Faust to go (Goethe in 9 minutes, English version)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- It is an epic story whose scope could not be greater: From heaven to a witch's kitchen, from university to a cellar pub in Leipzig, Goethe's FAUST - THE FIRST PART OF THE TRAGEDY explores the human condition in all its fascinating habitats. And as if this wasn't enough, the play also serves as a warning to all young women who get involved with middle-aged men who want to relive their youth... Michael Sommer and his Playmobil cast bring you a compact and entertaining summary of the German national drama. DISCLAIMER: WATCHING THIS VIDEO DOES NOT REPLACE READING IT. My recommendation: Read it yourself, watch it in the theatre, or, even better, stage it!

"I'll write a play about you but don't blame me if it's shit." I laughed so hard. 1:15

This is one of the funniest, most creative, attention grabbing video I've watched. You rock dude.
"but faust was so high on testosterone which is why it's totally natural when on the second date they talk about... religion"
i read the book
this is accurate
Faust:58
Gretchen:14
......oh okay
Yeah all the girls in these stories that aren't witches are 12-14
Eat your heart out, Romeo and Juliet.
5:40 "I don't have a magic mirror. Have you been watching porn again, Mephisto? - Ehhh, I'm the devil, that is part of my job description."
Brilliant XD
This hit it so hard on the head. Accuracy 10/10
I started using these videos for my German Lit class. My professor started showing them before we do our class discussions. Haha. Everyone seems to be hooked on them!
:-)
This is pure gold. LOL!! Just finished reading Faust and was left feeling confused and wondering if I had miss interpreted it all. Watched this video and come to find out, nope, I did get it. LOL! This was some great work and comedy.
"OK! Sign in blood, get your toothbrush and off we dash!"
Who needs literature when you've got this guy!
"But the morning after pill, a prayer, doesn't help. She is pregnant."
Too funny
7:07 "im so high on testosterone" which is why inevitably at the secone date they talk about................. RELIOGION. lmfao
This is actually my favourite thing on youtube.
You're my hero.
Thanks. Please share!
the small bulldog picture at 3:42 makes this story a whole lot better
These videos are simply so comical and enchanting. This is easily my joint-favourite channel alongside School of Life. I'm sure the videos will continue to lighten young hearts and inspire much book-reading...

Students, -Bitc- -WICHES, ghosts,...
Seriously, I am showing my whole class this video after the quiz. Its two and half hours so I am sure we can fit it in somewhere. Pure gold!
I'm delighted!

That was fantastic! 'so get your job done, bloody hell!'
I love these! I am not a big reader, but had to take a world literature class. Extremely helpful just as a baseline, so I can at least tell whats going on in the text.
I just finished reading Part I today. Loved it.
This is so immensely funny. I'm a big fan!
:-)
Damn, this is so magnificent that it hurts me you don't have more subscribers...
Thank you very much... I'd be happy if you were to share the channel with friends :-)
AHHHH this was so good and very helpful. Lots of love from Canada
Thank you! Be kind and share!
I’m writing a play based on Faust. This is a surprisingly good starting point
Well done, well done. Hilarious, and helpful at the same time. A great summary.
I am glad you liked it - please share!
Comment section: thanks for the help for my literature class
Me: Liszt boi
sorry i dun get what has this to do with liszt
talking about the faust symphony?
That was helpful..Thank u n those dummies are so identical to the characters.. How do you manage to bring up such dummies?Do u go to the market n say hey for today i want a dummy of Faustus, Mephistopheles etc.
Anyway u r working so hard for making it easy for us..God bless you abundantly.
I might be the only one, but I would prefer an accurate depiction of the play. Thanks for sharing though
Love your accent bro. Ever since I watched the show Dark, I fucking love the way Germans sound.
Wow this is pretty much exactly what happens in the musical Spring Awakening. Funny that Melchior admits to reading it in the show
Cale Singleton that’s why i’m here watching this! haha
I think this is the most stereotypically German video I've ever seen
this was so helpful thank you!
5:10 An Ingourious Basterds reference?
omg this is amazing! thank you for that! greatest double date in history xD
Beautiful, a awesome creation, out of the world.
I love the dedication
Ayo thanks for this. Very much appreciate it.
This is hilarious! Thank you.
Pillify and villories was a nice touch.
@Sommer's World Lit to Go !!! 6:10 (CC/Captions On) I clearly heard and understood the "start stalking" BUT the auto English translation CC got "talking Beijing"; which is (A) funny and (B) might confuse those deaf or hard of hearing using captions⁉️🤣🙄
I turned on captions in hopes of getting the correct story character name spellings(little luck there).
AND
I turned on captions because I was only getting %98-99 percent of your words(much better than my learning French, for sure🙊🤐).
Your German-english[Deutschland-english(?)] is very good. The instances of mangled captions translations could help show you where your english might be a tiny bit difficult for others to understand(matched where I was not fully understanding; < %2, still an A+). Now your expressions and humor seem to translate well indeed, and as for me some of the CC mistranslations that added another layer of funny.
Your "About" page does ask for language input so ==> CC TRANSCRIPTIONS or CC REVIEW would help!
This video is great, and the way you tell this story is very funny,,, Subscribed ✔️ .
Me: American with extremely well educated British parents yet raised in back-country USA, having lived or traveled much of wide range that is North American english, where stretching and skewing the English-english language into American is an art form😜.
Brilliant, thank you!
hilarious! Thanks for this.
When youre an English speaker doing the Abitur and you always wished there were an English Sommers Weltliterature bla bla
Lovely! We thank you for this funny and marvellous abbreviation and densification of the tragedy`s first part. :)
Danke schön!
`FAUST` by JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE is one of the greatest poetic and philosophical works of whole mankind.
By the way:
If you want to read `Faust` (part I and II) by GOETHE in an English translation (there are many ones), then I highly recommend the translation "by" Walter Arndt including interpretive notes and much more, an edition which appeared at Norton & Company publishing.
It is very close to the German-language original in terms of content and faithfulness to the words and manages to convey simultaneously rhythm and rhyme (with the latter two, especially rhyme, being less important).
As - with respect to the original - nearness and mirror-image-ness is all what translation is about, do always look out for good and very good translations (a mediocre or bad one would be, by terms, a contradiction within itself) when it comes to studying world-literature or reading literature in general.
You ask why I put `by` in quotation marks above ("by" Walter Arndt)?
Because ORIGINAL and NON-ORIGINAL, lingual ORIGINAL and lingual TRANSLATION are a UNITY.
My definition of `Übersetzung` / `translation`:
"Eine Übersetzung ist jene Sprache, die ein transformiertes Spiegelbild einer anderen Sprache ist." / "A translation is that language which is a transformed mirror image of another language."
Each of the two terms - original and translation - implicates, unspoken, its opposite. They can never be divided.They are Yin and Yang and Yin/Yang. A lingual original and all of its translations in all other languages, pre-existing as ideas within the original itself, are a unity. A translation is given with the original, through the original and within the original.
So, that means:
The originator of a linguistic original is, at once, the originator of all (ideal) translations of this original in all other languages.
(He is not due to his own abilities and due to his own performance but because of the universal law that a linguistic original and all of its translations in all other languages, pre-existing within the original as ideas, are a unity, and that every translation is given with the original, through the original and in the original.)
If someone speaks in a concrete, specific language, he speaks at once in all languages at the same time. Okay? Very simple...
Translation as a process, i.e. the translating or transferring of a linguistic phenomenon from one concrete specific language into a linguistic phenomenon of another concrete specific language, is primarily and in principle not a creative process but a manifesting of what is already given, namely the translation pre-existing as an idea within the original.
A translation is not the result of translating, but it is just vice versa: the translation initiates the translating, it brings the translating on its way.
Translating is a giving-out of the given. A translator outputs, a translator gives out what is already given to him (namely the translation).
So, if you are taking a book from your shelves, a book which contains a translation of any language: which name will you read on the cover in fat printed letters? Of course, the name of the author of the original. And right so! If you ask, for example, a person in Germany or in France or in Japan: "Who is the author of `Harry Potter`?" - then you know the answer. And my answer would also be or is, respectively: "Joanne K. Rowling". And I´ve read the Harry Potter - books in German translation...
If you`re really interested in great literature, then read both parts of `FAUST` by GOETHE (in original German language or in a good or very good translation). Study it, slowly and intensely, and let it infuse your life. This poetic and philosophical, inexhaustible masterpiece belongs to the most supreme of culture that you can ever experience - like, for example, the divine musical works of Johann Sebastian Bach or the timeless dramas of William Shakepeare, and so on. It transcends by far everything that is merely earthly and wordly.
Alle Sprachen sind eins in der Sprache. / All languages are one within language. / Toutes les langues ne font qu'une dans la langue.

@@InsertCleverNameHere0 or laughed his ass off.
Thanks, very good video!
The ghost: You fool! You shall now feel my wrath
Faust: That's perfectly fine, because I summoned you
The ghost: Well, you're just all kinds of fucked up then, son, aren't you?
Highly funny and entertaining!
this is amazing
Awesome!
Danke!!!!
loll well done bravo ~ Roarr!
This is a really great video. The only problem is that the echo makes it a little difficult to understand what he's saying every few words or so.
THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL GOT A BIT TOASTED ...LOL
It was the old testament.

Hey...!!! what's up with the subliminal picture of the dog???

This is so well made.
7:35 did you say "pillifies and villories"? like a mish mash version of pillories and vilifies? just wondering cuz that is some complex word play
Thank you for that question. It is actually a pun that I have stolen from the very funny play THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND by Tom Stoppard...
