This is a good bio, and I read almost no Hemingway. My main association with is tthe AaJJ Abram’s book AShip of Theseus. Weird book, but exceptional.

'Orson Welles Reveals The Truth About Ernest Hemingway' Really? Where?? So what, this is nothing but click bait??

Dead right. Many of these videos promise much but deliver only what you knew already. What do they gain?

Click bait ? Here on the Internet? Shocked I tell you.

He had an unhealthy fascination with violence and death, both horrifying and obsessive; the proverbial 90lb weakling in a suit of armor. I find him more pathetic than admirable. Wells is a far more compelling character.

It's usually better to reveal things before your death.

Another note: Ernest Hemingway's mother, Grace Hall Hemingway, dressed him in girls' clothing during his early childhood. She even referred to him as "Ernestine" at times. Maybe some of the bravado is rooted here.

During Hemingway's early years (under 5 years of age) boys and girls were dressed alike , in pinafores and smocks. I have several photos around 1909 of my father and his twin sister and his brothers at the age of 4 and 5 years old dressed in what we would call a dress. Also my mother's brothers. Children were considered sexless till they got older. Different times, different fashions

@@oldepersonne Yes. I guess the question is whether Hemingway's mother went beyond that. I do think Mark Twain would beg to differ here.

A truly crummy video. It's a very shallow Cliff Notes version of a biography.

another standard analysis of Hemingway: scarcely anything involving Welles: not even a word spoken by Welles: what dark secret?: bit of a garden path this!

@2:10 there's the suggestion that the father's suicide occured then, when it wasn't until later (@11:00) 1928 when EH was 29. @3:25 the picture is of an older EH, of WW2 era equipment, not WW1.

I am surprised nothing was mentioned about his Spanish Civil War experiences.

Hemingway was always an angry man, and suicide is an angry impulse.

@syourke3 Ай бұрын

Suicide is not an “angry impulse”. It’s a desperate act - to escape from the unbearable and hopeless pain of clinical depression. Depression ran in his family and took his fathers life and his granddaughters life as well as his own. I suffer from chronic depression and I can understand why some people give up on life. Depression is unremitting suffering. And back in 1960, we didn’t have all these antidepressants. He sought relief in alcohol and eventually in suicide. It doesn’t reflect on his character. It’s a brain disorder. And it can kill.

Hemingway was under Psy care at the end of his life receiving ECT that worsened his depression. It’s oblivious from today’s standards he was suffering from PTSD actually CPTSD few know how to treat multiple trauma …….. PTSD was not a diagnosis until 1980 built in part of the Vietnam War Vets experiences
