    In the Winter of 2016, I travelled to the chilly Old Post Office deep in the Arthurian land of Tintagel, for a University of Falmouth production of The Highwayman, based on the 1906 poem by Alfred Noyes. I portray the narrator who bears grim witness to a treacherous tryst. Director Oliver Chater and Producer Henry Isaksen invited me on board after their successful Kickstarter campaign, and to return to the University for additional ADR work.
    Highlights include chewing the fat with Poldark and Doc Martin stalwart Rory Wilton, enjoying the splendid National Trust building for the day, and working with a vibrant young crew. The Highwayman was entered into The National Film Festival for Talented Youth among others, and Ben Sutcliffe's excellent score took the runner-up spot at the 2017 LA Shorts awards.

    I was actually surprised by the quality of this!! The only thing I noticed that was off was that the landlords daughter was not gagged. Great job!! Keep up the good work Ryan!!

    I feel like tiny details, like Bess being gagged and the ugliness of Tim, are fine to be excluded. They didn’t affect the overall narrative of the poem, so it doesn’t really matter. It is still very good quality

    I want a REAL movie based on this poem. It’s a 1700s crime epic. The highwaymen era was like the Wild West. Crime, love and drama it’s got everything.

  • @harrisn3693
    @harrisn3693 3 роки тому +10

    The story is basically a love story between a landlord’s daughter and a man who was scorned by society. This is a truly romantic story. Love bounds classes eternally ❤️

    I really enjoyed this, thanks for making it. Tiny quibbles about a few lines being missed out, Bess not being gagged, the soldiers feeling Bess's leg and that Tim was better looking than the Highwayman (he looked too old for Bess!) and Bess's hair not really black. Other than that, well done. I cried at the end!

    As a young child, our Mother would read to us nearly every night. I would absolutely ask her to read The Highwayman. I was stunned and captivated. She did at one point suggest I pick a different story but I remain haunted with Alfred Noyes classic poem. The Fleetwood Mack video left me cold....it was hardly up to the tragic drama portrayed by brilliant poet Noyes.

    you see i'd always attributed the line Blood red were his spurs by the golden noon, to mean he actually gave the redcoats a big fight, killing several. Then it goes on to say wine red was his velvet coat, meaning even though he gave them a good fight and took out several they over powered him.

    They skipped
    "He rose upright in the stirrups. He scarce could reach her hand,
    But she loosened her hair in the casement. His face burnt like a brand
    As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast;
    And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,
    (O, sweet black waves in the moonlight!)
    Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight, and galloped away to the west."

    I've always thought this song would be an engrossing video, but the narration definitely kills it. It should be made to follow the rendition of the poem made by Loreena McKennitt. The first time I heard that song, not knowing anything about the poem I was blown away emotionally. It would be great to see that in music video format with these production values.
