Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare (ITALIAN)
The drama is presented here in the version broadcast for the first time on the Rai National Program (currently Rai Uno) on 1965 directed by Sandro Bolchi. Performers: Glauco Mauri, Luigi Vannucchi, Raoul Grassilli, Glauco Onorato, Gigi Reder, Lucilla Morlacchi, Sergio Graziani, Edoardo Torricella, Dina Sassoli, Aldo Massasso, Gino Rumor, Piero Ciccoletti, Giuseppe Chinnici, Paolo Todisco, Renato Campese, Mario Bardella, Attilio Duse, Enrico Lazzareschi, Evar Maran, Franco Massari, Gianni Bertoncin, Mario Righetti, Maurizio Guelfi, Nello Riviè, Nino Bellei, Renzo Rossi, Romano Ghini, Sergio Ammirata, Annibale Ninchi, Luigi Sportelli, Amos Davoli.
Numerous discussions have arisen regarding the true protagonist of the tragedy: some believe that it is actually Caesar, as the cause of all the action and the center of every discussion, while others believe that it is actually Brutus and that the drama is based on his internal conflict between honor, patriotism and friendship. Most critics believe that the work reflects the climate of anxiety of the time due to the fact that Queen Elizabeth I refused to name a successor, which could have led to a similar civil war after her death to the one that broke out in Rome.
The action takes place in Rome and in the finale in Greece (Sardis and Philippi). Brutus, whose ancestors are famous for having expelled Tarquin the Superbus from Rome, is Caesar's adopted son, but despite this bond he allows himself to be convinced to take part in a conspiracy, hatched by some Roman senators including Cassius, to prevent Caesar , by killing him, to transform the Roman Republic into a monarchy. Caesar, having returned to Rome after the Egyptian campaign, meets a soothsayer who suggests he beware of the Ides of March, but he ignores the warning and will be assassinated on that very day. At his funeral Mark Antony, Caesar's friend, moved public opinion against the conspirators with a famous oration
Bolchi stages Shakespeare's masterpiece in his own way, essentially focusing (and he had reason to) on the original text and limiting digressions to a minimum. Not bombastic but effective scenes with the camera often looking for close-ups of the actors. The cast is devoid of very big names but full of great professionals, many of whom will join the ranks of character actors in our genre cinema, demonstrating, if necessary, its absolute value. A pleasant vision, capable of exciting, unmissable for lovers of theater classics.

there’s something that’s incredible about the intersectionality and flexibility of werewolves as metaphor.
anger issues? werewolf. intrusive thoughts? werewolf. unresolved trauma? werewolf. rejection by society? werewolf. autism? werewolf. transgenderism? werewolf. queer expression of any sort? werewolf. plurality? werewolf. dissociation? werewolf. repression of any sort? werewolf. abuse cycles? werewolf. emotion so strong it physically changes you? werewolf!!!
really doing it all

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

fun fact about me! I have hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (hPOTS). this means I am prone to fainting when I change positions or when I feel a strong surge of emotion, positive or negative. for me, laughing is my worst non-postural trigger.
this is a clip from playing lethal company with friends a few months ago. you can hear the eerie silence of presyncope at 0:19, and the sound at 0:23 is my face hitting the keyboard lmao. I played this for my mother and she literally pissed herself laughing and DEMANDED I show every single person I know (including my doctors, who thought it was funny to see and surprisingly helpful, especially for being audio only).
