Am I losing my mind, or is everything he's saying been said a million (more or less) times before? I was expecting fresh revelations. Not to say he's not intelligent nor well spoken, but ... is this the culmination of a lifetime of work on Shakespeare?
It’s fun to listen to her charming Mississippi accent become attenuated over time in the interviews. Walking into Bennington College (New England) for the first time-she probably made a striking impression on everyone.
This documentary is so well made! So engaging and put up in such a charming way... the best i have ever seen as far a shirt biographical documentaries go. Amazing work. How many of us would wish to still have material made up like this about relevant and interesting people
I too often get a certain pedantry & forced intellectualism in this interview. I like more plain-though not in the least simplistic-speech. Just my criticism.
Shakespeare s easy,,, Borges is challenging,,,, check out Borges EVERY THING AND NOTHING,,,,,, its really good it's about when Shakespeare retired in 1613 3 years before he died,,,,,, err a bit random to mention, but rember mike yarwood the comedy impression ist ,,, mike had a nervous breakdown at the end of his career well Borges hints at Shakespeare s mental state like yarwood having to create lots of characters,,,,, yes Borges is challenging,,,,,, im an Advocate for Shakespeare,,, im a tour guide ar the new Shakespeare playhouse in Prescott ,,,,,, err something to think about well Shakespeare in 1580 when he was 16 got a job in Preston as a schoolteacher 😂 reading can be hard work but stay with it and have fun 😂
