I recall watching the opera Wozzeck. Scary stuff. From the way I see it, Expressionism was like the echo of all the screams of the dying in the first World War.
Wow, perfect upload timing. I have an essay on expressionist film due at the end of this weekend for my university film history course that I've been suffering with writer's block towards, but this gave me tons of inspiration. Time to go write a killer introductory paragraph.
I’ve been waiting for this Spring Awakening reference for so long, yes! Please bring it back for something with Deaf West later when we get to musicals, because deaf representation is cool
@@crashcourse Phew, I just scoured through all the episodes, thinking I must have missed it. I teach drama and wanted my students to watch it... Looking forward to it!
heh. in charge of bavarian ssr for a red hot second. also i believe at 7:12 you possibly mispronounced it. Wheezywaiter pronounced it in what i'm guessing is the original french in the movie series.
@@qwertyman1511 Mike read out loud Christian Grey's dialogue for Dan Olsen's "a lukewarm defense of fifty shades" series. The last installment was published at about the same time as this.
He's also severely butchering the name Van Gogh. If you asked for what he's saying in the Netherlands, you'd just get a bag of liquorice. Venco is a popular brand. Don't people do any research before making a video?
@@Marco_Onyxheart buddy chill. Crash course does a lot if research for every episode. Just because he doesnt say "VAHN GAUCGH" or however you pronounce it, doesnt mean the facts he presents about the man are wrong. Thats a fallacy in itself.
EXPRESSIONist types in america all went to Europe to express, Gordon -Craig was love of isadora Duncan the 1st expressionist dancer. it too bad you didnt combine the dance-theater in Germany n France as part of this section, n new cinema-art. but over al OUTSTANDING exposer to the nitemare of pre/post WW I on the western world...life informs art
See you brought up American expressionism and Eugene O'Neil but you continue to ignore Susan glaspell who inspired Sophie Treadwell stop erasing this women she was amazing and was a mentor to O'neile i am so angry
Why can people making videos never research how to pronounce names correctly before talking about them? It's Van Gogh, not Venco. There are letters. They're supposed to be pronounced.
The person who decided to make Crash Course theater should get the world's most awesome nerd ever award!
Expressionist theater, the goth of the drama world.
The real question is how this series gets me emotionally attached to a strung-up fake skull.
I am also very attached to Yorick. -stan
No one truely knows!

Amazing, and perfectly uncomfortable show.
By Alban Berg wich I didn't know class test and now can never Forget..
every episode:
*Me:* _ooh, that's interesting_
*Mike:* _... but, we're saving that for [another time]_
Literally most of crash courses videos
See I'm pissed cause they keep beating around Susan glaspell
this course has given more more information on the history of theatre than my theatre degree so far... big love

Ahhh. Mike is always here to make my Theatre Elective heart soar, even when I feel awful!
Watching these each week is one of my favorite parts of Friday night. :)
I've never been so interested in theatre before. Thanks crash course
I love the way he shoots out facts like bullets lol like a machine gunn
"Uggh, reality. Have you seen reality? Why bother."
Same

I’m sorry but “sentient skulls” is probably the best term for humans that I’ve ever heard.
*You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.*
You are aware this is a theater series not literature. 2/10 for loss of focus
I know this is theater and not movies, but I notice a style overlap between this and the silent film "Metropolis."
Metropolis is also considered to use Expressionist aesthetics, so you're right for sensing similarities ;)
Expressionism was huge in cinema too, look up The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
They're part of the same movement
loved the chair creek in the intro, nice touch.
Example of expressionist acting today: Nicholas Cage! He cites it as his number 1 inspiration.
"Curtain...but a weird one!"
YASSS! THANK YOU!! Thanks for not letting us wait😊☺‼❗
8:44 SOME OF THOSE WHO WORK FORCES-
Love that intro.
Can't wait for the broadway musical episode!!
This is my favorite of this series
I had to read Woyzeck in class, I learned that you really can get shizophrenie from Eating to much peas.
Expressionists do it grotesquely.
Mike great job. Clear, well written, and well spoken. Compare the other mealy mouthed rambling videos of others on RUclips.
When are you getting to Brecht and epic theater? Can’t wait for that episode!
Soon!
@@crashcourse Phew, I just scoured through all the episodes, thinking I must have missed it. I teach drama and wanted my students to watch it... Looking forward to it!
Also Beckett
Mike, it's going to more than a malfunctioning 135 to keep me away from you
Is Mike afraid of the dark? I like the Van Gogh connection to expressionism theater
Just THANK YOU for all your great work :-))) Not even a theatre buff, but muchly enjoyed nonetheless.
Great video i‘ve been waiting for a long time for! Thanks
Crash course should do a series on law!
But hey! That's just a theory!
A drama theory!
Love this series.
I studied "Hairy ape" in one of my uni courses,it's really interesting ❤👏
Love this channel ❤️🔥🔥
I'm really surprised he didn't mention anything about Kandinsky in this video!
Interesting video :) But what a weird combo reference to the music group Aqua and Queen at 7:56. And it was not that "Doctor Jones".
Educational!
What about the expressionist focus on the thought the world needs to be broken to be fixed, which made everything so dark
I bet he'll forget Eugene Ionesco too
Great episode!
heh. in charge of bavarian ssr for a red hot second.
also i believe at 7:12 you possibly mispronounced it. Wheezywaiter pronounced it in what i'm guessing is the original french in the movie series.
Do an episode on absurdism!
Nice intro
This is a long shot, but I was wondering if Crash Course has a link to "Truth in Error" by Strindberg
This is weird to watch right after watching "a lukewarm defense"
how come?

+radicalbacon ah, i got used to hearing everyone everywhere.
yay new video
I hate to be this guy but "mise en scène" is pronounced mise en "sayne" not "seen"
As said correctly many times in Crash Course Film History

No it isn't? Should be senn not sayne.
В школе нам рассказывают меньше, чем я узнаю на этом канале!
A lot plays are based "on actual murders" what's up with that?
Fernando Franco Félix Pulled from the headlines is a standard that predates police procedurals.
What about Edith Sitwell in 'Facade'?
2:37 Please does anybody know where this image is from??
SUSAN GLASPELL!!
He's just a floating head why am i uncomfortable
*Metal Crotch Guy*
Curtain... but a weird one.
Hoopla i'm alive

Why does everybody always pronounce Vincents van Gogh last name as: van Go? the gh in his name is a hard G. not a silent vowel
