A Diversion
Okay, still caught up in grading and like pursuits. In the meantime, I'm sending you Alexander Petrov's version of The Old Man and the Sea. I'm a little hesitant to put this up, as the two videos are, combined, almost twenty minutes. However, Petrov's style is unique and beautiful. He paints on glass, which yields a soft flow to his images. I think he captures the lyricism of Hemingway's story perfectly. The only downside is that the YouTube compression causes a little drop in quality. At any rate, here's part one:

Thank you for sharing. The Old Man and the Sea is one of my all time favorites. It is a great story of man vs nature and the wisdom of honoring the strength of nature.
Wishing you well

I remember now reading it once. As soon as the boy said Santiago, I recognized it. What a beautiful movie made out of it with the same misty and earthy feelings. Great for finding this and sharing!
