>no t-dog
you fucked up, pleb
was the bard more akin to a director, screenwriter, or both?
refn
sry can't
shakespeare invented words, that is not akin to camera technique or troupe or sfx
sayings from his characters are still being used in everyday speech without people knowing, hundreds of years after the plays were staged
that's as if your descendants by eight generations are still doing the You are a big guy and why does he wear the mask
literature gives much more room to the imagination than film, it has that room for a visual reinterpretation so the timelessness part of literature is inherent
No one comes to mind other than myself.

Shakespeare couldn't even write his own name

Eisenstein invented the montage, and it's still being used today. It's not simply just a camera technique.

William Shakespeare could not, unaided, have produced the immortal writings bearing his name.
He did not possess the necessary literary culture, for the town of Stratford where he was reared contained no school capable of imparting the higher forms of learning reflected in the writings ascribed to him. His parents were illiterate, and in his early life he evinced a total disregard for study. There are in existence but six known examples of Shakspere's handwriting. All are signatures, and three of them are in his will. The scrawling, uncertain method of their execution stamps Shakspere as unfamiliar with the use of a pen, and it is obvious either that he copied a signature prepared for him or that his hand was guided while he wrote. No autograph manuscripts of the "Shakespearian" plays or sonnets have been discovered, nor is there even a tradition concerning them other than the fantastic and impossible statement appearing in the foreword of the Great Folio.
Shakspere's daughters were illiterate. His daughter Judith, at the age of 27, could not even sign her name.
If this guy wrote the plays bearing his name how would he have permitted his own daughter to reach womanhood and marry without being able to read one line of the writings that made her father wealthy and locally famous? It makes no sense.
Who really wrote Shakespeare's plays?
>>63402190
Just like Godard invented the jump cut, Hitchcock the vertigo effect, and Kubrick the steadicam. It's all bullshit btw, no one in film invents anything, it all would have happened without those assholes taking credit.
>>63399610
Why is he always depicted with an earring?

There were about half a dozen writers who used William Shakespeare as a pseudonym for their perceived controversial works.
>>63402717
it is interesting but not relevant
they were done by one person, his individuality comes through in his sonnets and plays
who this person was is a different story
>>63402846
He was black and a pirate, also everyone in theater is gay.

No student rosters of the period survive, so no documentation exists for the attendance of Shakespeare or any other pupil, nor did anyone who taught or attended the school ever record that they were his teacher or classmate. This lack of documentation is taken by many anti-Stratfordians as evidence that Shakespeare had little or no education.[43]

>Shakespeare scholars see no reason to suspect that the name was a pseudonym or that the actor was a front for the author: contemporary records identify Shakespeare as the writer, other playwrights such as Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe came from similar backgrounds, and no contemporary is known to have expressed doubts about Shakespeare's authorship. While information about some aspects of Shakespeare's life is sketchy, this is true of many other playwrights of the time. Of some, next to nothing is known. [67]
>Literary scholars employ the same methodology to attribute works to the poet and playwright William Shakespeare as they use for other writers of the period: the historical record and stylistic studies,[68] and they say the argument that there is no evidence of Shakespeare's authorship is a form of fallacious logic known as argumentum ex silentio, or argument from silence, since it takes the absence of evidence to be evidence of absence.[69]

Quentin. He plays equally well to patricians and plebs, injects humor in dramatic works and steals from everybody.

Shakespeare is one of the greatest geniuses in human history. No filmmaker approaches that. Not even Hitchcock, Kubrick, Bergman, Tarkovsky or Bresson.

I think you mean Kit Marlow

Shakespeare is just the Greeks repackaged for the English peasantry.
Anyone else a sucker for the whole Romeo and Juliet story line? Something about young stupid love and two people from opposite worlds always brings back feelings from my lost youth.
