George Bernard Shaw documentary

[@trevorbrunell9039]

22:18 “ If you’d known all I had to put up with in my life. You would say heaven would defend me for living that man’s life. However I don’t complain. it doesn’t matter if one dies poor which I’m not going to do by the way, but as long as our life is happy. And the ways to have a happy life is be to busy doing what you like all the time. Having no time left for you to consider weather your happy or not…” - George Bernard Shaw.

This channel deserves so much more subscribers

[@AuthorDocumentaries]

Thank you for that

[@aidanamson8568]

I visited his previous home ' Shaws corner' well worth a visit. Btw thanks for uploading this.

[@janethayes5941]

This is my favorite channel. I love learning about the writers.

[@Middleground2022]

Nice to see he connected to his Irish accent towards the end of his life

[@mumsow]

Brilliant channel.

[@sunrisenaturebells7281]

Here because Atul Mishra sir said to watch this documentary ☺️

[@nancycrabtree6312]

You have to hand it to him, he flip-flammed himself through a lot of his life.

[@spiritinthesky572]

He was an paid agent of the NWO like H G Wells

[@dylanrock4565]

The first example of modern trolling George Bernard Shaw

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

A truly wonderful irishman and batter for the underdog.

[@alinapopescu872]

I love him as a playwright, I now also love him as a person. I confess I knew little about his life. Thank you for this documentary, it has helped me to answer some questions I had concerning certain characters in his plays. Also, reading some of the comments here, I see that he was, as always, right.

[@DavidHoward62]

Was he not a Eugenicist? It is said he supported Hitler and wrote of using Gas to exterminate people of no "use". Search George Bernard Shaw on Capital Punishment here.

[@irismckay6472]

Love this channel and GBS, whom I share a birthday with. He's the author of my favorite saying when it comes to responding to trolls on the internet and elsewhere, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it." Miss hearing Mike Wallace's voice. Grew up hearing him on 60 minutes. (RIP Mike) 📺

as we say in Ireland ''he was away with the fairies''

Such genius!!

[@batman5224]

I have very mixed feelings on George Bernard Shaw. First of all, he was a brilliant writer. He had a tremendous wit, but it also seems like he had no heart. His Social Darwinist views were also quite repulsive. Without a doubt, he was an enthralling man, but also a very flawed one.

[@lawrenceray3545]

What kind of flaws do you have???

Amazing how Oscar Wilde was a year younger than him. If Wilde hadn't died he could have lived up to the age of Shaw

[@histakes12]

We all could live up to the ahe of Shaw if not for death…

Shaw was one of the founders of The Fabian Socialist Society . His ideals have come home to roost , and tear America apart. Glen Beck did a important docu show The Democratic Hydra about the Fabians . George Soros is a Fabian for example .

[@hoodpope713]

Thank you for posting this, I came here wondering why this guy was at the center of a crackpot conspiracy theory. Turns out he’s just a stand-up comedian before we had a word for it.

[@spiritinthesky572]

He wrote a 50 page forward in Einstein's Cosmic Religion I HIGHLY recommend. Apparently his job was to promote him as a genius he wasn't.

[@clovisra]

Everybody can name himself as they wish. There was an economist that worked to the rightist military dictatorship here in my country that said he was a fabianist. Soros, ah! The same the democrats in the US inow said to be leftists. The concept of left and right is lost nowadays. The fabianists were socialists that wanted to reform society by legislation, not revolution. Shaw was a socialist.

[@Twentythousandlps]

In his younger years, he was a Fabian, but later he was an unabashed Communist.

[@marcwinfield1541]

Same thing, Fabian or commie?

[@khurshmian6156]

I adore and love George Bernard Shaw. He was a profoundly humane human being. A literary genius for all time.

[@brownserpent]

Imagine the stuff he smoked, must be next level too

[@cynthiamillen3768]

So much lacking, imho, in this biography. Privately he was very generous and kind to the villagers in Ayot St Lawrence where he lived. Yes, he was odd, but it was all an act---a very witty, brilliant act. Pygmalion (My Fair Lady) will always be my favorite.

[@WaynesWorldOnline]

This biography should be re-shot, starring Will Ferrell as GBS.

[@barrycross2585]

No chance

Thank you. I'll adjust that in the description box.

You're VERY welcome.

Is that really all there is to GBS? I won’t be following up on his canon.

[@LoyalOpposition]

Read his books. So many are online for free.

[@jesseman123]

Something was wrong with his soul. He obviously had a terrible up bringing. Instead of getting stronger, he didn't have the right kind of help and took a turn for the worst

MIKE, why did you omit his encounter with Islam?

His being brilliant is overshadowed by his ignorance and being a fool. I have no respect for anyone who was an apologist for Joseph Stalin, no matter how smart they may be.

Do not like this guy at all.

[@fromthesidelines]

Shaw was not without his critics.

[@mortemoccasus2412]

Read Pygmalion then speak. I don't give a damn about his political views but as a playwright, he is next to Ibsen as British counterpart of best modern dramatist.

[@helenamaria710]

Neither do I but my favorite writer Ray Bradbury said they were twins, and THAT is disturbing. Apart from his hatred of women!😲

My opinion he was a genius. So all people with negative opinions about him should just keep them to their self.
