Does anybody know about any of the values expressed in this scene, we have to compare them to the relating scene in Looking for Richard and I can't manage to think of any.

Please anyone?

theres a lot you can say about the ghost scene. In the movie, the ghost scene is shown like a montage, giving it a nightmare-esque quality. Also, its only richard who sees them. However, in the play, the ghosts visit both richard AND richmond (to wish him well). You should look at the language at the difference in language when the ghost talks to richard and richmond. Did that help at all?

Is it just me or are not many schools doing Richard III in module A? Our class is doing a comparison of text & context of Richard III and Looking for Richard by Al Pacino. Which sucks, because there are barely any resources on Richard III. What does everyone else think?

 

[phosphorescent]

Yeah, definitely. Not only does Richard III lack resources, but does Looking for Richard have absolutely ZILCH on it. I hate Looking for Richard

To OP: is this the scene where richard and richmond orate to their troops about the battle? if so then the key values in the scene are
- richard's inability to escape divine justice/the order restoring itself
- the power of the human conscience in making us feel strong guilt

also try and focus on the various curses on richard by the dead souls + his soliloquy

in the movie however, pacino doesnt not view richard as pure evil and instead chooses to focus on his psychological instability. the scene where richmond is prayng juxtaposes to the scene where richard is orating, the low camera angle and lighting conveying a dark power

to rest: yea i know aye, the amount of resources is terrible. on the bright side, its less competition, seeing as around 50% of the state will prob be doing frankenstein/bladerunner

Yeah, definitely. Not only does Richard III lack resources, but does Looking for Richard have absolutely ZILCH on it. I hate Looking for Richard

haha very true! I seriously loathe looking for richard. We just finished watching it in class.
Hopefully I will beable to actually craft an essay on this topic.

 

[breaking]

The smell of incense
It fills the air inside this room
Cast of light colorly strewn about the floor
A casket lined with pills
And the bitter taste of absinth
To wash it down

And so it ends like it began
At a cross
Along this interstate
A worn inscription
All cracked and faded
These actions will remain
When bodies turn to dust
And from this monument
I will drown inside the anguish of your heart

A new dawn broke this morning
Tears were raining in this room
As pure as holy water
Reflecting images of you
This world is like a whore
So ravish and so beautiful
So bitter cold and all alone

And if i had my way
We'd wake up on the day we met
I'd stare into your heart for hours
And try to make you hear the sweetest thoughts
But not tonight
We die inside each others arms
We'd revel in our last embrace
I'd steal the breath right from your heart
And kiss you as we die

I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever
I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever
I rest my lifeless head upon your heart
Forever

Maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll bring sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll be sunlight after all
So sorry

Maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
I'm sorry
Maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
