Richard III went out like a boss, I'll give him that. Macbeth, same. Shakespeare knew how to write good villains: they're not sniveling cowards, they're often brave, cunning, ruthless men who placed their own ambition above their duty.
You know, for being the villain, the final showdown made Richard look like the good guy. Henry wasn't even involved in the fight, standing behind his cronies and all his butt boys jumped Richard like little bitches when he was dueling 1 on 1.
@@breezingby2611 why cuz he was going to win? Mf WAS stronger and actually worked to get where he is at. He's legitness personified and that in medieval times is how kings are made by being the hardest mf out there. Think of William the Bastard conqueror. The first of England's kings and he's the hardest mF out there.
@@breezingby2611 but it does though, he is a horrible person like you said, but what I'm saying is that's what it takes to be a king. He deserved a king's burial since he was legit more king than those born into it. Had he succeeded he would have founded a brand new House Dynasty.
Parking spaces. Parking lot is very American and quite embarrassing. Richard III has more history than your horrible little place in which you try to live.
In real life they killed him like cowards, struck in the face with an axe, back of his head sliced off and brains hanging out, and a dagger struck through the top of his head, stripped naked and left on the battlefield, by the scum tudors. then ridden on horseback where they beat his body even more. He stood his ground like a real man and warrior. rip King Richard III
He deserved it. He did worse stuff in his life, pretty sure Elizabeth of York's brothers were killed by his orders. Stole the crown from them. Then it came back to the only living heir of Edward IV.
@@WendoDoux Just so you know, Henry Tudor and his mother had just as much cause to ensure those princes disappeared. With them on the throne, York was more powerful than it would be under Richard. The Tudor propaganda campaign against Richard has been debunked on several levels, of course Richard may well have murdered his nephews but the Tudors tried to cement it as fact.
Richard 3 was a good man who propaganda, his physical deformity and of course Shakespeares fictional play have him remembered as a monster. Hamlet was a monster. Couldn’t mannthenf uonand kill his fathers murderer without making speeches and breaking the heart of an amazing woman and killing her father which led to her suicide and still Hamlet speechified. To dumb to see his mother was a whore not ALL women. And too cowardly to kill the fat bum that murdered his father. The play should have been ten minutes long. Claudius killer you dad? Right then hold on. * marches uostairs and beheads Claudius sends his mom off to some other castle and marries Ophelia. Instead we get four hours of aa spoiled narcissistic man child wondering “what should I do?” Because he’s a little scared biatch. Hamlet was simpinn for his slutty mom. I have an MFA in theater.
I like this scene because it shows us how human we all really are. You can be as high as can be in the social order, but in the end, Richard was powerless to the forces around him and fell as you or I would if that were us. I don't know; it just makes me think.
It’s all part of this version. Olivier was always tongue in cheek and he could get away with it. No one has overcome his greatness. So many parts and accolades. Greatest actor of 20th century.
"I have set my life upon a cast, and I shall stand the hazard of the die!" I'm one of those for whom Shakespeare doesn't really "click", but this moment sticks with me. Chad line, chad performance.
I look forward to the day when a descendent of Richard the third is crowned king of England and these German interlopers are packed off back to where they came from. God save the King, King Richard our rightful monarch
Richard III had only one son who died in childhood. He has no living descendants. The current Queen is a descendant of his niece, Elizabeth of York, who married Henry Tudor, sooooo......
Overall a phenomenal rendition of Shakespeare - Olivier was a genius in both acting and directing. But the death scene was over the top and certainly unrealistic.
The death throes would have been all right -made it a poignant scene, even with the hyper-emphasizing music - but the last part, raising the sword was definitely overacted.
2:19 HERE the final scene of Richard III shows him fighting his greatest foe: Himself. He thrash, he kicked, the swore vengeance of the most intense degree. But in the end Richard surrendered not only his opponent but to God. Something it's not about how one lived and ruled. It's about how you died. If our last moments showed everyone who we really are - then Richard III struggled with his inner demons until he final acknowledge that he has been bested by those who were better than him at strategy, if not at being King. Dispite his lost his name and his character archetype has echoed throughout history, the Earth and - may one day - the galaxy. "This was King Richard III. May God give him rest from the real life Game Of Thrones."
You have to say, we could have done without Henry VII "the winter king" and Henry VIII along with Bloody Mary I. But, had Richard won we wouldn't have had Elizabeth I.
Shakespeare certainly did have a way with words, but let’s be honest all of this is complete fiction. Richard was not a villain, at least not as actual historical records show. there’s no record. He killed his nephews although it is strange they disappeared nor is there any evidence that he killed his wife or took the throne with a Illegal power. for the two years he was king he actually did do a lot of good stuff or at least was planning to.
Both guys who allegedly said that--Brutus and John Wilkes Booth--were assholes fighting to retain (or in the latter's case, possibly avenge) a corrupt government that deserved to be destroyed.
@@pyromania1018 to be fair, Brutus was more well intentioned than John Wilkes Booth. Also, if Brutus and his allies were less incompetent and listened to Cicero more, they may have actually succeeded in saving the Republic. Nothing, not even Lincoln's murder could save slavery.

Really Lady MacBeth was the cunning ruthless one.

You know, for being the villain, the final showdown made Richard look like the good guy. Henry wasn't even involved in the fight, standing behind his cronies and all his butt boys jumped Richard like little bitches when he was dueling 1 on 1.
To be fair, given all the absolutely despicable stuff he did, Richard really didn’t deserve a fair fight

He was so dedicated to killing instead of leaving like a rationally running away all he wanted to do was get a horse so he could keep killing
Such a great and chilling character. He just wants to tear himself down and bring everyone screaming with him.
Richard died like a man trying to kill another ursurper with lessclaim than him. RIP LAST OF THE PLANTAGENET.
The last true king of England
He played a Lancaster (Henry V) and a York (Richard III) on film.

Habe diesen Filme in jungen Jahren in s/w gesehen und war begeistert , besonders Sir L. Olivier als Richard III hat mich fasziniert.
If only that bowl-haircut fool hadn't distracted Norfolk, the day might not have been as lost as it was.
Olivier is two pounds of ham in a one-pound bag.
ham and chips with a side order of ham
It's like Kenneth Branagh once said: "Sometimes you are allowed to swim in the River Of Ham".
It’s all part of this version. Olivier was always tongue in cheek and he could get away with it. No one has overcome his greatness. So many parts and accolades. Greatest actor of 20th century.
Olivier as the eponymous - and ill-fated - king. He also directed this great version of Shakespeare's epic.
Shakespeare lie.

They had no choice but to record it in Spain
