	MIT OpenCourseWare \| Literature \| 21L.435 Shakespeare, Film and Media, Fall 2002 \| Home
		Filmed Shakespeare began in 1899, with Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree performing the death scene from King John for the camera.
		The phenomenon of filmed Shakespeare raises many questions for literary and media studies about adaptation, authorship, the status of "classic" texts and their variant forms, the role of Shakespeare in youth and popular culture, and the transition from manuscript, book and stage to the modern medium of film and its recent digitally inflected forms.
		We will study the films as works of art in their own right, and try to understand the means -- literary, dramatic, performative, cinematic -- by which they engage audiences and create meaning.

	Chinese-American dancer stars in restored 1929 silent film - 09/17/04
		Though you may not have heard of her, she’s the definition of memorable, which is undoubtedly the chief reason the 1929 silent film “Piccadilly” can now be seen in an especially rich and lengthy sepia-drenched version restored by the British Film Institute.
		In Dupont’s film, Wong plays Shosho, a dishwasher who dances and seduces her way up in to the dining room of London’s posh Piccadilly Club.
		Racially speaking, “Piccadilly” is as casually insensitive and careless as you might expect from a film of this era, but it’s also surprisingly crafty about finding ways to incite discussion.

		After the Bolshevik Revolution, along with his wife/editor and brother/cameraman, he made films and developed polemics that called for the death of filmmaking and relied on artifice and drama.

		The film began as a silent version of the Ferber novel, was pulled and made a part-talkie with a singing prologue, a ten minute two-scene initial talkie sequence, and an extended, many scene twenty minute plus sequence later in the picture.
		The film is basically a triangle between the young lovers, and the disapproving mother, Parthy.
		This is definitely a curio but worth preserving to give us a third view of the same material in film terms and to see and hear the narrative apart from the now overly familiar Kern-Hammerstein score.
