RIP Orson Welles.

Wow OP here I just discovered Orson Welles has been dead for 40 years wow.

>>211899081 (OP)
I hope that commie rat is burning in hell.

>>211899081 (OP)
Such an overated, bombastic, hammy actor with the most self-absorbed and moralising political views. His movies were all failures after Citizen Kane and the latter is inferior to any John Ford or Jean Renoir movie.

>>211899541
What communist views did he espouse?

>>211899598
Have you not seen Touch of Evil?

>>211899658
Listen you don't investigated by the FBI and M15, and called out by George Orwell of all people as being a commie without showing some signs of it in private. The closest to a public demonstration of his views was condemning fellow actors for naming names.

>>211899725
I explicitly thinking of it when I wrote my comment. The script is all over the place and nonsensical, and the direction is awkward and feels like a rough, unfinished cut.

>>211899081 (OP)
R.i.p in peace

I loved him in Pinky and the Brain

>>211899725
The Reefer Madness-esque treatment of marijuana in the film lowers whatever quality the film has to a fraction of itself.

Ahem
>*clears throat*
Vax status?

>For several years, he wrote a newspaper column on political issues and considered running for the U.S. Senate in 1946, representing his home state of Wisconsin—a seat ultimately won by Joseph McCarthy
Lmao

>>211899128
Sorry for your loss

I've watched some Orson Welles, big fan, he has some great understanding of the art. Was set in the 50's then in the 60's mixed in with the flower movement.
So I quantum jumped to him. Went to him when he was old. He was in one of those white full body towels and resting up. Had a chat about some of his visions. A truly elegant man.

>>211899081 (OP)
all I've seen of him made him seem like a judgemental asshole

>>211899598
He was great in A Man for all Seasons.

What were his thoughts on the french?

>>211900168
Wtf are you smoking?

>>211900281
He was okay and was talent-mogged by Scofield.

>>211899081 (OP)
If he had a bell for a head he’d be Orson Bells

>>211899081 (OP)
You didn't say it, he did...your FRIEND

>>211900670
Unrewarding.

>>211900339
Some people become famous for being real here. The cross over of space and time from a large area makes them quantifiable. Not only to people higher up than us but also to the group here.

MUAAAHHHH THE FRENCH

>George Orwell

From Orwell's brief 1940 review of Hadley Cantril's book "Invasion from Mars" about Welles's War of the Worlds "panic":

...The survey does not reveal any single all-embracing explanation of the panic. All it establishes is that the people most likely to be affected were the poor, the ill-educated and, above all, people who were economically insecure or had unhappy private lives. The evident connection between personal unhappiness and readiness to believe the incredible is its most interesting discovery. Remarks like 'Everything is so upset in the world that anything might happen,' or 'So long as everybody was going to die, it was all right,' are surprisingly common in the answers to the questionnaire. People who have been out of work or on the verge of bankruptcy for ten years may be actually relieved to hear of the approaching end of civilisation. It is a similar frame of mind that has induced whole nations to fling themselves into the arms of a Saviour.

>>211899725
I don't like Touch of Evil, it feels too confused and muddled. His other films are better; in particular Chimes at Midnight, despite the obvious dubbing.

>couldn't be bothered to produce a "Citizen Kane" sequel about Patty
Lame.

Should I watch Othello, The Stranger or The Trial next? thanks in advance

>>211900952
Holy fuck I've been here a long time.

You'd have to end it with a headless Nordic mercenary gunning them all down.

>A Man for all Seasons
very good kino

Orsen with John Lithgow in Shakespearian play.... has even been tried?

Nah, Reefer Madness knew it along. The social acceptance of weed has played and is currently playing a pivotal role in the downfall of the west. You don't reach the levels of shamelessness currently on display in America without the masses first being too numb to do anything when it starts happening, and that all begins with weed, fent, opiods, etc.

I’m a huge Orson Welles

>>211899081 (OP)

>>211902465
i can't throw a rock without hitting a brewery in my city

good opinion, carry on

>>211903851
Americans can't play Shakespeare. Compare Paul Scofield playing King Lear with Orson Welles, it's a mess, a really brutal mogging.
