This video I found on YouTube (Isabella & the pot of basil) and it is by JanuszMadej. The video is a short story, which is based off of John Keats’ "Isabella: or, the Pot of Basil." Now this video does not go straight off of his poem. It has major differences. One thing that is different is the time period. Elvis was never alive during John Keats life time. Something else different was the brothers. Although in the poem the brothers are greedy and evil, I think that, in the video, they are made greedier and more evil in the video. Beside the differences in the story they both go on the same line. They both had two people fall in love as if that’s not common in videos), they both had the brother kill Lorenzo, they both have him appear in a dream to Isabella, and they both plant the head in the basil and it grows so much that the brother steal it and look what’s inside. I think that this video gives us a better understanding of how people take the Romantics Poets’ poems and turn them in to movies. Some of those movies are, Harry Potter, Inception, Star Wars, and even more. We don’t realize that poems have to do so much with today’s movies. And not only movies but also music. The Romantics Poets have also made new words. And the new words can go in to videos like Isabella & the pot of basil. There is always more to know about the poets and poems and how the affects our lives and culture. That is why this video is good to understand more about poems. There are two part to the short story. Please watch and enjoy Isabella & the pot of basil.
