[@DartanionLondon]

RIP you brilliant, brilliant man.

[@HnefataflModern]

Possibly the greatest explanation ever given for the importance and necessity of fiction. A wonderful response to non-fiction "snobs".

[@alexandernay5631]

Reading history is just as important. The soul needs the intellect.

[@aaronying4989]

I just love listening to him talk, anything he talks about becomes magical. Just the way he describes and presents things.

[@PaulKyriazi]

It's always great to her Mr. Bradbury talk about anything, because he can make anything entertaining and informative.

[@micaylab1]

The same can be said about Issac Asimov.😊

[@HistoryMovieCritic]

That's exactly how I write my stories! Bradbury was my favorite author. I think I have read all of his books.

[@taylorharbin3948]

Is that possible? Lol

[@TruthSurge]

when ads come up, turn your sound off and scroll down for 30 seconds. I dream of a day when the powerful quit taking advantage of everyone. Thanks for the vids.

A child touched by an electric sword, now inaugurated into the canon of beyond, touching back

[@barbaraarnstein179]

I had the great privilege of interviewing him in 1992.

[@IncredibleFulk1]

I remember first hearing about Ray Bradbury when I was young from the credits of "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" which in itself was based off his story "Fog Horn." Since then, I began my long journey of reading as many of Mr. Bradbury's stories I as I could. He was such a major influence on me and I wanted to become a writer thanks to him. I was shocked to hear of his passing today. This video was very informal for writers who have trouble find something to write about. RIP Mr. Bradbury!!!!!

[@UnionKid15]

I love ray bradbury, thanks a lot for posting this.

[@shanelaporte]

Fantastic insight into the creative process, and the importance of art and imagination for our very survival. Bravo Mr. Bradbury.

[@TonyaODellFamishedWriter]

A truthful tautology of "tension", whether one is hanging from a thread or wound too tight. #tension

[@stefanskrilec1833]

zelo zanimivo, hvala

[@SquareNightmareCat]

What a great video. I like Bradbury's way of looking at the world.

[@chrise143]

His explanation of 'the nursery' does not necessarily mean that there is no more to the story than a piece of science fiction exploration. It is still a representation of the relationship between technology and humanity, it clearly is, he is merely explaining one aspect of the tale to address a point he is making. Here he is simply explaining the way in which a plot or aspect of a story may be constructed, themes and concepts are then intertwined within the story to create great didactic fables

[@elniadtv2024]

Espero que lo subtitulen al español la mayoría de sus entrevistas. Es un hombre brillante.

[@GG_Dreamcast]

I really wish I could have met him.

[@JavierCabreraBrothers]

Here is the full documentary, for those who want to watch it. www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/telescope-ray-bradbury-illustrated

[@dougimmel]

Gracias, Javier!

[@Galbex21]

To think that the Nursery he is taling about is what we now call Meta or virtual reality.

[@duranmario]

it is because we are not animals, we are worst in our imperfection.

[@mariocisneros911]

Scary how he talks about the nursery from many years ago and today inventors are talking about such technology soon being here

[@louisblackforester]

The other Roddenberry

[@poplevi]

[@mariocisneros911]

The nursery is a story and sci fi radio show about 3d , no 4 d realistic videos.

[@vvim]

0:27 looks like Nixon patting him

[@wheelzwheela]

#waterpaint

[@OldMod67]

Steiger has no clothes on; Nixon - no cover-up! I get it. Or am I reading too much into this..........?

[@armeeuff1]

I bought a videocamera not long after my mom died, and I felt indirectly responsible. After watching this, I got an interesting insight into why I did 2 particular videos. In the 1st, (Remembrance) a woman dies. We all know her death is coming, but still, it happens quickly and takes the co-star by surprise. In the 2nd (Mine Child Mind) a woman is being taken away by death. The hero shows up, he leaves the scene yet she kills herself, and the man is left wondering if his actions caused this. Hmm

[@Hiitsmeagain1]

Reality is that it is 2020
