DVD Reviews of Edgar Allan Poe Classic Compilation: The Cask of Amontillado and the Tell Tale Heart
DVD Review: Really brings classic "Poe" to life
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD as an experiment with my class. Since i wanted to try and present Edgar Allen Poe's works in a more palletable format for student's more accustomed to watching things on TV or the internet, so obviously anything which presents the classics to them in a more engaging format is a true benefit. Both for the student and the teacher. When the DVD arrived and i had a chance to look it over, i was slightly skeptical that it would be a faithful rendition of the classic works, but i was pleasantly surprised. The presentation method is excellent, they really draw you into the story and make the classic tales come to life right before your eyes. And it is done in 100% unabridged format, which is a huge plus in my eyes. As in too many occasions, these DVD versions of classic story's tend to be lackluster chopped up versions, rather then a true retelling. Which brings me to the music, the music enhanced the whole "feel" of the story, matching the mood and tempo of each part of the story in an incredible fashion.
So earlier this week i had told my students we would be studying Edgar Allen Poe for the next couple weeks. I was met with what could best be described as an unenthusiastic reaction. The following day i brought in the DVD, which alone got their attention. And within moments of starting i could see it had their full attention, remarkable in a class full of teenagers. You could have heard a pin drop almost from the time the DVD started till the end. I asked them afterward what their opinion of it was, and they agreed that it was by far better then reading the story's out of a text book. A few even said they were so drawn into the story they forgot that they were doing this for school and geniunly enjoyed it. Imagine my surprise at hearing that from my students. They were very eager to hear whether i had anymore of the dvds to show them. Needless to say, i have already ordered the rest of the series and plan to continue using them in my classes as they are great material.
I highly recommend this to any other teachers trying to provoke an interest in these stories to their students. Its well worth it!
Overall, 5 stars and a huge thank you to the folks at Taletube!
