Literally Anything: Episode Fifty-Four -Literally King Lear

11/14/2018

Nothing can come of nothing, but Amazon’s King Lear is far from nothing, so we’re good. Shakespeare’s classic undergoes a modernization effort with an incredible cast that mostly delivers, and the guys bring forth a discussion on Lear, Shakespeare, British politics, racism, and the collapse of empires.

Film is great. It can challenge us. It can entertain us. It can puzzle us. It can awaken us.

It can often do all these things at the same time.

I encourage all you students of film to challenge themselves with this film blog. Watch stuff outside your comfort zone. Go beyond what looks cool or what is easy to swallow. Expand your horizons and move beyond your gut reactions.

We live in an era where we can watch any movie we want in the comfort of our homes. Take advantage of that and explore.
