   i wish so much of this wasn’t clearly scripted but the moments that appeared genuine were so funny and brilliant. hamlet dying while an alien is hip thrusting in the background.

   Strangely earnest and moving – captures the joys of spending Covid nights gaming with your mates and the singular GTA Online moments that would have you howling with laughter to the point of forgetting everything happening in the outside world. Structurally astute in portraying moments of existential contemplation, even while resourcefully constrained. Incredibly innovative and brings to light the many many creative possibilities within the digital universe. Obviously much artifice to it all in terms of it being marketed as a doc, but I quite enjoyed this!

   “God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.” or “Give o’er the play!” Achingly modern, entirely silly, a very pure work of ingenuity and intuition. The movie MEGALOPOLIS wanted to be. Should have been like 30 hours long. PS: if anyone has a link to watch the full performance please let me know.

   To be or not to be. That was the question facing so many artists at the height of the COVID pandemic (let’s call it January 2021), when the crisis seemed as if it might continue forever, and the absence of an audience threatened to chip away at the creative spirit itself. Suddenly unemployed and unable to support his family after landing the biggest role of his life (the titular wizard in the London production of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”), British actor Sam Crane couldn’t help but wonder — to quote a certain Danish prince — “whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of…

    I’m broadly moved by the grand social experiment of playing video games, and my life was changed (?) by playing Witcher 3 in the winter of 2020/2021, AND I love Hamlet (grad school alert) therefore I am ideally the target audience for this sort of thing. I’ve seen a handful of complaints that gripe with the film’s “scripted” quality – I basically do not really accept this movie as a “documentary”; it’s quite staged, and that’s fine. that works within the broad conceit of the subject matter, and I don’t really trust “theatre people” to go full-blown verité. BUT – I do think those scenes that people take issue with – where the characters are simply spelling out what is…

    A weird little time capsule movie for a weird time in history, when a global pandemic forced us into lockdown
    and for some, this became an opportunity to create.

    Going into this, I thought I’d be seeing something much more different than the end product, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit let down with the actual performance of the play. Felt like it was jumping around and just showing the highlights. Maybe that’s for the best. But it is an interesting and ambitious idea, trying go crowd source a Shakespeare production with people playing characters in a digital world. Genuinely teared up at bits too.

    Lockdown played havoc with so many lives, but professionally none more so than those in the entertainment industry. With theatres and cinemas all closed, their livelihoods dried up and a serious degree of ennui crept in to their day to day lives. One escape from that was “Grand Theft Auto” and that’s where we meet jobbing actors Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen. Two forty-somethings who were dealing with this situation by shooting as many folks as they could online. The former lives with Pinny and has a couple of kids, the latter lives on his own and is struggling to find some sort of motivation. It’s whilst playing the game one day that they find an outdoor auditorium and hit on the idea of performing “Hamlet” there. Swiftly they realise that standing on the stage belting out the best of the bard is only going to get their characters shot, then that two folks aren’t going to be able to cover all the roles – so they embark on a project to recruit other players to fill the roles. What now ensues sees these men introduced to some serious would-be Thespians, some folks who think he wrote “Harry Potter” and some generally eclectic characters who all decide that this can be done after all. I’m not sure Shakespeare could ever have envisaged his play being put on using warplanes or giant blimps whilst the actors faced real peril (though I am sure we’ve all seen plays on stage where that might have been a benefit!) but as the two men start to become more absorbed with there mission it starts to become just as compelling to watch. Can they do it? How is their obsession impacting on their “real” lives? I have never played GTA in my life so was a little apprehensive that not knowing the game might impact on my enjoyment. It didn’t at all, indeed that proved quite a fun template for their scenario as the mix of characters they encountered showed quite clearly that these men were not the only ones adrift in a closed-down world. As you’d expect, it is a quickly paced affair and I thought well worth and hour and a half.
