James Joyce's "Ulysses" (1987)
Вставка

- Banned in 1920, yet subsequently lionized for its compelling characterization, breadth of humor, and use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, James Joyce’s Ulysses expanded the literary possibilities of the novel. This program presents an extraordinary dramatization of Joyce’s well-known rendering of the Odysseus epic. The late writer and critic Anthony Burgess and Professor Clive Hart, of Essex University, elaborate on the story’s construction, innovative use of language, and themes.

The listing here is very unhelpful.
This was an edition in the Channel 4 series, The Modern World: Ten Great Writers (broadcast in 1988). A documentary series using drama and commentary to shed light on the lives and works of Joseph Conrad, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, T. S. Eliot, Henrik Ibsen, James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, Luigi Pirandello, Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf.'
It was produced by London Weekend Television's South Bank Show and in programme on Ulysses they used the finest of Irish actors including Tony Doyle, Dermot Crowley, John Lynch, Sorcha Cusack, Patricia Quinn, Bryan Murray and my father, T.P. McKenna; and, of course, David Suchet as Leopold Bloom.
The scenes involving the character of the Citizen (Cyclops) were shot at Gordon's Wine Bar in Villiers Street close to Embankment tube station which is still in business today..
The best thing of all about this is it makes you start to plan to re-read the book.
RE-read? Hahaha!
@@Vesnicieit gets better every time I swear
I was hesitant to watch a cinematic rendition of Ulysses, but after finishing the book and finally deciding to watch this, I must say I think they did a fine job. Of course the order of events isn’t perfect and many important parts are skipped, such as Buck Mulligan’s opening caricature of the Mass, but all in all, I think they helped to deliver Joyce’s meaning. Including scholarly commentary alongside the plot (Burgess is a gem of a Wake scholar) was a smart choice and helps frame more difficult episodes such as Proteus such that if someone was having trouble with the book, seeing this cinematic interpretation may help. Thanks for the upload!
Holy crap, thank you so much for this. Do you have anything else from this series? I remember the Crime and Punishment episode was also superb.
EDIT: You're way ahead of me, just seen you've uploaded it - amazing.
What is Ulysses about?
I really expected Joyce's answer to be:
It's about 700 pages.
Most confusing Poirot episode I've yet seen. Who killed the old woman?
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
You're messed up!!!
🙃🤣🙃🤣🙃🤣🙃🤣
👏 👏 👏 😅
She died of illness, not murder and this is rated the greatest novel of the 20th century by many publishers.
Reading now. I will say it helps a lot to read summaries of the plot and Google a lot of the references - especially Daedalus' musings on Christianity and theologians/scholastics. A bit of Greek doesn't hurt either. But the book is a lot more than just erudition. It's warm, full, life-loving.
Two very complex characters, Stephen and Bloom, brilliantly portrayed by clever extracts from Ulysses and superb acting. Most enjoyable! Well done to everyone involved!
Joyce left Ireland with Nora in 1904, not in 1907!!
Thank you very much for this!
Thank you for watching!
thanks....t.p.mc kenna was in 1967 version also..
He played Mulligan in it.
Yes. Joyce was a silver thread through my father's career ... Stephen D (St. Martin's Theatre, London, 1963), Ulysses (Dir. J Strick,1967), Exiles (RSC Aldwych, 1973), A Portrait of the Artist (Dir. J Strick,1977) as well as countless television, radio an audio readings.
Brilliant!
I get annoyed by people who try and intellectualise "Ulysses ' !
If I were told it was written by a drink I would say " Ah,but he was already insane and the drink spewed out the words" !
poirot getting a handful of peerless globes
Happy Bloomsday! 🎉🎉🎉
Did Joyce have a mullet? I didn’t know that.
this is great !!
Channel 4 was slightly different then from what it's like now.
Thank you for this!
Love this series. I'm looking for episode 3 on Crime and Punishment. Any tips?
Up to 2:18 was enough. Gross.
my fav scene 17:25 💔💔
Marvellous ♥️♥️♥️
Happen to be in the middle of Dante right now.♥️
John Lynch is a superb actor, wonderful voice and sensitivity.
(But no, not Suchet/Poirot, almost embarrassing.)
What a treat.
Thanks a lot for this!
Paul Hill!
One of the few books I gave up on finishing. I’m not smart enough!
It's pretentious drivel. Not worth reading.
あら ポアロ！
Is it a poirot film
Dignum et justum
Brilliant series!
HE RETAINED TYPO'S AND MISSPELLINGS B
he doesnt looks like 28
He looks 29.
Finnegans Wake is the greater work.
I really know it's considered one of the very top novels of all time but when you see this it looks like nonsense. Thomas Wolfe used to write a lot about James Joyce so I got the book and about 1/4th of the way through I couldn't understand it. I must not be smart enough to get it. I have to keep trying, maybe one day. I like Thomas Wolfe better.
It's ok - I'm an English major and the professor missed a lot - if you learn about how the Catholic church and England kept the Irish enslaved and kicked down - no education or civil rights for women, no divorce allowed, no birth control allowed, no condoms allowed - if you were caught you were jailed - many mothers died giving birth leaving their children to be cared for by Catholic orphanages . . .
Dad's many times came home drunk having spent their wages on Guinness . . . with no money for food for their wife and children and it was all considered ok by men in irish society . . .until the 60s Ireland was almost a third world country . . .
Irish Men wanted to be freed from England politically but women didn't have any rights or freedom or upper level education for years . . .
Social and religious attitudes, beliefs and mores kept people choked and stifled for centuries . . .
Drs would let a mother die to save the baby she would be giving birth to . . .
Maybe it's just a bad book, eh?
I am sure this film was made in 1967 not 87.
Lol no way, its 80s allright, just low budget compared to movies, its made for TV after all. In the 60s the editing would have been more awkward than this
The original , 'Ulysses' film adaptation of the novel by Joseph Strick, was indeed made in 1967, featuring many of Ireland's best actors and actresses of the time, including I might add my (late) uncle Martin.
@@maelughran6981 Martin Dempsey, I'm sure.
It was a TV documentary by the team that produced the South Bank Show arts strand, so the dramatic scenes were there by way of illustration and without the budget of a feature film, though in this instance they had the very finest of Irish actors. I'm not sure how you'd confuse it with Joseph Strick's 1966 film version which was made in black and white and with a contemporary setting.
One of the most overrated books of all time.
BORING NOVEL...LOLITA AND GONE WITH THE WIND ARE MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING
