[@barbarajohnson1772]

This is my most favorite poem Annabelle Lee by Edgar Allan Poe!! I Love it❤

[@Storylosopher]

Mine too!

[@BrennaByrdx]

Thanks for making this beautiful poem more accessible for the younger generation. :)

[@dizzlefeast8654]

BrennaBlogt There's such a thing as books for the younger generation :3 (like meeeee, and yes, I have an Edgar Allan Poe book filled with all of his work)

[@khadijamoutal4362]

What a beautiful ending !

[@truthfullyidk2925]

Lowkey the first time I heard the poem it made me sad, but when I saw this it made me cry, poetry really is such a beautiful way of expressing oneself

[@Storylosopher]

Thanks!

[@darknessanddistance4469]

Of all of the Renditions here of this poem... Short films, recitations... Enactments very good. This is the only one that seemed truly real. it was scary suspenseful and unmeasurably sad. Thank you.

[@NemoUberKitty]

This is my favorite Poe work. Beautiful video

[@shannonlarson9241]

My English Language Arts teacher thought this movie was bad yet the storyline was good. This movie almost made me cry. And I never cry.

[@aaameee]

I am pretty emotional with this film, this is my favorite poem since Junior high school, idk why. Maybe even though the ending is too sad, the love is a super genuine #SanaAllEdgar

[@drwhygiveacrap9682]

I really liked this, it was very well shot too. We watched this in class and I enjoyed it but for some reason everyone else thought that the fact that he was Jewish was SO funny. Eh, either way great job.

[@darknessanddistance4469]

How could you tell he was circumcised?

[@danielricardo8544]

@@darknessanddistance4469 He had one em jew hats

[@s_shaddows.4939]

She would have to convert to be Jewish. they get so angry when others dont agree with them or want them to believe like them them but they have to marry a jew and if it's a non jew they force them to become a jew or no marriage their family will lose their minds its absolutely prohibited

[@ChristianBrown-eo9vi]

Very well done! I played it for my 8th grade reading class and we all loved it!

[@Storylosopher]

Great! I've heard other teachers like to use it, too. Glad it's helpful!

[@msg3030]

I've watched this one every Halloween month since it first came out, still one of my favs of the Poe short films. So well done.

[@yaelfeder9042]

Loved the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the deceased, at the end! Beautiful touch😍

[@ms.skipper9873]

This is THE most amazing thing I have ever seen! Thank you so much, and yes, MORE PLEASE!

[@TheToddFather1969]

I am a fan of Poe and film. So I found this and was compelled to watch. I made a film based off the Raven that won awards. Glad for the reply. You did a great job.

[@msg3030]

Transcendingly beautiful...thank you _/\_

[@gionavarro9320]

Can someone please explain to me WHY in the hell those 35 people dislike this art? Srsly. Edgar Allan Poe's creation has so many feels and this clip too.

[@GabiRav]

That because the actor is a Jew ... Same on them!!!

[@aaliied4634]

That was incredible!!

[@Storylosopher]

Thank you!

[@kitcastrodamasco1830]

this is beautiful.... and painful.. thanks for interpreting my favorite poem..

I always show this at Halloween in my 8th grade English class.

[@lauragerlach2849]

I showed my ESL students this film and they said, " It's touching", " This reminds me of Harry Potter" ( weird comment), " This film touches your emotions." As an educator, I appreciate how you've made this piece accessible for English learners- and everyone! Bravo!

[@UXwithCarl]

Thanks! I know an English teacher who shows the film every year in her American Lit class. Glad it helps!

[@MMoKatC]

Okay, I almost NEVER cry, and this made me tear up. It was SO GOOD!! I love the transitions. My favorite part is after he finds that her body isn't in the stone casket, he thought she was gone forever, and then he looks up, and everything begins to brighten as he runs towards her. AHHHH it was so good I can't even begin to put it into words. Thank you for making this! :)

[@MMoKatC]

Also, after the first few seconds I immediately subscribed lol.

[@AnNyut]

the best love story(( it was too exciting thanks for such film!!!

Brilliant, amazing, graceful, BRILLIANT. Ioved that story poem with the video it was just a real piece of work it struck my heart for their love. I with that I loved someone that much but I don't have a girlfriend yet. I did have a girlfriend but what kept her going was my loving hear growing inside her. I would die to the end for her my girlfriend or my ex I would still love her even if I die.

Beautiful My Annabel Lee

[@walkingphilosopher]

This interpretation depresses me deeply as it should because it's after all Poe's. Great work. 2 thumbs up.

[@musicalgamer5395]

This is by far the best video I saw about Annabelle Lee. Great job with it. Do "cast of amontillado". If you have time.

[@Titanic-br9cj]

I love this shot film I recommend it very much

[@KaylaBrown14]

Amazingly done!! Everything is spot on! Love the sound track too

[@alfredagain]

[@rustyweeks7259]

This is a great film. I really enjoyed the music and everything! Great job, guys!

[@Storylosopher]

+Rusty Weeks Thanks! It was a labor of love.

[@kaleighhays3306]

I see a lot of people commenting about the angels, and how they don't look like angels. I believe this is because the narrator seems to directly blame the angels for killing Annabel Lee. So of course the narrator wouldn't see them as beautiful, light creatures of God.

Omg! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@old80sguy]

Kinda gets ya right in the feels. Lol

[@TheToddFather1969]

I think the DP did a fantastic job. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. What did it matter that the man was a Jew and a Confederate soldier? The camera panned right in on his CS belt buckle within the first 90 seconds, and later we see a photo on the bedside table of a man with a Confederate battle flag draped across his lap. The director really seemed to want to make that point and I can't figure out why. Those questions plagued me throughout the entire film, so much so that it detracted from the love story of two people who couldn't be kept apart, even in death. Also, I think it would have been better if it had been shot in black and white, or sepia. However,not to be too critical, it was well done, the music was perfect, the actors looked great and the poem is one of my favorites of all time.

[@Storylosopher]

+Todd Lowe Thanks for your input! You're one of the few people to have noticed such details. I wanted to ground the story in something more than just "sometime, somewhere in the 1800s" and I picked Jewish Confederates. It also fit the themes of the film even if it's not in the original poem. As for the sepia, it would have felt gimmicky to me. Maybe if I do another antebellum film, I'll go more monochromatic! :)

Remember the Angels in some Bible story were guarding all the roads out of a certain city against a certain person leaving? Angry they were as they gripped their swords. Angry, fierce, ugly. As anyone who interferes with your life would appear .

[@booklover6403]

They think it a reference to yellow fever and the kingdom Charleston South Carolina Poe attended a military academy there when he was young and there a legend he fell in love with a plantation owners daughter and the family sent here away from Charleston to try and break them up because Poe was a working class norther and she was a member incredibly wealthy family who owned hundreds of aces of cotton land and was expected to marry such she caught yellow fever and died as result of her being sent away poe stared drinking and gambling during his time there so that possible Poe bumping into a her at a book store in poetry section or doing interdicted by another member of the academy who was a wealthy plantation owners son being escorted home father allowing it believing it to be simple puppy till it spiraled to something serious

[@Storylosopher]

+Call Of Deadly I mean...why not? If someone killed my wife, I'd want to fight him! Plus, film is all about the visual externalization of the internal, so a fight scene seemed to fit with the emotional arc of the narrator.
