- A contrarian and wickedly funny man, "The Education of Gore Vidal" explores Vidal's extraordinary life and work, joining him at his cliff-side villa in Ravello, Italy.
Loved Gore Vidal..He would hate what our country has become.....God help us find sanity
such a great documentary on mr. gore vidal. i enjoyed the entire thing and didn't mind rewinding many times to soak in the words, facial expressions, his house, etc. would so much like to get any glimpse of vidal's view on life, humanity, etc. i can watch him again and again and never get bored. the director has done an amazing job!
The guy was a one-of. Loved watching him on TV.
You are very missed Mr. Vidal💙
Great man. ♥️
Imagine remembering the perfume that Mussolini was wearing! And JFK's tooth tapping while watching your play! Vidal remembered, and was curious. What a unique moment in time to reflect on people in history.
21:29-21:55 How relevant these words are right now.
If he could look our current - ongoing organic - stupidity in the face, he would adorn it with a perfectly unruffled remark of summation. But he would also burn with patriotic indignation. How he
welcomed the battle of Life. I love the story of the New York cabbie who, dropping him off said ' have a nice day ' to which Vidal laconically responded, 'no thank you, I've made other plans'.
Change is the nature of life and its hope.
Bloom on point-00:57'
8:23 WHAT!!! I wonder what was built on top?
Nice little gaff. If you enjoy that sort of thing.
@37:15 Gore Vidal reading Christopher Hitchens' book 'Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the public sphere' --- it has two essays on Vidal 😀
um
Did the old queen prefer pitching or catching?
Do you?
