00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
NARRATOR:
Our revels now are ended.
2
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
These our actors, as I foretold you...
3
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... were all spirits
and are melted into air...
4
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... into thin air.
5
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
And, like the baseless fabric
of this vision...
6
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... the cloud-capp 'd towers...
7
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... the gorgeous palaces...
8
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... the solemn temples...
9
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... the great globe itself...
10
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... ye all which it inherit...
11
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... shall dissolve...
12
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... and, like this insubstantial pageant
faded...
13
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... leave not a wisp behind.
14
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
We are such stuff
as dreams are made on...
15
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
... and our little life
is rounded with a sleep.
16
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Who's gonna say, "Action"?
Should I say it, or should you?
17
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
- You wanna say it?
HADGE: You can say it.
18
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
- I don't want to. Say it.
SPACEY: You say it.
19
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
KIMBALL: And action!
- How do I look?
20
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I can't see anything.
21
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Are they out there?
22
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
This is my entrance.
23
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Fuck.
24
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
[GROWLS]
25
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
MAN 1:
I'm actually reading Richard III...
26
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
...and I can't get on with it.
I've been reading it for six months.
27
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
You want to do it
with your American accent?
28
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
We're getting $40 a day
and all the doughnuts we can eat.
29
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Shakespeare? What the fuck
do you know about Shakespeare?
30
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Arise, fair sun...
31
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
...and kill the envious moon.
32
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Like eager droppings into milk,
it doth posset and curd.
33
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Some are born great,
some achieve greatness...
34
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,582
...and some have greatness
thrust upon them.
35
00:03:04,758 --> 00:03:06,751
MAN 2:
Intelligence is hooked with language.
36
00:03:07,136 --> 00:03:10,634
When we speak with no feeling,
we get nothing out of our society.
37
00:03:10,805 --> 00:03:12,762
We should speak like Shakespeare.
38
00:03:12,932 --> 00:03:16,632
We should introduce Shakespeare
into the academics.
39
00:03:16,811 --> 00:03:20,345
You know why? Because then
the kids would have feelings.
40
00:03:20,522 --> 00:03:22,515
PACINO: That's right.
- We have no feelings.
41
00:03:22,691 --> 00:03:24,979
That's why it's easy for us
to shoot each other.
42
00:03:25,151 --> 00:03:28,852
We don't feel for each other,
but if we were taught to feel...
43
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:32,114
...we wouldn't be so violent.
PACINO: Shakespeare helps us?
44
00:03:32,283 --> 00:03:35,532
He did more than help us.
He instructed us.
45
00:03:39,456 --> 00:03:41,993
PACINO:
Hi. You gonna see the play tonight?
46
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:43,993
You're gonna see it, huh?
47
00:03:44,168 --> 00:03:45,876
Hello.
48
00:03:46,045 --> 00:03:47,918
MAN 3: How much it cost?
PACINO: It's for free.
49
00:03:48,088 --> 00:03:50,330
- Okay, I'm going.
- Okay.
50
00:03:50,507 --> 00:03:53,176
MAN 4: Thanks a lot.
- Your first Shakespeare play?
51
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:55,798
- Yeah.
- It'll be interesting. Give it a try.
52
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:59,340
- I saw Hamlet recently.
- How did you feel about it?
53
00:03:59,515 --> 00:04:00,974
- Did you see it live? It what?
- It sucked.
54
00:04:01,141 --> 00:04:02,766
- It what?
- It sucked. I saw it live.
55
00:04:02,935 --> 00:04:04,393
- It sucked?
- Yeah.
56
00:04:04,561 --> 00:04:09,899
PACINO: Anything in Shakespeare that
made you think it's not close to you...
57
00:04:10,066 --> 00:04:13,481
...or connected to you in any way?
- Yeah, it's boring.
58
00:04:13,694 --> 00:04:18,486
A bank in England uses
Shakespeare as...
59
00:04:18,657 --> 00:04:21,195
Cover my account number.
See, it's a hologram.
60
00:04:21,368 --> 00:04:24,321
They use it as ID to prove
it's a real card.
61
00:04:24,495 --> 00:04:26,322
PACINO:
What do you think of Shakespeare?
62
00:04:26,497 --> 00:04:27,528
He's a great export.
63
00:04:27,707 --> 00:04:30,244
Who's moving in on Shakespeare?
The Japanese.
64
00:04:30,417 --> 00:04:32,742
Because they're kicking
the Americans' ass.
65
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:35,244
And they're all interested
in Shakespeare.
66
00:04:35,672 --> 00:04:39,206
You know Shakespeare?
William Shakespeare?
67
00:04:39,425 --> 00:04:42,295
We're peddling him on the streets.
68
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,389
I remember our English teacher
sent us to see...
69
00:04:45,556 --> 00:04:49,339
...a local college production
of King Lear.
70
00:04:49,517 --> 00:04:51,510
I went with my girlfriend...
71
00:04:51,686 --> 00:04:53,595
...and after about 10 minutes
of these people:
72
00:04:53,771 --> 00:04:55,182
[BABBLING]
73
00:04:55,398 --> 00:04:59,810
They were doing this kind
of Shakespearean acting.
74
00:04:59,985 --> 00:05:04,314
I just tuned right out. We made out
in the back row and left at intermission.
75
00:05:04,531 --> 00:05:07,152
I was brought up in a school...
76
00:05:07,325 --> 00:05:11,073
...where Shakespeare was taught
very kind of...
77
00:05:11,245 --> 00:05:13,700
...straightforwardly and dully,
to be honest.
78
00:05:13,872 --> 00:05:18,581
We read it aloud and it made no sense,
because there was no connection made.
79
00:05:19,043 --> 00:05:20,835
My own experience...
80
00:05:21,003 --> 00:05:25,499
...was in the fields in Michigan,
where I was raised on a farm...
81
00:05:25,674 --> 00:05:29,458
...and an uncle, who was a Northern
guy, black Northern guy...
82
00:05:29,636 --> 00:05:32,305
...came out of the field one day
and started narrating...
83
00:05:32,472 --> 00:05:36,137
...Antony's speech, the funeral oration.
84
00:05:36,309 --> 00:05:40,388
- From Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?
- Yeah. We'd heard stuff from the Bible...
85
00:05:40,562 --> 00:05:43,563
...but my first time as a kid,
I was hearing...
86
00:05:43,732 --> 00:05:46,602
...great words having great meaning.
87
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:49,647
KIMBALL:
What brings us to Montreal?
88
00:05:51,322 --> 00:05:52,650
To Paris? To London?
89
00:05:52,823 --> 00:05:55,658
What takes us into dungeons,
to parapets...
90
00:05:55,826 --> 00:05:59,111
- To Japan next.
- To Japan, maybe, is a quest.
91
00:06:00,747 --> 00:06:02,739
PACINO:
It has always been a dream of mine...
92
00:06:02,915 --> 00:06:07,209
... to communicate how I feel
about Shakespeare to other people.
93
00:06:07,419 --> 00:06:12,128
So I asked my friend Frederic Kimball,
who is an actor and a writer...
94
00:06:12,299 --> 00:06:14,872
... and also our colleagues
Michael Hadge...
95
00:06:15,051 --> 00:06:17,174
... and James Bulleit, to join me.
96
00:06:17,345 --> 00:06:21,923
And by taking this one play,
Richard III...
97
00:06:22,099 --> 00:06:25,384
... analyzing it, approaching it
from different angles...
98
00:06:25,811 --> 00:06:28,681
... putting on costumes,
playing out scenes...
99
00:06:28,897 --> 00:06:33,523
... we could communicate
both our passion for it...
100
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:36,812
... our understanding
that we've come to...
101
00:06:36,987 --> 00:06:38,565
... and in doing that...
102
00:06:38,864 --> 00:06:42,731
... communicate a Shakespeare
that is about how we feel...
103
00:06:42,909 --> 00:06:47,617
... and how we think today. That's
the effort we're gonna give it here.
104
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:49,988
KIMBALL:
We've done Richard three times. Twice.
105
00:06:50,165 --> 00:06:54,542
You did it at the Studio, we've done it
in Boston and on Broadway.
106
00:06:54,711 --> 00:06:58,791
At least, the head start is that
I've done it. You've done it.
107
00:06:58,965 --> 00:07:02,215
- But the problem, Frederic...
KIMBALL: The audience hasn't done it.
108
00:07:02,384 --> 00:07:05,006
- They haven't done it.
- It's a difficult play.
109
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,253
PACINO: If someone were to ask you
about Richard III...
110
00:07:09,432 --> 00:07:11,923
...what would you remember about it?
111
00:07:12,101 --> 00:07:17,261
To be honest, I really don't remember
that much, if anything at all.
112
00:07:18,107 --> 00:07:22,186
PACINO: Did you know that Richard III
had a deformed arm and a deformed back?
113
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,602
- No, I didn't.
PACINO: You didn't know that?
114
00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:28,321
The play, Richard III,
about the guy with the humpback?
115
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:30,115
- No.
- You got me there.
116
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:31,315
Mm-mm.
117
00:07:31,493 --> 00:07:35,325
PACINO: He was a humpback? "A
horse. A horse. My kingdom for a horse"?
118
00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:38,451
- That comes from Richard III.
MAN 5: It does, yes.
119
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:42,083
I mean, nobody knows
who Richard III is.
120
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,958
- Nobody.
HADGE: It's a tough play to get.
121
00:07:45,130 --> 00:07:47,586
The relationships between
those characters.
122
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:51,921
- Who can keep it straight?
- Well, I think the question is...
123
00:07:52,095 --> 00:07:55,464
...what is the understanding?
I mean, the understanding is...
124
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,550
It's a simply... Can you
follow the story line and the plot?
125
00:08:00,728 --> 00:08:05,140
We've provided this kind of
docudrama-type thing...
126
00:08:05,315 --> 00:08:10,142
...to inform some of the scenes
so you know where you are.
127
00:08:10,361 --> 00:08:14,524
For instance, there's an early scene
with the queen...
128
00:08:14,698 --> 00:08:17,023
... and her brother and her two sons...
129
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,201
... which is outside in an anteroom...
130
00:08:20,495 --> 00:08:24,409
...waiting for the king to call them in
because he is inside, sick.
131
00:08:24,582 --> 00:08:29,457
The queen is worried. She's afraid
the king will die, who is her husband.
132
00:08:29,628 --> 00:08:34,124
And when he dies, the only...
133
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:39,209
The only people left to inherit the throne
are her two young sons...
134
00:08:39,428 --> 00:08:40,757
...by the king himself.
135
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:44,464
She has two sons by a previous
marriage, which are in the scene.
136
00:08:44,641 --> 00:08:49,468
And she's afraid that the character I
play, Richard III of Gloucester...
137
00:08:49,646 --> 00:08:53,061
...is going to take hold
of the situation...
138
00:08:53,316 --> 00:08:58,107
...and somehow manipulate them
into thinking...
139
00:08:58,528 --> 00:09:01,979
...that they're, you know...
That the kids are...
140
00:09:02,157 --> 00:09:05,572
I'm confused just saying it.
I can imagine how you must feel...
141
00:09:05,743 --> 00:09:07,819
...hearing me talk. It's confusing.
142
00:09:07,995 --> 00:09:10,830
I don't know why we even bother
doing this at all.
143
00:09:10,998 --> 00:09:12,824
But we'll give it a little try.
144
00:09:14,668 --> 00:09:18,747
Let's see what we can come up with.
First of all, let's get a smaller...
145
00:09:18,921 --> 00:09:22,788
Let's work out of a smaller book
than this. This is hard to carry.
146
00:09:22,967 --> 00:09:25,636
- Excuse me, but look at this. "Hello?"
- I think...
147
00:09:25,803 --> 00:09:29,634
"Yes. It's my entrance? Oh, I see."
148
00:09:35,436 --> 00:09:39,896
It's good sometimes that you open it,
and it is Richard, it's not Hamlet.
149
00:09:40,065 --> 00:09:42,686
Sometimes in Shakespeare,
there's a tendency...
150
00:09:42,859 --> 00:09:44,567
...to confuse the plays.
151
00:09:46,654 --> 00:09:50,319
The first act is about a sick king,
and everybody maneuvering...
152
00:09:50,491 --> 00:09:55,567
PACINO: Sure.
...around. I wish that this play...
153
00:09:55,746 --> 00:09:59,114
...could begin...
154
00:09:59,290 --> 00:10:00,749
...on the body...
155
00:10:00,917 --> 00:10:03,490
On the sleeping king...
156
00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:06,705
...Edward IV, your brother, in bed.
PACINO: Yeah.
157
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,755
And it pans up and you are standing
over him, looking at him.
158
00:10:13,178 --> 00:10:14,969
Yeah.
159
00:10:15,721 --> 00:10:18,391
- Yes, but he's alive, the king is alive.
- Yes.
160
00:10:18,557 --> 00:10:23,135
I would prefer having him
off in the distance. I'd like...
161
00:10:23,312 --> 00:10:26,762
- Good. You can watch him.
PACINO: I'd like to walk...
162
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:29,228
- Frederic? Can you get the other end?
KIMBALL: Yeah.
163
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,143
I'd like... Hi, how are you?
164
00:10:31,319 --> 00:10:33,988
Frederic and I decided to go
to The Cloisters...
165
00:10:34,154 --> 00:10:36,645
... a museum that has
a medieval setting...

Right from the start, is "discontent."

So Richard, in the very opening scene
of the play, tells us...

... just how badly he feels
about the peacetime world...

that must be learned...
333
00:20:37,436 --> 00:20:39,559
...and can be rejected once learned.
334
00:20:39,771 --> 00:20:43,685
"Pentameter" means "meter,"
and "pen," meaning "five."
335
00:20:43,858 --> 00:20:45,898
So there's five beats.
336
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:48,316
Which, at its worst, sounds only like:
337
00:20:48,487 --> 00:20:52,105
"Why, so. Now have I done
a good day's work."
338
00:20:52,282 --> 00:20:54,239
De-da de-da de-da de-da de-da.
339
00:20:54,451 --> 00:20:56,657
And iambic is where the accent goes.
340
00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:59,277
That's de-tum de-tum de-tum de-tum.
341
00:20:59,497 --> 00:21:03,364
And five of them:
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da.
342
00:21:03,542 --> 00:21:07,871
Make a pentameter line, five iambs.
343
00:21:08,046 --> 00:21:12,624
An iamb is like an anteater.
344
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,509
Very high in the back
and very short, little front legs. Da-da!
345
00:21:19,223 --> 00:21:24,596
Shakespeare's poetry and his iambics...
346
00:21:24,769 --> 00:21:28,553
...floated and descended
through the pentameter of the soul.
347
00:21:28,731 --> 00:21:34,152
And it's the soul, the spirit of real,
concrete people going through hell...
348
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,103
...and sometimes moments of great...
349
00:21:38,907 --> 00:21:41,907
...achievement and joy.
350
00:21:42,076 --> 00:21:44,649
That is the pentameter
you must focus on...
351
00:21:44,829 --> 00:21:47,948
...and should you find that reality...
352
00:21:48,916 --> 00:21:52,035
... all the iambics will fall into place.
353
00:21:52,711 --> 00:21:58,084
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul.
Here Clarence comes.
354
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,708
Brother, good day.
355
00:22:00,884 --> 00:22:04,134
What means this armed guard
that waits upon your grace?
356
00:22:04,304 --> 00:22:07,637
His majesty tendering my safety,
hath appointed this conduct...
357
00:22:07,807 --> 00:22:09,385
...to convey me to the Tower.
358
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,051
- Upon what cause?
- Because my name is George.
359
00:22:13,479 --> 00:22:14,889
Clarence...
360
00:22:15,856 --> 00:22:17,848
...what is the matter? May I know?
361
00:22:18,025 --> 00:22:23,019
Yea, Richard, as I know. But I protest
as yet I do not. But, as I can learn...
362
00:22:23,196 --> 00:22:25,733
...he hearkens
after prophecies and dreams.
363
00:22:25,948 --> 00:22:28,569
And from the cross-row
plucks the letter G.
364
00:22:28,784 --> 00:22:31,571
And says a wizard told him that by G...
365
00:22:31,745 --> 00:22:34,070
...his children disinherited should be.
366
00:22:34,247 --> 00:22:38,659
And, for my name of George begins with
G, it follows in his thought that I am he.
367
00:22:39,043 --> 00:22:43,290
These, as I learn,
and such like toys as these...
368
00:22:43,464 --> 00:22:45,622
...have moved his highness
to commit me now.
369
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,918
Why, so it is,
when men are ruled by women.
370
00:22:49,094 --> 00:22:52,260
'Tis not the king that sends you
to the Tower, Clarence.
371
00:22:52,430 --> 00:22:57,138
'Tis my Lady Grey his wife, 'tis she
that tempts him to this extremity.
372
00:22:57,309 --> 00:23:00,429
We are not safe, Clarence.
We are not safe.
373
00:23:00,604 --> 00:23:03,439
PACINO: Now, if Richard's
brother Edward was king, right?
374
00:23:03,606 --> 00:23:05,100
And then he dies...
375
00:23:05,275 --> 00:23:07,896
...Clarence, his other brother,
is next in line.
376
00:23:08,069 --> 00:23:10,690
No, the kids were next in line.
377
00:23:10,863 --> 00:23:12,985
After the king's kids came Clarence.
378
00:23:13,156 --> 00:23:17,984
So Richard figures, "I get rid of Clarence,
then work out getting rid of the kids."
379
00:23:18,203 --> 00:23:21,654
Meantime, this deep disgrace
in brotherhood...
380
00:23:21,831 --> 00:23:23,539
...touches me...
381
00:23:23,707 --> 00:23:26,376
...deeper than you can imagine.
382
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,874
- I know it pleaseth neither of us well.
- Your imprisonment shall not be long.
383
00:23:31,047 --> 00:23:35,874
I will deliver you, else lie for you.
Meantime, have patience.
384
00:23:36,052 --> 00:23:38,423
GUARD 1: It's time, my lord.
- I must perforce.
385
00:23:38,596 --> 00:23:40,588
BALDWIN: Must.
- Farewell.
386
00:23:40,764 --> 00:23:43,930
PACINO: It looks like Richard's plan
is really starting to work.
387
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,591
He got the king to put Clarence
in the Tower...
388
00:23:46,769 --> 00:23:49,342
... by poisoning the king's mind
against him.
389
00:23:49,522 --> 00:23:54,598
So now he's got one brother locked up,
the other brother, who 's king, is sick.
390
00:23:54,776 --> 00:23:57,314
So he's in good shape.
He can move around.
391
00:23:57,487 --> 00:23:59,645
He can maneuver. He's got room.
392
00:23:59,823 --> 00:24:01,566
Go...
393
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:06,449
...tread the path
thou shalt ne'er return.
394
00:24:07,246 --> 00:24:10,745
Simple, plain Clarence!
395
00:24:11,875 --> 00:24:14,412
I do love thee so...
396
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:19,081
...that I shall shortly send
thy soul to heaven.
397
00:24:19,924 --> 00:24:23,506
GUARD 1: Prisoner approaching.
GUARD 2: Prisoner Hastings exeunt.
398
00:24:23,677 --> 00:24:27,377
Who is this?
The new-deliver'd Hastings?
399
00:24:28,181 --> 00:24:32,842
- Good time of day unto my gracious lord!
- As much unto my good lord Hastings.
400
00:24:33,018 --> 00:24:35,687
Well are you welcome to this open air.
401
00:24:35,854 --> 00:24:38,179
How hath your lordship
brook'd imprisonment?
402
00:24:38,357 --> 00:24:41,108
With patience, noble lord,
as prisoners must.
403
00:24:41,568 --> 00:24:43,441
You can do something
from Shakespeare...
404
00:24:43,611 --> 00:24:46,066
...think that you're feeling it or whatever.
HARRIS: Mm-hm.
405
00:24:46,238 --> 00:24:49,109
You love it.
You think you're communicating it.
406
00:24:49,325 --> 00:24:52,823
And the person you said it to
has not understood a word you said.
407
00:24:52,994 --> 00:24:54,654
You can't believe they didn't.
408
00:24:54,954 --> 00:24:58,323
"Thoust" and, you know...
409
00:24:58,499 --> 00:25:04,501
...just the way it's worded,
that confuses the people of, you know...
410
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:06,165
...this time period.
411
00:25:06,381 --> 00:25:09,168
HADGE: Shakespeare used a lot
of fancy words. You know?
412
00:25:09,342 --> 00:25:12,129
And it's hard to understand,
to grasp them.
413
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:16,252
They're not fancy words.
That's where we get confused.
414
00:25:16,432 --> 00:25:20,132
But they're poetry. It's hard
to grab hold of some rap slang too.
415
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,510
It's hard to get hold of it until your ear
gets tuned. You have to tune up.
416
00:25:24,731 --> 00:25:27,304
In a contemporary play, someone says:
417
00:25:27,483 --> 00:25:30,982
"Hey, you. Go over there,
get that thing and bring it to me."
418
00:25:31,153 --> 00:25:33,774
That would be the line.
Shakespeare says it:
419
00:25:33,947 --> 00:25:36,485
"Be Mercury, set feathers to thy heels...
420
00:25:36,658 --> 00:25:40,157
...and fly like thought
from them to me again."
421
00:25:41,662 --> 00:25:44,449
The King is weak and sickly...
422
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:49,119
...and his physicians fear him mightily.
- By Saint John, that news is bad indeed.
423
00:25:49,294 --> 00:25:51,867
O, he hath kept an evil diet long.
424
00:25:52,046 --> 00:25:55,047
You shouldn't have to understand
every single word.
425
00:25:55,216 --> 00:25:59,083
Why? Do you understand every...?
I mean, it's not important.
426
00:25:59,595 --> 00:26:02,595
It doesn 't matter.
As long as you get the gist of it.
427
00:26:02,764 --> 00:26:04,342
Just trust it. You'll get it.
428
00:26:04,516 --> 00:26:07,089
ALLEN:
And if he were dead...
429
00:26:07,894 --> 00:26:10,052
...what would betide on me?
430
00:26:10,229 --> 00:26:12,554
No other harm but loss of such a lord.
431
00:26:12,731 --> 00:26:16,598
The loss of such a lord
includes all harm.
432
00:26:16,777 --> 00:26:21,153
They're trying to soothe her
because she is an hysteric.
433
00:26:21,364 --> 00:26:25,408
- She is way out of control.
ALLEN: But does that weaken...
434
00:26:25,576 --> 00:26:27,901
...the reality of what's happening?
435
00:26:28,078 --> 00:26:30,450
KIMBALL: It strengthens
the incompetence of others...
436
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:32,911
But why should they be incompetent?
437
00:26:33,083 --> 00:26:36,000
- Why make them weaker?
KIMBALL: Because they went to Ludlow...
438
00:26:36,169 --> 00:26:39,039
...with little train
and got their heads cut off.
439
00:26:39,213 --> 00:26:44,124
But then it's no great deed on his part
if you make them weak.
440
00:26:44,343 --> 00:26:46,584
PACINO: They're not weak.
ALLEN: They're not weak...
441
00:26:46,761 --> 00:26:49,430
...nor do I think that they're stupid.
I think...
442
00:26:49,597 --> 00:26:53,511
By diminishing their importance,
you diminish his actions.
443
00:26:53,684 --> 00:26:57,764
- It's bound to happen.
- It's a very human, familial thing to say:
444
00:26:57,980 --> 00:27:01,016
"Calm down. It will be all right."
But underneath it...
445
00:27:01,191 --> 00:27:04,855
...they know what the scoop is, and I
keep throwing back at them:
446
00:27:05,027 --> 00:27:08,396
"Stop! You know damn well
what's going on."
447
00:27:08,906 --> 00:27:11,657
And that's why I'm hysterical.
You know it.
448
00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:13,658
If he dies, that's it.
449
00:27:13,869 --> 00:27:16,822
PACINO: Let's start the scene.
- Have patience, madam.
450
00:27:16,996 --> 00:27:20,828
There's no doubt his majesty
will soon recover his accustom'd health.
451
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,704
In that you brook it ill,
it makes him worse.
452
00:27:23,877 --> 00:27:25,704
Therefore, for God's sake,
entertain good comfort.
453
00:27:25,879 --> 00:27:28,168
And cheer his grace
with quick and merry...
454
00:27:28,340 --> 00:27:33,297
And that's the way
you want me to behave, is that it?
455
00:27:34,303 --> 00:27:38,763
If he were dead,
what would betide on me?
456
00:27:38,932 --> 00:27:41,423
No other harm, Mother,
but loss of such a lord.
457
00:27:41,601 --> 00:27:44,436
The loss of such a lord...
458
00:27:44,604 --> 00:27:47,142
...includes all harm.
459
00:27:47,315 --> 00:27:49,984
The heavens have bless'd you
with a goodly son...
460
00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:55,524
...to be your comforter when he's gone.
- Ah, he is young.
461
00:27:56,323 --> 00:28:02,989
His minority is put into the trust
of Richard Gloucester.
462
00:28:04,121 --> 00:28:07,157
A man that loves not me...
463
00:28:07,332 --> 00:28:09,574
...nor none of you.
464
00:28:09,793 --> 00:28:12,284
PACINO:
We gotta come up with ideas, direction.
465
00:28:12,462 --> 00:28:16,127
KIMBALL: We need a plan.
- We've got to start writing prefaces...
466
00:28:16,299 --> 00:28:20,047
...or, like, a list that says,
"Today we'll do these scenes.
467
00:28:20,219 --> 00:28:23,919
I want you to talk about Lady Anne
and what happens to her."
468
00:28:24,139 --> 00:28:26,427
PACINO: How are you?
How you doing?
469
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:28,722
PACINO:
How do you feel about Shakespeare?
470
00:28:28,893 --> 00:28:30,885
KIMBALL: This feels good.
PACINO: That's good.
471
00:28:31,979 --> 00:28:35,229
[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]
472
00:28:40,987 --> 00:28:43,904
PACINO: William Shakespeare?
- William Shakespeare, right.
473
00:28:44,073 --> 00:28:46,279
- Do you like him?
MAN 6: Of course.
474
00:28:46,450 --> 00:28:48,359
Did you ever see Shakespeare?
475
00:28:48,535 --> 00:28:50,907
- I never studied.
- You've never seen?
476
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:53,404
Never seen the show,
but you still like him?
477
00:28:53,581 --> 00:28:55,657
MAN 6: Sometimes I see
something good on TV.
478
00:28:55,833 --> 00:28:57,292
- Oh, TV.
- I like it.
479
00:28:57,460 --> 00:28:59,666
PACINO: But Shakespeare, you don't see?
MAN 6: No.
480
00:28:59,837 --> 00:29:02,873
- That's too bad.
- There's no Shakespeare on TV.
481
00:29:03,048 --> 00:29:05,124
No. Perfectly fine.
Sometimes it comes on.
482
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:08,005
"To be or not to be.
That is the question," right?
483
00:29:08,178 --> 00:29:10,751
- Right.
- That is the question.
484
00:29:11,139 --> 00:29:14,803
PACINO: They do me wrong,
and I will not endure it.
485
00:29:16,143 --> 00:29:19,143
I fear our happiness is at its height.
486
00:29:19,354 --> 00:29:22,853
Who is it that complains
unto the king...
487
00:29:23,399 --> 00:29:26,483
...that I, forsooth, am stern,
and love them not?
488
00:29:27,111 --> 00:29:29,352
Because I cannot flatter...
489
00:29:29,530 --> 00:29:32,733
...Iook fair, smile in men's faces...
490
00:29:32,908 --> 00:29:36,987
...deceive, cog, duck with French nods
and apish courtesy...
491
00:29:37,161 --> 00:29:40,162
...I must be held a rancorous enemy.
492
00:29:40,331 --> 00:29:42,656
The world they live in...
493
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:47,411
...the world they exist in
is privy to these kinds of...
494
00:29:47,587 --> 00:29:52,213
- Is internecine family quarrel.
PACINO: That's right.
495
00:29:52,383 --> 00:29:56,760
They are clawing at each other
for the throne.
496
00:29:56,929 --> 00:30:01,637
Brother Gloucester,
we know your meaning.
497
00:30:01,975 --> 00:30:06,435
You envy my advancement
and my friends'.
498
00:30:06,896 --> 00:30:11,890
God grant we may never
have need of you!
499
00:30:12,067 --> 00:30:16,812
Meantime, God grants
that I have need of you.
500
00:30:17,655 --> 00:30:20,905
Our brother is imprison'd
by your means...
501
00:30:21,159 --> 00:30:22,783
...myself disgraced...
502
00:30:22,993 --> 00:30:24,986
...the nobility of the house
held in contempt...
503
00:30:25,162 --> 00:30:28,613
...while great promotions
are daily given to ennoble those...
504
00:30:28,790 --> 00:30:31,791
...that scarce, some two days since,
were worth a noble.
505
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,538
By Him that raised me
to this careful height...
506
00:30:36,714 --> 00:30:40,462
...from that contented hap
which I enjoy'd...
507
00:30:40,634 --> 00:30:46,553
...I never did incense his majesty
against the Duke of Clarence.
508
00:30:46,764 --> 00:30:51,556
You're gonna say you are not the mean
of my Lord Hastings' late imprisonment?
509
00:30:51,727 --> 00:30:54,218
You see? Richard's stirring the pot.
510
00:30:54,521 --> 00:30:57,771
The king is dying,
so he's fearful and paranoid...
511
00:30:57,941 --> 00:31:00,147
... and sending people to jail.
512
00:31:00,318 --> 00:31:03,936
This is a situation Richard loves.
He can use the fear...
513
00:31:04,113 --> 00:31:07,695
... the turmoil to his advantage.
He knows they hate each other.
514
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:10,820
He'll use their hatred
to manipulate them.
515
00:31:11,036 --> 00:31:13,361
You know, to divide, then conquer.
516
00:31:13,538 --> 00:31:16,289
My Lord of Gloucester,
I have too long borne...
517
00:31:16,457 --> 00:31:19,493
...these blunt upbraidings
and these bitter scoffs.
518
00:31:19,668 --> 00:31:23,417
By heaven, I will acquaint his majesty
of these gross taunts.
519
00:31:23,922 --> 00:31:27,373
- I'd rather be a country servant...
PACINO: What!
520
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:29,875
Threat you me with telling of the king?
521
00:31:30,053 --> 00:31:32,259
Tell him, and spare not.
522
00:31:32,847 --> 00:31:35,764
Let me put it in your minds,
if you forget...
523
00:31:35,933 --> 00:31:38,139
...what you are ere this,
and what you are.
524
00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:41,643
Withal, what I have been,
and what I am.
525
00:31:41,855 --> 00:31:45,437
A murderous villain,
and so still thou art.
526
00:31:45,816 --> 00:31:47,856
PACINO:
Well, it is a complicated play too.
527
00:31:48,027 --> 00:31:53,613
All those relationships and the wives,
the Queen Margaret stuff is difficult.
528
00:31:53,782 --> 00:31:56,735
Hear me, you wrangling pirates,
that fall out...
529
00:31:56,910 --> 00:32:00,527
...in sharing that which
you have pill'd from me!
530
00:32:02,206 --> 00:32:04,282
PACINO: Margaret was the queen
before the war.
531
00:32:04,458 --> 00:32:07,873
She was a Lancaster,
and she was dethroned by the Yorks.
532
00:32:08,044 --> 00:32:11,413
She's a ghost of the past,
haunting the Yorks with her curses.
533
00:32:11,589 --> 00:32:13,712
A husband and a son...
534
00:32:13,883 --> 00:32:18,176
Don't you think she rants and raves
around the castle like this a lot?
535
00:32:18,345 --> 00:32:19,720
PARSONS: No!
ALLEN: No?
536
00:32:19,888 --> 00:32:24,099
I don't think so.
I think she just comes in this day...
537
00:32:24,267 --> 00:32:26,722
...because it's a crisis time.
She feels it.
538
00:32:27,228 --> 00:32:30,976
Give way, dull clouds,
to my quick curses!
539
00:32:31,148 --> 00:32:32,856
It's primordial.
540
00:32:33,025 --> 00:32:36,892
She brings that kind of music
into this experience.
541
00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:39,395
Poor painted queen.
542
00:32:39,989 --> 00:32:44,033
The day will come that thou shalt wish
for me to help thee...
543
00:32:44,243 --> 00:32:47,612
...curse this poisonous
bunchback'd toad.
544
00:32:48,121 --> 00:32:50,826
LINDFORS: Reading this play,
as I take word by word...
545
00:32:51,374 --> 00:32:53,497
...everything she says happens.
546
00:32:54,210 --> 00:32:57,127
Beware of yonder dog! Look.
547
00:32:57,296 --> 00:33:00,083
Have not to do with him,
beware of him.
548
00:33:00,257 --> 00:33:03,460
Sin, death, and hell
have set their marks on him...
549
00:33:03,635 --> 00:33:07,467
...and all their messengers
await on him.
550
00:33:07,639 --> 00:33:10,805
PACINO: Thou hateful wither'd hag,
have done thy charm.
551
00:33:10,975 --> 00:33:13,051
And leave out thee?
552
00:33:13,227 --> 00:33:17,769
Stay, dog, for thou shalt hear me.
553
00:33:17,939 --> 00:33:23,229
The worm of conscience
still begnaw thy soul.
554
00:33:23,402 --> 00:33:29,938
Thou elvish-mark'd, abortive,
rooting hog.
555
00:33:30,117 --> 00:33:35,822
Live each of you
the subjects to his hate...
556
00:33:36,622 --> 00:33:42,625
...and he to yours,
and all of you to God's!
557
00:33:43,086 --> 00:33:45,162
We don't say a word. We let her go.
558
00:33:45,380 --> 00:33:48,583
REDGRAVE: The music...
Literally, I mean the music...
559
00:33:48,758 --> 00:33:52,043
... and the thoughts and the concepts...
560
00:33:52,219 --> 00:33:56,513
... and the feelings have not been
divorced from the words.
561
00:33:56,723 --> 00:34:01,634
In England, you've had centuries in
which word has been totally divorced...
562
00:34:01,853 --> 00:34:05,601
...from truth, and that's a problem
for us actors.
563
00:34:05,815 --> 00:34:09,230
If we think words are things
and have no feelings in words...
564
00:34:09,401 --> 00:34:12,318
...then we say things to each other
that mean nothing.
565
00:34:12,487 --> 00:34:16,698
But if we felt what we said,
we'd say less and mean more.
566
00:34:16,866 --> 00:34:18,693
Spare some change?
567
00:34:21,954 --> 00:34:25,821
Lt'd be interesting to see where he...
568
00:34:25,999 --> 00:34:28,751
- Is that possibly...?
- Where Shakespeare was born.
569
00:34:28,918 --> 00:34:31,872
PACINO: I think that's Shakespeare
up there in the window.
570
00:34:32,088 --> 00:34:34,709
Knock first. Knock, Frederic.
571
00:34:37,343 --> 00:34:40,047
PACINO: Hello. Frederic, you've...
KIMBALL: Okay.
572
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:44,383
- Where was William Shakespeare born?
- There's the bed of birth.
573
00:34:44,766 --> 00:34:48,680
KIMBALL: You gotta be kidding.
- I wouldn't kid about a thing like that.
574
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:50,596
It's too late.
575
00:34:51,730 --> 00:34:53,687
It's a very, very small bed.
576
00:34:53,899 --> 00:34:57,184
I was expecting to have an epiphany...
577
00:34:57,694 --> 00:35:01,109
...an outpouring of the soul
upon seeing...
578
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,818
- Go out and come in again.
- Where he was born.
579
00:35:03,991 --> 00:35:06,992
If you're really an actor, you can come
back and have an epiphany. I did.
580
00:35:07,161 --> 00:35:08,192
[SIREN WAILING]
581
00:35:08,370 --> 00:35:09,864
- Only...
- Did you have one?
582
00:35:10,038 --> 00:35:13,407
- I did not see it.
- I'm not showing it. It's an inner one.
583
00:35:13,583 --> 00:35:15,125
We're not alone.
584
00:35:15,460 --> 00:35:18,579
- Every once in a while...
- There's a fire truck out there.
585
00:35:18,754 --> 00:35:22,123
- I think we tripped an alarm.
- We should pause and think...
586
00:35:22,299 --> 00:35:25,549
You talked too loud
and it set off an alarm.
587
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,550
MAN 7: Fire alarm. I got the fire officer.
KIMBALL: We set it off.
588
00:35:29,722 --> 00:35:33,340
PACINO: There's a fireman. Oh, yes.
- Hello.
589
00:35:33,517 --> 00:35:37,265
Unfortunately, the sensor head is here.
There.
590
00:35:37,437 --> 00:35:39,595
That's going to be the problem.
591
00:35:40,607 --> 00:35:44,022
Yeah? What is it? Is it...?
592
00:35:44,193 --> 00:35:45,853
That's a real bummer.
593
00:35:46,028 --> 00:35:48,566
We come 6000 miles to see
where he was born...
594
00:35:48,739 --> 00:35:52,487
FEMALE SCHOLAR:
It's the greatest period in British arts.
595
00:35:52,701 --> 00:35:56,318
This extraordinary development
and maturing and death of drama.
596
00:35:56,496 --> 00:35:58,535
In 20 years, Shakespeare's over.
597
00:35:58,706 --> 00:36:00,745
You have our greatest drama.
598
00:36:00,916 --> 00:36:03,074
And Shakespeare learns incredibly fast.
599
00:36:03,252 --> 00:36:08,209
Already, in this very early play,
he's thinking about people as actors...
600
00:36:08,381 --> 00:36:09,959
...and about the stage.
601
00:36:10,133 --> 00:36:13,335
And the imagination as a bit of life.
602
00:36:15,387 --> 00:36:19,254
Hey, Jimmy?
How's the sandwich?
603
00:36:20,934 --> 00:36:24,801
We're gonna bite the bullet
and do Act 2 of the play.
604
00:36:24,979 --> 00:36:28,063
What we said was,
we're gonna shoot Richard's death...
605
00:36:28,232 --> 00:36:32,063
...and murder of Clarence, and that's it.
- No, the king makes peace.
606
00:36:32,235 --> 00:36:35,438
What are you saying?
We got an end of a movie to shoot.
607
00:36:35,613 --> 00:36:39,148
"My horse..." "A horse. A horse.
My kingdom for a horse."
608
00:36:39,325 --> 00:36:42,610
Fellas, the cops are here.
Police say we need a permit.
609
00:36:42,786 --> 00:36:44,743
You said you'd take care of things.
610
00:36:44,913 --> 00:36:48,033
What, I need...?
Why do I need a permit?
611
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:50,615
We have to give up a meal like this?
612
00:36:50,793 --> 00:36:54,079
OFFICER:
You have to go, guys. You have to go.
613
00:36:55,548 --> 00:36:57,623
PACINO:
Hope you like turkey.
614
00:36:58,926 --> 00:37:01,381
So, we are gonna get...
615
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:03,878
...a young Lady Anne.
616
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:06,007
I want somebody very young.
617
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,801
KIMBALL:
Very young. How young?
618
00:37:07,975 --> 00:37:09,635
As young as you can get...
619
00:37:09,810 --> 00:37:13,095
...and be able to do Shakespeare
and understand the scenes.
620
00:37:13,313 --> 00:37:15,769
Someone young enough to believe...
621
00:37:16,233 --> 00:37:17,561
...in Richard's rap.
622
00:37:17,776 --> 00:37:21,358
KIMBALL: The problem is, we need
someone who can speak the part...
623
00:37:21,529 --> 00:37:24,280
...which is why you always have
an older actress...
624
00:37:24,448 --> 00:37:27,614
...because it takes maturity.
- You know, we don't need...
625
00:37:27,784 --> 00:37:30,156
The problem of projecting the role...
626
00:37:30,328 --> 00:37:35,868
...because it's a film, so we won't have
the need for the actor to project.
627
00:37:36,042 --> 00:37:39,245
- We need a film actress.
- Great, great.
628
00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:41,827
Someone like...
629
00:37:43,632 --> 00:37:45,339
We'll think of someone.
630
00:37:45,508 --> 00:37:47,252
Well...
631
00:37:51,347 --> 00:37:54,264
PACINO:
I will marry the beautiful Lady Anne.
632
00:37:54,892 --> 00:37:59,968
What though I kill'd her husband
and his father?
633
00:38:01,105 --> 00:38:04,272
The readiest way to make
the wench amends...
634
00:38:04,442 --> 00:38:07,015
...is to become her husband
and her father.
635
00:38:09,113 --> 00:38:13,324
SCHOLAR 3: This language is
the language of thoughts.
636
00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:16,029
To do this in the theater,
you must speak loud.
637
00:38:16,202 --> 00:38:20,531
There are very few actors who can
speak loud and still be truthful.
638
00:38:20,706 --> 00:38:22,366
That's the actor's problem.
639
00:38:22,541 --> 00:38:26,289
Every actor knows the quieter he is,
the closer he can be to himself.
640
00:38:26,461 --> 00:38:28,584
When you play Shakespeare...
641
00:38:28,755 --> 00:38:30,628
...in close-up, in a film...
642
00:38:30,798 --> 00:38:34,001
...and have a mike
and can really speak the verse...
643
00:38:34,468 --> 00:38:38,548
... as quietly as this, you are not going
against the nature of verse.
644
00:38:38,722 --> 00:38:43,467
You're going in the right direction
because you're allowing the verse...
645
00:38:43,643 --> 00:38:48,020
...to be a man speaking his inner world.
646
00:38:50,399 --> 00:38:51,857
RYDER:
Set down...
647
00:38:52,025 --> 00:38:54,563
...set down your honourable load...
648
00:38:58,323 --> 00:39:02,023
...if honour may be shrouded in a hearse.
649
00:39:04,078 --> 00:39:08,988
PACINO: Was ever woman
in this humour woo'd?
650
00:39:10,375 --> 00:39:14,752
Was ever woman in this humour won?
651
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,258
I'll have her.
652
00:39:21,676 --> 00:39:25,425
I'll have her.
But I will not keep her long.
653
00:39:25,888 --> 00:39:28,426
He says he'll have her...
654
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:32,466
...but he will not keep her long.
HADGE: You're asking why he wants her?
655
00:39:32,644 --> 00:39:36,013
Well, I think it's clear,
he's out to get this girl.
656
00:39:36,815 --> 00:39:39,981
To take her...
657
00:39:40,735 --> 00:39:43,404

It's going to be in the chamber...
828
00:52:28,912 --> 00:52:33,490
...where the bell ringing unit is.
It's a really beautiful space.
829
00:52:33,666 --> 00:52:39,205
It's got this shaft of white light
coming down from the top.
830
00:52:39,379 --> 00:52:41,537
JIM:
That's where we'd place that.
831
00:52:41,715 --> 00:52:43,506
This is nice. Nice light.
832
00:52:47,219 --> 00:52:49,544
GUILFO YLE:
Shall we stab him as he sleeps?
833
00:52:50,347 --> 00:52:53,514
MACVITTIE: No. He'll say it was
done cowardly, when he wakes.
834
00:52:53,684 --> 00:52:57,218
GUILFO YLE: He shall never wake
until the great judgment-day.
835
00:52:57,395 --> 00:53:01,439
Faith, certain dregs of conscience
are here within me.
836
00:53:03,108 --> 00:53:06,145
Remember our reward,
when the deed is done.
837
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,071
- Come, he dies.
- Where's thy conscience now?
838
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,567
In the Duke of Gloucester's purse.
839
00:53:10,740 --> 00:53:13,278
When he opens his purse
to give us thy reward...
840
00:53:13,451 --> 00:53:15,942
...thy conscience flies out.
- 'Tis no matter.
841
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,453
- Few or none entertain it.
- What if it come to thee again?
842
00:53:20,832 --> 00:53:22,291
I'll not meddle with it.
843
00:53:22,459 --> 00:53:24,700
It makes a man a coward.
844
00:53:24,878 --> 00:53:30,037
A man cannot steal, but it accuseth him.
A man cannot lie, but it cheques him.
845
00:53:30,216 --> 00:53:32,671
A man cannot lie
with his neighbor's wife...
846
00:53:32,843 --> 00:53:34,717
...but it detects him.
847
00:53:35,387 --> 00:53:38,471
And any man that means to live well...
848
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:43,597
...endeavors to trust to himself
and live without it.
849
00:53:44,103 --> 00:53:45,645
Come...
850
00:53:45,813 --> 00:53:47,639
...shall we fall to work?
851
00:53:52,610 --> 00:53:57,604
PACINO: While this is going on with
Clarence, his brother is in the castle...
852
00:53:57,782 --> 00:53:59,655
... trying to make peace.
853
00:53:59,825 --> 00:54:02,446
KIMBALL: They've been summoned
for the atonement meeting.
854
00:54:02,619 --> 00:54:05,739
That's why everybody
is in the castle.
855
00:54:05,956 --> 00:54:08,790
The making peace.
856
00:54:08,958 --> 00:54:13,501
The king's family
are in incredible conflict.
857
00:54:13,712 --> 00:54:17,923
He dares not die until he knows they
won't pull the whole thing apart...
858
00:54:18,091 --> 00:54:21,127
...as soon as he's dead.
859
00:54:25,306 --> 00:54:29,552
I every day expect an embassage
from my Redeemer to redeem me hence.
860
00:54:29,726 --> 00:54:33,475
PACINO: The king wants this peace to
happen because he wants to make sure...
861
00:54:33,688 --> 00:54:37,021
... that after he's gone
his children will continue the reign.
862
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,768
He and his wife must hope...
863
00:54:40,945 --> 00:54:45,772
...that they will.
We know that you have another agenda.
864
00:54:51,287 --> 00:54:53,410
Strike!
865
00:54:56,792 --> 00:54:58,619
No, we'll reason with him first.
866
00:55:03,923 --> 00:55:06,710
Where art thou, keeper?
Give me a cup of wine.
867
00:55:06,884 --> 00:55:09,636
You shall have wine enough,
my lord...
868
00:55:09,803 --> 00:55:11,796
...anon.
869
00:55:18,519 --> 00:55:20,227
In God's name, what art thou?
870
00:55:20,563 --> 00:55:22,686
A man...
871
00:55:22,857 --> 00:55:24,564
...as you are.
872
00:55:26,735 --> 00:55:31,147
- But not, as I am, royal.
- Nor you, as we are, loyal.
873
00:55:31,322 --> 00:55:34,193
Who sent you hither?
Wherefore do you come?
874
00:55:34,408 --> 00:55:36,200
To...
875
00:55:37,286 --> 00:55:39,077
To...
876
00:55:39,997 --> 00:55:41,407
- To murder me?
- Ay.
877
00:55:41,623 --> 00:55:43,283
Ay.
878
00:55:48,087 --> 00:55:50,245
Wherein, my friends,
have I offended you?
879
00:55:50,423 --> 00:55:52,664
Offended us you have not...
880
00:55:52,841 --> 00:55:55,047
...but the king.
881
00:55:55,218 --> 00:55:58,005
I shall be reconciled to him again.
882
00:55:58,179 --> 00:55:59,590
GUILFO YLE:
Never, my lord.
883
00:55:59,806 --> 00:56:01,549
Therefore...
884
00:56:02,850 --> 00:56:04,392
...prepare to die.
885
00:56:07,187 --> 00:56:08,516
Hastings.
886
00:56:09,106 --> 00:56:12,688
Rivers, take each other's hand.
887
00:56:13,193 --> 00:56:14,852
Dissemble not your hatred...
888
00:56:15,778 --> 00:56:17,984
...swear your love.
889
00:56:18,864 --> 00:56:20,655
So prosper I...
890
00:56:20,824 --> 00:56:23,315
...as I swear perfect love!
891
00:56:23,952 --> 00:56:26,158
And so swear I.
892
00:56:29,957 --> 00:56:33,326
Madam, yourself is not
exempt from this.
893
00:56:34,253 --> 00:56:36,791
Wife, love Lord Hastings...
894
00:56:36,964 --> 00:56:39,289
...let him kiss your hand.
895
00:56:39,591 --> 00:56:42,260
ALLEN:
There, Hastings.
896
00:56:43,177 --> 00:56:46,961
I never more shall remember
our former hatred...
897
00:56:47,139 --> 00:56:49,926
...so thrive I and mine.
898
00:56:50,809 --> 00:56:52,683
LINDFORS:
Do they really believe all this?
899
00:56:53,019 --> 00:56:56,388
Do they really believe it when you say,
"Take their hand"?
900
00:56:56,564 --> 00:56:58,603
PACINO: It's a vow.
KIMBALL: A solemn vow.
901
00:56:58,816 --> 00:57:00,855
In this time, that's a solemn thing.
902
00:57:01,068 --> 00:57:06,738
Only people who want to go to hell
would make vows and not keep them.
903
00:57:07,991 --> 00:57:10,316
If you are hired for meed...
904
00:57:10,493 --> 00:57:14,490
...go back again, and I will send you
to my brother Richard...
905
00:57:14,663 --> 00:57:17,154
...who shall reward you better
for my life...
906
00:57:17,666 --> 00:57:19,991
...than Edward will
for tidings of my death.
907
00:57:20,794 --> 00:57:26,084
Come, you deceive yourself. 'Tis he
that sends us to destroy you here.
908
00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:31,633
It cannot be...
909
00:57:32,763 --> 00:57:35,763
...for he bewept my fortune...
910
00:57:35,932 --> 00:57:39,135
... and swore, with sobs,
that he would labor my delivery.
911
00:57:39,310 --> 00:57:41,386
PACINO: Touches me deeper
than you can imagine.
912
00:57:41,896 --> 00:57:43,556
MACVITTIE:
So he doth...
913
00:57:43,731 --> 00:57:47,728
...when he delivers you from this earth's
thraldom to the joys of heaven.
914
00:57:48,235 --> 00:57:50,192
GUILFO YLE:
Make peace with God...
915
00:57:50,779 --> 00:57:53,530
...for you must die, my lord.
916
00:57:55,116 --> 00:57:57,357
Have you that holy feeling
in your soul...
917
00:57:57,535 --> 00:58:00,571
...to counsel me to make my peace
with God?
918
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,449
And are you yet to your own souls...
919
00:58:05,917 --> 00:58:10,080
...so blind, that you wilt war with God
by murdering me?
920
00:58:14,466 --> 00:58:16,044
O sirs...
921
00:58:16,218 --> 00:58:20,215
...consider, those that set you on
to do this deed...
922
00:58:21,180 --> 00:58:24,383
...will hate you for the deed.
923
00:58:27,561 --> 00:58:29,020
What shall we do?
924
00:58:30,605 --> 00:58:32,397
Relent...
925
00:58:32,607 --> 00:58:34,896
...and save your souls.
926
00:58:36,110 --> 00:58:38,862
Relent! No. 'Tis cowardly and womanish.
927
00:58:39,238 --> 00:58:42,986
Not to relent is brutish...
928
00:58:43,158 --> 00:58:45,281
...savage...
929
00:58:46,161 --> 00:58:48,319
...devilish.
930
00:58:50,331 --> 00:58:51,659
My friend...
931
00:58:52,166 --> 00:58:55,120
...I spy some pity in thy looks.
932
00:58:56,295 --> 00:59:01,454
O, if thine eye be not a flatterer, come
thou on my side, and entreat for me...
933
00:59:01,633 --> 00:59:05,796
...as you would beg,
were you in my distress.
934
00:59:06,554 --> 00:59:11,180
A begging prince
what beggar pities not?
935
00:59:17,897 --> 00:59:19,391
Look behind you, my lord.
936
00:59:46,172 --> 00:59:48,959
Is Clarence dead?
937
00:59:50,134 --> 00:59:52,506
The order was reversed.
938
00:59:53,136 --> 00:59:57,597
But he, poor man,
by your first order died.
939
01:00:01,936 --> 01:00:05,186
YULIN: Have I a tongue to doom
my brother's death?
940
01:00:05,356 --> 01:00:06,933
My brother killed no man.
941
01:00:07,107 --> 01:00:09,479
His fault was thought...
942
01:00:09,651 --> 01:00:12,272
...and yet his punishment
was bitter death.
943
01:00:14,030 --> 01:00:16,271
Who sued to me for him?
944
01:00:16,449 --> 01:00:20,991
Who kneel'd at my feet,
and in my wrath, bid me be advised?
945
01:00:22,329 --> 01:00:24,701
Who spoke of brotherhood?
946
01:00:24,873 --> 01:00:27,577
Who spoke of love?
947
01:00:29,502 --> 01:00:31,044
The proudest of you all...
948
01:00:31,212 --> 01:00:34,378
...have been beholding to him
in his life.
949
01:00:34,548 --> 01:00:40,632
Yet not one of you
would once beg for his life.
950
01:00:40,803 --> 01:00:45,631
O God, I fear thy justice
will take hold on me, and you...
951
01:00:45,808 --> 01:00:49,307
...and mine, and yours for this!
952
01:00:50,437 --> 01:00:54,933
Come, Hastings, help me to my closet.
953
01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:23,203
WOMAN 1: What is it in theater?
Why do we want to do it?
954
01:01:23,424 --> 01:01:27,338
We want to do theater
because of that personal presence.
955
01:01:27,511 --> 01:01:32,173
West Germany gave a billion dollars
a year to the arts.
956
01:01:32,391 --> 01:01:36,803
I gave up a TV movie in France
to do Richard III in Milwaukee.
957
01:01:37,103 --> 01:01:41,147
I was talking to my teacher,
and she said, "You will benefit."
958
01:01:41,857 --> 01:01:45,060
Kevin Costner did that TV show.
959
01:01:45,235 --> 01:01:49,149
- You lost out. Look at his career.
- He's afraid to do Shakespeare.
960
01:01:49,322 --> 01:01:51,314
No, he's in the other room practicing.
961
01:01:58,288 --> 01:02:01,657
PACINO: The Anointed Shakespeare.
WOMAN 2: "Annotated."
962
01:02:01,833 --> 01:02:03,872
It's got beautiful pictures.
963
01:02:04,169 --> 01:02:06,042
It's got beautiful pictures.
964
01:02:06,212 --> 01:02:09,213
That's what I like about Shakespeare,
the pictures.
965
01:02:21,642 --> 01:02:24,559
HADGE:
He's dead. Okay.
966
01:02:25,479 --> 01:02:27,222
Okay.
967
01:02:31,234 --> 01:02:34,235
Well, what are we gonna do?
968
01:02:34,404 --> 01:02:36,610
- Okay.
- I like it.
969
01:02:37,239 --> 01:02:38,698
What next?
970
01:02:38,866 --> 01:02:40,692
What do you mean, you like it?
971
01:02:46,664 --> 01:02:49,499
MAN 8: What time is it?
MAN 9: 3:30.
972
01:02:49,667 --> 01:02:51,873
MAN 8:
What are they doing, do you know?
973
01:02:52,044 --> 01:02:55,578
MAN 9: Freddie said something
about burying the king.
974
01:02:55,756 --> 01:02:57,214
MAN 8:
Is that in the play?
975
01:03:03,679 --> 01:03:05,802
Now is the winter of our discontent...
... made glorious summer..
976
01:03:07,973 --> 01:03:10,012
... by this sun of York.
977
01:03:10,856 --> 01:03:14,520
Welcome...
...to London.
978
01:03:16,693 --> 01:03:19,153
This is the first opportunity since 1640s...
979
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,401
...to actualy get a feel of what the Shakespeare's
Globe Theatre was like.
980
01:03:21,574 --> 01:03:26,236
This is the very theatre where Shakespeare
wrote his plays, where he acted.
981
01:03:26,412 --> 01:03:27,600
This is the theatre that Shakespeare owned.
982
01:03:27,700 --> 01:03:29,998
So this is the spot?
983
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:32,578
If you stand in the middle of it,
what happens?
984
01:03:32,750 --> 01:03:35,589
It's like a sounding board,
like a resonating chamber.
985
01:03:35,757 --> 01:03:38,400
-You can hear the wonderful acoustics.
-I hear it already. -In this theatre.
986
01:03:39,428 --> 01:03:42,097
Now is the winter of our discontent. . .
987
01:03:42,300 --> 01:03:45,097
. . .made glorious summer. . .
988
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,887
. . .by this sun of York.
989
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,401
And all the clouds
that lour'd on our house. . .
990
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:57,200
. . .in the deep bosom of the ocean. . . .
991
01:03:57,450 --> 01:04:01,682
-Hi. Are you working on this?
-I am. I've been recording it since 1980.
992
01:04:02,485 --> 01:04:05,936
-You've been recording this since 1980?
-Yeah. The whole shebang.
993
01:04:06,100 --> 01:04:08,524
-Really?
-And who is this?
994
01:04:08,949 --> 01:04:11,566
This is the son of one of the builders.
995
01:04:11,744 --> 01:04:13,823
PACINO:
Welcome, sweet prince, to London.
996
01:04:14,039 --> 01:04:16,411
My thoughts' sovereign.
997
01:04:18,583 --> 01:04:21,584
The weary way
hath made you melancholy.
998
01:04:21,700 --> 01:04:26,043
-I want more uncles here to welcome me.
-Sweet prince. . .
999
01:04:26,580 --> 01:04:29,132
. . .those uncles which you want were dangerous.
1000
01:04:29,799 --> 01:04:31,934
Your grace attended
to their sugar'd words. . .
1001
01:04:32,429 --> 01:04:34,966
. . .but look'd not on the poison
of their hearts.
1002
01:04:35,139 --> 01:04:37,219
God keep you from such false friends!
1003
01:04:37,393 --> 01:04:39,768
God keep me from false friends!
But they were none.
1004
01:04:44,936 --> 01:04:47,269
The mayor of London
comes to greet you.
1005
01:04:48,439 --> 01:04:52,150
Okay, now they got the kids. They got
the young prince who 'll be king.
1006
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,800
-They got his brother.
Uncle Richard has one big happy family.
1007
01:04:55,580 --> 01:04:58,144
Yeah. Somebody's gotta go.
1008
01:04:58,321 --> 01:05:00,903
Will't please you pass along?
1009
01:05:01,074 --> 01:05:04,241
myself and my good cousin Buckingham
entreat your mother to come. . .
1010
01:05:03,871 --> 01:05:05,745
. . .and welcome you at the Tower.
1011
01:05:05,770 --> 01:05:07,609
What, will you go unto the Tower,
my lord?
1012
01:05:07,626 --> 01:05:09,832
-What should you fear at the Tower?
-Nothing.
1013
01:05:10,045 --> 01:05:11,919
Why has he put them in the Tower?
1014
01:05:12,130 --> 01:05:14,458
He's going to kill them.
1015
01:05:14,632 --> 01:05:16,632
The Tower is where they execute. . . .
1016
01:05:16,801 --> 01:05:21,260
They chop people's heads off.
There are many rooms up there.
1017
01:05:21,553 --> 01:05:25,047
So it can also go for meetings
and different places.
1018
01:05:25,221 --> 01:05:27,379
But there is one specific spot
up there. . .
1019
01:05:27,598 --> 01:05:31,975
. . .where they. . . .
1020
01:05:32,143 --> 01:05:34,017
They do the. . . .
You know, do the thing.
1021
01:05:34,187 --> 01:05:37,223
The one person who is in line is a child.
1022
01:05:36,774 --> 01:05:39,558
What a wonderful opportunity
for all of us to get what we want.
1023
01:05:39,736 --> 01:05:42,152
-Of course.
-I'll basically be running the country.
1024
01:05:42,323 --> 01:05:46,196
One person 's standing
in their way: Lord Hastings.
1025
01:05:48,366 --> 01:05:51,865
Hastings loves this kid, the prince.
1026
01:05:52,036 --> 01:05:54,451
He really wants him to be
the next king.
1027
01:05:54,622 --> 01:05:56,908
Though the kid's in the Tower,
he believes he will be.
1028
01:05:57,084 --> 01:05:58,792
He's tough.
Tough Guy Hastings.
1029
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,917
He was the former king's
closest friend.
1030
01:06:01,087 --> 01:06:04,832
They even shared a mistress.
Mistress Shore. Who is she?
1031
01:06:05,137 --> 01:06:08,953
She's Shakespeare's device
to connect Hastings and the king together.
1032
01:06:08,971 --> 01:06:11,390
They share the same woman.
-Good idea.
1033
01:06:14,391 --> 01:06:17,477
Hastings is a great threat
to Richard and Buckingham.
1034
01:06:17,478 --> 01:06:20,938
He can stop them,
so they have to stop him.
1035
01:06:20,939 --> 01:06:23,357
What shall we do...
1036
01:06:23,358 --> 01:06:29,070
...if we perceive Lord Hastings
will not yield to our complots?
1037
01:06:29,071 --> 01:06:31,697
Chop off his head.
1038
01:06:31,698 --> 01:06:34,742
What are you talking about, Richard?
1039
01:06:34,743 --> 01:06:37,202
You mean Richard wear the crown?
1040
01:06:37,203 --> 01:06:40,705
I think it's the only way.
1041
01:06:40,706 --> 01:06:43,666
- Think about it.
- Let me tell you something.
1042
01:06:43,667 --> 01:06:46,085
I'll have this crown...
1043
01:06:46,086 --> 01:06:49,213
...this crown ripped off...
1044
01:06:49,214 --> 01:06:52,215
...and shoved into a cow's belly...
1045
01:06:52,216 --> 01:06:56,678
...before I would allow that scum
to defile the crown...
1046
01:06:56,679 --> 01:06:58,888
...by putting it on his head.
1047
01:06:58,889 --> 01:07:04,059
SCHOLAR 3: The text is only a means
of expressing what's behind the text.
1048
01:07:04,060 --> 01:07:09,147
If you get obsessed with the text...
This is a barrier to American actors...
1049
01:07:09,148 --> 01:07:13,651
...who get obsessed with the British
way of regarding a text.
1050
01:07:13,652 --> 01:07:17,655
That isn't what matters. What matters
is that you have to penetrate...
1051
01:07:17,656 --> 01:07:20,407
...into what, at every moment,
it's about.
1052
01:07:20,408 --> 01:07:26,287
So at this point, Hastings does not
take the threat of Richard seriously?
1053
01:07:26,288 --> 01:07:28,039
KIMBALL:
Absolutely not.
1054
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,083
Anything can go on.
You think that this guy...?
1055
01:07:31,084 --> 01:07:33,752
PACINO: So now we've got Stanley.
Lord Stanley.
1056
01:07:33,753 --> 01:07:37,172
He's a friend of Hastings
and he's trying to convince him...
1057
01:07:37,173 --> 01:07:41,509
... they should get out of the country
because Richard's planning a takeover.
1058
01:07:41,510 --> 01:07:45,596
Some treachery,
at the council meeting...
1059
01:07:45,597 --> 01:07:47,931
... to pick the prince's coronation date.
1060
01:07:47,932 --> 01:07:53,311
My noble lords. The cause why we are
met is, to determine of the coronation.
1061
01:07:53,312 --> 01:07:56,981
In God's name, speak.
When is the royal day?
1062
01:07:56,982 --> 01:08:01,902
- Is all things ready for the royal time?
- It is, and wants but nomination.
1063
01:08:01,903 --> 01:08:04,362
To-morrow, then, I judge a happy day.
1064
01:08:04,363 --> 01:08:08,032
Tomorrow has been prepared
as a great feast day...
1065
01:08:08,033 --> 01:08:12,995
...of coronation and requires only
that we at this table say yes.
1066
01:08:12,996 --> 01:08:17,874
We think we have been brought together
just to rubber-stamp the prince.
1067
01:08:17,875 --> 01:08:20,418
PACINO: It's a fait accompli,
the prince will be king.
1068
01:08:20,419 --> 01:08:22,837
They're just there to pick the date.
1069
01:08:22,838 --> 01:08:25,214
SPACEY:
Who knows Richard's mind in all this?
1070
01:08:25,215 --> 01:08:28,926
Who is the most inward
with the noble duke?
1071
01:08:28,927 --> 01:08:31,803
On the duke's behalf
I'll give my voice...
1072
01:08:31,804 --> 01:08:35,682
...which, I presume,
he'll take in gentle part.
1073
01:08:35,683 --> 01:08:38,226
In happy time,
here comes the gentle duke.
1074
01:08:38,227 --> 01:08:41,312
My noble lords and cousins all,
good morrow.
1075
01:08:41,313 --> 01:08:43,939
I have been long a sleeper.
But I trust...
1076
01:08:43,940 --> 01:08:48,526
...my absence doth neglect no design,
which might have been concluded.
1077
01:08:48,527 --> 01:08:50,320
Had you not come, my lord...
1078
01:08:50,321 --> 01:08:53,322
...William Lord Hastings
had pronounced your part...
1079
01:08:53,323 --> 01:08:55,741
I mean, your voice...
1080
01:08:55,742 --> 01:08:57,534
...for crowning of the king.
1081
01:08:57,535 --> 01:08:59,327
PACINO:
Than no man might be bolder.
1082
01:08:59,328 --> 01:09:03,790
His lordship knows me well,
and loves me well. My lord of Ely!
1083
01:09:03,791 --> 01:09:05,875
When last I was in Holborn...
1084
01:09:05,876 --> 01:09:08,961
...I saw good strawberries
in your garden there...
1085
01:09:08,962 --> 01:09:11,380
...I do beseech you send
for some of them.
1086
01:09:11,381 --> 01:09:13,507
KIMBALL:
Marry, and will, my lord.
1087
01:09:13,508 --> 01:09:17,552
Cousin of Buckingham,
a word with you.
1088
01:09:17,553 --> 01:09:23,932
Remember we talked the other day
about a gathering of dons, in a way.
1089
01:09:23,933 --> 01:09:26,268
There's a lot of suspicion in this room.
1090
01:09:26,269 --> 01:09:29,145
I think there's a danger
to be in this room.
1091
01:09:29,146 --> 01:09:30,772
All of us in one spot.
1092
01:09:30,773 --> 01:09:34,400
And it's like somebody says,
"Just wait here, I'll be back."
1093
01:09:34,401 --> 01:09:39,780
Or, you know, "Wait in this room..."
And it's been like, "What's going on?"
1094
01:09:39,781 --> 01:09:43,033
PACINO: It's simple.
They have to cut out Hastings...
1095
01:09:43,034 --> 01:09:46,160
... and only Richard
has the power to do it.
1096
01:09:46,161 --> 01:09:48,913
He's royal, a York,
but he must move fast.
1097
01:09:48,914 --> 01:09:53,000
It's his last chance to stop Hastings
from making the prince king.
1098
01:09:53,001 --> 01:09:56,878
KIMBALL: They'll suck in Hastings
using his mistress, Jane Shore, as bait.
1099
01:09:56,879 --> 01:09:59,130
Provoke him to say the wrong thing.
1100
01:09:59,131 --> 01:10:04,260
PACINO: Then everyone has to make a
choice, either Richard or Hastings.
1101
01:10:04,261 --> 01:10:11,558
Where is my lord, the Duke of Gloucester?
I have sent for these strawberries.
1102
01:10:11,559 --> 01:10:15,478
His grace looks cheerfully
and smooth this morning.
1103
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,147
There's some conceit
or other likes him well...
1104
01:10:18,148 --> 01:10:21,275
...with that he bids good morrow
with such spirit.
1105
01:10:21,276 --> 01:10:25,695
There's never a man in Christendom
can lesser hide his love or hate than he.
1106
01:10:25,696 --> 01:10:28,990
For by his face straight
shall you know his heart.
1107
01:10:28,991 --> 01:10:32,785
What of his heart perceive you
by any livelihood he show'd to-day?
1108
01:10:32,786 --> 01:10:36,079
Marry, that with no man here
he is offended.
1109
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:48,257
For, if he were,
you'd seen it in his looks.
1110
01:10:48,258 --> 01:10:51,676
I pray you all...
1111
01:10:51,677 --> 01:10:54,262
...tell me what they deserve...
1112
01:10:54,263 --> 01:10:57,849
...that do conspire my death...
1113
01:10:57,850 --> 01:11:02,144
...with devilish plots
of damned witchcraft...
1114
01:11:02,145 --> 01:11:05,647
...and that have prevail'd
upon my body...
1115
01:11:05,648 --> 01:11:10,693
...with their hellish charms?
1116
01:11:10,694 --> 01:11:14,697
The tender love I bear your grace,
my lord, makes me most forward...
1117
01:11:14,698 --> 01:11:19,117
...in this princely presence to doom
the offenders, whosoe'er they be.
1118
01:11:19,118 --> 01:11:25,456
I say, my lord,
they have deserved death.
1119
01:11:25,457 --> 01:11:32,796
Then be your eyes
the witness of their ill.
1120
01:11:32,797 --> 01:11:35,590
Look...
1121
01:11:35,591 --> 01:11:38,551
...how I am bewitch'd.
1122
01:11:38,552 --> 01:11:41,387
Behold mine arm...
1123
01:11:41,388 --> 01:11:45,724
...like a blasted sapling, wither'd up.
1124
01:11:45,725 --> 01:11:50,353
And this is Edward's wife...
1125
01:11:50,354 --> 01:11:53,314
...that monstrous witch...
1126
01:11:53,315 --> 01:11:57,693
...consorted with the harlot
strumpet Shore...
1127
01:11:57,694 --> 01:12:00,279
...that by their witchcraft...
1128
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,989
...thus have marked me.
1129
01:12:02,990 --> 01:12:06,617
- Lf they have done this deed...
- lf!
1130
01:12:06,618 --> 01:12:08,786
Lf...
1131
01:12:08,787 --> 01:12:12,998
...thou protector of this
damned strumpet...
1132
01:12:12,999 --> 01:12:18,962
Talkest thou to me of "ifs"?
1133
01:12:18,963 --> 01:12:22,173
Off with his head!
1134
01:12:22,174 --> 01:12:24,467
Now, by Saint Paul...
1135
01:12:24,468 --> 01:12:28,178
...I swear, I will not dine
until I see the same.
1136
01:12:28,179 --> 01:12:31,014
Lovel and Ratcliffe,
look that it be done.
1137
01:12:31,015 --> 01:12:33,183
The rest, that love me...
1138
01:12:33,184 --> 01:12:42,316
...rise and follow me.
1139
01:12:42,317 --> 01:12:45,318
MAN 9:
Stan...
1140
01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:51,574
Stanley!
1141
01:12:51,575 --> 01:13:03,000
Stan...
1142
01:13:03,001 --> 01:13:06,504
Woe for England!
1143
01:13:06,505 --> 01:13:10,674
Not a whit for me.
1144
01:13:10,675 --> 01:13:14,094
For I, too fond,
might have prevented this.
1145
01:13:14,095 --> 01:13:15,803
Come, dispatch.
1146
01:13:15,804 --> 01:13:17,972
'Tis bootless to exclaim.
1147
01:13:17,973 --> 01:13:25,562
Bloody Richard!
1148
01:13:25,563 --> 01:13:27,856
PACINO:
Hastings was the fly in the ointment.
1149
01:13:27,857 --> 01:13:30,525
The path is clear
for Buckingham and Richard.
1150
01:13:30,526 --> 01:13:34,778
They got the inner circle. They've
intimidated all the dukes and earls.
1151
01:13:34,779 --> 01:13:36,572
So now...
1152
01:13:36,573 --> 01:13:39,658
... all that's left is winning the people.
1153
01:13:39,659 --> 01:13:43,578
SPACEY: Every time there's an election
in this country, whether for mayor...
1154
01:13:43,579 --> 01:13:45,663
... president or city council...
1155
01:13:45,664 --> 01:13:50,793
...the fact is people are tired of the way
it's been and want a change.
1156
01:13:50,794 --> 01:13:54,796
How now, how now,
what say the citizens?
1157
01:13:54,797 --> 01:13:58,132
Now, by the holy mother of our Lord,
the citizens are mum.
1158
01:13:58,133 --> 01:14:03,470
I expected them to be boisterous,
and that they would come and rally.
1159
01:14:03,471 --> 01:14:05,681
- Did they so?
- No...
1160
01:14:05,682 --> 01:14:08,016
...so God help me,
they spake not a word.
1161
01:14:08,017 --> 01:14:12,312
But, like dumb statues, stared each
other on, and look'd deadly pale.
1162
01:14:12,313 --> 01:14:14,105
And did they so?
1163
01:14:14,106 --> 01:14:16,524
No!
1164
01:14:16,525 --> 01:14:18,734
What, are you deaf?
1165
01:14:18,735 --> 01:14:20,902
I'm saying, whatever their reaction...
1166
01:14:20,903 --> 01:14:23,196
...we had this plan.
- We still had it.
1167
01:14:23,197 --> 01:14:24,823
SPACEY:
So they're being told...
1168
01:14:24,824 --> 01:14:29,952
... that here, right before your eyes,
is the man who will make it better.
1169
01:14:29,953 --> 01:14:31,704
And, see...
1170
01:14:31,705 --> 01:14:35,374
...a book of prayer in his hand,
true ornaments...
1171
01:14:35,375 --> 01:14:37,459
...to know a holy man.
1172
01:14:37,460 --> 01:14:41,337
Irony is really only hypocrisy with style.
1173
01:14:41,338 --> 01:14:45,090
Here again, we love
Richard's irony, in a way.
1174
01:14:45,091 --> 01:14:50,303
We know he's as hard as nails,
that he's only pretending to be religious.
1175
01:14:50,304 --> 01:14:54,557
PACINO: They canvass like politicians.
Complete with lies and innuendo...
1176
01:14:54,558 --> 01:14:56,225
... they manage...
1177
01:14:56,226 --> 01:15:02,731
... to malign this young prince,
who is the rightful heir to the throne.
1178
01:15:02,732 --> 01:15:04,232
And they know it.
1179
01:15:04,233 --> 01:15:06,359
Infer the bastardy of Edward's children.
1180
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,986
And they say he was a bastard...
1181
01:15:08,987 --> 01:15:11,322
... that his father was a bastard.
1182
01:15:11,323 --> 01:15:15,701
It's an act, and these people buy it.
It's a complete lie.
1183
01:15:15,702 --> 01:15:17,619
SPACEY:
We heartily solicit you...
1184
01:15:17,620 --> 01:15:20,830
...to take on the kingly government
of this your land...
1185
01:15:20,831 --> 01:15:25,918
...not as protector, steward, substitute,
or lowly factor for another's gain.
1186
01:15:25,919 --> 01:15:28,962
But as successively
from blood to blood...
1187
01:15:28,963 --> 01:15:36,678
...your right of birth,
your empery, your own.
1188
01:15:36,679 --> 01:15:40,264
Since you will buckle fortune
on my back...
1189
01:15:40,265 --> 01:15:46,061
...to bear her burden,
whether I will or no...
1190
01:15:46,062 --> 01:15:49,397
...I must have patience
to endure the load.
1191
01:15:49,398 --> 01:15:54,276
CROWD: Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!
1192
01:15:54,277 --> 01:15:56,487
Long live King Richard!
1193
01:15:56,488 --> 01:16:02,242
In the midst of these noble concepts,
these treaties and diplomatic pacts...
1194
01:16:02,243 --> 01:16:05,912
...he was saying
the truth beneath all this...
1195
01:16:05,913 --> 01:16:08,664
...is absolutely the opposite.
1196
01:16:08,665 --> 01:16:11,792
The truth is that those in power...
1197
01:16:11,793 --> 01:16:15,670
...have total contempt
for everything they promise...
1198
01:16:15,671 --> 01:16:17,839
...everything they pledge.
1199
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:21,092
And that's what Shakespeare's
great play is about.
1200
01:16:21,093 --> 01:16:24,970
The reason why Shakespeare
is really important...
1201
01:16:24,971 --> 01:16:27,764
...is because, in the Talmudic theme...
1202
01:16:27,765 --> 01:16:31,434
I've taken Lady Macbeth
and put her in a rock 'n' roll context.
1203
01:16:31,435 --> 01:16:33,394
She's singing the blues.
1204
01:16:33,395 --> 01:16:36,522
- Which is really a yin-yang or Chinese.
1205
01:16:36,523 --> 01:16:39,233
Hamlet's like every kid
who's freaked out...
1206
01:16:39,234 --> 01:16:41,360
...his mother, his father...
1207
01:16:41,361 --> 01:16:46,281
The way to truly live is to hold
both points of view at the same time.
1208
01:16:46,282 --> 01:16:49,492
I have them singing the blues,
doing the beat.
1209
01:16:49,493 --> 01:16:53,078
But an American audience
gets intimidated. They hear "Hamlet."
1210
01:16:53,079 --> 01:16:54,871
They hear "Shakespeare."
1211
01:16:54,872 --> 01:16:58,166
You must get me out of this.
1212
01:16:58,167 --> 01:17:00,585
Get me out of this documentary.
1213
01:17:00,586 --> 01:17:04,088
This idea was a bad idea.
It's gone too far.
1214
01:17:04,089 --> 01:17:08,467
- Take you away from all this?
- I wanna go. I wanna...
1215
01:17:08,468 --> 01:17:10,719
I want to be the king.
1216
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:19,518
I want to be king, Frederic.
Make me king.
1217
01:17:19,519 --> 01:17:23,939
CROWD: Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!
1218
01:17:23,940 --> 01:17:28,359
Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!
1219
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,656
KIMBALL: As soon as he gets what
he wants, Lady Anne, the crown...
1220
01:17:33,657 --> 01:17:36,450
...then the whole thing...
- The emptiness of it.
1221
01:17:36,451 --> 01:17:39,160
- Cousin of Buckingham!
- My gracious sovereign?
1222
01:17:39,161 --> 01:17:41,538
PACINO:
Give me thy hand.
1223
01:17:41,539 --> 01:17:46,959
Thus high, by thy advice
and thy assistance...
1224
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:50,420
...is King Richard...
1225
01:17:50,421 --> 01:17:55,800
...seated.
1226
01:17:55,801 --> 01:18:00,012
But shall we wear
these glories for a day?
1227
01:18:00,013 --> 01:18:02,264
Or shall they last...
1228
01:18:02,265 --> 01:18:06,893
...and we rejoice in them?
1229
01:18:06,894 --> 01:18:11,272
Still they live and for ever
may they last!
1230
01:18:11,273 --> 01:18:13,065
Buckingham...
1231
01:18:13,066 --> 01:18:15,651
...now do I play the touch.
1232
01:18:15,652 --> 01:18:19,696
Young Edward lives.
1233
01:18:19,697 --> 01:18:24,158
Think now what I would speak.
1234
01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:26,619
Say on, my loving lord.
1235
01:18:26,620 --> 01:18:31,165
Shall I be plain?
1236
01:18:31,166 --> 01:18:33,500
I wish the bastards...
1237
01:18:33,501 --> 01:18:35,043
...dead.
1238
01:18:35,044 --> 01:18:40,298
Why is it necessary now to kill them?
You're king. What difference...?
1239
01:18:40,299 --> 01:18:43,759
- It's...
- But as long as they live.
1240
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,887
What sayest thou now?
1241
01:18:46,888 --> 01:18:52,350
Speak suddenly. Be brief.
1242
01:18:52,351 --> 01:18:57,897
Your grace may do his pleasure.
1243
01:18:57,898 --> 01:19:01,274
Thou art all ice...
1244
01:19:01,275 --> 01:19:03,193
...thy kindness freezeth.
1245
01:19:03,194 --> 01:19:05,612
FEMALE SCHOLAR:
Everybody may have a price...
1246
01:19:05,613 --> 01:19:09,615
...but for a lot of people,
there is a fundamental decency.
1247
01:19:09,616 --> 01:19:13,535
It takes a long time for them
to reach that point.
1248
01:19:13,536 --> 01:19:17,747
The action of the play,
the sense of exciting movement...
1249
01:19:17,748 --> 01:19:23,628
...is Richard's finding out the point
beyond which people won't go.
1250
01:19:23,629 --> 01:19:28,298
PACINO:
Say, then that I have thy consent...
1251
01:19:28,299 --> 01:19:30,425
...that they shall die?
1252
01:19:30,426 --> 01:19:32,385
It's an interesting question...
1253
01:19:32,386 --> 01:19:35,096
...about where Buckingham is...
1254
01:19:35,097 --> 01:19:39,517
How far he's willing to go,
where he's willing to draw the line.
1255
01:19:39,518 --> 01:19:43,228
It's as if everything Buckingham
does in the play...
1256
01:19:43,229 --> 01:19:47,440
...somehow manages
to keep the blood off his hands.
1257
01:19:47,441 --> 01:19:52,028
Give me some little breath,
some pause, dear my lord...
1258
01:19:52,029 --> 01:19:56,865
...before I speak positively in this.
1259
01:19:56,866 --> 01:20:02,120
I shall resolve you herein presently.
1260
01:20:02,121 --> 01:20:05,498
The king is angry.
1261
01:20:05,499 --> 01:20:08,959
None are for me...
1262
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:13,713
...that look into me
with considerate eyes.
1263
01:20:13,714 --> 01:20:16,966
He is bound to be left alone...
1264
01:20:16,967 --> 01:20:20,636
...because nobody can love the king...
1265
01:20:20,637 --> 01:20:26,266
...beyond the degree of their own egoism
or their own goodness.
1266
01:20:26,267 --> 01:20:30,687
There will be a point.
He has reached Buckingham's point.
1267
01:20:30,688 --> 01:20:34,523
That deep-revolving...
1268
01:20:34,524 --> 01:20:37,317
...witty Buckingham...
1269
01:20:37,318 --> 01:20:40,654
...shall no longer be neighbor
to my counsels.
1270
01:20:40,655 --> 01:20:42,405
What?
1271
01:20:42,406 --> 01:20:47,451
Hath he held out with me
so long, untired...
1272
01:20:47,452 --> 01:20:51,205
...stops he now for breath?
1273
01:20:51,206 --> 01:20:52,831
Well...
1274
01:20:52,832 --> 01:20:55,542
...so be it.
1275
01:20:55,543 --> 01:20:59,128
When he went away, did he agree
to do it, or was he gonna say:
1276
01:20:59,129 --> 01:21:01,589
"I can't, but give me
what you promised"?
1277
01:21:01,590 --> 01:21:03,549
I think he's come back and says:
1278
01:21:03,550 --> 01:21:08,011
"Okay. We have to do it,
let's bite the bullet. Let's do it."
1279
01:21:08,012 --> 01:21:13,766
But he's too late.
1280
01:21:13,767 --> 01:21:17,186
My Lord, I have consider'd in my mind
the late request...
1281
01:21:17,187 --> 01:21:20,606
...that you did sound me in.
- Well, let that rest.
1282
01:21:20,607 --> 01:21:23,817
- Dorset is fled to Richmond.
SPACEY: I hear the news, my lord.
1283
01:21:23,818 --> 01:21:26,694
PACINO: Stanley.
BRYGGMAN: Yes, my sovereign?
1284
01:21:26,695 --> 01:21:31,782
PACINO:
Richmond is your wife's son...
1285
01:21:31,783 --> 01:21:35,827
...Iook to it.
1286
01:21:35,828 --> 01:21:38,038
My lord...
1287
01:21:38,039 --> 01:21:42,125
...I claim the gift...
1288
01:21:42,126 --> 01:21:45,544
...my due of promise...
1289
01:21:45,545 --> 01:21:50,424
...which your honor and your faith
is pawn'd.
1290
01:21:50,425 --> 01:21:54,677
The earldom of Hereford and moveables
which you promised I shall possess.
1291
01:21:54,678 --> 01:21:57,054
Stanley...
1292
01:21:57,055 --> 01:21:59,265
...Iook to your wife.
1293
01:21:59,266 --> 01:22:02,976
If she convey letters to Richmond,
you shall answer it.
1294
01:22:02,977 --> 01:22:05,604
What says your highness
to my high request?
1295
01:22:05,605 --> 01:22:10,066
I do remember me,
Henry the Sixth did prophesy...
1296
01:22:10,067 --> 01:22:17,406
...when Richmond was just a little boy
that Richmond would be king.
1297
01:22:17,407 --> 01:22:18,990
Perhaps.
1298
01:22:18,991 --> 01:22:21,701
- Perhaps...
- My lord! The earldom...
1299
01:22:21,702 --> 01:22:23,244
PACINO:
Richmond!
1300
01:22:23,245 --> 01:22:26,080
When last I was in Exeter...
1301
01:22:26,081 --> 01:22:30,626
...the mayor in courtesy
show'd me the castle there...
1302
01:22:30,627 --> 01:22:34,087
...and call'd it Rougemont.
1303
01:22:34,088 --> 01:22:35,588
[PACINO LAUGHS]
1304
01:22:35,589 --> 01:22:40,843
At which name I started,
because a bard of Ireland told me once...
1305
01:22:40,844 --> 01:22:45,472
...that I should not live long
after I saw Richmond.
1306
01:22:45,473 --> 01:22:50,768
- My Lord!
- Ay, what's o'clock?
1307
01:22:50,769 --> 01:22:55,022
I am thus bold to put your grace in mind
of what you promised me.
1308
01:22:55,023 --> 01:22:57,691
Ay, but what's o'clock?
1309
01:22:57,692 --> 01:23:00,360
Upon the stroke of ten.
1310
01:23:00,361 --> 01:23:02,570
- Let it strike.
SPACEY: Why let it strike?
1311
01:23:02,571 --> 01:23:04,155
Because...
1312
01:23:04,156 --> 01:23:06,574

1313
01:23:06,575 --> 01:23:10,911
...thou keep'st the stroke, tick-tock...
1314
01:23:10,912 --> 01:23:13,872
...betwixt your begging...
1315
01:23:13,873 --> 01:23:16,041
...and my meditation.
1316
01:23:16,042 --> 01:23:19,127
Tick-tock.
1317
01:23:19,128 --> 01:23:21,587
I am not...
1318
01:23:21,588 --> 01:23:27,217
...in the giving vein to-day.
1319
01:23:27,218 --> 01:23:29,511
May it please your grace...
1320
01:23:29,512 --> 01:23:31,930
...to resolve me in my suit?
1321
01:23:31,931 --> 01:23:35,433
Thou troublest me.
1322
01:23:35,434 --> 01:23:37,393
I am not...
1323
01:23:37,394 --> 01:23:54,241
...in the vein.
1324
01:23:54,242 --> 01:23:58,870
Thou dost scorn me
for my gentle counsel?
1325
01:23:58,871 --> 01:24:01,706
And soothe the devil
that I warn thee from?
1326
01:24:01,707 --> 01:24:05,334
