Why did this simple video become so popular? Why does it catch women and even men so much that it is sent out in instant messengers, and the number of views is growing day by day?
This video touched many to the core and went viral. Sergey Parokhodov, aka Mr. Litvinovich, aka Sergey Thomson, aka The Big Nothing, reads Tatyana Morina’s poems “You are the sea” in front of the camera.
A direct look at the camera, nothing more – just a voice. And, as one of the commenters writes: “How does he do it!? Speaks directly to the soul. Looks straight into the soul through the camera.
The reader Mr. Litvinovich is talented and artistic. But why exactly did this video go viral? Sergei Steamboats brilliantly reads the works of other modern poets and classics. Why does the poem “You are the sea”, which is not ideal from the point of view of literary criticism, evoke such a lively response?
Perhaps it’s all about the accuracy of the hit. Raising children, every woman experienced the experiences and excitement that the text describes. Fear, despair, fatigue, irritation – and annoyance for being annoyed with herself because she is not perfect. We recognize ourselves in every line, in every letter.
And here a real miracle happens: when they speak to us the way the author of the video does, we seem to receive support. We feel understanding and acceptance of ourselves. But this is what all mothers need so much when something goes according to plan, when it is difficult to cope with the situation, when you break down, and then get angry at the world, at life, at yourself …
Users leave comments with thanks under the video: “God, I’m crying! I’m so tired, but I’m the sea, not the rock. Thank you, thank you so much!”, “Mom will be the sea until her last breath. Kudos to the author and performer. I didn’t think that a man could feel the way a mother feels. To tears … “,” I have three sons, this is incredible happiness and great exhaustion. I will repeat this verse like a mantra!”
At a difficult moment, when we freeze in stress, breathing almost stops, muscles are tense and the body literally turns into rock, we need to find a resource in ourselves … And then we can really feel like the sea, visualize it, merge with its image. Calm, affectionate – and at the same time filled with inner strength. Boundless, like a mother’s love. But it, as you know, sometimes worries. And this is absolutely normal.
