I am having a whale of a time watching documentaries about Byron and the Romantic poets. God bless the Internet!
This is absolute filth not art. The host is vulgar and vain
@@carmenstclaircopeland2407 😆 OMG you don't get it. Lol! Hahaha ha! Hilarious!
@@fairwitness7473 yes I do get it. Byron was like that. But this is not classy by any means to say slang words for body parts in an educational video. I maintain he is vulgar but that is 1st amendment
S, Same Here! Mouth open! Jaw dropping! Screams of laughter! A little aroused! Etc..! Etc...! Etc...!
I understand exactly where you are coming from! It was a great DOCU!
I'm having a laugh watching this guy. Has a bit of vanity though.😁
Wonderful documentary, at the age of 71 I am still as fascinated by Byron as I was when I discovered him in my early teenage years
I feel you, Helen! LB never gets old🤗 I even had to name my cat after him. 😻
That's so cute! Is it British?
@@helenf.glover7403 oops, is he a troublemaker too??
Missing here is the fact that Shelly’s wife’s stepsister was only 17 when she birthed Byron’s daughter. Foolishly she sent the baby to him with a nurse. He trotted the baby around in his carriage then dumped her at a convent. She lived only to five, dying of typhus after never seeing her mother again. Clare and the Shellys begged Byron to let the baby return to them, but he kept her from her mother to Claire’s agony. Byron had a clubfooot, was probably angry at women and acted it out against with his cruel “love” as of poor over romantic writer Claire and their poor baby.
Yes, sympathy to Clare. It was horrible.
Unfortunately Byron is another famous person who is not what he puts off to the world. Nothing romantic or loving about him at all. Another misfortune is how it’s prevalent in society nowadays to behave in this way no matter how far down into delusion (deny deny deny) a person decides to go. Never makes it normal.
The Shelley's and Clare lived like vagabonds. Byron wanted his illegitimate daughter to have a decent life that a convent upbringing might secure. He had earmarked money for her dowry. Sadly, she died at age 5.
I love that lady at the end. "You dirty bugger! I can't believe he said that."
Nerdicaful And the other one replying, “Well, he can dream, can’t he?”
I'm getting old, I think; once I would have idolized Byron - don't get me wrong, I think he was a great poet and a fascinating human being - but my main takeaway now is, "Poor boy. So sad." Perhaps it would have been better for him had he died in Venice. I lived a wild life when I was younger, myself, and I used to think "die young and leave an attractive corpse" was a fine sentiment. But now I find I've grown somewhat attached to my corpus, as old and imperfect as it is. But I'm not going mad with syphilis, either, so ... it's a quandary.
! ❤
I totally get everything you said. My sentiments well expressed!
There is really only one thing that I object to as I get older, and that is the older I get, the more invisible I become. I can’t change humanity. It’s the human condition. But I now know where the “I will not go quietly into the night” comes from.
I'm getting old too, no syphilis here either *WOW*
And it's corpse
The fact that the Timeline Documentaries are uncensored and informative is quite fascinating. I also really enjoyed the Nancy Wake Story.
As someone used to documentaries that are cleaned up and sanitized of anything that could offend the most delicate of sensibilities, I am really entertained at how uncensored these are, and will definitely watch more because of it.
So the thing with timeline is that these documentaries are licensed from companies like PBS or the BBC, and published online. This one in particular is from ITV (Independent Television) from Britain. It’s astonishing how they are able to get these licenses and publish them on RUclips for free.
@@chrissampson2956 I agree. It's really fantastic to have free access to all these documentaries. My one complaint, though, is that I wish the description included the date the video was made. Instead I have to go digging to see how old a doc is and whether or not part of it is already outdated by more recent scholarship.
Was Byron a Lord in fact.
Sponsored by Adidas.
my preception of byron differs. it seems he did care about what people though of him, he was an abusive narcissist, who portrayed himself in a fake light. he probably would get frustrated by a therapist but only because they would be pulling back the curtain of who he really was taking away the false persona.

@@jedpumblechook2170 what kind of reply is that? ...
@@engulfedinfilth you cant call someone an abusive narcissist without reading anything about them - if you care to, read his letters, journals, then his poems. For a man who raped and beaten as child, then publicly shamed by lies from his wife - I think its incredible he still loved humanity and accepted all its flaws
Funny to hear Donatella speak on standards of beauty.
Yes, very ironic.
And her opinion of Byron goes even further into, "Huh?!" Every portrait I've seen of him (which must be many of the same portraits Versace has seen) all show a very good-looking man...in my opinion. Hmm....
@@jimduncan5860 I AGREE! 🤨! I so get your thought!
That is awful! 🤣
She does remind me of a Ninja Turtle
“You dirty old bugger! You DIRTY old bugger!!!”
😂😂😂
funny how at 24.24 min the whole conversation with the Versaces falls silent, when he says "psychiatrists are useless, they only listen"...
I guess they all have their own therapist..
Interesting film, but Everett makes a lot of assumptions. Seems like he's trying to mold Byron into HIS image.
i guess it is kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online?
@Chance Parker yup, have been watching on Flixzone for since april myself =)
@Chance Parker thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !

LORD BYRON WAS VERY
CHARISMATIC
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh God! This is so fabulously ripe. A gold encrusted bowl of exotic fruits awaiting the puncture of my teeth and the lick of my tongue. Lord Byron is lovingly massaged to life by a most perfect Rupert Everett. This creative coupling is almost too luscious to bear. Yet... I want more, more, more of its dripping decadence. I cannot stand it has come to a close. PLEASE... DON'T STOP UNTIL I'M SATIATED by BYRON and EVERETT. WHAT more could I possibly ask for?
in the 1970's Victoria & Albert Museum had an exhibit of Byron. I saw it.. they had the reenactment of his death scene- w/all the paraphernalia...bed..bedlinens.. etc etc.. quite eerie. & a huge painting with it. quite eerie.
Musee D'Armee had the same thing w/Napoleon's death scene in St Helena.. w/his casket that brought his remains back to France.. impressive ..gave me goose bumps.. and his DEATH MASK.
Fascinating and brilliant video thanks so much for the upload
I didn’t know much about Byron before but this documentary has been a fascinating look at his unconventional life.
This dude. What a piece of work.
😆😅😄🤣😂😀😃!
We greeks owe him gread respect because by being exactly what he was,he made our cause known to europe.Thus we got liberated.RIP GREAT FRIEND.
The love for Greece, the birth place of Western civilization, is still loved.
Although I knew of Byron's 'escapes' in general, this documentary gave me an in depth account. Really interesting. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Mr. Everett was the perfect presenter regaling us with great anecdotes, timelines and paints a vivid picture of Lord Byron throughout his tumultuous life.
My opinion of his work has not changed, but, yes, he was a cad, indeed.
I just adore Rupert Everett! Perfect for this documentary. 😁
Is it just my impression or he's hitting upon that blonde (around minute 15)? It would make so much sense that the two would-be voyeurs get united by their passion for truth...
My great-uncle's middle name was Byron. Named after Lord Byron by his grandmother.
Never saw his wife, daughter, or sister again. So much for Byron’s great passions. Also, so much for trying to shatter Calvinist upbringing by getting and certainly giving syphilis.
He was a prolific author but by all accounts he displayed signs of a narcissistic sociopath.
It is absurd to judge a tormented genius who was born in 1788 by modern standards.
Rupert Everett was having too much fun shooting this. I never saw this hedonistic side of him before. Lol
Rupert, what a good video, educational, entertaining with your unique style of narrating the facts.
Poor Rupert can't even go to a VD clinic without people pestering him for photos!
😮😆😅😄🤣😂😀😃😉!
Some people would steal his discarded swab if they could.
Excellent! Thanks for all the insights. "More please, " said little Oliver.
"Away, away, your flattering arts
May you betray some simpler hearts.
For you shall laugh at their believing
And they shall weep at your deceiving."
Oh, what fun! A most enjoyable documentary, thanks!
57 outraged father's disliked this video.
Fantastic documentary
What got in to Timeline to have this exhibitionist narrate? I loved every moment, but I hope Mr. Everett refunded his fee. No one should have this much fun.
😆!!!!
😃😀😂🤣😄😅😆! How True! 😮!
Fun was had by all.
A documentary on Lord Byron playing the role of Rupert Everett.
Is it just me, or do you also think this documentary hasn't understood a single thing about Byron and his opus ?
Oh, I think this is one of the better ones...Read his letters, you'll get a good picture of how complex Byron actually was. His friends adored but knew that he could, by turns, be both saint and sinner--sometimes on the same day!
yes- about every 2 minutes I found myself arguing with the screen! so many wrong-headed cliches lazily repeated - Edna O'Brien the worst of all! His most pronounced personality traits - kindness, generosity and empathy are nowhere to be found. Like everyone else, this fool is only (although he pretends otherwise) to be interested in Byrons trousers.
A crass sexumentary with a creepy host who quotes the "sherbert" line one too many times. 🥺
Strong and to your face docu. It must be watched!
Don Joo-an? What!? I thought it was Don "Whan" 😅
I liked the documentary, except the Versace part. You could tell from their commentary that they had close to zeros knowledge about Byron. That part unfortunately brought the quality of the documentary down for me.
It was more of Rupert following the footsteps of being with the social elite.
+Seana Maloney
In this case a poor choice then. In Italian society these people are parvenues! They probably couldn't seduce any real Italians of nobility or Society to participate.
@@globalman I don't think I was arguing the validity of their status. Thanks anyway.
It could be editing, but the narrator was the only one talking. He was there to talk about the aesthetics of the time, and what it was to be a celebrity / socialite in Milanese society. I wanted to hear more from that dinner.
Did nobody tell him that Juan is pronounced "Waan" and not Joo-an?
I cringed at that! 😅
"Don Juan" had to rhyme with "ruin" in the poem.
nah it's painful he's trying to charm everybody and failing, lots of fake laughter
Rupert Everett. He's quite entertaining.
He is!!😃
Interesting interpretation ✨✨✨
Byron was a classic narcissist. He quite hated women as well and cruelly took his and Claire’s daughter and dropped her at a convent, never letting Claire see her again. The poor girl only lived to see 5 years of age.
Byron was honest and did not suffer fools. Neither does Rupert Everett, the most understood genius actors of our time.
Thank you for sharing wonderful!!
Quite a figure on the world stage of that era.
Bunny boiler? Is that a reference to Fatal Attraction movie?
very enjoyable documentry.
Byron was a mere child at the end of the 18th century. His entire adult life was lived in the 19th century.
Claire Claremont is my fav Byronic lover
Very well made doc, all duly appreciated.
The ending was perfect, so was the summary
Rupert Everett needs to stop the plastic surgery now. He is almost 60 and he's gorgeous!! I hope he doesn't go circus freak like Donatella Versace.
Kevin Eaton To be fair this was made 10 years ago so he’s only 50:)
Byron is only charismatic to people under 50. Once you have seen enough of the world and people, you learn that it is indeed possible to have the most exquisite poetic gift, where a person can literally "sing like an angel" but have an utterly dead and contemptible soul. The fact that the two things can exist together is admitting astonishing and disconcerting. But the phenomenon is common. Sociopaths and malignant narcissists who seem so "interesting!" But they are just giant voids and human black holes. Byron is perhaps the greatest example of all time of this sad fact of life.
amazing narrated my compliments.
Psychiatrists don't "just" sit and listen. They do much more. Rupert has a gap in his education.
Great listen thank you. Im not sure you understand psychiatry though.
Is there a Part 1?
Yep
Gerry Houska unfortunately....
I wonder if this was filmed before Rupert got his bad plastic surgery?
This guy who is investigating this ..is a creep
loved it perfectly human presentation go Rupert
I’m not sure what to do with this documentary. Rupert sure doesn’t tiptoe around subjects !!!
Translation: Bunny Boiler- a woman who acts vengefully after having been spurned by her lover.
Wonderful film
He just mushed her face lol 14:46
A sexual prev and being portrayed as Hero only because was English! ? That’s so British!!
Byron boosted Greek independence from the Turks.
Did he go to Albania or didn’t he,cuzz we have documents that he did.
Armenian is the language to speak with God
-Lord Byron
Shades of Oscar Wilde indeed.
Is Rupert Everett mispronouncing Don Juan or are there two ways to say it?
Britain’s Treasures from the Air not available in my country? Easily fixed = unsubscribed.
happy Greek independence day lord Byron. our blood is your blood.
thank you for what you did for hellenism.
Why do the English insist on mispronouncing non-English words like "Don Ju-an" and "Jag-u-ar?"
Must they still appropriate everything?
I think he was brilliant, obviously likeable from the number of friends he had and ha a really great dry sense of humour. You made little of his life with his half sister. He adored her and it was mutual. Who knows if it was sexual. I doubt it. You can’t believe everything you read. The closest you get to truth is through letters. Life hasn’t changed. Closer to our time is the Profumo affair with Philip being sheltered , then Andrew on the private island. They will all come out in history. Let alone what happened in between. Let’s enjoy the poetry Byron produced. Brilliant.
In col,ege I took a class on Romanticism. We studiied Byron of course and the Byronic Hero. They did not give us a realistic view of this selfish, self centered man.
The documentary was very interesting literally at first sight; however, after a while the presence of the host has been too evident so as to think of Byron. A pity.
So, how did "Frankenstein" come about? Was it Laundnum, or something else that aused her to write it?
According to history, they were telling ghost stories at night. Shelley went to bed and had the dream of the monster. The next night she shared the story, amd had the best story of the group. Whether she had laundnum or other drug at the time, I do not think we will know. Hehe
@@alexanderdt24 TY
Excessive number of ads from beginning to end, frequently in pairs -- the ads invasion in RUclips videos is becoming a sickness...
Aren’t all these narcissists so fascinating? But only up to the point that you’re reading their life like a novel but don’t step into it. All the buzz and excitement, while nothing substantial beneath. Lucky all of us who didn’t get any close to him personally 😄 It would have been a disaster- as it was for many, who indeed got any involved with him, let alone fell in love with him.
I’m so grateful we have a definition of these type of people now and I can consciously stay away from them 🙏 💫
Rupert Everett. He is such a gorgeous and sexy man! Oh, and inteligent too.
SophyaAgain and despite what he said I’m sure he has a huge c###!
he's hilarious
I love you so much Rupert! You are one of the thoughtful, kind and considerate human beings on earth.
Ick.
Rupert Everett...intelligent, witty, suave, fascinating, great company, gorgeous and incredibly sexy....loved this documentary.
1:53, is anyone feeling violated ?
Really crass language and repetitive narrative.....
Lovely church ladies.LOL.
Joe Byron
Omg those bingo ladies rofl
Wonderful documentary 👍
Well
Sounds like Rupert Everett.
We just got mooned
Very interesting life. But I have to say is that your gorgeous Rupert.💋
Rupert is totally hotttt
17:07 beautiful
37:11 Beautiful.
I love how he is totally incapable of pronouncing Don Juan correctly.
V. B. He’s pronouncing it in the way Byron wrote it - with three syllables - to rhyme with words in his poem “Don Juan”
@@anniegetchergun V.B. is right!... Rupert Everett pronouncing of D. Juan's "name" is completely wrong!... "Juan" is a Spanish name and the "J" should pronounce like an "R": R'uan!... So, your claim don't make any sense, it's absurd and reveal a huge ignorance!...
-"He's pronouncing it in the way Byron wrote it"???... "Juan" pronouncing it's the same at Byron times as it's today!... And the rest... "Syllables" and "Rhymes" sounds completely absurd and don't have nothing to do with V.B.'s claim!...
HCosta Pintor Ummm no! You’re the one who’s wrong. Not everything in life is black and white - and poetry and prose is just one such example. Do some research like I did....and don’t call me ignorant. There is no need for rudeness.
@@hcostapintor7131 Byron actually wrote the name to pronounced "Don Ju-an". Yes, it's not Spanish, but then...neither was Byron.
@@hcostapintor7131 Rupert Everrit I believe can speak Italian pretty well, so I doubt he is incapable of pronouncing "Juan"

Not to be picky, but someone could have couched him on how to pronounce Don Juan.
Don "Yu-an"?!?! Rupert, Juan is pronounced "Hu-an" for someone who purports to speak Italian, I can't believe you didn't pronounce Juan correctly! 😆😆😆
Aside from the mispronounciation of "Juan" which made me cringe ever time, I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary.
I agree with many of the other commentators, Rupert is the prefect narrator for Byron's story.
Great documentary but the narrator is so annoying
Byron should have stayed with his daughter and wife instead of looking for trouble
Then that wouldn't be Byron and this program wouldn't exist?
With her father ever present, it's arguable that Ada wouldn't have become the great mathematician she was... Little decisions lead to untellable ends.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Exactly!
But troublemakers have the most fun!
