This was my comment on the condition of the tape of Carmen I got from Amazon, the class that I mention was my rebuttal to Carmen. I explain in that class that I loved the sound track to Carmen but I was surprised to find that the translation revealed the evil side of women in this movie. I think the reason why heaven blessed this with such good music was in the song by Mary Poppins, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down". The truth can be a bit hard to swallow, but this well done movie was the first time the evil side of women was so clearly conveyed to me. My rebuttal to the evil side of women is told better on my first class, (#1a at Vimeo), but the last class sums this movie of Carmen better.
Dear Mike Libby,
I got the tape in a few days and copied it to a dvd (it came in perfect), so I could record a class over it. That's class #127x12 at MikeOversonEndTimes-org. I talk about Carmen and show a few scenes of it in the first 30 minutes, you can tell I recorded over that tape at the very end (at 2:08 minutes). It was a perfect tape to record my "LAST CLASS & GOODBYE" on. (Because the evil side of women has ended the magic and wisdom heaven was sharing with "the one" to share with the public through these classes, and that made Carmen the perfect tape to record my "last class & goodbye" on). Thank you that it was in such good condition. (Class 127x13 is a 53 minute summary of 127x12 that I did for Vimeo, under MikeOversonEndTimes.)
I just looked at every review of Carmen and didn't find one by Leonard Maltin. However John A Furner's review: "Maltin's Carmen review is brain dead" was right next to my review. Being "the one" I've learned about the evil games they play on the internet to discredit, mock or slander what I'm doing, and this is an example of it. Fortunately for me, God has a way of complementing the things I do, and that includes even this movie review I did of Carmen. Before I tell it, I'll provide the instant knee jerk reaction to mock me and that is: "U R so vain!". That was the "Final Cut Express" I got on 10-12-09, (mocking me as U R so vain), that caused me to record "MY LAST CLASS AND GOODBYE" over the tape of Carmen the next day on 10-13-09. The amazing complement I found was in the lyrics to the song "Daniel" by Elton John. Though I've only seen (and loved) Spain on a tour video and in Carmen, I believe the lyrics refer to my premature death, that's from God ending my classes and my life soon due to "no thanks, no pay and no respect". As it says in the song: "Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane, I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain, oh I can see Daniel waving goodbye, God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes... Daniel my brother you are older than me, do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal, YOU'RE EYES HAVE DIED but you see more than I...Oh I can see Daniel waving goodbye, God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes".

Bizet's masterpiece CARMEN
I have watched-would you believe it?--Bizet'sI have watched---would you believe it?---Bizet's masterpiece for the eleventh time. Really, every time I watch Carmen I seemed to myself more refined; so patient do I become, so happy. The music seems perfect to me. It approaches lightly, supplely, politely. It is pleasant, it does not sweat. Bizet's Carmen music is subtly fatalistic; its subtlety belongs to a race and to a culture, not to an individual. It is rich. It is precise. It builds, organizes, finishes. Finally, Carmen opera treats it audience as intelligent. I become a better human being when this Bizet speaks to me. Also a better listener.___I actually bury my ears under this music to hear its causes. Has it been noticed that music liberates the spirit? Gives wings to thought? Bizet makes me fertile. Carmen's music is cheerful, but not in a French or European way. Its cheerfulness is not provincial; fate hangs over it; its happiness is brief, sudden, without pardon.___How the yellow afternoons of its happiness do us good! And how soothingly the Moorish dance speaks to us?Finally, l'amour-translated back into nature. L'amour as fatum (fate), as fatality, cynical, innocent, cruel__and precisely in this piece of nature. That l'amour which is war in its means__I know no case where the tragic joke that constitutes the essence of love is expressed so strictly, translated with equal terror into a formula, as in Don Jose's last cry, which concludes the work: "Yes, I have killed her, I___my adored Carmen!"(I have experienced the annihilation through music and the salvation through drama___more powerfully in Carmen's work , and I have never been able explain [my own reaction]. So Carmen work have somewhat clarified for me the most powerful impression of my life.)
