The tale of the doctor who defied Death - Iseult Gillespie

Dive into the German tale of Godfather Death and his godson, the doctor who tries to master mortality.

--

A husband and wife were in despair. The woman had just given birth to their 13th child, and the growing family was quickly running out of food and money. Wandering into the woods, the father encountered a skeletal figure with sunken eyes and a gaunt face: this was Death himself, come to offer his services as Godfather. Iseult Gillespie tells the tale of Death and the doctor.

Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Yael Reisfeld.

" All people are equal in the eyes of death " what a line.

"We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one."

Death: *sitting at the foot of the bed*
Doctor: Uno reverse card

[axolotl.]

This guy’s voice is so mesmerising, and I cant look away from that magical animation!

[rupontiroy]

Imagine them travelling together and they see a sick person and death is just like:
I CALL DIBS

[aMissAdventure]

"But he was so moved by her grace..." (just after they animated her puking out of a window onto his head)

Death probably just likes scented candles.

Husband: *snatches child out of wife's hands.*
Wife: Hey what are you doing?!
Husband: Well I just made a deal with d e a t h and he offered to take care of our child so I accepted.

the little butterflies holding the princess' hair while she was throwing up was such a cute moment 😊😊😊

[aadi]

death: sits at foot of the king
man: casually flips bed over and heals him
"Sometimes my genius, it''s almost frightening"

[siriyadla]

Well this bought a whole new meaning to *"So you have chosen death"*

If anyone is wondering what this is from, it is a short story named 'Godfather Death' one of my favorite tales. Without knowing that this video is the same, i clicked it and watched seeing how they were the same. Very deep and beautiful. C:

"all people are equal in the eyes of death"


Death: * only wants the lives of royals *

[zititan]

Why does Death looked so cute when he is at the foot of the bed in this video? 😂😂😂

[bella]

4:08 doctor: so where is Queen Elizabeth’s candle?
Death: oh, it’s in the back
*_see’s massive 90 foot candle burning brighter than the sun itself in the back_*

[winterlstorm]

When you realized that if even the doctor didnt broke rule and let the princess die, he would still die by king's orders

[ajmeraprakash]

"All are equal before death"
Also Death: so, like how long do you want to live
Queen Elizabeth: *Yes*

[yourcommentmightnotworksop]

"He could not trust in some one who judged human life"
But death see no man.

Beautiful

[otxchy]

"all people are equal in the eyes of death"

Also Death: *cats get 9 lives*

[burntburndog]

"The doctor wasn't the first to try to cheat death"

Joseph and Okuyasu: _allow us to introduce ourselves_
