The big battle scene in Chimes at Midnight is amazing. According to Mel Gibson, it heavily influenced the Battle of Stirling in Braveheart. Indeed, they are remarkably similar. Although I doubt that Mel Gibson filmed any of the shots in his apartment like Orson Welles!
while I am willing to believe McBride's description of Welles's fondness & admiration of Falstaff, it stands at loggerheads with what Welles put on the screen and with what Shakespeare obviously thought. while Falstaff could be great company at a tavern, etc, he was an inveterate liar, cheat, thief, glutton, & lecher; devoted first, last, forever & always to himself; he scorned principle & was disloyal to his companions; he could not be a friend. while his disparagement of honor is amusing, it shows that a break with the prince who is increasingly committed to honor & to obligation is inevitable.
The Tempest. This is the literary testament of Shakespeare 403 years later. That I have deducted in one night. I do not know why the Shakespearean experts speak of the island as an imaginary place, or the Bermuda Islands, and another hypothesis. The island of The Tempest, Is England. The tests are here. Shakespeare wanted, and prayed, for Spain to invade England, and Catholics to be liberated. Although he feels very English. Nobody wants to imagine that Shakespere, the most universal English, wanted Spain to invade England, because England builds its national identity remembering the year 1588. But this is the truth: Precisely because Shakespeare secretly practiced Catholicism, and his family had been recused and impoverished, he wrote the Tempest to vent, because of the Protestant intolerance against Catholics. It was the last play, and he risked reprisals and left the theater. The tempest that disperses the ships (not the English action, because later there were more invincible navies, 2nd and 3rd, of 1596 and 1597, dispersed by storms). But the tempest could also bring an army to rescue the Catholics of the island. Who lives on the island of Shakespare's Tempest? They had lived Sycorax before. Look for Sycorax in Wikipedia, for example: "An especially odd and early guess at a meaning by one critic was sic or rex, a Latin homophone alluding to Queen Elizabeth's pride". Elisabeth Sycorax only appears in the named text. She is described as a ruthless witch who has already died. Now there is Caliban, which is a cannibal transformation. Caliban is the son of Elisabeth (who brought Protestantism again after the death of Maria Tudor). Protestant cannibals are "eating" Catholics. Shakespeare is very cruel to Caliban, who is a deformed being, "like Protestantism then?" But who lives abandoned on that desert island of the Tempest? (It can be deserted if they kill us all, thinks Shakespeare). Live Miranda (María Tudor), "daugther" of Prospero, Duke of Milan (Felipe II of Spain was Duke of Milan, and before King of England, and the great protector of Catholicism in Europe) Who commanded the invincible army of 1588 ?: Alonso Pérez de Guzmán (who was captain general of Lombaría , Milan). Who commanded the navy in the text of Shakespeare? a man named Alonso, king of Naples. Always Italy, where the Pope is, and always Spanish territories in Italy. Who is the greatest traitor in Spain in history? Antonio Pérez, who betrayed Felipe II, and traveled to England to ally with Elisabeth. Shakespeare met Antonio Pérez. Shakespare makes a caricature of Antonio Pérez in Love's Labour Lost, called him Don Adriano de Armado. Who is the greatest traitor in the Tempest? Antonio, who has stolen Prospero (Felipe II) the title of Duke of Milan, has usurped the name of Spain. The daughter of Alonso (head of the real and fictitious army) is called Claribel. How could Spain invade England? Taking troops from the Netherlands, to embark them in the army. Who was the Spanish sovereign of the Spanish Netherlands, daughter of Philip II, king who sent the army? Isabel Clara Eugenia. Isabel Clara Eugenia was proposed to be queen of France. The King of France rejected the proposal, but in return he made France Catholic. "Paris is worth a Mass". Shakespeare was thinking that this was a solution for England, a wedding like that of Philip and Mary, an invasion, or the solution that there was in France, to bring Catholicism to England. In addition, Claribel comes from Tunisia, where the uncle of Isabel Clara Eugenia, had just left the Moors expelled from Spain by infidels. Sycorax (Elisabeth) fue expulsada de Argel, por hacer brujería, era menos cristiana que los argelinos. Who is the servant of Prospero and Felipe II: Ariel, the wind, who has a childish spirit, and does not always obey Prospero. But Prospero reminds him of Ariel, that he rescued him from Sycorax. When? When Philip II of Spain was king of England he brought Catholicism. So in The Tempest, Ariel brings the ships to England. Shakespare could not go further without discovering his intention. The text of the Tempest is full of much more subtle allusions, almost on each page, showing the suffering and relief of Shakespare. The text talks about the barrels of wine from Jerez (Spain) that the fleet brings to fill the whole island, and that are hidden in a cave (wine for Catholic Masses, which were hidden in the 17th century? )He wanted what he thought was best for England. What is the last sentence of the Tempest, the farewell phrase of Shakespeare from the theaters? A Catholic phrase.
I remember this book "The Tempest" that I studied at University....good memories all those information you are giving, remind me this time...and especially when I had to comment on the subject "Shakespeare and his successors" for the exam (English Literature). Thank you for sharing !
The Americans generally fail to appreciate their best directors: Orson Welles, Woody Allen, Terence Malick, etc. In my opinion Martin Scorsese is one of the most overrated directors in the business: technically adept but his films lack real content
I've seen it. It's a low budget student film in form, but Welles is terrific. These two pseudo intellectuals are more than a little bit insufferable. Typical of supposed teachers who talk about others who do things, but seem strangely incapable of doing much themselves. Whatever.....

This guys voice is so soothing. I can listen to him all day
awesome insights from Mr. McBride as always on the magnificent Orson... peace and ty !

Excellent! Looking forward to The Other Side of the Wind
I think 'The other side of the wind' is awesome and 'Chimes at Midnight'
awesome
Oja Kodar (The Other Side of the Wind, F is for Fake) is still alive and you should talk to her.
If we only have Ambersons....
Yes, one of the greatest artistic tragedies of the 20th Century.
