Ричард будет показан психопатом. Потому что трудное детство. Поэтому будет глотки резать и кинжалом в спину бить, как вырастет. Спасибо Беня, я не сомневалась, что не зря терпеть тебя не могу с первого взгляда.
Письмо рикардианцам"Dear Members,
The Hollow Crown
Following a preview-showing to members of the press, we were contacted for an opinion, which was difficult since none of use have seen the programme. However, at the preview, apparently someone asked what the Richard III Society was likely to think of it and the producer said ‘we weren't going to like it’!
I spoke with one of the reporters who was present and, from his description, agreed that the Society is most certainly not going to like it. Richard is portrayed as a psychopath whose villainy comes about because of the violence he's seen as he is growing up. He's shown cutting throats and stabbing people in the back!
I told my interviewer that this was not good and could only suggest that it might help if the BBC were to put it out with a warning that it's drama not history. However, I’m not naïve – I know they won't, of course. All we can hope is the the better papers will allow us our chance to express our feelings and point out that licence fees really could be better spent.
When will people understand that Shakespeare was a dramatist who wrote great plays, but he was not a historian? One only has to compare the plays with the known facts. though, of course, it’s easier to believe what is put before one without bothering to question it.
I will contact Benedict Cumberbatch and ask if he can be persuaded to 'revoke' his portrayal again, as he did this time last year, when he said that, had he known then what he knows now, his portrayal of Richard would have been very different.
Try as we might, we still have a long way to go.
With thanks,
Phil Stone, Chairman
