James Mason REview:Ivanhoe

So I was in the mood to watch the work of actor James Mason and decided to check out one of his later works Ivanhoe

In this 1982 TV movie King Richard (Julian Glover ) has returned from the CRusades and has teamed up with Robin Hood (DAvid Robb ) to take on three knights who work for Prince John(Ronald Pickup):Sir Reginald Front-de-Boeuf (John Rhyse Davies) who wants to extort Isaac of York (James Mason ),Sir Maurice de Bracy(STuart Wilson ) who wishes to marry Lady Rowena (Lysette Anthony ) and Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert (Sam Niel ) who is in mad lust for ISaacs daughter REbecca(Olivia Hussey )....Oh and there is a guy named Ivanhowe(Anthony Andrews),hes there too

SO I very much enjoy this movie despite it having a big flaw ....IN THAT IVANHOWE IS THE LEAST INTERESTIN?G PART .Oh Anthony Andrews plays him well,and he connects all these threads...He just isnt given enough focus .He is out of commission for most of the movie and honestly....I dont care about his story ,which is about him reconnecting with his father (Played by Michael Hordern )...PArtially cause the father is such a dick I dont care about him either ,cause the movie doesnt care either.The film is far more focused on the stuff around Ivanhowe that he feels like an after thought

That said I do like the movie.....Because the rest of it is so damn good .The action is solid from the jousting scenes to an assault on the villains castle by Richard and Robin Hood to a very eintense sword fight between Ivanhoe and Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert.I also like that the film really focuses on prejudice ,both the feud of the Normans and Saxxons but especially the hatred Isaac and REbecca face for being Jewish

The cast is alll superb (I mean Sam Niel,Stuart Wilson and John Rhyse Davies are the villains how can I not love that),Both George Innes and Tony Haygarth bring levity as Wamba the Fool and Friar Tuck rspectfully ,Michael Hordern is appropriatly pigheaded as Cedric , Wilson and Davies are sinister ,Phillip Locke is scene stealingly evil as the leader of the Knights Templar ,ROnald Pickup is slimey and David Robb is a solid Robin Hood (He also gets the funniest line )

The best performances however go to Julian Glover,James Mason ,Olivia Hussey ,and Sam Niel .Lets Start with Niel who is a solid villain :Arrogant ,obsessive ,creepy and yet there are levels to it ,fighting genuine guilt for his actions .Julian Glover is an actor I associate with bad guys so its fun to see him as a noble king .Olivia Hussey is great as REbecca,on par with Elizabeth Taylors performance in the 1952 film.I think the scene stealer of the movie is James Mason ,Mason while associated with lets say darker parts,had great versitility and when he had the chance could make a very sympathetic characters cause he can make the audience feel his pain

Ovewralll its a fun movie,and I think its on par with the 1952 film

Happy (thirsty) Thursday, I hope your tasks are going well!

One of my current projects, with the unintended scope of which I think you may sympathize, is an Ivanhoe AU set in 1938 NYC. Rebecca will be a private detective, I said to myself! Brian de Bois-Guilbert will fit neatly into the archetype and suits of the morally grey gunslinger (Alan Ladd, Humphrey Bogart.) German immigrant identity in the interwar period will be a great way to update the consideration of what it means to be Saxon after conquest, and Isaac of York can have a better life and read Yiddish newspapers.

Anyway, now I have a rapidly expanding cast of characters, a rapidly expanding word count, and a rapidly expanding (let's not say unmanageable) list of things to research more when I have the time. Also a lot of romantic angst. What have I done (rhetorical)?

I'm in love with literally everything here. Please share your reading list as time allows, it sounds fascinating.

(Would it really be Ivanhoe without the romantic angst, though?)

Listening to this on repeat currently and obviously I had to think abt ivanhoe and everyone probably figured out that I love to draw Rebecca/Brian parallels where none exist so: singing! And how they’re both.... constrained in their freedom to sing.

Because singing is such a big part of daily life in the Middle Ages - how are you gotta entertain yourself on a long journey or on a slow day or when you’re bored or <insert any other situation basically>? But judaism forbids women to sing within earshot of men who are not their direct relatives; and a knight templar is not supposed to sing anything but religious hymns (which is sort of understandable because soldier songs are probably too bawdy for a monastic order but still)

And for Rebecca it’s probably not too big a deal - it’s a matter of propriety, like not going out with loose hair - just inconvenient and annoying sometimes. For Brian though - he’s a nobleman with a noble’s education, so even if he’s not on Richard’s level he’s been taught to sing and compose songs himself from a young age (and if you accept my wild reasoning that he’s from Aquitaine - the land of troubadours - singing is probably even more of a thing for him), and it’s another small thing that got taken from him by the order but he probably resents it a bit more than others.

Thinking about that half-meta I didn’t write about Rebecca and The Gaze and it’s kind of ironic how she’s accused of ~bewitching~ Brian but at the same time  brian has strabismus and throughout the ages it has been assigned the properties of the evil eye and people with strabismus were ostracized because it was assumed that they were capable of casting misfortunes on others and Hamsa - the hand of Miriam - has been used to ward off the evil eye...

Ivanhoe (1982) » Brian Bois-Guilbert captures Rebecca

[romanticrhapsody]

The Virtue of a Jewess

Sir Walter Scott in his classic novel Ivanhoe presents a topic that is central so several romantic pieces of literature and explores it in new and intriguing ways. The theme in question is that of virtue which can be seen so clearly in the novels’ Jewess Rebecca. Not only is she at a disadvantage because of her religious beliefs but because she is a woman. Rebecca still is able to present a character with virtues beyond even Ivanhoe or King Richard as she is commanded by her faith and her own genuine desire to see the best outcome for mankind.

               Rebecca is introduced into the novel during the tournament as a beautiful daughter to Isaac of York. As she is developed in the novel readers become acutely aware that Rebecca is intended to be much more than a pretty face. Her astounding kindess to Gurth, and in extension Ivanhoe, by repaying him 100 zecchins when he was rightfully charged 80, and not only having all returned to Gurth’s master but ordering him to “[r]e-store to thy master that which is his due, and enrich thyself with the remainder” (130). Rebecca shows a generosity unmatched by any other characters within the novel and does not hesitate to practice such kindnesses as she may. She diligently cares for the wounded Ivanhoe and earnestly tries not to approach him in ways inappropriate for her one of her social standing. This is discussed at length as the narrator comments that “she had hastened to mention her father’s name and lineage” so that Ivanhoe would know how best to treat her under their circumstances (299). This not only reveals that she must make personal sacrifices in maintaining virtue but also that she values what is good above herself even to death for her faith as is seen several times in the novel.

               While Rebecca’s virtue seems to stand in its own defence for most of the novel and sufficiently so it is not enough for the narrator that readers believe she is virtuous. As Ivanhoe goes wounded to fight for Rebecca’s freedom from the Templar’s there is a decided moment of heavenly intervention on Rebecca’s behalf which can only serve to verify her own virtue and good standing with her God. A blow in combat which should not have even shaken Brian de Bois-Guilbert is enough to throw him from his saddle and as the narrator comments “[u]nscathed by the lance of his enemy, he had died a victim to the violence of his own contending passions” (490). The judgement of Rebecca’s virtue does not stop there however as the Templar Grand Master declares that this was indeed God’s judgement. Rebecca does not stand in defence of her virtue nor does Ivanhoe but God himself defends and restores her.

               As Sir Walter Scott weaves a narration of battle and glory he dwells on the theme of virtue among the lower caste of society and using Rebecca he is able to display for readers that even in what may be considered the lowest of people virtue and good standing with God may be found.
