- A contrarian and wickedly funny man, "The Education of Gore Vidal" explores Vidal's extraordinary life and work, joining him at his cliff-side villa in Ravello, Italy.
such a great documentary on mr. gore vidal. i enjoyed the entire thing and didn't mind rewinding many times to soak in the words, facial expressions, his house, etc. would so much like to get any glimpse of vidal's view on life, humanity, etc. i can watch him again and again and never get bored. the director has done an amazing job!
Loved Gore Vidal..He would hate what our country has become.....God help us find sanity
You are very missed Mr. Vidal💙
The guy was a one-of. Loved watching him on TV.
Imagine remembering the perfume that Mussolini was wearing! And JFK's tooth tapping while watching your play! Vidal remembered, and was curious. What a unique moment in time to reflect on people in history.
I miss Vidal greatly.
Great man. ♥️
If he could look our current - ongoing organic - stupidity in the face, he would adorn it with a perfectly unruffled remark of summation. But he would also burn with patriotic indignation. How he
welcomed the battle of Life. I love the story of the New York cabbie who, dropping him off said ' have a nice day ' to which Vidal laconically responded, 'no thank you, I've made other plans'.
21:29-21:55 How relevant these words are right now.
@37:15 Gore Vidal reading Christopher Hitchens' book 'Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the public sphere' --- it has two essays on Vidal 😀
Bloom on point-00:57'
Change is the nature of life and its hope.
Ya see, there is some use to these empty comment sections for old, once loved, Great, documentaries: I can run my cathartic narrative thru them and react where no one will ever know. Psst! It's our secret. Gore Vidal, what a charmer. He came from and wrote about a slice of life when it wasn't the life that mattered, but the writing. Isn't it good he was a great writer. Speaking of which, in that world I get to enjoy being a, "failed writer", as I come from the generation who grew up in front of the TV set and stopped reading anything with 500 words or more. Hell, for the vast majority of us, if we can't get the gist within the first fifty words we stop reading. No wait, that's being too generous, fist twenty-five words. Most would call it ironic, but I think its hilarious, that if you follow the lineage of Gore's acerbic political commentary, he fostered the cultist's of Donald Trump.
8:23 WHAT!!! I wonder what was built on top?
Nice little gaff. If you enjoy that sort of thing.
Did the old queen prefer pitching or catching?
Do you?
um
