My professor instructed us to read this multiple times, this is a perfect way to experience it.
voice acting and production was great. doing a story with such academic clout was smart too good way to get views. Hope you do well man.
Thanks mate! :-)
That was the most frustrating thing I've ever listened to... I get how deep the meaning was, but how many times did he say how simple it was. 😭
the girl felt numb at last,in contrast with earlier being irritated by the man's words. so sad. I can feel it almost the end of their relationship.
"Four reales" is actually said by the woman/waitress. "Reales" are a type of Spanish coin, and she's telling the man and the girl the cost of those two beers.
I swear the dude sounds like that guy who is in every video game.
He sounds like Steve Blum, exactly!!!
It's Gianni Matragrano, so yes it is that guy.
This is so good. Thanks! I'll play it for my students tomorrow after they read it tonight.
Amazing! Thanks for that AnnMarie! Hope they enjoy!
I agree, this was sooo awesome, although I do not know what I just listened to.... hahaha.... what does he want her to do??
what is this anime level of voice acting, its great lol
i like anime ha
this gives me fiction podcast vibes I love it
thank you! :)
I think he wanted her to get an abortion and that they are discussing their potential child. “Of course it does. But I don't want anyone but you. I don’t want anyone else”, "I know others who have done it and they are happy now".
This was great! Wish all Hemingway’s stories could be narrated like this.
thank you for this video! It helps me a lot about my activity! ❤️ I feel how emotional Jig is, in this story.
i really like this story thanks for uploading
Oh my god, this is awesome man!
The girl sounds like Miranda Cosgrove
Great job. Need more short stories read like this. Like a movie for my brain
they played this in class and I IMMEDIATELY recognized gianni matragrano! he did well for this recording
Is it me or does it kinda feel like Bioshock Infinite with Booker Dewitt and Elizabeth Comstock vibes XD
I was thinking the same thing!

Gosh, what a huge time saver! A whole 45 seconds, thanks!

The production is WAY better than the story.
Thanks for that! However, there wouldn't be a production without the story itself!! :-) thank you Hemingway!
I like this
How did you convince Duke Nukem to voice the american?
He's an actor colleague of mine who's worked on same projects before.
markiplier is reading this to us, so kind of him
What a tragic and hopeless story
I like heming way. She is a sweetie. Remind me of the wornder years

Hemingway was a brute a male. This story is about an abortion. Hills like white elephants. Put two and two together.
What is he wanting to do I'm so confused
same question here
Y'all are really dense lol

I don't get it either was is an abortion or something
So much easier to understand with dialogue
@Emma
I genuinely had no idea what on earth they were talking about, thank you for explaining.
Abortion with masculine assertion to have it. Fine show of Male manipulation.
@@wicketuma444do you think that he is pretending to not mind if she wants to keep the baby?
@Emma but if she was pregnant then why was she drinking beer
LUCANXNIIKAAAAA
What did the guy want the girl to do? I don't understand the story.
I think he wanted her to get an abortion and that they are discussing their potential child. “Of course it does. But I don't want anyone but you. I don’t want anyone else”, "I know others who have done it and they are happy now".
New title idea hill's like white elephants (ASMR edition)
what is the music called?
I believe it was a stock old school 1930s music track from Freesound dot org.
i dont understand this stroy whats all this talk about doing it they talking about relations or something lol? but the acting is great
Abortion
08:10
OMG Steve Blum is that you?
so its all about abortion?
I have to write an essay on this comparing it to Sonny's Blues can someone help please?
Nia Barner my first advice is read both texts in full, the second is don’t take any advice from people on the UA-cam comment section.
Why was doom guy in this?
Hahaha! Doom Guy (aka) Gianni Matragrano is an AMAZING voice talent and colleague of mine whom I had the honor of having a part of this project! :-) Definitely go support his UA-cam channel! ua-cam.com/channels/jWsE9cjRu5gImk99yFhwVg.html
@@stephenj.penavo3812 Holy cow I've been subscribed to him for a few months now for the memes. I made the initial comment before I even subscribed to him and I only listened to this for school. Small world I guess. What I coincidence.
@@elijahmitchell-hopmeier182 so cool! Small world indeed! :)
"The man called 'Listen' through the curtain. The woman came out from the bar.
'Four reales.'
'We want two Anis del Toro.'" (p. 212, The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway). Why does the waitress say "Four reales"? Spain replaced the reales with the peseta in 1868. Does she really mean, 'for real?' And if so, what is for real?
No it’s four reals
for realsies?
i dont get it
Bright Midnight he’s making her get an abortion
With the kind of alcohol he's pouring into her, an abortion is where she's heading either way
Mairo tinha que ter colocado esse
I dont fucking understand
Felt this
Any time you don't understand a story find an analysis on UA-cam :) They help me a lot
"It was hot" - Earnest Hemingway, how this dude famous?
Part of Hemingway's whole thing is that he didn't use flowery language.
At least he could spell his name correctly.
He forces you to figure out what's going on based on the sparest of detail. At least that's the idea, I gather.
He wrote to put the reader bodily into the story, to better understand the subtext. The heat, and the waiting for the train the man cannot see coming are symbolic of the pressure he feels with his girlfriend’s pregnancy.
Lol relationships suck
Jesus Christ! Really. Music over the words. What genius decided that was a good idea. Hemingway doesn't need your help. believe me.
Abortion
murder
You’ve misinterpreted it, it’s about an abortion, not murder. =)
Abortion is the worst type of murder.
@trumpet4life524 what about the murder of older, sentient children in abusive homes as a result of being unwanted and left with abusive parents or put in an abusive foster home or with abusive relatives? When before the child was born and able to experience the abuse, someone could've said "there is no safe place for this child in the world" and stopped them from being born before it hurt?
@ajbethel6910 are you numbskulls seriously arguing over something you can't control 😂
Can't really understand whats so special. I don't get why Hemingway doesn't explain what's going on. Even knowing what's going on through context clues this isn't an interesting story. The voice actors don't do a good job at what the real emotion of this situation. meh. I'll try some other Hemingway but to me very boring and obvious promotion of degeneracy.
The story is about abortion. The title and the call back to white elephants is about The White Elephant in the room. “A White Elephant in the room” just means an obvious truth that’s so embarrassing and undesirable it can’t be addressed. Thought the story the man is coercing the “the girl” to get an abortion after getting her pregnant. He even makes allusions she’s not the first woman she’s gotten pregnant. Throughout the story he calls her girl instead of woman because he doesn’t truly love or care about her. The short story of you wanna get deep is about how the “girl” has no power or say with her pregnancy. Even when she asks him to shut up or go away, he doesn’t and she relents because of her situation. He has all the money, he speaks Spanish, and has their luggage and possibly their passports.
This is actually one of my favorite Hemingway stories because it talks about abortion and kinda puts you in the shoes of the girl. The conversation is very passive aggressive and harsh coming from the man.
