Raul Julia didn't know she would spit in his face and he licked it. They're both the best actors of their generation and if Raul Julia didn't die so early more people would notice.
My God...that moment at the end of her monologue in which he takes her hand and kisses her palm while she caresses his hair with her other hand is positively breathtaking.
Their chemistry off and on the stage was absolutely stunning. Such a convincing perfomance and probably the best version of this play I have seen. Beautiful!
They are both so excellent in these roles! Her hissy fit is epic! Reminded also of how breathtakingly beautiful she was (and continues to be). Raul is the perfect foil for her with his no-nonsense attitude and his heroic bearing. RIP. I am sad for the future virtuoso performances he no doubt would’ve brought were we not robbed of his presence by his early passing.
Raul julia was a gifted actor who could bring to life any character he played oscar worthy .meryl streep one of my fav of hers was Kramer vs kramer .incredible actress.
This is such an interesting interpretation, that Petruchio is throwing Kate's own aggressive attitudes back at her to show her how ridiculous they were. I highly doubt that Shakespeare and his contemporaries probably would have intended this interpretation in an age where women (unless widowed) were largely treated as property-I assume this is an example of us viewing the play through our modern lenses-but I think it's such an interesting way of looking at their relationship, and definitely makes sense in our modern age. Very interesting to juxtapose this against other interpretations.
I have been looking for this since 1981... once seen, never forgotten! It is impeccable, mesmerizing, passionate, fun - the best team for the play imaginable! THANK YOU for posting this!
I think the thing that people miss is this: There are a lot of trashy men out there, who would never deserve a wife such as this. But there are also trashy women, who make good men suffer. In this instance she learned how to treat him well, and going forward I can see their relationship being well balanced and one of mutual respect.
thanks for uploading this :) i wanted to see it for few years and now i am in play as katherina and it is helpful to watch the best actress in the world how she played it
+Streeper and Moonwalker She was better when she was young. She and I are the same age and I was also an actress in the 1970s. She was an idol of mine back then. A friend of mine, Joel Brooks, is in this film as well.
If the story make new character, I think it's so great and interested by young generation, coz according my reading of this story were very sweet and softly in love😘😘😘😘
Beautiful performance. It's really amusing how hard they try to convince us it's all about equality. When however you play it, it's still a misogynistic play.
Exactly it's about completely crushing her spirit and remaking her into what he wants by torment. She learned only to go along with everything he said and never cross him.
Joan Cusack это гениальная актриса. Просто улет. А Meryl's🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢💩💩💩💩 Бездарная, страшная , вообще не понятно кому она так приглянулась в Голливуде и в Белом доме и каким местом приглянулась...что из нее сделали вдруг" гениальную актрису" и навязали американцам? Нет там ничего в ней, за что вообще можно было зацепиться...ну наверное профессионально ноги раздвигать умела и стонать. Эти все ее выступление с Раулем Джулия на сцене...жесть...бедный мужчина🤣 ..ну прям другой партнёрши более женственной и талантливой не нашлось у продюсеров. Она все его спектакли портила.
This has always been my favorite direction of the play. This is my favorite Streep. Too bad that after this she opened her cesspool mouth and turned political. We pay you to act. Shut up and act.
