Covered the play in high school. Even as a teenager I found it interesting.

fuckin crazy

It really hits different when you're affected by mental illness. I read this for theater class and I was struck by how I could find myself in the madness. Now I know it's the whole of humanity instead of just insanity. Not to discredit the other two, but Nagg and Nell's actors just add more tenderness and vulnerability to the characters. Clov's sad expression at the end really adds to it. He's free but he's seeing the only person in his life withering away.

Poor old Mother Pegg …

世界の文学ですよね？助け合いましょういってひとつに

"Endgame" was a really impressive yet well thought-out play, Samuel Beckett sure did really well on the plays that he had created in my opinion 😏😉👍

Now my family has a running joke: "How are your stumps?" "Never mind about me stumps!"

Didn't like this production at all. Too much of the play's comedy is missed and the close filming is a disaster.

The room looks a lot like the attic from Hellraiser. Same lighting as well. I wonder if it's the same set?

Wow, this was a horrible play.

some lines in beckett feel like an absolute gut punch, e.g 1:09:00 "you know what it is? i was never there". also in waiting for godot when pozzo first reveals he is blind

Yes extradinary performences by all playersNot everyones cup of tea .I find this totaly beguiling and unfathomable and challenging. Waiting for Goddard finigins wake James joyce drama harold pinters plays are simular to this style.

I love how gleeful Clov is about operating that alarm clock

i laughed out loud while reading this, and cried while watching it. only beckett.

Stunning. I've seen this play three times and this makes me feel like I understand what they are saying for the first time.

What is the point of words after this? Exactly as I dared picture it in my head. Astonishing.

Anyone else here after Michael Gambon passed away? :(

RIP Michael Gambon. A truly great actor, IMHO.

RIP MICHAEL GAMBON ❤️

1:01:30 "what month are we" is slightly terrifying. also it seems to confuse clov

36:50 "your dogs are here" about one dog. i dont know why i find this so funny. also "here's your gaff, stick it up"

I wonder when Becket first realised he could make a living out of churning out drivel like this and passing it off as " Drama " ? Not his fault of course. As the great P T Barnum pointed out " There never has been and never will be a shortage of Rubes ".

This movie would have destroyed me during quarantine

Steptoe and Son. Without the laughs.

this is a horrible play you guys just obsess over it because you want to be perceived as intelligent

It's significant how Clove gets more and more dressed as the day goes on, he starts in a pair of pajamas and a dressing gown, then when he next appears he's wearing a pair of pajamas and cardegan, by the time he's looking at the window at 28:00 he's put on trousers with suspenders

Thank you so much for posting this. Cannot imagine what Channel 4 (or the BBC, for that matter) would do to this now once it had been through their DEI sausage machine.

I hesitate to end! Powerful!

Ich habe das Stück selber gespielt. Aber da kommt keiner ran 🎉😮

Blimey. Bleak! It's pretty much a remake of Waiting for Godot, though, and I don't know if you can pull that stunt twice. Although David Thewliss is a bit of an accent specialist, it would've been less distracting to either let them do their own accents or cast Irish actors if that's what they wanted. The parents soon forget about doing the accent at all.

I get a great deal of comfort from this. I don't know what that says about me, but I'm not mad about it.

1:15:32 "I open the door of the cell and go. I am so bowed I only see my feet, if I open my eyes, and between my legs a little trail of black dust. I say to myself that the earth is extinguished, though I never saw it lit." "It’s easy going. When I fall I’ll weep for happiness."

"Use your head, can't you, use your head. You're on Earth, there's no cure for that! ... But what in God’s name do you imagine? That the earth will awake in the spring? That the rivers and seas will run with fish again? That there’s manna in heaven still for imbeciles like you?" Brilliant.

1:11:50 "In between, however, in the midst of the tumult, we see the glances of two lovers meet longingly: yet why so secretly, fearfully, and stealthily?" World as will and idea

They are lucky that the moon isn´t full.

45:15 brilliant moment

Nell seems to be the only sane character. She is the only one with a clear perception of the fact that happiness and purpose has evaporated from all their lives. She is the only one who retains a coherent memory of times past. She consequently is the only one who voluntarily lets go of life, realising that life has been lived and should now come to an end. She tries to share this with Nagg, but he is unable to grasp the significance of it. The other characters seem to oscillate between the realisation that everything is pointless and that death is appropriate, and in the next moment they distract themselves by meaningless conversation and games. In addition they are afflicted with amnesia and confusion about what has happened, and if life ever had any value. Absolutely brilliant play, one of my favourites.

Yeah, of course, it's them, & the Brits can do no wrong, but this is not a play about the cruel vying with the lost, and especially, what's the damn hurry??? And it's as though they are wearing beauty queen sashes proclaiming, "The Definitive Production," and "Far Superior."

I hate English class, this is depressing as shit.

God David was stunning in this

3:52 7:00 17:28 17:49 23:30 27:53 35:05 40:18 40:40 44:45 45:29 48:18 50:39 51:35 56:36 1:04:04 1:05:04 1:06:56 1:09:43 1:11:12 1:11:54 1:12:35 1:14:19

That was an absolute brilliant adaptation. Honestly, When I read the play it came very close to this in my mind's eye. Powerful, profound, moving and sad.

As entertaining as absurdist drama is, I'm not sure they called it correctly. From the ominous events unfolding since 2020, it's looking much more painful and sinister--not just repetitive and dull. Being decimated by design is much worse than flickering off into oblivion. Who would've thunk it? 😉

A real classic take of existalism ~ Beckett probes into the pointlessly nature of the human condition -- focussing symbolically on our rather pathetically & poignant stage -- frail and decrepitude old age. As the human body fails us hopelessly and the senile-senses decline to near nothing ~ we are left with vague angry mind only. .... And even that - eventually - starts to totally go with hilarious results! Humour ( of the blackest kind ! ) is our last and only resort left to fight back with -- till we all eventually must be forced by fate to play out our final cards -- the bitter " end game " of old age is what inevitable ensues to us all; in the very sad end game. An absolute must see !

我真的非常非常喜欢Steve Balsamo的声音！！！他好像很容易被他唱的歌感动到😭😭感谢我找到这么宝藏的歌手🙏🙏love it

1:02:20

Great acting right there. Especially the actor who played Nagg absolutely killed it

Pale for weariness....
