Looking for Richard
The Chinese title of the movie "Looking for Richard" is also translated as "Looking for Richard" and "Looking for Richard III", and the foreign name is Looking for Richard. The film is basically a record of Al. Pacino and American actors rehearsed the entire process of Shakespeare's unpopular play "Richard III." Through a large number of street visits, people understand how unfamiliar the younger generation of the United States is to Shakespeare's plays, which also explains the motivation of Pacino's decision to make this film. A series of discussions on casting and reading the script is like interpreting the "Li" drama to the audience, and deeply understand the background of the time and the psychological motivation of the characters, so that everyone can quickly enter the situation when they appreciate the formal performance part of the drama within the drama.

Al Pasir walked through the dark aisle backstage to the curtain. One moment he was a modern actor wearing an inverted cap and a black coat, but in the next shot, when he walked from behind the red curtain to the stage, he It was another person, hunched over his back and limping, standing guard and questioning. However, there is only one person in the audience, the object and creator of his interpretation - Shakespeare in Victorian costume. This is where the film unfolds, from street...

On the importance of overexertion
This is the story of a Yankee seriously trying to make Shakespeare well.
Richard III's bizarre plot and how complicated the relationship between the characters can't surprise me too much (I've seen this kind of goldfish disease that I forgot to watch again. Richard III only remembers Buckingham is really a lunatic, Shakespeare too I’m mad at me), how to make Shakespeare’s dramas resonate more widely is also a cliché, and I actually secretly hold a rebellious view in my heart: give... -

It's not Richard that matters, it's "seeking"
1. Narrator
Our revels now are ended.
These our actors, as I foretold you were all spirits and are melted into air.....
...... into thin air. ......
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision ...... the cloud-capp' d towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself...
Ye all which it inherit... shall dissolve...
And , like this insubstantial pageant...faded...
leave not a wisp behind.
We are such stuff... as... -

Recently, I saw some absurd and pretentious forced "cute" in some internal entertainment talent shows. I suddenly remembered this documentary I watched a month ago. The real cuteness can't be pretended. Pacino is quite a lovely person.
When I marked this movie as "watched", I paid special attention to the number of people, and I was the 1000th. A little useless sense of ritual.
To ordinary people in English-speaking countries,...

Drama and film are undoubtedly the highest forms of human performance art, but is the drama better, or is the film one zhang higher?
Drama has a limitation, that is, it must be performed on the stage, and it is impossible for the audience to see the live version of the drama at home (except for TV), which also determines that the popularity of drama is much less than that of movies.
Another weakness of the drama is that it can't have too many scenes. Have you ever seen more...

It has a strong sense of form and can be called a performance art. Although Pacino's original intention of making this documentary was to help more young people understand Shakespeare's plays, I was even more confused after watching...

I waited three years for the subtitles. However, due to my coldness to documentaries, my understanding of Shakespeare, and my appreciation of dramas, as expected, I did not finish it. Wow ha ha ha ha...

Crazy old Pa, focused and strong, and Winona in the play, her acting skills have improved, and she still looks like a little girl when she's quiet. Although it's a half-record, it's pretty...

Al lifted the curtain and saw Shakespeare sitting under the stage, and after a while, he said "fuck"! I knew they would get along! If "Richard III" is a "protagonist play" specially produced by Shakespeare, then Al is more appropriate! Richard is a speaker, a conspirator, a killer, a tyrant, and an actor. Al stepped on his footsteps step by step. After 400 years and 6,000 kilometers, Richard asked him to find...

Kevin Conway: In a contemporary play somebody would say: hey you, go over there get that thing and bring it back to me. That would be the line. Shakespeare says it: be Mercury set feathers to thy heels and fly like thought from them to me again.
