Jonathan Brandis: Gone Away
Переглядів 26 тис.16 років тому
One last goodbye on the fifth anniversary of your leaving us. Rest in peace, my friend. Mel didn't have a lyric sheet, so she's singing from the heart. That is Jonathan reciting "The Year That Trembled" (Walt Whitman) at the beginning from the film of the same name. My laptop met an unfortunate end, so this may be my last video for a while. Enjoy!

Remembering Jonathan Brandis
Переглядів 265 тис.18 років тому
This is a retrospective of JB's career, minus several MB's of credits, (and certainly not everything he did,) so: Thanks Brian McArthur (since dec'd) for many of the clips, and everyone at the old jonathanbrandis.org. I was forced to 'audio-swap' the soundtrack, which took weeks to synch, but, since SONY got huffy about the SAME track on another video, I'll be happy that the piece (which is bea...

Memorial video (slideshow) about Jonathan Brandis. That's "Close your Eyes" from the BTVS soundtrack, and an original piece called "Take Care J-Dog" from his 'Requiem' of 2004. This was my very first video, named after the comment Jonathan's mother put on the back side of the memory card she sent to anyone who sent the family a condolence. The video is so deeply personal and elicits so much emo...

    • @jonzfriend

      Disturbing? That's an interesting way to put it. I chose the piece because, at the time, it was the only one that said what words couldn't in a gentle way. It's going to be twenty years soon since he left us, and maybe the fact that this still elicits responses says something about the legacy of the man himself. I still can't watch it objectively. Thanks for dropping by and remembering. I appreciate it.

    I just think this guy needed better friends and company. In many photos with him and his friends I have seen on the internet, it was always a party atmosphere...drinking, messing around, looking wasted, smoking. Perhaps if he would've had mature and responsible friends, they could have advised him to seek help for his depression and other mental issues. He deserved better people around him. 😞💔

    • @jonzfriend
      @jonzfriend 4 роки тому

      He and his friends were 'twenty-somethings' in a party town, and no one thought badly of it. It's often what you do in Los Angeles, whether you are wealthy and famous or not. He didn't use drugs - he was terrified of them, even Tylenol. He DID like to drink (a lot) but that's what guys in their 20's do. His friends were as stable and mature as most people that age would be (and, of course, as mostly actors, were a little self-centered) - but they missed the cues he was giving them, that things weren't what they seemed on the surface. Jonathan was, above all else, an impeccable actor, and his act of normalcy and happiness was almost perfect. Inasmuch as we can, we need to absolve his friends and family of any blame for his death. They just couldn't - and didn't know. No one did.

      jonzfriend, oh sure, not at all. I love films and TV series. And from time to time I look up the lives of actors/actresses. And when I discover how young actors died way before their time, of course it deeply saddens me. Particularly so if by taking their own lives. From what I've read about +Jonathan, it seems he suffered from depression. Possibly due to worries about his acting career. I know of him only by "The Never Ending Story II" and "Seaquest." But I did enjoy his acting. I think he was good and very expressive of his roles. Whatever his reasons, and certainly the friends he must have had, I regret that there wasn't anyone sufficiently close to him when he most needed someone. Or maybe that he hadn't reached out for help. I'm so sorry. From all accounts, he seemed a friendly, kind-hearted young man. God most certainly will count that in his favour. Did you by chance know him personally? Thank you for your heartfelt tribute.
