"The Bet" by Anton Chekhov (Part 1)

From ITV's "The Short Story".

[@farhani29]

The lawyer was supposed to be a 25-year-old.

[@rain_bow_edu]

Farhana Hanani exactly..😂

[@Joel-oe7ud]

Far Hanani yeah here he looks like a 60 yr old

[@djoan0872]

Exactly. He got out by the time he reached 40. 😂😂

[@diogeneslantern18]

One would be doing themselves a disservice by watching this in lieu of reading the 20min story. The latter is packed with so much more nuance than this film could ever even hope to convey

[@r4v3nh0od3]

When you cant read so you just have to watch the video of an english assignment instead

[@DonatoVicenti]

Rainn Wilson brought me here

[@mplasma1430]

[@FarCritical]

This helped me out a lot, thank you!

[@khyaldave3320]

In the story, firstly the prisoner says, "Your books have given me wisdom." and then says, "I despise your books." Quite confusing, huh!!

[@raechoi8079]

My bald headed ass teacher got me watching this shit

[@Neku628]

Khyal Dave, to answer your question, I am assuming that he praises their knowledge, but rejects them, because they are material objects.

[@13jalopy]

@AbecedariusRex The banker is played by Robert Prosky. Probably best known for his work on "Hill Street Blues",but he's done a ton of stuff and is usually very good. Glad you enjoyed the post.

[@user-uj6tz8oj2b]

Year 2021 watching this 👁️👄👁️

[@AbecedariusRex]

Thanks for posting this. Great short story and a good rendition here. How does it change the story that the actors are older? (in Checkov's work they're young men)
I forget the actor's name who plays the banker but he's quite good. He plays the judge in Redford's "The Natural".

[@wobenikikon3065]
