy belated birthday
And now to think humanity is soon to end, we lost our chance of saving ourselves. At least we will not be condemned to an existance of slavery, for a few years and in some places today, some people were free.
You ok bro?
@@ghosttornado no
Cool video
