GEORGE BERNARD SHAW - SOUND

"The mind can make a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven."

[@spikehofmann]

His educated Irish accent is beautiful. Did Wilde also talk like this? Or was his accent more like 'cut glass' english?

[@ajs41]

Interesting question.

[@MbartM96]

This is just a clearly enunciated Irish accent, and many people who did not have an education spoke in this way in the past with a little effort. My grandmother spoke like this. It is likely that Wilde had a similar accent.

[@full_ArmourOfGod]

He was pretty much anglicised by this age.

[@uyoebyik]

He didn't always speak like that. He's actually mocking the Irish here. Listen to some of the other videos of him. Anglo Irish wasn't Irish

[@damianbylightning6823]

Anyone know where I can read Shaw's review of H S Chamberlain's Foundations of the Nineteenth Century? It's not on the net.

[@davezdragon]

I think I like his "Why not" quote the best.

[@westernrider100]

Avowed socialist and communist.

George Nurnard Sha Great

[@ocuriosotiobob8962]

From Brazil. He was deceived by Lenin and advertised socialismo while ignoring the murderers and the genocides... I watched many documentaries about him.

[@ganjaericco]

Ignoring them? He advocated for mass killing. Search, "George Bernard Shaw talking about capital punishment"

[@bardotte5757]

PLEASE STOP saying Bernard Shaw is your GREAT GRANDAD ! I am a G B shaw specialist. I was Custodian of & I lived at Shaw’s home Shaw’s Corner for 8 years and have read ALL of Shaw’s works & Diaries, all the books he has written and all books written about him and I know that George Bernard Shaw NEVER HAD CHILDREN ! Bernard Shaw even went PUBLIC & DECLARED that it is not possible that he children. His wife & he went public that Mrs Shaw was so TERRIFIED of GIVING BIRTH that MRS SHAW REFUSED TO HAVE SEX.

[@h.f9526]

Bardotte does it make sense that he’s my great great great uncle

[@uyoebyik]

I'd say he was gay and didn't want to shag his wife

[@scorpio2t]

Sir Reginald Hargreeves caught in human form irl 🤣

[@jonathanbrandt8044]

I question the year of this film - Shaw mentions that the American President became famous for feeding the starving millions of war-devastated Europe. That is a reference to Herbert Hoover, who left office in March, 1933.

[@gvc76]

@@3000_Year_Old_Man I wonder. He mentions in his speech that the United States was established "141 years ago", obviously referring to the signing of the US Constitution, which happened in 1789. That would put his speech in 1930.

[@oskartheme5233]

@@gvc76 No, the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence was "141 years before" the 1917 Russian Revolution. 10:07

[@gvc76]

@@oskartheme5233 It may be. But if that's what he really meant, then that was a poor choice of words; saying "141 years ago" makes one think that he is referring to his present. Unless "ago" had a slightly different meaning back then.

He was a mad lad.

[@Shirley-lock]

[@superomnenomen]

He is related to me through his grandad or great grandad so that would make us like cousins or something

[@drh8h]

A great critic, social commentator and playwright in younger days; as B. H. Haggin said, he degenerated into a "unpleasantly perverse and silly world figure." The young Shaw fought for improvement in the lives in the underprivileged. I don't know if it was senility or disillusionment from the mass killing of WW1, but he certainly changed. I prefer to remember the young genius and not the doddering fool.

[@dumupad3-da241]

As for 'fighting for improvement in the lives of the underprivileged', his support for the USSR as seen in the video does not contradict that, on the contrary. Among those who, like Shaw, believed that the way to 'improve the lives of the underprivileged' was socialism, many let their wishful thinking get the better of them and imagined that Soviet Russia was what they had hoped for. When people had observed the evils of capitalism up close for most of their lives, it's hard to blame them too much for hoping in 1917 that a better world was finally around the corner. That said, Shaw does appear to have had - maybe increasingly - a weird narcissistic soft spot for dictatorial methods as such, when exercised by self-identified 'great men' over their 'inferiors', and that caused him to express sympathy even for Hitler and Mussolini at times.

[@FreedomSpirit108]

To bad to see him defend his ego .

[@miltonperez1275]

He spoke lovingly of Hitler too. Humanity beat them at their quest to enslave all humanity. Fuck this piece of shit elitist. Glad he lost.

I wonder what happened to that lady who then ...according to GBShaw ,she now weighs 50 stones,& had left nothing but a shilling for his night meal.....

[@I_know_it_I_sew_it_I_grow_it]

She died.

[@kinbentley6063]

Pity Shaw wasn't around to see the USSR collapse like a house of cards. He has all the fervour you'd expect of an economically illiterate extremist. Sad, because as a playwright he was excellent.

[@gpvcam]

He was naturopathy lover. He was against allopathy.

Nobil prise Burnord SHA

[@lernerlehrer8225]

So strange. He pronounces as German

[@nabeelkirmani]

Lerner Lehrer it sure does now because the British accent has evolved a lot. If you would listen to Queen Elizabeth's early speeches then you would find much similarities with this one. I think it is called Recieved Pronunciation or RP Accent.

[@andrewmartin6445]

He has an Irish accent.
