- I began making a period drama video using Alanis Morissette's Uninvited which my sister requested. However in the process of doing so I found there were so many clips for Tess, Angel and Alec from Tess of the D'Urbervilles I just had to make a video about the three and so here it is!
The clips are from the recent adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles by the BBC and as I said is set to Alanis Morissettes Uninvited. So enjoy and let me know what you think :)
FAN BASED VIDEO. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED
Gemma gave an amazing performance as Tess. The song surprisingly works well with the story and shows how Tess is consumed by forces in her life she didn't invite in :P
Wow! Thomas Hardy has bewitched and besotted me ever since I read his abridged version of "Far From the Madding Crowd" in 2011 in my college. It is indeed sad that many dismiss him as pessimist. Even though I am a devout Christian I greatly admire him. So close to my heart. What is this man made of to write such a novel like this. If I had lived in his lifetime I' d have visited him in Max gate and would 've had a conversation with him about my saviour. My tribute to this little genius from India.
Perfect song! It makes Alec appear every inch of the creep he is.
Wow, perfect editing as well.

"I don't think you unworthy, I need a moment to deliberate."
Oh my god i could watch that strawberry part over and over again!
Just beautiful! This version of Tess is the best with a wonderful Hans!
Oo, very nicely done! The eeriness of the song mirrors perfectly the eeriness of the Alec/Tess relationship. Great job!
Woww. I'm just being repetitive, but this is the best Tess/Alec video I've seen. The use of scenes with the perfect choice of music shows what the creep he really was. Well done.
Amazing Tribute. Love the book and the movie. So touching...
That was great! I loved your choice of clips that relate to the certain lyrics.
This is incredible!!!
wow... this song captures every essence of Tess' position between both alec and Angel!!
I love this story (and both film versions), and you did a very nice job of putting this together :)
WOW what a song choice. Absolute perfection! Really great video. :)
The men ruined Tess. She never asked for those passions and affects. She was a pure heart being herself
Hans is a great actor.
Fact, I wish he’s back to movies but now he is focusing on his music
oh my goooood, I love this song, I was looking 4 it and didn't know the title!
love the vid too! very good work!
@AdamLavineLova101 Tess is raped by Alec near the beginning of the story. She falls in love with Angel who later marries her whilst Alec continues to haunt her. In the end Tess kills Alec to rid of him and be with Angel. The police find out, arrest and hang her for her crime. In that time when a prisoner was executed they raised a black flag above the prison as a sigle to onlookers
Very well done mise en scène ! Thanks for sharing !
Besides, I read the novel in its original version (I'm actually 🇫🇷) and it happened that Alec is my favorite character ! Tess and Angel seem a bit mushy compared to him...
Goldhelmriel, clearly you need to read the book. To try to reduce Alec D'Urberville to a one-dimensional character, i.e. "evil", is just fatuous. Alec is way more complex a character than "the embodiment of evil" you're only capable of seeing him as. In the book, D'Urberville was so haunted by what he had done to Tess, he converted to Angel Clare's father's brand of evangelical Christianity, quite an ironic twist. It was horrible and ugly, his violation of the incredibly naive and innocent, tender Tess. Loathsome. But D'Urberville later becomes totally consumed with the need to try to redeem himself, and to attempt to somehow make things "right" for Tess. Of course there was no way to rectify what he had done, but he was willing to die trying. Another great irony of the story was the way Tess unwittingly undid all of Angel's father's influence on Alec, by filling him with Angel's new age Marxist philosophy. In a way, he is almost as tragic a figure as Tess, because by disabusing Alec of his notions of redemption Tess brought him spiritually to a much darker place. There is no doubt that Alec did love Tess in his own weird way, and did wish to do right by her after doing her such a profound wrong. Clare has always been, IMO, the most contemptible hypocrite: holding poor Tess up to standards he himself failed to live up to, dumping her and abandoning her for it. Don't forget Hardy is relating Tess's relationships to the two men in her life through Tess's own eyes, and thus she gives Clare an unreasonable free pass for his cowardice, his priggish "righteousness", his contemptible spinelessness and hypocrisy. She is blind here: she *loves* Clare. Hardy himself had plenty to say about Clare as well, and he did not view him as any better than Alec, because he comes to a sense of the wrong *he* did Tess far too late, and consequently destroys her sanity.
+fancifulfilly Well-summarized. And I'd have chosen the coward Alec over the coward Angel.
Actually, Hardy did saw Angel better than Alec, his story is filled with side-by-side comparisons and the two characters were worlds apart to put it like this. Alec conversion is the definition of hypocrisy more than Angel's poor reasoning when it comes to Tess' past. By this conversion, he is redeeming himself, but he cannot undo the fact that he took advantage of an innocent girl, no matter what is happening next, no matter of his later role. After all, let's not forget that he doesn't earn what he gets, he is just an opportunist abusing his position in the higher society (real disgusting truth). When he secondly mets Tess, he is not willing to help her and her family until she marries him, and you're telling me that he wished to do her right by conditioning her freedom and deceiving her choices. He converted himself to preach something in which he did not believe, left his post to pursue her again, and making her choose him on the account of helping her family. The so-called coward Angel did nothing wrong by trying to keep the values in which he has believed. He eventually returned from Brazil to stop Tess doing another mistake but also because he loved her and realized that he may be wrong. Self-improvement, something which Alec didn't know how to do. There are many parts of the story which we have to take in consideration, but unfortunately, you were looking at Alec just from one angle. By now his actions speaks for him. His thoughts did not match his actions and he also came to a sense of what he did to Tess far too late. (in this case, he raped her without any senses, so don't say that the lack of values is better than putting your values as a worthy human in the first place). They are alike in the sense that both realize far too late what the effect of their actions does to Tess, but in terms of who loved her more, you'll have to be a masochist who likes to be abused to say that Alec did love her because he seemed to seek redemption and then do otherwise than he said in his pious sermons as a minister. Faggot.
Alexandra Maria, Hardy stated in an interview that Tess and Angel were doomed to unhappiness; if there had been a different outcome, Angel would have returned to type, throwing Tess's past in her face. So Hardy didn't think much of Angel either. That's why Tess told Angel to take care of Liza-Lu, hoping that they would fall in love; she knew how much Angel valued purity. Angel may have been the lesser of two evils, but he wasn't much better than Alec.
Because d argument is going so deep and the two sides of criticism are equally strong , I don't know if I can comment upto ur superior levels, but what I think is that we shouldn't forget-when this novel was written, it was the victorian era...many opinions are still unchanged though...now also raped women are treated as social outcasts . Clare and Alec...represent two kinds of men,one who doesn't respect a woman's choice(forcing himself on her ) and the other who has a orthodox mindset of how a woman should be pure(irrespective of d fact that he himself isn't ).One who uses her showing a path out of poverty, other one who forgets her and lives her in misery for his mental peace (when he could forgive her).Rape in no era was considered right but want for d so called purity of woman was once considered right, now things are changing but still at times we find justice reserved for the rich and rich thinking that they can do anything with the poor like Alec did... Clare was right as per Victorian mindset that is why Tess forgives him but the satire is- he wasn't right as per humanity or moral conduct, showing the hollowness of Victorian beliefs and customs. I once read Where Angels Fear to Tread by EM Foster which made me really sad about the perception of women by d society ...Now also, Often a Tess is used by a Alec but now a days...no more Clare escapes from his responsibility to love a woman without taking into account if she is a victim of a heinous crime...
I love this song
sooo hoott! i love this video with this song:)
It's lovely, Becks!!
I've only seen the A&E version. This one look so good!
magic...bravo!!!
Poor tess
I love this one :)
Love it.
Why everyone love Alec's character? I haven't seen the serie but I've read the book and I've hated him so much!
she's uninvited. she's invited herself into a dangerous upper class mans house. perspective. its him singing these lines.
tess isnt stoic. shes an uneducated proud farm worker. trying to please her family. shes an emotional wreck. shes naive. desperate to please. thats not her fault though? she calls her prem baby sorrow. she matures and wisens through the novel.
good one
Willikers! Depressing!
Can somebody tell me where can I watch the full movie.. I have been searching.
is it a flag on the flag pole?? i havent really seen much, can someone tell me what happens?
Aren’t they distance cousins ? Sweet home Alabama
What is the name of the song?😃
uninvited-alanis morissette
She should have chosen Alec!!!
I can't believe ur statement...A rape victim's marriage with d culprit...Alec should have been punished...Just because he is a rich man and he can support a woman and her family, he can't just do anything with her...
@@SM24456 it just goes to show how ppl are messed up even now. Gosh what a thing to say.
