Loved his fantastic performance in "The Shout"! I also enjoy hearing about the multi-layered strata of people's lives. It's so comical now, but so many people needed to hide their "other lives", either because of inner pressures, societal laws and expectations, or of religious dogma. So happy we had Alan Bates in our lives. Bless him. Thanks!
I can't stop thinking about 2 wonderful works of art acted by him. first unforgettable " Women in Love " adapted from D.H.Lawrence's masterpiece. second poignant " Mayor of Casterbridge " adapted from Thomas hardy's great work.
These liars really annoy me. Fake stuff through and through. How dare they? Anyway. LBTQ rights are a recent thing and not all gay people agree with them let alone fight for them.
@@madamedellaporte4214 What's recent to you? Fights for rights started in the 70s, grew more intensive in the 80s and continued into the 21st century. Are you a spokesman for gay people? The large majority of LBTQ+ people support rights for their community.
Three minutes in and already four errors - he did not play the lead in Look Back in Anger, was not in A Taste of Honey and was not Oscar-nominated for Zorba or Georgy Girl (only for The Fixer). Dismal research.
Had he not hidden his homosexuality, he would have been arrested and he wouldn't have any carrier at all. So was the law in the kingdom of her majesty. Was it not?
This doesn't seem right. I dont think Alan Bates had ever heard of LGBT because it didn't exist in his lifetime did it? And surely he was bisexual not homosexual
Err. You obviously don't know anything, but I wouldn't expect anything else of a right-wing troll who has posted twice under different names. Activists began to use the initialism LGBT from about 1988. It didn't magically appear some time in the 21st century. Gay rights activism has been arround since the late 60s.
@@ianjones7488 "you obviously don't know anthing" is the nursery school language (baaah you dont know nothing my dad tells me....." ) used by those who do not like discussion and who are not good at it. I don't think that I have posted in you tube under any other name than the one I am using here. Please tell me what the other name is which you think I am using. I am fully aware of when "gay rights" activism began, since, probably unlike you, I was alive and followed the news when it happened. I maintain that Alan Bates had probably not heard of the ugly abbreviation LGBT and if it was used from 1988, most people had not heard of it before the new century. It certainly did not magically appear, I agree with that! It is another cry by a tiny minority planned sponsered and encouraged to distract attention from serious issues such as population immigration agriculture autarchy remuneration equity crime. Above all it distracts from globalism and runaway immigration. Are you by any chance related to Owen Jones who reported on the spot at the Labout Party Conference when Jeremy Corbyn was still leader and spent 10 minutes in his 40 minute talk and interviews on the not very interesting or important subject of LGTB yet found no time to enquire about Labour's policy on agriculture housing the environment et al?
@@thesithempire1348 Not a question of thinking, I know they did. I remember their being used (with the exception of transgender which existed I think but was unusual). However, I do not recall the liberal elite buzz word or can one say buzz expression LGBT which did not exist as a concept movement in his lfietime and I am fairly sure Alan Bates would not have heard of LGBT LGBT is a cause for the affluent left to divert attention from subjects which really matter to millions of people, namely unemployment, poor education, massive immigration, population, health, outsourcing, collapse of industrial jobs, environment, insecurity, public transport, health isnurance and health systems, industrial agriculture, inflation.
@@MrYorickJenkins Oh, in other words, you're saying that the persecution and denial of basic human rights to gay and transgender people don't matter; they're not even real; that's just something rich liberals came up with to divert our attention. At least you've made yourself clear. But for the rest of us who care about people other than ourselves and don't swallow the kool-aid of Fox News, Human Rights Watch reported that in 2022 attacks based on gender identity were up 32.9% from last year, while attacks based on sexual orientation are up 13.8%. The FBI’s report noted that there were 1,947 recorded incidents relating to an alleged victim’s sexual orientation in 2022. But I guess all those reported attacks and murders were made up by lefties.
