Gift Vid: Her Cold Metal Hands - for Cara Marie

[chaila]

Title:Her Cold Metal Hands
Recipient: Cara Marie
Vidder: seekingferret
Music: "Che Gelida Manina" by Puccini, performed by East Village Opera Company
Summary: John/Cameron as Rodolfo/Mimi. Is it possible to objectify an object?
Notes: There are versions without subtitles, with English subtitles, and with Italian subtitles. If you're new to La Boheme, I'd recommend starting with the English subtitles. [Ed. Note: The English subtitled version is embedded here. There are links to view the others after the embed]. Unfortunately, vimeo doesn't support accessible subtitles so I hardcoded them into the video, but I can also make the .srt files available if people need them for accessibility reasons.

Thanks to sabaceanbabe for beta help.

I AM DYING WITH LAUGHTER. And every time I thought the joke was played out, THERE WAS MORE.

This is brilliant. Excuse me, I have to go back to that opening bit again now. BECAUSE OMG PERFECT PERFECTION HAHAHA.

Yay, thank you for the vid! Ha ha, of course John is a poet, he is so good at feelings ♥

I admit my knowledge of La Boheme is non-existant, so thanks for doing the subtitles as well :)

I was coming to say that this is a beautiful piece of music, and I love the casting of John as the poet and writer. But the first comment just makes me think that I missed the joke. :)

OMG, this is so precious! *g*

Even without the context, the casting of John-as-angsty-poet was adorable and you built a good narrative in this vid.
