They sure do have a lot of them there, and the quality is great, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if they had one room reserved for showing three-dimensional films only. I wonder if my local theater uses a silver screen to show 3-D movies. I wonder if the people who use the term even know what it means. The term surely has lost its meaning, since every single reference I hear to the silver screen these days refers to modern Hollywood. Surely theaters that have these must show old films from time to time, since that is where the screens got their start. If I ever come across a theater that has an actual silver screen, I will definitely watch an old film there. Watching them on another kind of screen just won’t have the same effect. Thus, his works provide practical moral and spiritual instruction for the human race.It’s a shame that I will never know exactly what those old silver screen movies looked like. His knowledge of human nature is such that he explores the depths of emotions and humanity's sense of itself. Shakespeare's plays are comprehensible at nearly all levels of understanding. Shakespeare's Moral and Spiritual Legacy (03:21) Excerpts from Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo and Juliet" demonstrate the vitality and "rambunctiousness" of modern adaptations. This silver screen accomplishes this best. Shakespeare in the 20th Century (03:37)Ī critic argues that the best Shakespeare is that which is contemporary, without "doublet and hose" costumes and sets. The publication of the First Folio in 1623 enshrines Shakespeare in literary history. Shakespeare dies at age 52 in 1616, having been the most popular playwright of his age, yet he could not have considered that his plays would survive to the present. Scenes from "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" dramatize this concept. The omnipresence of death shatters Shakespeare's world, yet he attempts to confront death in his plays without the consequences of religion. In "Hamlet," one can see the birth of the modern psyche, and a world in which individualism and a deeper consciousness emerge. Shakespeare's intellect and art are shaped in part by Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and the essays of Montaigne. Shakespeare: Consciousness and Psyche (04:25) Kenneth Branagh attests that Shakespeare has the ability to deal directly with the heart and can cause the souls of the audience to soar. It is through Shakespeare's language that the true emotions of lovers reveal themselves. His vocabulary includes over 20,000 words, many of which he invented. He is at the forefront of the English linguistic explosion and is credited with inventing one-fourth of the English language. Shakespeare writes in a time of great political and cultural expansion.
In the sense that Shakespeare's dramas shakes up the social orders, it can be seen as subversive art.
It must entertain both the groundlings and the intelligentsia, and Shakespeare writes for both. Theater has a double function in old London. Shakespeare and the Globe Theater (05:50) Performances like "Titus Andronicus" competed with other thrills such as public executions and violent bull and bear baiting spectacles. At that time, the theater district was a colorful, yet mangy, and unhealthy place. In the 1580s, Shakespeare moves to London's theater district as an actor and playwright. An actor performs part of a monologue from "The Merchant of Venice." London Theater and Culture of Violence (06:01)
He provides both sides of every argument without making judgments. Shakespeare's grammar school education provides him with an incredible founding in the art of arranging language for persuasive effect. Shakespeare, the world's most important and comprehensive playwright, is performed in many languages, portraying "most of the things that matter to most human beings." Shakespeare's characters remain alive to audiences, yet the man himself is somewhat of a mystery.
