Yulin Kuang監督による、全米50州から50組の同性カップルの結婚映像を集めた約4分間の動画がYouTubeで発表されました。ナレーションにシェイクスピアのソネット116番の朗読を使うというアイディアに脱帽。
以下、Shakespeare Onlineより、ソネット116番を引用しておきます。
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
日本語訳はGoogleで検索すればいろいろ出てくるので、お好きなのをどうぞ。
