Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, short story writer and screenwriter. He was best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age-a term he popularized. During his lifetime, he published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. Although he achieved temporary popular success and fortune in the 1920s, Fitzgerald received critical acclaim only after his death and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.

What a pity the music is so loud in parts as to almost obliterate the narrative.

@melissavancl_2090 2 года назад

I'm new to your channel, but am overjoyed that I found you. I'm not a writer. I'm a reader. Will start watching all your videos. Thank you.

That's okay, both are welcome, so welcome to the party! Enjoy the docs.

Yes me too. I am also glad I'm here now. Thanks for these!

As someone deeply in love with a long-standing, epigenetic alcoholic, I appreciate your tenderness with this great writer. Thank you for this fine bio.

@lyndawilliams4570 Год назад

Praying for you and your special someone Kara. It can’t be easy 🙏🏽❤️

I wish you well, I really do. But, FSF was not a good husband -- his alcoholism caused him to be cruel to Zelda (and steal her work as his own). 🇨🇦

@donna7338 2 года назад

At the beginning of this docu the narrative incorrectly says he was born in 1894. He was born in 1896.

@yevaburshteyn6938 Год назад

It's sad that many celebrities wih problems like Fitzgerald get recognitions after theirs death. Love this documentary ❤️

Interesting documentary apart from the distracting background music

@DanHintz 2 года назад

nice work. one thing: you must learn how to mute the background audio on the video clips that you are inserting into your productions--often such audio is too loud in the mix and is making it difficult to hear/understand your narration. otherwise, keep up the good work!

@tombrown1898 2 года назад

No mention of Scott's sister, Anabelle. We never hear anything about her. Mary McQuillan's looks are better appreciated in our time than in her own. Grace Coolidge was the same way.

When I was in my twenties, I read all of FSF's fiction, and I've read "Gatsby" many times through the years. I've always considered him a very talented writer. Recently, watching an interview, I was surprised to hear William Styron say Scott was his favorite novelist. This doc now joins two others on RU-vid, "Winter Dreams" and "Sincerely, F. Scott Fitzgerald," narrated by Jay McInerney. All are worth a look. Thanks, Paul. Best of luck with your novel.

@AuthorDocumentaries 2 года назад

I'm in the same boat and it's a good boat to be in. I've read almost all his fiction and he's my favorite novelist. Apparently Styron won the first Fitzgerald Award at a literary festival they hold every year in Rockville, MD. I rewatch "Winter Dreams" once a year. Great docs. Thanks about my novel, John. I'm actually making it evenly patterned like Fitzgerald did Gatsby and intended for Last Tycoon. 🍸✍

@elizabethbrauer1118 2 года назад

"Sincerely F Scott Fitzgerald" is fantastic. Not a classic bio, but McInerney gives a deeper look into the man and his letters - especially with his daughter Scottie. Very well done.

@julianterris Год назад

An excellent overview of the life of one of the world's greatest writers.

@maryfyrr 28 дней назад

Perhaps, but there is hard evidence that FSF stole the life experiences, personal letters, and storylines of Zelda, and claimed them as his own in his novels. Sorry. 🇨🇦

Please provide subtitles ..or captions....it's really helpful for net aspirants...

@melaniemetcalfe3354 2 года назад

Thank you. I've got 2 of his books. I shall read them. Tender is the night and The last Tycoon.💝

@sheilasmith7779 2 года назад

Unfortunately, Fitzgerald did not respect money, or cultivate gratitude for others. And alcohol wrecked him.

@elizabethbrauer1118 2 года назад

background sounds like waves + ragtime music are drowning out narrator

@levimatthew8911 2 года назад

Good quality doc. And I'm a snob about such things.

@joanodom2104 2 года назад

"Not very pretty?" Why is that relevant? I think she was very attractive.

@joanodom2104 2 года назад

His mother, I mean.

@tmcd237 2 года назад

@mesidonaa 10 месяцев назад

For an author who is very enamoured by and concerned with beauty and aesthetic it is relatively relevant I guess. What is your criteria of relevance on his life then?

@egonrhoodie2745 2 года назад

The Great Gatsby remains a classic the clothes made a comeback in the mid seventies 😇🙏🎉🎊

Born 1896 not 1894 . Facts matter .

@bttrflygal Год назад

I like the info ..the music not so much.

@peterchaloner2877 2 года назад

Lose the music! Speech alone is best. Do not need ragtime piano, nor surf, nor klaxons ruining an otherwise excellent presentation.

@stefanschutz5166 Год назад

Didn’t bother me at all.

@robvangessel3766 2 года назад

I'm more interested in his father's story than the buildings they lived in.

@terry4137 Год назад

Smfh😂

@hazelwray4184 Год назад

The buildings are part of the father and sons story: relating to social status and class, not architecture.

All the fighting and drinking could not possibly help Zelda

@royalmason1539 Год назад

Not a word in this video about what made Fitzgerald the brilliant writer he was.

@martinezhughes4077 11 месяцев назад

Definitely needed more of this for sure

I LOVE the music - it adds so much to the story ❤

@thejacksonsferenclisztlisz3364 2 года назад

I play piano, Gee, all I could say is : Yours Sincerely . Fitzgerald Scott F a man of Destiny and Forever a Genius, unfortunately I am not a genius ! I'm just not very brilliant. I never have been, Ido things aesthetic and other because I just fill time.

Wasn't Fitzgerald's dad an alcoholic?

@kimrobbins8957 2 года назад

So this did not tell me shit about Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald!! Please people please go to another site! It’s just so more informative they were so eccentric eclectic geniuses and they were insane but that would make this great and made them great what’s the biographies so beautiful and tragic all in the same time 🙏

@SandfordSmythe 6 месяцев назад

There is a biography out on them that absolutely savages them. It seems to be well researched. I won't name it because it is not nice.

@alexcarter8807 Год назад

Higher education in the US is very different to how it's done in the UK. Sports are extremely important, especially (American) football. You can be a complete dunderhead and if you're good enough at football, you can emerge after your 4 years far wealthier than you went in, and without having learned a damn thing. Your exams will be taken for you and you will get good grades, and you'll be held in high esteem by everyone from the rawest freshman to the Dean himself. For more on this see a documentary called Forrest Gump. There's quite a large grain of truth in it.

Yes,get rid of music. Just because people back then had to hear it is no reason we have to!

@christopherp.hitchens3902 Год назад

“She was not very pretty”? What a bizarre, irrelevant factoid. Like commenting on her choice of hats, this says more of the maker of this video than the woman. What does this have to do with anything?

@antidelusionalpeeps Год назад

You missed the point. This is not his personal judgement on her beauty. Back in the day she was just not considered pretty but she was "good enough" to marry because she was well-tempered. This notion of beauty/money/temper is described a lot in classic novels.

@christopherp.hitchens3902 Год назад

@@antidelusionalpeeps - This comment was made by the narrator. If it was relevant to this story, I must’ve missed it. See my point: If he had made a comment on the size of her breasts it could not have been more stupid.

@vitoruffalo2576 4 месяца назад

Why would they say that about Scott Fitzgerald?

@fwboring802 2 месяца назад

Very good biography but way too much ragtime music. Ragtime had pretty much given way to jazz by 1920.

@royalmason1539 Год назад

This documentary seems down on F Scott Fitzgerald. "He was lucky enough to make a friends with fine minds." I doubt it was lucky.

@yevaburshteyn6938 Год назад

Good biography of writer Fitzgerald. But actually reading books about his life, by his daughter Scotty would tell more about his ,lifee

@nativevirginian8344 3 месяца назад

Okay overview of Fitzgerald, not the best. They got his birth date wrong and Zelda’s last name was Sayre, not Sale. Fitzgerald is absolutely worth reading. His writing is like champagne versus the beer of everybody else. Beautiful ringing crystal versus dull glass. I read a lot, especially classic literature, and Fitzgerald’s prose is absolutely the best. Glorious. If angels could write they would write like Fitzgerald.

Very superficial commentary. ~ Contemporary visuals > why? You just want the color instead of the real atmosphere. ~ Lousy, really.

Yeah, it was so awful you watched the whole thing. Yk, the content is free, someone took the time to download it and there’s a whole world of choices so go look for one that meets your supercilious standards. Move on.
