The Impossible City: The History of Venice -- pt. 2: Seasons of Power & Pleasure
We trace Venice's remarkable flowering between the 1300s and 1500s, in which it astonished Europe as a center of commercial and imperial power, learning, and art, as well as its repeated struggles -- with the bubonic plague, the Ottoman Turks, the rival Italian states, and the Catholic Church -- that forced Venice to give up its empire, and to transform into a pleasure-ground of music, theater, sex, and revelry -- arguably becoming the world's first tourist attraction -- before finally losing its long-treasured independence and becoming a pawn of modern powers.

👍🏿👍🏿
Prince Albert Victor was not the son of Queen Victoria an Prince Albert, but of Edward Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and his wife Princess Alexandra (later Queen Alexandra) of Denmark.
I'd like to add that, the moment Alex enters Kensington palace, wet from the rain, he's standing slightly off center to the arch (17:25) and almost in the exact same place David came in to greet Henry after he'd run from the Lake House.
that's a great point
✨️🙂✨️ Very good video.
Thank you so much for making this. This is far better content on my heritage than most of what's on the internet. It would very cool if you looked into Johann "Rukeli" Trollman and spread his story. 🙏
Thank you! It happens that I did discuss Rukeli's life & career in History of the Roma, part 2, which currently is only available on patreon for patrons
Ps Spanish gypsies are mixed across North Africa and call themselves Domi Gypsy They descend from the Cobra gypsies in Rajasthan

❤🙏
I haven’t actually watched the video yet, but this is the best Christmas present and I’m very excited to watch it 😃
Great episode, deserves mamy more likes 💚👌
I believe the establishing shot with the mirror would have been the third shot of the movie!! They went back later and shot the intro scene with the snub greeting months later (hence the wig on Nick/Henry).
Another interesting parallel: you can see as Alex and Henry exit the French doors in Buckingham palace that Henry’s wig comes back on.. they weren’t originally going to exit the doors all the way but the shot of them exiting was added in later on
I did not know this! Do you mean that the original script started off without the limo & receiving line scenes?
@@Historiansplaining I believe so but don’t quote me on it. Someone had called them reshoots but I believe it was Matthew Lopez who clarified that they were not reshoots. My perception is that after they recast Miguel they had to reshoot but they also added some segments.
As a huge fan of the book and film, I’m still amazed by the themes and metaphors that your deep dives reveal. I’ve been waiting for this next installment of your painstaking research, and it was well worth the wait!
Whoever came up with this knew what they were doing.........
Wow! So many details, relevations, metaphors that make sense and fit in with the story and with the characters. I especially liked the mirrored scenes of Alex in the establishing shot and in the red room, also him watching Henry make music in the karaoke bar and in the KP music room. Also, the overall theme with the animals and hunting. Me personally I only noticed the cat and dog reference in the hospital. All the rest you explained makes me think, that maybe this very subtle ‚hunt‘, be it Alex or the press, makes it so exciting to watch, even though it‘s a „feel-good“ movie and not a thriller?:) My mind is, again, blown. Thank you so much for all your work and effort!
I’m incredibly grateful for your analyses of this film. It’s crazy how much it’s impacted our lives. Your explanations and breakdowns are impeccable, and so refreshing and relevant.
I just now realized that Bach wrote the Goldberg variations to help an insomniac to sleep, and Henry is a "world-class insomniac"
Alex’s key and Henry’s ties representing how Alex and Henry see sexuality as a way to discover vs a way to cover, respectively, blew my mind! I literally got the shivers. What an incredibly well-thought out analysis you are lovingly making of Red, White and Royal Blue. I will re-watch many times, just as I’ve rewatched your prior episodes, and continue savoring all of the nuances. I think someone should by now be alerting Casey McQuiston, Mathew Lopez and other creators of both book and movie, as to how you are translating and honoring their work. It’s amazing. Thank you!!
It's the Anglo-Saxon culture, not 'race' as we understand it today. Victorians used the word very differently.
I greatly appreciate all the work and attention put into this series!!! I watch/listen to the videos in this playlist very often. 💙
I was very confused the first time I heard "god save the king".
This video is Awesome. I was trying to read the book of Olaf Pedersen about it, but it is very confusing and he seems not to care about relating what he writes to the book's topic. Then i found your video, which is very understandable, and i think i'll use it as a source for a video about this subject which i'm working on
Yayyy! Part 3 is here 🥳🥳🥳
Yay!! Finally! Been checking daily for this 🥰
Ahh .. at last it came... Had been waiting for so long.... And as expected, I was thrilled to find out so many new pieces to look at which I didn't notice before and enjoyed the journey of taking me thru the history of them and the relevance of their presence in the story telling. Well, being completely addicted to ur series as I am, can't help but already waiting for ur next episodes. Plz don't make ur fans like me wait for months again.....😊😊
But, your episodes on Venice, Gilgamesh and Touro Torah made it worth waiting for this one! Looking forward to whatever you have lined up next. I couldn't guess how many hours you devote to creating each of your lectures. Thank you!
Bravo!! This was amazing!
Wow. WASPy Hunter leaked the mails. Why didn't I get that? It's possible. Could it be that in the movie the co-worker that walked in when Alex was telling Nora about his two experiences with men could have leaked the mails? The one that looks and dresses like a young Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Yeah, the young woman who walks in on them might have been the leaker, or at least might have started a rumor. I didn't think about her very much, since she seems so hapless, especially as compared to Hunter, who is consciously sneaky and antagonistic. I think that the book has pretty strong hints that Hunter steals the emails, such as when Alex catches him snooping in the Texas binder.
Yes. Hunter also invites Alex to improv shows and Alex never goes. And then there is the argument between the two. Maybe Miguel's character is based on Hunter... a little bit.
The dumpy young woman reminds me of the lonely secretaries in western embassies who are wooed by Stasi agents in spy films. Miguel is a bit of a charmer.
I like the idea that the woman in the film who deliberately walks in on Alex and Nora in the glass office could be the email leaker. We know Miguel got hold of the super-confidential Texas memo as he literally has his sources in the White House. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was charming a lonely woman into doing his dirty work.
I am absolutely enraptured by these videos. I adore the book so deeply and this is exactly the kind of dissection of a story that I love! Yes! I anxiously await each new one and I am so grateful to you for all of the hard work and dedication that you put in to each episode. Thank you. Thrilled to be discussing any book/ movie of a book, and especially this one, in the way that you are. I am also developing a much deeper respect for the director and the entire team involved.
I have seen the movie and read the book so many times, and I am still discovering new things. When you talked about keys I just realized that Henry says (in the turkey-phone call scene) that the royal family shares one password for watching TV.
Uh, the detail that the key Henry uses before the Museum scene being that he's letting himself out of the palace rather than into the museum is mind blowing. It changes the whole scene knowing that. It's like he's breaking out of prison, bars and all. Thanks for pointing that out. I too thought he was letting himself into a gate around the museum or something.
Thank you so much. I just started to watch it. I like the beginning of the red room scene as well. The Alexander Hamilton portrait is like a mirror.
And Hamilton had his own sex scandal

KABBALAH IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE 2ND COMMANDMENT. Its so sad to hear Jews be clueless that the Messiah already came. We'll never know, but maybe the reason they have suffered so much is because they defied God by rejecting The Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. But nobody's willing to have that conversation, are they? Sad. I pray for all lost souls
