![What You Don't Learn In Film School - Shane Stanley [FULL INTERVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VBcQVQ2ZaMI/mqdefault.jpg)
"i got drunk."
"oh i got drunk again"
LOLLL RELATABLE THIS IS WHY IT'S MY FAVE EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE REASON U HATED IT HAHAHAHA
omg 😂
I feel like you connecting to Starfish and understanding why Chloe loves it is the PERFECT example of how literature makes us more empathetic, compassionate, open-minded humans. This was so sweet and wholesome ♥️
💛💛
my heart is so FULL 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Love you and love Starfish! Exactly us having a bestie book!
"If We Were Villains" takes all the best parts of "The Secret History" and cuts all the "extra" or repetitive parts. I personally like the Shakespeare theatre school setting more than the Stanford setting; and I think the cast of characters and their inter-relationships just worked better. They all knew each other longer and more intimately than Tartt's characters.
Oooh ok! I do own that book so I may give it a go!
exactly you being a tom-anti we hate that guy!!!!! I LOVE YOU i'm so happy and proud of you now and always xxxxxxx
Ye he can… 💀 love youuuuuuu
There are references after the Introduction probably because this is a Classic, so there are many studies on it and the publisher probably asked a specialist to write an essay on The Great Gatsby, hence the enormous bibliography. This is very common for good editions of Literature classics. The problem is that these introductions generally have spoilers, so it would be best to read it after finishing the book ✨
Oooh ok thank you!
I feel the same way about classics. I don't know what is going on and I end up re-reading everything over and over. I prefer listening to the audiobook of them. I feel like I can understand everything better.
audiobook definitely helps me too!
not the cut from the clever "all to well" diss to you saying "so I'm switching to the jake gyllenhaall audiobook"
😂😂😂
We love Kevin in a chaotic mood with his Ariel bookmark 😂😂😂❤🧜♀️
Also, Starfish is literally one of my favorite books of all time. Such a stunning book💕💕💕
It’s just such a good book 😭
“I just hope u r happy.” Kevin- that comment just might make me cry. Ive had a ROUGH week that has followed a rough year. You and the fellow powerpuff girl squad have made me feel less alone and ur videos have gave me something to smile and laugh at. Thank you. Cant wait to watch the rest of the video to see what u thought of the books!
I’m so sorry to hear you had a rough week. Sending you lots of love your way 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
@@kevinkelly_ Thank you so much
When I read classics when I don't want to work my head I tend to just read the words without thinking and laugh at weird sounding words while reading them in the worst Accents possible
Omg 😂😂😂😂
22:44 I really hope you'll find 💫happiness💫 at some point of your life. You deserve it! For some people it just takes longer but it's not just a fantasy! As someone who've been struggling with depression for half of my life I can attest to that 🌠
Thank you so much for this comment 💛
You've convinced me to pick up Starfish tonight! And that green tie-dye top? Stunning! 💚 hope you're enjoying London
Omg I really hope you love Starfish!!!!!! 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊
Oh I read the Secret History in September and I felt the same ! Like, first and up until the "Henry reveal" I could find it interesting but after that it went downhill and downhill.. yeah much of the dialogues were useless and none of the characters were likeable or interesting 😥 the whole mess with the twins too 😂😂
Anyway, love you Kevin hope you have a good day!
No Kevin, I hope YOU are happy 🥺
Of course you chose the Gyllenhaal 🤭
I'm glad you enjoyed Gatsby.
I need to read Starfish asap.
"Who said books were allowed to read" 🤣 another epic saying from Le Kevin.
I’m still disgusted at myself for choosing the Gyllenhaal audiobook. Taylor would be so disappointed in me 😭
I've been looking at buying 'Starfish' over the last few weeks and now I def need it!
I love that you enjoyed the great gatsby ❤️❤️❤️ first of all defo watch the movie with Leo you will see the characters come to life even more.. and also The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo is a recent great gatsby retelling from Jordan Baker’s perspective and it’s STUNNING (with LGBTQIA rep ❤️ and it’s really easy to read)
Ye I need to watch the movie soon! And oooh thank you for the rec!
I really think you'd love If We Were Villains, it's often compared with The Secret History but it doesn't have that divide of atmosphere TSH has from the middle to its end. I'd love to see a vlog where you read If we were villains.
I just read Heartstopper and it is something I needed in my life right now. So, I can really relate.
omg I’m so glad you enjoyed Heartstopper!
@@kevinkelly_ So I just read all the available Heartstopper books and the Nick and Charlie novella... I'm hooked. I loved them so much. Have you read the novella?
I'm not protective of a lot of books but I definitely am about Starfish. I loved how much you connected with it! It's such a special book!!
It really is!
Hi Kevin! I totally understand your view on classics. English is not my first language so it was really intimidating. I started out with a few that were just too difficult, but I've slowly been making my way through more and more literary fiction and classics. I started with children's books like Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan and went on to a few that came up a lot in videos with titles like "classics for beginners". To me, it's 100% worth the effort but I do understand that it isn't for everyone! Love your videos ❤
Starfish!!! Yeah! Everybody raves about summer bird blue but I found starfish to be just as good if not better.
The author also wrote Hailey in the sky which is quite good if you’re interested in checking it out 💛
I need to read all of Akemi Dawn Bowman’s books now!
'who said books are allowed to end?' so real! and looking forward to reading starfish. gatsby is one of my favorite classics, so i'm glad to hear your thoughts on it and i read it for school in high school and university and loved breaking it down in class oh too much haha
hope you love Starfish! I’m really glad I liked Gatsby too!
I felt that way about reading classics too now it’s like smart or not I’m loving them 😂
omg love that!
6 hours and zero dislikes. YES KING
💛💛
Been waiting for this since I spied in the girl's vlogs what you've been reading!! Can't wait to watch 🥰🥰
Hope you enjoyed 🥰
I have actually read "Starfish" too 😊
did you like it?
@@kevinkelly_ yeah, I did and much like you I related to Kiko's character and I loved the drawing descriptions
I had to read Gatsby in high school years ago and didn't like it. I think it was because I was forced to read it. I need to read it again because I think I would really like it now.
I never read it in school, I read it in my mid 20s and I hated hated hated it lol. I was bored. And I am someone who really loves most classics. If you do read it I hope you have a better experience than I did lolz
@@JulEnglefaris I probably won't read it again. I go back and forth. Lol.
Ye I always hated when I was forced to read something in school! It ruins the experience I think
Relatively new subscriber here. I really enjoy your videos ❤️
Thank you so much!
Loved this video 😍
P.S.: Are you planning on doing any more reactions to The Vampire Diaries?
thank you! I’m not sure tbh! 😅
I wanted to download the app it sounds really cool, but unfortunately it wasn’t available in my country😥
aw no! If you have an iPhone, you can change your location to the US App Store and get it that way 👀 there’s a tutorial on UA-cam!
@@kevinkelly_ Ohhh! Good to know, I’ll try that, thank you!!😃🙏🏻
Hello. I hate to say it but the only person I liked in The Great Gatsby was Nick Carraway. I didn’t like Gatsby at all.
I only really liked Daisy tbh, I found the others interesting but I don’t love any of them!
Well I think he had plagiarized his wife soooo maybe that's why we have the bibliography lmaoo jkk idkk👀👀
Have you read dorian gray? If not i think you'd enjoy it except it does have some difficult vocabulary 😉
Wait but since when does Gyllenhaal narrate audiobooks😬😂
I had no idea about that situation with his wife!!!!
if youve read harry potter youve read dark acadamia
Woohoo I'm here before a 100views 💃
💛
you are a taylor swift stan first, huma second
Literally 😂
I am super proud of you for reading a classic and getting some enjoyment out of it ☺ if you want to try a scandalous classic read...check out Moll Flanders..the language style will take some getting used to..but the shit She does in this book will have you clutching your pearls honey 😉 🫖🧋
Tbh I wouldn't think twice about skipping the introduction XD
Haha mood 😂
hey
Hey there fella, how's the kids?
@@kevinkelly_ a pain in my butt as usual, ha! but gotta love em. hope you're enjoying your time in ireland. make sure to take lots of piccys!
You're not alone about The Secret History. I somehow finished the whole thing but it was insufferable to me. Not gonna lie.
glad I’m not alone 🙊
I would love to see a reading vlog of you reading the Off-Campus and Briar U series and your reaction towards it
I'm moving to Vermont for my husband's work soooooon, going to live my best Secret History life
Omg love that for you!
Wth is that copy of The Great Gatsby. I've never seen a bibliography in any other edition of that book before
i read Starfish freshman year of high school but will definitely have to reread as i forgot a lot of stuff that happened in it. also i feel now, i probably would relate to it more than i did then.
I didn't like the secret history I read it back in july just couldn't get into the book
Hi Kevin, I really wanted to thank you because I just recently bought Heartstopper and it is the absolute best. The comic is really inspiring at the same time it grabs at my heart and I love it. I can't thank you enough so I'm sending all my love and prayers. (sorry I know this is kind of unrelated to the vid)
Omg I’m so glad you loved it!!! 💛💛💛
I love it when I find a fellow Secret History hater! I gave it 2 stars as well.
Oohh really???
Hello, fellow " the secret history" hater, i literally despise that book. Though i get happy when I find someone who also does.
@@shivangibajpai9346 I just thought it was super pretentious.
F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of Taylor's favourite authors. And Happiness from Evermore has notes of Great Gatsby in it.
the fact I forgot that detail…. who even am I anymore. I feel like a fraud 😭
@@kevinkelly_ Don't worry, we have our own lives to deal with too. It's okay.
Watching this video has just pulled me from my reading slump and now I'm gonna attempt to finish City of Lost Souls and Empire of Storms this weekend! TYSM!
omg yesss! you got this! hope you love both of them!
I’ve heard SUCH good things about starfish!!
It’s so good!!!
Loved the book cover of Starfish . The book is new to me ! Need to check it out❤
If you end up reading it, I hope you love it!
Zelda Fitzgerald wrote most of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott just stole it from her. Her story is one of the most tragic and heartbreaking.
Omg I had no idea, I need to read up on that!
I actually didn’t vibe with the great gatsby. We studied it In leaving cert and like I enjoyed it but I know if we hadn’t done the more in depth look into it I wouldn’t have liked it half as much (which is saying something cuz I gave it 3 stars)
I feel if I studied it in school I probably would have disliked it! I hate mandatory reading 😭
Here's a couple book series for you that you may like. I read them all in high school 10 years ago (...cries) so there maybe nostalgia blinders on though lol.
-Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr
-Gemma Doyle series by Libba Bray
-Need series by Carrie Jones
Thanks for the video! :)
I may look these up! Thank you!
Kevin did you feel that Nick was in love with Gatsby because i did the whole time, i researched about it and IT IS an ongoing debate that he was or not, though I am going to believe he was. It is the only good love story in it.
I didn’t feel that when I read it but now that you’ve said it…. I can’t unsee it!
The Secret History is my favorite book but I can understand people not liking it. Glad you found a new favorite book through this video though. :)
I’m so glad you love it!
I love your immediate reaction at pulling off a smart comment it's literally me
😂😂😂
The 10 minute version of All Too Well thanks you 😅
cannot wait for that version to drop!
Omg I just cried because of what you said from minute 22:30 I felt that so bad
I understand completely the feeling
Maybe I need to read this book now in this moment of my life too lol
If you do read it, please let me know your thoughts!
@@kevinkelly_ definitely I will!
me waiting for you to mention the secret history : 🧍♀️😁✌️
😂
