Very cool analysis....As an actor, this is one of the two Shakespeare plays i actually performed in a number of years ago, lol...(With the Michigan Classical Repertory Theatre)....i played Autolycus in this show (who, as people watching this video might notice that this character is not mentioned, because technically he is not crucial to the PLOT directly, but definitely indirectly...and also used a comic relief (with the Shepherd's son (Clown)) and used as an exposition dump in Act 5 when the characters ALLLL move back to Sicily with Perdita and Florizel!)....it's Shakespeare's only tragi-comedy I think and definitely unique in his canon....:D Very fun to play in and re-live it through the analysis of the show!

What a great video, thanks

If there is one thing about the 1974 version that really irritated me - aside from the slow pacing - was how the revelation of Gatsby's fortune and the anti-American Dream theme were muted by the screenwriter. Not even the 2000 version is guilty of this. Remember the Plaza Hotel scene? I thought both the 2000 and 2013 versions did an excellent job in adapting the scene. Not so the 1974 version. This could have been a first-rate confrontation between Gatsby and Tom if director Jack Clayton and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola had not cut it short by having Daisy running out of the hotel room, screaming her head off. And why cut off Nick's comments about the illusions of the American Dream with a scene of the Buchanans leaving the U.S., accompanied by the song, "Ain't We Got Fun"?

I have yet to see an adaptation of this novel that really impressed me. For me, the most impressive aspect of the 1946 version was the cinematography. Otherwise, I think it's a bit overrated. The handling of the adult Estella was disappointing to me.

I am 62 years old and I retired at 59 1/2. I have never been a reader, but I wanted to start reading classics. My daughter said I will read them with you. We have read 16 books so far and my favorite is The Count of Monte Cristo. We have read Anna Karenina also, it was good, but we couldn't understand why so many people think it is the greatest classic of all time. My daughter said let's not read to very long classics together again.

Is the fact that there is no escape from the death of the son, Mamillius, no atonement for this tragedy, something to do with the loss of Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, who died aged 11? Just a thought?

I MISS YOU, you were my gateway the current topics in the literary world and a break from reality. I always feel like I'm behind on what's happening in books since you left! I've always been super fussy about booktubers until you were the only one I still watched. Hope you and your family are well!

Thank you, I appreciate you. Your joyous delivery reviewing these books is just so loveable, and sincerely passionate. Your face lights up, glows, and there’s a twinkling satisfied satisfaction to your expressive excitement. You have my complete and utter 😅 attention expressing a genuine love towards these stories. This moving quality oozes from narrations. That’s it!!! I am hooked and am planning to aquire these books for my personal book marathon reading sessions.

Nice analysis! Well done!

I loved the book and the BBC miniseries! The atmosphere was spot on and Matthew McNulty as Jem… well, I’d fight you to get to marry him tomorrow. I just wish they’d ramped up the mystery of who the big bad really is (since I agree that it’s disappointingly easy to spot in the book), rather than revealing it at the end of the second episode. I think that’s why the climax ended up getting a bit weird, with the shoot out and all, because they’d left themselves without anything to reveal. Still a great watch, though, and it compliments and contrasts with the book nicely. Thank you for making this fab video and series! ❤

what a beautiful woman you are

Interesting..The Bronte s themselves were Celtic origins---father Patrick was Irish,.mother Maria was Cornish? They seemed to attempt (well) to assimilate as English (though overt Celtic identities would have provoked English chauvinists against them. They already were initially wary of male chau vinism.

You don't plays are not meant to be read

Hope you and your family are doing alright. We had our son in September 2021, so not too far after you had Edith. In the last month or so, his speech has taken off like crazy. Several new words every day, putting together multiword sentences. It's such a delight to see him actually be able to express his thoughts and wishes.

Hi , I hope you are good . we miss you

I agree about all the stuff you said, but I think comparing our salves does sometimes help so we can be realistic about our position in life. though, yes it has its goods and bads, but mostly it is effective, however, comparisons can be used to either help one self or utterly destroy it; that is the reason why competitive games make people put all the hard-worke to do their best of them.

This was so inspiring. Thank you.

AAH! A Scottish person in London. Bringing culture to the world! :)

💕

I miss your book reviews Lauren! Hope you come back soon :)

Planning my own move so thought it a good opportunity to watch this old gem. Honestly, when is it not a good time to rewatch some Laurenwade content x

No Fear Shakespeare for me. I need simultaneous translation 😅

She's beautiful Lauren. I wonder if she'll be a redhead?

im only fourteen, and i’m always worried because my grades at school are great, but i hate every single subject 😭 i only study because i dont like stressing over school

You were right !

She talks soo much that it rather overwhelms the films. And you get only stills and tiny bits. Yyyaaaaawwwwwnnnnn!!

You actually did what I requested! I am gobsmacked!!

There's also a modern Indian adaptation called "Fitoor", which is based on "Great expectations". You should check it out as well :)

As of now the third part of Pullman's trilogy is soon to be put out on the BBC. i don''t have a date but trailers are appearing on YT.

Mulligan is also in 'The Great Gatsby'. Heavy hint there.

Love this thank u❤

My sister and I did all 7 walks during our trip to London this past May. It was lovely to have this guide to central London. I cannot express how much I truly appreciate you making this series and hope you will show us more walks in the future!

Read 'Wild Sargasso Sea' by Jean Rhys. It's Bertha''s back story.

7:27. It's George C Scott. Watch 'The Hindenburg' and 'Patton'. He is brilliant in those films.

love this review!!! put it into words beautifully :)

Great effort ma'am

How did you preserve your wedding bouquet? I'd love to do soemthing like that, getting married in march next year xx

Thank you so much for this

Thank you so much for sharing! I am so happy I found this tag! I enjoy watching BookTubers of all ages, but have struggled to find any closer to my age. 💕

Oh how sweet! What a lovely gathering! I wish i could do the same with my ladies. It's fascinating to listen to you. Please make more of these on other topics.

Tom Hardly and Charlotte Riley fell in love making this movie and are married to this day! Swoon.

Heathcliff was definitely not black--as mentioned, he was part Roma(Gypsy), if anything. He is written as turning white several times, which would not have happened if he were black. This renders the story totally inaccurate. Heathcliff would not have been able to earn a fortune or charm the upper classes so readily if he'd been black back then.

Loved your comparisons! Didn't even know there was a Christopher Reeves version. Now I have to find it. Hey, this is one of the most recent adaptations, mini-series style. Would you feel inclined to review it? I found it was well done. What are your thoughts on this one: ruclips.net/video/acFldAIYz-M/видео.html

My fav versions are '95 and '08.Movies and mini series are two different animals. It is hard to say which is better by comparison. Though, I think mini series are a better way to do an Austin adaptation. The cast in '95 is wonderful. I loved the screen play and always enjoy watching it. However, I also love the 2008 mini series so much. First, we see the true nature of Willoughby in the opening scenes. Then, we get to have the scene steeling Anne Steele who I loved, she was such a hoot. Also the male characters are fleshed out a bit. Edward and Elinore get to kiss in the end. This version also has a wonderful cast. I don't care much for the other versions. I enjoyed your observations.

So, I am seeing your review many years after this video came out. However, I have to tell you that the 1995 version is my favorite. When Elinore asks Marianne, "do you compare your conduct to his" and Marianne says, "I compare it to what it ought to have been, I compare it to yours", I always start crying, don't know why really. I just think it is so sweet how Marianne comes to appreciate her sister's sensibility. The bond those sisters have is just so touching. Of course, when Edward comes back to Elinore at the end that is a big waterworks moment too. I have seen this movie so many times I have lost count, but I never get tired of it. Emma did an amazing job on the screenplay of this movie and definitely deserved her Oscar.

I thought Brandon and Willoughby didn't like each other when they met from the get-go because Brandon knew of Willoughby's bad reputation and Willoughby knew that. So, Brandon distrusted Willoughby before he knew of any connection with his ward. I would have to re-read the book to confirm this, but this is the impression I had.

ruclips.net/video/9yRSY8xDnAw/видео.html That's my favorite adaptation with my favorite Anna in it. There's one great romance in the book - Kitty and Kostya. It's beautifully done here.

Have the book but haven't read; however, I love the 2015 version. Gabriel Oaks is just too charming and sexy.
