Brian Blessed makes the movie the most English thing I have ever seen. He seems like the type that would not only make a great monarch but also be the guy to knock back a few pints with. Or twenty.
Arlington Road kept me on the edge of my seat. Will have to see if it’s streaming anywhere tonight, I would love to see it again knowing the ending and all!
I wrote an original Harry Potter play for my former primary school. I used Derek Jacobi's role as the narrator for inspiration for the Hogwart's ghost to narrate my play.
oh geez.... the music, the dancers, the guys even the scenario.... is all soviet vintage era! what it caught my attention is that even the video is a commercial for Aeroflot you can barely see in the center of the wall a pretty small picture or poster with an Aeroflot airplane.... Def back then those reds have no idea on how to make a decent TV commercial..!
Saw him on the stage in Equas He came to the edge of the stage. I was in the second row: blonde and young. Felt like he addressed his whole speech directly to me Unbelievable experience hearing that voice. God ! He was ALL MAN
It's interesting coming to this scene after watching Henry IV Part 2. Would Henry V have shown such mercy to the drunk fellow who spoke ill of him if he, as young prince Hal, hadn't been amongst drunkards in his youth? He knows men can say ridiculous things when they've a few drinks in them that they regret the next day. Had Hal have been a pious prince then that imprisoned guy may well have got the chop. Also, might his anger at the traitors be a kind of projection? He betrayed his pal John Falstaff (though that was the wise thing to do) and feels immense guilt which he can't show or acknowledge. His angry words to Massam are almost what he feels about himself.
Yorkie here.. I LOVE my county more than my country. If someone asks "where you from?" It's Yorkshire, not Leeds. Love the Northumberland flag btw, almost Basque. Beautiful countryside. 👋👍
