I made a video
I used my favorite recording of "My Funny Valentine." It's a very young Chet Baker, who was never known for his great voice, and it is very slow and jazzy but Baker doesn't play the horn on the track at all, so I have no idea why I like it so much, but I do.
It all started because I was looking for a video using this recording YouTube, and I couldn't find a single one. So I said, "I'll just make one!" I went through all of my saved digital files and nothing seemed really appropriate, until I found The King and the Clown (also known as The King's Men, or The King's Man). It's about a troop of street performers who are arrested for mocking the king, and the leader bets their lives that they can make the king laugh. They succeed, and become his in-house entertainment. Which is fine until it becomes apparent that he's nuts, and also half in love with Gong-Gil, the pretty young boy who plays the female parts, played by Lee Jun Ki. The leader of the troop and Gong-Gil ran away from their last troop because the owner was prostituting Gong-Gil to line his pockets, so there film is full of angst and simmering romance.
Also, it's very bloody, and bad things happen. (Hey, it's Korean.)
I think I snatched every reasonably happy scene in this film, and some of them I had to slow down (both to fit the pacing of the song and to stretch the happy, because there is very little of it in this thing).
Still, I love the movie to little crunchy pieces. (A HUGE thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
micehell for sharing it with me.) I also really, really love the gorgeous Lee Jun Ki, who is way prettier than me. (I could eat his face right off.)
The video is narratively not as good as it could be, and I was using Windows Moviemaker, so there wasn't a lot of flexibility with effects and things, but I'm still pretty pleased with it.
So, Happy Valentine's Day, one day late:
AAAaannd DivShare is being a bitch. I had to put in a customer service query to get the video to work, and the embed code seems to be broken. At least, it isn't working.
So here is the direct link. OI!
