Romeo and Juliet Suite no 2, Op. 64b: Montagues and Capulets

Tell me what do u think about the video.
The Knight's Dance by Sergei Prokofiev
Romeo and Juliet Suite no 2, Op. 64b: Montagues and Capulets

[@FinAidperson]

This piece scared me to death each night as I tried to fall asleep while my father prepared for conducting his orchestra!

[@jfm5959]

Just the perfect music to accompany your moving montage. Great work!

[@tdxi124]

The first two minutes of the music encapsulates the western view of the Soviet bloc, especially when I was a teen in the 1970's/80's, scary and amazing! It's also an excellent montage. If only Mr. P. knew when he wrote the music...

[@WobblesandBean]

This aren't exactly the images my mind conjures up when listening to this timeless ballet concerto...

[@gorgonnine988]

I think it's rather fitting and artistic, given that it's the Montagues and Capulets. Throughout human history and in present day real life, there is a great deal of strife and hatred that goes back so many generations that the new generations feel the hostility and defensiveness, but it wasn't born inside of them, just passed down to them. Very similar to the story of the Montagues and Capulets, only on much larger and more tragic scales. My perception is that this video is focusing more on the theme/psychology.

[@spartan113ish]

+GorgonNine TLDR

[@Kando0615]

The video is done very well.Even if Prokofiev did not intend this piece to be viewed in this way,it still goes perfect with these images.

[@MazlanD]

I think you have done an exellent job of the video! It really conves well with the mood of the music. 5 stars and a fav

[@MOTHERofSEPHY]

Oh, this is such a powerful song. Great expressive video.

[@gautamdeusa]

Smashing!!!! Superb!! Immortal!!!! The video graphy is very good and well thought. Montagues and Capulets are replaced by good and evils. Thanks.

[@NeoMC3]

I had the privilege to listen to this today in The Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), and this was EXACTLY what I thought when listening to it, well done expressing your message.

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

This piece always makes me think about the Eastern Front of WW2 - which incidently ended 66 years ago today

[@danner4life]

Intense! The visuals are just as dark & eerie as this Prokofiev piece!! I love it! Very clever!

[@YvetteElizabeth]

Thanks for sharing this brilliant video with us.

[@jonnykkkkkkkkk]

Liked you video very much....you've put a lot of work into it....powerful scenes and very thought provoking...excellent.

[@staxss]

Fantastic music.. fantastic Video, and the message is.. WAR!! No one wins! and the innocent die!

[@BrianSmart8]

@Thisbyify I believe it is the London Symphony Orchestra's. They were conducted by Valery Gergiev.

[@Sabina120970]

The music is from Romeo and Julia!!! And is passional and great You have to see the dance with te music its beautiful

[@FabioLoPiccolo]

Bellissimo video!!!

[@gabbydreyar8534]

I love this music. It doesnt matter if someone wrote it with something else in mind whats important what we see in this music.

[@FabianoMornatta]

definitely THE most powerful, obscure and sinister composition in music history. I don't like that much Prokofiev, but he has reached immortality with this one. Magnificent.

[@charlotter95]

I love it it's the song they play at Nottingham Forest matches before the players come out

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Whenever I hear this piece, I don't think of warring families in medieval Italy (ie Romeo and Juliet) - I think of the ferocious battles of the Eastern Front- Stalingrad, Leningrad, Moscow, Kursk, 2nd Kharkov, Lower Dniper...

[@SilverInsanity]

It is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev, I think it was written for a version by either the Bolshoi Ballet or the Mariinsky Ballet.

[@zenophilius1]

I think this video is so cool. Especially the beginning. I think the beginning stirs up emotions and sentiments. Besides, gxgfree4rhyme was just looking at this piece in another perspective. You cant blame him for that

[@bpp325]

"Montagues and Capulets" = the video.perfection representation. Thank you.

[@blackcorridors]

the video is great, have no doubt about that, thank you very much!

[@NicoleEivissa]

It's very inconsistent, this theme, comunism etc. But-the music is spectacular. In my opinion, the music playing through these picture perfectly expresses the feeling of the pictures. I don't know what does the owner of this video think, but I think you made great work. When you look at this like on an art, it's superb (especially the beginning, when the music starts to play such an epic way!) I felt in love with classical music for some reason, and this masterpiece is one of my favourite.Thanks

[@nikolja347]

Great and true video!

[@mathcernea]

Wonderful imagery!

[@Anonferiest]

Brilliant video.

[@nemo0628]

This video is brilliant! A scathing visual indictment of fascism in all its forms.

[@QueenBee171]

REALLY good, well done..

[@Kutuzov0856]

Excellent Work

[@foursilvers]

the best of the best!!!!!!!!

[@Manifestah]

nice video!and the song powerfull

[@thecraziestofalldave]

just makes me wanna watch enemy at the gates againor any of the other oppositepositive movies

[@madrereus16]

powerful!

[@SassyTheWhiteMaltese]

I'll tell you what I think. Excellent choice of music to offset the message. Great job.

[@ermeyfran]

I like the convination, I won't whine. It's criticism, we all know the end of Romeo and Juliet and Juliet and therefore society end up in death and pain when there is such division.

[@heyheytaytay]

crazy cool.

[@BrianSmart8]

@Thisbyify London Symphony Orchestra with Valery Gergiev I believe.

[@blahblah3299]

i think that this interpretation is brilliant

[@Cassfuckingcline]

I really like the way that you took such powerful imagery and made it almost iconic, in the way that Andy Warhol did it (though you did this with negative imagery)...it puts the scary figures up on a massive scale and works really well with the music.

[@AcheronDevil]

I think you did a really good job with this video...pictures are really well placed with the song, I feel like you're trying to sort of prove a point....just don't know what it is yet...but keep it up :)

[@Jake4992002]

Amazing

[@vonMoltke1870]

Very interesting perspective. I believe the music is perfect to go along with apocalyptical images. Just one note: the western social system (Bush's USA included) is the only one where such a video can be made public without fears of serious problems for the author (and even the innocent observer...).

[@rheingauviertel]

Genial inszeniert

[@kaczyyy]

this is great, so funny and so real...

[@moonhitler]

i find this song is usually used in conjunction with war, which makes sense,can i ask you all a question? all tyrants SAY they act in the interests of their people,before undermining them,the same applys to superowers of the world with their allies. so who is to be trusted? who is to be given authority, who should lead lives? there is an awnser for this. Definately not the America

[@Tuck213]

For whatever reason this composition may be written, be it for military agressive propaganda or a love story; This is still wonderfull art. I'm not going to let my positive opinion about this piece getting blurred by anyones feelings towards it, like the uploader's.

[@lemonadegoespop]

APPRENTICE :D x

[@doriapamphili]

I thought it would be cool if in the quiet part of the music you could show some of these pictures or videos of the living human body - biological pictures, to show the quietness and peacefulness of each person and the equalness of all people. But that's just a picture that came into my mind. I really like your video and posted it on my facebook wall.

[@richierich0001]

I've watched this video about 7 times today. I being Jewish, i mean it is bother some to see pictures of the nazis and Hitler, but i appreciate the work that went into creating this videos.

[@emmaemmaemma453]

i agree with you archifresh it is just a nice peice of music and it is not a symbol of hatrid.

[@Sei4Shiori]

The song is by Prokofiev, so in his works maybe you´ll find what you search

[@raba13d]

A visual septic rendition of a piercing movement

[@tobbi1983]

nicely done

[@BoborGlenn]

I think it is incredible! So many messages Dr. Goebbels would be proud. Prokofviev's Montague and Capulets is perfect.

[@IgorRamones]

Muy bueno

[@Themusiczealot]

Absoulutely excellent video! I can really get the sense of how ruthless Hitler was and the whole video was great all the way to the end with the house burning down. I liked it so much I'm going to favorite. :)

[@kaczess]

It's f**king great!!!!!!!!!

[@strasharo]

Very nice composition, the video and the music fit very well. Are the graphics used in this video available for download somewhere? :)

[@xiraxis]

ingenious...

[@TheRationalizer]

@theallvenerable1 >A man only dies when he is truly forgotten. Or when he shoots himself in the head.

[@DavinaFaerie]

@archifresh I totally agree with you. This guy is obviously very simple.

[@paliki2]

Well, WWII was fought for a number of reasons. Hitler was upset about the Treaty of Versailles, wanted to unite his view of Germanic peoples, wanted to claim the "liebesraum" (pardon my German, i don't habla), and as far as America goes, Germany stood by Japan when that conflict arose. Stalin was paranoid. And the war on terror was launched as an attempt to rid Western influence from the middle-east amongst other reasons. However, regardless of what side anyone is on of any armed conflict

[@MaidOfPasta]

It sounds like FSYO's performance. Or should it be vice-versa? Awesome songs.

[@Baumbesetzung]

[@spaz01112]

where can I find more music similar to this?

[@alfatron3]

very impressive! Good! Excellent. But the time changed.....unfortunately not the people.

[@Mostertman]

Nice montage

[@FredoMadison]

Nice interpretation of the piece. Really enjoyed this. And really how are these controlled mass movements different from Montagues and Capulets. It's all basically "killing in the name of" (fill in your preference). If I had to pick a favorite picture from the video it would be the hands at 1:36. Thanks a lot.

[@seponvi]

The march of all dictators of the history

[@woodesroger]

awesome, did you make the movie/effects?

[@doriapamphili]

Very stirring and great video. First I was wondering if Hitler fits in there because his madness exceeds the one between those two allegoric families. But if you see him as the seed for all the strife that followed he fits in.

[@pedroarroyo6571]

XD SO FUNNY IM DEAD

[@Chooky707]

Dropping those two bombs was a tough decison. but with the information availible at the time it was believed that dropping the two bombs would save american and japanese lives. While in hindsigh tit may have been a bad decision Harry S. Truman was not an evil man for making a bad decision.

[@eschelar]

Creative and kinda funky, and carries through the heavy tone. Not all that well polished, especially with the letterboxing, but there are definitely some moments that made me smile. Or frown... But in a good way... hehe.

[@paliki2]

it is hard to avoid propaganda, and, seeing as that is divergent from the truth more often than not, it perpetuates violence so a righteous or inevitable as an initial war may be, whether offensive or defensive, peace cannot be achieved without the truth. Lies do produce senseless violence.

[@sevensided]

I believe the "creator" of the video was attempting to make a correlation between Hitler's galvanizing Germany for WW2 and Bush's galvanizing the US for the "War on Terror". The music is just mood music.

[@roach1227]

Nice Job Seeing Hitlers Picture always gives me goosebumps. Nice Choice in song btw =) ~Roach~ "The Good Die Young"

[@zenophilius1]

@paliki2, u r so correct

[@ibanezxiphos700]

this is on the end of "only ash remains" by necrophagist

[@Luborgia1]

Fucking love this video!!

[@HNCS2006]

Initially I wasn't feeling the Nazi imagery, then i saw what you were trying to do with it in equating the Nazis with modern US driven imperialism, and i thought that was quite a clever move.

[@UberMenschNowFilms]

What is this exact recording? I must know!

[@scoremoot]

prokofiev would have been proud i think...

[@Tripp393]

mmmm good dictatorship music!

[@NicoleEivissa]

@zenophilius1 Definitely, I agree with you, have the same feeling

[@fuckengerginof]

sounds like the same formula used to put this country in the state it's in now.

[@ToozdaysChild]

It has nothing to do with any supposed correlation between them, it's just pictures set to music.

[@tomski3]

Ye but don't you think this piece could well be the theme tune for evil? The way it's so dark and sinister? That's what I'm getting from it anyway.

[@wcbuerste7]

The video is actually quite nice, but the name of it is misleadig. I just wanted to hear this beautiful piece and not watch your montage.

[@blablabla5971]

Bonjour tout le monde ! :D

[@thermotheo]

quick question, non hitler based i'm afraid. Is this the absolute original version of this piece? Where it has the army drum little bits at 0:19 I couldve sworn it shouldve been trumpet. Or maybe I'm just highly diluded, pray tell.

[@alexmail123]

see too: Chanel Egoiste Platinum

[@direwolf404]

I dunno... Maybe the pictures were a little bit over the top...

[@Gomjibar]

I think this would have been better if you kept the images in chronological order and did it as a history of violence in the 20th and 21st century.

[@idonthavefootprints]

i don't know who that guy is, but he has a sick moustache.

[@heyheytaytay]

It's the Dick Cheney theme song....

[@nekompire]

very powerful. its true. for some reason, the villan is reborn as time passes by. hitler, george bush.. so similar. History repeats itself. good job.
