As infinite as man may undergo-

From that particular fault. The dram of e'il

REQUIRED VIEWING:
1. Filming Othello (dir. Orson Welles, 1978) Filming Othello - Orson Welles - Documentary - Multiple Subtitles -

Three Trailers:
2. Trailer OTHELLO by Orson Welles - NYC

Orson Welles never talks about the soundtrack of the film, just uses the opening of the film Othello soundtrack for the opening of Filming Othello
Welles deconstructs his closing distinction between the Othello he makes and the Othello he wishes he could make in the future. The unmade one is the one he prefers.


Shakespeare vu par Orson welles : l'obsession magnifique.
Table ronde avec Simon Callow, Julie Vatain-Corfdir et François Thomas, animée par Frédéric Bonnaud
« J'aimerais dire ceci : tout metteur en scène qui dirige une pièce ou un film shakespearien, tout acteur qui joue dans une pièce ou un film shakespearien ne peut en réaliser qu'une petite partie. Shakespeare est le plus grand homme qui ait jamais vécu, et nous, nous sommes de pauvres taupes qui travaillons sous terre. Tout ce que nous pouvons faire, c'est de saisir, de mordre un petit quelque chose, mais ce que nous saisissons doit être vrai et non pas dénaturé. Je suis tout à fait opposé à ce qu'on dénature une mise en scène shakespearienne. » (Orson Welles)

Many abuses in the world—or to put it more boldly, all the abuses in the world—result from our being taught to fear admitting our ignorance, and our being trained to accept anything we cannot refute. We talk about everything dogmatically and categorically. The practice in ancient Rome required that even testimony given by an eyewitness and rulings of judges based on their most certain knowledge had to be couched in the expression: “It seems to me.” It makes me hate things that are probable when they are impressed on me as infallible. I favor those words that soften and moderate the boldness of our assertions: “perhaps,” “in a sense,” “some,” “they say,” “I think,” and the like. And if I’d had to rear children, I would have so filled their mouths with this inquiring and open-ended way of answering—“What does that mean?” “I don’t understand.” “That may be.” “Is that true?”—that they would more likely have preserved the attitude of students at sixty, than resemble learned doctors at ten, as boys tend to do.

King Lear (dir. Trevor Nunn, starring Ian McKellen)
Stephen Booth, "On the Greatness of King Lear" in King Lear, Macbeth, Indefinition, and Tragedy
The they has its own ways to be. . . . Averageness . . . is the an existential characteristic of the they. In its being, the they is essentially concerned with averageness. Thus, the they maintains itself factically in the averageness of what belongs to it, what it does and does not consider valid, and what it grants or denies success. The averageness, which prescribes what can and may be ventured, watches over every exception which thrusts itself to the fore. Every priority is noiselessly squashed. Overnight, everything that is original is flattened down as something long since known. Everything won through struggle becomes something manageable. Every mystery loses its power. The care of averageness reveals, in turn, an essential tendency of Dasein, which we call the leveling down of all possibilities of being.
--Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, Joan Stambaugh translation revised by Dennis Schmidt (2010), 123.
The indebtedness of idle talk has always already settled itself down in Dasein. We get to know many things initially in this way, and some things never get beyond such an average understanding. Dasein can never escape the everyday way of being interpreted into which Dasein grows initially. All genuine understanding, interpreting and communication, rediscovery, and new appropriation come about in it, out of it, and against it.
--Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, Joan Stambaugh translation revised by Dennis Schmidt (2010), 163

Shakespeare: The Animated Tales A Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream (BBC Radio 3)https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07dx7lt/a-midsummer-nights-dreamRemember? (Dir. Norman Z McLeod, 1939) is a mediocre screwball comedy but could have interested Cavell because it can easily be regarded both as a comedy of remariage and as an analogue of A Midummer Night's Dream. The memory loss potion brewed by Dr. Schmidt and Sky administered by Ames to the married couple may serve as analogues of Oberon's flower and Puck.

Shakespeare: The Animated Tales: The Winter's TaleApril 4Required Viewing:William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale (RSC 1999)Required Reading:THIRD PAPER DUE April 20 by 11:59 p.m.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Your assignment is to do a close reading of a clip from an assigned film we've watched this semester except the film you wrote your first film assignment on. Focus on a scene and discuss it in detail. That passage or scene is your paper topic. Cite the film to make your points. Develop your thesis. The film is your evidence. Use screen captures to support your points. If you don't know what a close reading is and have never done one before, be sure to go to http://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/pages/how-do-close-reading. You may also ask me for clarification. You must also know how to write a research paper or analytical essay. You will need a title for your paper and a thesis, an argument that you can state in one sentence. Your thesis should go at the end of your first paragraph. To make sure we share the same understanding of the assigned paper, please read richardburtphd.com/paper.html before you begin writing. You may figure out your title before you write your paper, but usually, you only figure out your title after you figure out your thesis. And you figure out your thesis by writing your paper. What you first thought is your conclusion often needs to be moved up from the end of the essay to the front. Then you are ready to make your final revisions and add a new concluding paragraph. You may also have come up with a new title in the course of writing the paper. And then you are ready to proofread your paper. I strongly recommend you read it aloud to catch errors. And then you will have finished writing your paper. Congratulations! :) Also, please insert image captures as needed.Email your paper (as an attachment) to me at [email protected]. Put your name in the subject title or header of your title. Put your name in your paper.Grading: I will meet with you in person to discuss your paper with you. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you don't do the asignment, a close reading, your grade is an automatic E. If you don't put your name on your paper, it's an automatic E. If you don't have a proper title, it's an automatic E. If you don't have a thesis, it's an automatic E. One third of your grade will be based on your title; one third on your thesis; and one third on the rest of your paper.

To Be or Not to Be (dir. Ernst Lubitsch, 1941)


In order to include all students in class discussion, and in order to make it easier for you to read closely and thereby improve your own writing, we will close read, read slowly the assigned text sentence by sentence or the assigned film shot by shot. Discussion co-leaders and I will call on a student at random and ask that student to read a specific sentence out loud and then to close read it. If the student is unable to read the sentence closely, the co-leaders will call on another student and ask that student to read a specific sentence out loud and then close read it. We will continue to discuss the same sentence until a student reads it closely. We will then proceed in the same fashion with the next sentence. And so on. Due to time constraints and because close reading is slow reading, we will skip parts of the assigned text, but we will always be talking and only be talking about words, syntax, punctuation, paragraphing, and narration in the text. As we move through the text, we will be able to make more general comments about parts of it. If students have comments to add on the sentence under discussion, they may raise their hands and make them once they have been called on by the co-leaders or me.In order to learn the names of all the students in the class, I will take roll on canvas at the beginning of class. As I state on the requirements webpage, if you are late to class, I consider you absent. If you are absent more than twice, your final grade may suffer. If you are absent four times, you fail the class.Here is what I have written on the requirements webpage:"Attendance means not only being in class, but includes completing the assigned work for each class by the time it is due and arriving to class on time. (If you arrive late to class or if you don't do the discussion questions, you are counted as absent.)"

Eric Rohmer’s film bears, in French, the title Conte D’Hiver, which is almost the canonical French title of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.

Repetition is key to learning.
To learn how to understand a piece of music, a philosopher said, you have to hear it twice.A conductor of baroque music said you have to listen to repeated hearings before you understand it."How full of meaning and significance the language of music is we see from the repetition of signs, as well as from the Da capowhich would be intolerable in the case of works composed in the language of words. In music, however, they are very appropriate and beneficial; for to comprehend it fully, we must hear it twice."--Arthur Schopenhauer, "On the Metaphysics of Music"

Vienna and Schubert: 'Death and the Maiden' String Quartet - Professor Chris Hogwood CBE"The greatest pieces of music are called classics simply because at a first hearing--that is terribly...very complicated to work out what's going on or even more complicated to explain to yourself why it's going on--even to hear it has to be heard several times. Probably after first hearing, immediately go back and hear it again, and on repeated hearings repeated things come to light."--Christopher Hogwood
