A Clown's Philosophy

- “When I was a child, I was fascinated by the spontaneity and the freedom of the clown,” says Reinhard Horstkotte, a performer who is profiled in Emmanuel Vaughn-Lee’s short documentary, Laugh Clown Laugh. Horstkotte embraces these virtues in his work as a clown. Over the course of his life, he has cultivated a rich philosophy of clowning-one that transcends sheer entertainment value. Read more:

It’s sad how they media made clowns something to be afraid about.
What if we can turn things around for the better and have the media make clowns something to care about, to laugh along with, and make them part of the fun and whimsey again? That would be brilliant.
@@reneastle8447 people need to write books, draw comics, stories about clowns portrayed in a good light. After all, the clown hate mostly started with pennywise from IT
@@Maber610 Amen, pal, amen, we can start by creating books, comics, stories, and songs about clowns in a positive portrayal.
Only The Fool can tell The Emperor that he's wearing no clothes. Only those in power have anything to fear from clowns.
Not true. American voted for Trump. They were clearly not afraid of the clown profile
I've always liked clowns, but this here - this is special.
Me too clowns are awesome
This is truly beautiful, deep and something I was looking for. I have no experience with clowns but lately I contemplated about the idea of what it means to be a clown. I felt intuitively that there must be some philosophy of transcending seriousness of life and the Ego. Coming back to the innocence, spontaneity and playfulness of a child, exactly like it was said in the film. Seems obvious to me now that there is such thing as a way of a clown - which is a spiritual approach to life.
👍❤️
If you love Robin Williams or Jim Carey then you know all you need
Hi, Daniel! How is it going with clown approach to life?) you wrote exactly what I'm thinking right now. I haven't find enough lightness in philosophy and now I'm asking myself: what if I be a clown?))
"Everything is important but nothing's really very serious"
That's beautiful ❤️
Yes...🥳🤗
I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch new movies online?
@Tristan Mateo I use flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Hunter Kaden Yea, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
“I think we all have the urge to be a clown, whether we know it or not.”
-Ernest Borgnine
This whole video gave me goosebumps (not out of fear) just the deep emotion and beauty of it all I've been fasinated by clowns since I was a little girl I'm currently 16 about to be 17 in March and before I get older I want to dig deeper into the history of clowning and I want to actually look for clown collages and really get off my feet and let my clown girl come out this video inspired me to achieve my dream because to be a clown means to be free of humiliation because isn't that the point of being a clown? being clumsy and silly to cheer others around you up?
Go for it!!!
This man and I have the same walk, the way he isn't set on a straight path, the way he hesitates when he steps on the barrier. I wish I could put my shame aside and be a clown, but I get embarrassed so easily, but then again maybe that could be an element of my clown side
If you feel it, play it!
Yes! And it gives you something to hide behind- it’s not you, it’s the Clown persona
This video is part of a playlist Ive made; the philosophy of the Clown as portrayed here is moving, poignant, beautiful. It makes me want to be more sincere, less serious, and to follow the clown call in everything I do through life. Make Art sing from out of my soul. Love from Florida, U.S. ❤️❤️❤️🤡
I would love to know some more of the things on your playlist. I’m trying to find balance, as well as
Clowns get a lot of hate and stupid comments despite their beauty, it's always been like that and I don't know how it would be if things change, maybe their beauty is hidden just for certain people to admire. Anyways, I loved this video, it made me cry a bit cause I love clowns, this is quality content.
i agree with everything you said.
Whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you stranger
I liked how our sense of smile and laugh are awaken by the more quiet parts of the film. Amazing and well made. Hats off
Sad we cannot make parties now, but someday we will celebrate life and gather, and clowns will play with children again. I am a clown.
A beautiful piece.
true, an innocent being who wants to make a world a funnier or an easier place to be
So few views yet this is such a little gem, such a tiny yet a mighty piece of art and joy. Thank you.
I wanna be a clown!😱😫😷
This made me smile and cry
The reason people are so serious about the clown thing is probably related to returning to the silliness and ignorance of being a child, as he said in a way that's both fun and melancholic.
all these action have nothing to do with a child or their behavior . its just a pervert way of thinking, nothing more.
@@NikosPer your mindset is sad and dull
@@Maber610 😂😂🤡🤡🤡
I was the only one that got a melancholy feeling watching this???
Trying to put the leaves back on the tree...god what an analogy
Dear Sir. Thank You So Much. You, Are A Great Human-Being. 😞 xxxx
This was so so so stunning and beautiful. I am so inspired, I laughed and cried.
I don't want to reach Christ Consciousness, I want to reach Clown Consciousness
Why not both?
@@TheEternalClown it's the same thing anyways
@@satmusa Perhaps from a non-Christian's perspective
@@TheEternalClown no, I meant it in a way very positive way in deed: in a way that both of them try to nullify the ego of humanbeings
@@satmusa I thought so, too.
so poetic, so very melancholic and funny and poignant xx
Lucky to see this video!
name of the music?
I dunno the name but it's produced by H.Scott Salinas and Emmanuel Vaughan Lee. Several soundtracks by HSS alone can be found on RUclips but the ones with the most similar feel to this came when I searched Emmanuel Vaughan Lee. a soundtrack for a film called Elemental which is produced by both EVL and HSS.
one of the greatset vids i ever watch!
Can any one tell me WHAT THE NAME OF THE MUSICE??
I really wanna bee a clown.
I love this so much the beauty of being a clown ❤️
Clown is a special job with a mission.
But being a clown in Germany that's a waste of time.
I didn't understand why the people on the street didn't react to him and then I realized he is in Germany and it all made sense. How sad.
I'm living in Germany for almost a decade (happily married here to one of those exceptions with sense of humour) and still didn't get used to the fact that majority of Germans are emotionless robots.
That brilliant sensitive man should do his clowning elsewhere ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Everything is important but nothing is serious." ❣‼⁉❗
Clowning is in some way taught in all forms of comedy. But people hate Clowns. Miming is a discipline that requires a ridiculous amount of knowledge and control of your body. But no one likes Mimes.
no se que dice, pero no hace falta, porque un clown traspasa cualquier barrera idiomatica, un clown trasmite emociones y para eso no hace falta ningún idioma, solo se ve y se siente...
Fantastic !!
This is a beautiful video
a beautiful film
great video
Mathéo Castro Amado 😊❤
This dude seems wholesome 🥲
Wonderful
Patch Adams inspired me to become a clown.
buenissimo
they’re funny I actually quite enjoy them
🥳🤩Every human being is a clown but only few have the courage to show it." -Charlie Rivel🥳🤗 #Clown 🥳🌼🌿🍃🎄
oh ok I'm in clown youtube now
Could I know where the music is from please.
Edit, just saw the credits.
The music makes this whole thing so weird. It’s like the guy’s trying the be funny but the music is giving this thoughtful melancholy feel. It doesn’t match at all.
Yeah, it makes him seem like a depressed clown.
Asssd Asssde When the clown’s narrating it seems like that. But they have clips of the clown just doing his act for like 30 seconds and the moods really seem to go against each other. I see what you’re saying though.
We are all clowns
I love clowns
somehow saddness...
i like clowns
Nothing is serious : )
They are for adults either
Baskets?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Wat
boooooo clowns
Read my name
@@pissawf9750bro you done him dirty 😂
No.
this was really stunning. something about the part where he was trying to put the leaves back onto the tree with the gentle music.... it really made me like... FEEL something. I'm not sure what, but there's something about that moment that really sticks with me. Maybe it's because the tree is dying, and the innocence of the character is trying to give it its leaves back... the innocence and care... I don't know. Either way, this video was beautiful, and will really stick with me.
Agree with you 100%. I think this was beautifully done and is a wonderful piece!! ❤
Well said, it was a special moment indeed ❤️
Yes !
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I must have watched this video about twenty times. Thank you.
Life is hilarious...and tragic. You must actively look for the hilarious parts. And when one presents itself, you dont just observe and enjoy it. No, you MUST SEIZE the opportunity to PARTICIPATE. You AMPLIFY absurdity. And in doing so, you kick Despair in the face.
he probably found another clown playing around
like, literally...."Send In the Clowns"
The imagination to express their work.
Pretty 👀🥳😊
I loved this!
Ok
hahaha no
