@Reyansh Leroy Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
One annoying mistake. Beckett was in the highly successfull 'Gloire' resistance group and they were betrayed by one of the most evil men imaginable. He was Father Robert Alesch who ran his parish and often gave bold anti-German sermons and cultivated a trusted place in the resistance. This human monster would serve mass by day and in the evenings sneak out to his sumptuous apartment with his two mistresses. He worked the whole time for the Gestapo who paid him a bonus for every extra name he gave them. Father Alesch would cultivate fatherly relationships with young people, draw them to the resistance and then betray them to the Nazis, getting so much per name. These were tortured and murdered. This is the man who betrayed Beckett and Suzanne and killed so many of his friends,. Alesch was captured in 1949 and shot by firing squad. HE is a human monster. You cannot understand Beckett without knowing the terror, the endless waiting the grief of betrayal of those years.
There is always spies and infiltrators in war. The communists were no different. ''Human Monster'' is far too pious for a normie on the internet to understand the complexities of war and conflict which is often tragic, fatal, cunning, and obviously a matter of life and death.
Beckett's relationship with his mother is brilliantly illustrated in Krapp's Last Tape as he relives her death, watching her bedroom shade pull down from the park across the street. How he held that ball in his hand and feeling it until his dying day. That's the phrase that made want to know everything this man wrote.
This Film about Samuel Beckett I find beautifully made. Sensitive voices with musical illustrations that make sense and just not a continuous background setting; the flute with its sad theme; the music by Schubert... And last but not least, the beautiful poetical English; like music to my ears.
@@mushfiqshukurlu8424 Hi- this isn't the exact song, but it's the correct artists/composer. You can search off of that...Schubert, Lieder - Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau & Gerald Moore. Cheers.
My overarching takeaway from Samuel Beckett is the futility of understanding, life's great booby prize. If one day we understand all the mysteries of the universe, so what? We will only have discovered that it all means nothing, that we have been pursuing a fool's errand. There is no meaning in an indifferent cosmos. Tis better just to enjoy the incredible richness that every moment of living offers than to chase a chimera.
For me, there's less than one minute to go before the end. The end is near. It is so close, but so far away. The end is far, far away. Faint in the distance is the end, etc. I will not bear another minute of Beckett. If I do, the end will be near.
"I'm assisting, helplessly, at the race toward the spiritual death of all Mankind. No gift on My behalf, no godsend, no recall, no chastisement could prevent this spontaneous capsizing, into Satan, of Humanity saved by Me." - Jesus to Maria Valtorta, 9 April 1944.
They jump over (unpublished at the time) Mercier et Camier as the key to Godot. The title characters disappear from the narrative every day for three-four hours out into the countryside. Beckett suddenly transferred them into Gogo and Didi out by their belovéd tree.
I just wanted to know if someone could tell me if there is a link to the "murphy" audiobook as read by the actor at the 23:19min. This actor´s name is unknown to me, but it seems to me that I would like to hear all of Beckett´s work read by him. If anyone has links that they could share please let me know
Thank you for this. I've been reading his Poems in English (the 1961 volume from Grove) and it's interesting to hear some of them quoted in these contexts. I first read Beckett's work, mostly his plays, when I was in college. That was 20 years ago and as I went on to explore other authors, I was kind of put off by Beckett's style. I just found it bogged down in apathy and self-loathing after a while. Re-reading his poems after so many years, my opinion has gone largely full-circle. It's interesting that when I first read him while in school, I found his work grotesquely funny. Now that I'm older, I usually feel sad.
This documentary’s footage whenever it was made shows more of that stereotypical but probably accurate dreary, sad, depressing imagery of Ireland, which seems to be just as depressing as any such place in the UK. Everything is wet, cold, grey, foggy, somber, extremely sad. On top of that people seem to have a phobia of any brighter color on their clothes. It is as if not just the individuals but the whole society is masochistically enjoying this self imposed suppression anything visually joyful.
As I started listening to this, I don’t think I can take any more dispassionate realism. Was it a reaction to everything, to the richness of an affluent educated life?
Beckett tried to be CLEVERER THAN Existence Death Darkness Hope Humanity The Id The Ego Wrapping pointlessness around the Cornucopia of Life. 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 Thank Godot He Failed! 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
All Beckett needed is to learn some Buddhism. It seems like for people with his outlook on life would benefit from it since Buddhism interprets his pessimist dark world view into something more pleasant.
“Then all as before again. So again and again. And patience till the one true end to time and grief and self and second self his own” (“Stirrings Still,” 1988). This evokes, at the end of a life of words, the word 'Zen' and what that entails. However, as the rebirth of the self is a key, perhaps 'the' key, fulcrum of Christianity, nothing's definitive. Indeed, and additionally, if we believe we here learning about 'a thing' - i.e. something neither illusory or compromised by a relationship with language, it would appear that it's singularity (merely one aspect of its 'thingness') would exclude any naunced Thervada experience. Strange how words lack charisma in the final analysis.

On late Beckett: 'The less there is to say, the better it is said. It is sumptuous minimalism.' Perfect..!
❤️
I love those words at the beginning.
"He has declined to celebrate or affirm anything in human life".
❤️
Q: What time is it?
A:. Same as usual.
Genius.

Beckett has a wonderful sense of humor. This makes him sound like a ghoul.
Aye, that's true alright.
It frightens people you see.
This Film about Samuel Beckett I find beautifully made.
Sensitive voices with musical illustrations that make sense and just not a continuous background setting;
the flute with its sad theme; the music by Schubert...
And last but not least, the beautiful poetical English;
like music to my ears.
How can I find the music in video between minutes 14:10 - 14:35?

It takes an Irishman to produce English like that.

If there is understanding it is beyond verbal or rational or senses. It is sensed somehow and produces joy.
I Really Love Samuel Beckett and James Joyce. And these documentaries.
Sober, sumptuous, illuminating, Enough, not enough, all Beckett told.
Jack McGowran from The Exorcist! Remember getting into Beckett's work in my early twenties, saw John Hurt doing Krapp's Last Tape in Dublin.
For me, there's less than one minute to go before the end. The end is near. It is so close, but so far away. The end is far, far away. Faint in the distance is the end, etc. I will not bear another minute of Beckett. If I do, the end will be near.
Patrick? Lovely.
Among the voices voiceless that throng your not so hiddeness.
oh nice one, i wasn't expecting that at the end, great stuff. Many thanks for the upload.
wonderful tribute!
*"Jolly Times With Abject Depression"*
Thanks for sharing this video. I am interested on Samuel Beckett work and this video has helped a lot. You have a new suscriber
Beautifully made
Dream into melancholy.
I told a friend of mine I had seen an excellent version of "Happy Days" on the television. She said "Ah yes! The Fonz!"
magic and poetic!
Beautiful as a Schubert Art Song!
A joy to revisit
"I'm assisting, helplessly, at the race toward the spiritual death of all Mankind. No gift on My behalf, no godsend, no recall, no chastisement could prevent this spontaneous capsizing, into Satan, of Humanity saved by Me."

They jump over (unpublished at the time) Mercier et Camier as the key to Godot. The title characters disappear from the narrative every day for three-four hours out into the countryside. Beckett suddenly transferred them into Gogo and Didi out by their belovéd tree.
Related immediately to Beckett, felt the pain; suffering, chronic depression, a leaden fog-ridden and deserted psyche, disenchantment.
You’re missing the empathy, humour and formal rigour
Have you tried being a Catholic?
He turns Schubert’s music into words...
Un dramaturgo muy interesante que supo promocionarse muy bien.

Gotta love the rostbif pronounciation: "He abandoned his thesis, to study daycart."
Good documentary, despite the unnecessary horror-movie ghost-story style of reading from his works.
The reader of his works got in the way of Beckett’s words. Way too self-conscious.
Fuckin relaxing though
Beckett would boke at the slow, vocalic verse speaking voice
"or to imagine that it ever gave a fart in its courderoys for any form of art whatsoever"
Beckett was born on Good Friday 13th April, 1906.
Thank you for this. I've been reading his Poems in English (the 1961 volume from Grove) and it's interesting to hear some of them quoted in these contexts.

@1:09:10 what is written on his novel prize, de destitution of the modern man....grief and silence
Patrick MaGee!
Can someone recommend documentaries in a similar style? more visual and narrative based than full of talking heads/interviews? Thank you

The song played by the flute throughout is that a version of Das_Wandern_ist_des?
Gonzalo Ivan Gil - Yes, it’s confirmed further down in the comments.

Death and the Maiden (melody from)
Beckett has become Godot
Magee is (dare I say this) is an even better speaker of the words than Stephen Rea. And Rea is amazing.
The Beckett hero is Michael Gambon.
good photography anyway
Beckett tried to be
CLEVERER THAN
Existence
Death
Darkness
Hope
Humanity
The Id
The Ego
Wrapping pointlessness around the
Cornucopia of Life.

Thank Godot He Failed!

How can I find the music in video between minutes 14:10 - 14:35?

He's Zen actually.. Dialogue s in his plays are very Zen tales

photography good, god. text blah.
Is there really any need for the documentary narrator to speak so slowly and in such creepy way
this was by far thw most dismal thing i have ever encountered...i suppose, the outer edge of what is human
Hi 👋
Seems to me his great epiphany was simply to write about the little people just like Joyce. Poor little rich boy:)
rayturnertile Okay boomer.
The recitations are awful.Beckett loved words, no need for prosodic flourishes
Not exactly an uplifting writer. This makes it even worse.
