Looking For Richard Script
Our revels now are ended.

These our actors, as I foretold you...

... were all spirits

and are melted into air...

... into thin air.

And, like the baseless fabric

of this visión...

... the cloud-capp 'd towers...
... the gorgeous palaces...

... the solemn temples...
... the great globe itself...

... ye all which it inherit...

... shall dissolve...
... and, like this insubstantial pageant

faded...

... leave not a wisp behind.

We are such stuff

as dreams are made on...

... and our little life

is rounded with a sleep.

Who's gonna say, "Action"?

Should I say it, or should you?

- You wanna say it?

You can say it.

- I don't want to. Say it.

- You say it.

- And action!

- How do I look?
I can't see anything.

Are they out there?

This is my entrance.
Fuck.
I'm actually reading Richard III...

...and I can't get on with it.

I've been reading it for six months.

You want to do it

with your American accent?

We're getting $40 a day

and all the doughnuts we can eat.

Shakespeare? What the fuck

do you know about Shakespeare?

Arise, fair sun...

...and kill the envious moon.

Like eager droppings into milk,

it doth posset and curd.
Some are born great,

some achieve greatness...
...and some have greatness

thrust upon them.

Intelligence is hooked with language.
When we speak with no feeling,

we get nothing out of our

    Richard L. Johnson sits completely at ease in a black jacket, black slacks, and a black long sleeve turtleneck when others would be sweating in this El Paso heat, drinking a venti white chocolate mocha from Starbucks. His only adornment is a simple watch and a silver cross that hangs from a silver necklace. He sips his drink and watches the people coming and going, smiling pleasantly when one of his fellow patrons happens to meet his gaze. But it’s not his appearance that draws one’s eyes to him--even though he is a dark man, wearing dark clothes with a shock of white hair and matching goatee. Mr. Johnson just seems to command attention and…

    The comparative analysis of Shakespeare’s “Richard III” circa 1591 and Al Pacino’s 1996 docudrama “Looking for Richard” (LFR) reveals the capacity of these texts to transcend their timeframes due to their exploration of ideas perennially relevant to human nature. As humans, there is an innate desire of us to exert our ideals and beliefs on others as well as an underlying ambition for power, hence these texts explore the way in which art can be used to shape and reshape historical perceptions as well as the universal relevance of power to human beings.…

    Richard has a confidence and arrogance to him, which he uses to his advantage especially with the knowledge of how fragile Lady Anne is; when Richard firsts enters, Shakespeare writes in the stage direction that she "spits at him". This is impactful on the audience, as they know straight away that this scene will be emotionally rough and aggressive between the interaction of Lady Anne and Richard III. The fact she "spits" at him, as soon as she sees him, without first talking to Richard III shows her to be furious and disgusted with him - she would rather show her disdain towards him through action rather than having to acknowledge him with speech that to him would be less impactful. Arguably, this seems…

    Our values and morals remain timeless as they form the basis of our interaction with each other and are instilled as part of our humanity defining us as beings. The Shakespearean play, “King Richard III” and its hybrid doco-drama appropriation, “looking for Richard’ directed by Al Pacino, reveal inherent values of power in relation to our morality and justice. As Shakespeare focuses on the human psyche and the role of god’s Devine retribution in the Elizabethan era, Pacino on the other hand emphasizes the American context to allow audiences to re-evaluate the significance of the political and social values present in KRIII, thus enriching our understanding of the original text.…

    Within this film it is clear that the styles of narration used by the screenwriter's are classic Hollywood narrative styles, which is when there is a "strong central protagonist and neatly resolved climax" (Bordwell and Thompson, 2005). Another way of proving that this is a classic narrated Hollywood film is by looking at what Bordwell (2005), states as the action revolving around a central character that by the end of the film fulfills his/her goal. By looking at all of the above, the point argued in this essay is clear that this film is a typical Hollywood narrated film, even though there are some techniques used by the screenwriters and directors that lean towards the way non Hollywood films are narrated.…

    This past Sunday, on October 20th around three o’clock in the afternoon, I had the pleasure to watch a play that was scripted into history centuries ago. Shakespeare left the world astounded during his time; through witty word play and perfected analogies he was eligible to infatuate not only the people of his time, but captivate those of more modern times today. These reenactments continue to be portrayed, I was lucky enough to be a participant of his Richard III play as depicted by Robert H. Davis, the director, that took place at the Roberts Theater in Hartford, Connecticut. A school renowned for its performing…
