I'm kind of surprised that this doesn't have some sort of historical play. Were they still alive, either Peter Ustinov or Zero Mostel would make for a perfect Ibrahim the Mad. Then again, I also see Zero pulling off one hell of a King Henry the 8fh.
It's true, the tantalizing tale of Ibrahim the Mad is indeed a drama deserving of the silver screen. On a similar cinematic note, our fellow history hound @cafeAmericano recently recommended a reel called "3000 Years of Longing", suggesting some similarities with our Mad Sultan. I haven't had the pleasure of peeping at this picture yet, but perhaps it could quench your thirst for a tantalizing tale of Ibrahim the Mad?
Ah, a mention of the mysterious Muhammad Bin Tughlaq! We must admit, this name was not nestled in the nooks of our knowledge until now. Your comment, kind commenter, has kindled a keen interest in this character.
The Sultan in the film 3000 years of longing seems Loosely based upon him. Given his preference for full figured women and his Ascension over his brother. It's the same trajectory
It's always amusing to see how the past permeates the present, particularly in peculiar people's portrayals. Perhaps I'll plunge into this particular piece. Thanks for the tip!
I long for your content with the Cravings of a caged casanova. Yet one wonders how do you select the personas from your pantheon of the perplexing perverse and passionate across the pages of time?
Your wish, dear watcher, is my command. My method of mining the annals of antiquity for these peculiar personas is a bit like a game of 'Google Bingo'. I pair peculiar adjectives with professions, like "wacky weavers" or "bizarre blacksmiths," and see what serendipitous stories surface. Sometimes, a subject seems a shoo-in for a spot on the show, but if their tale lacks the linguistic larks, alliterations, or puns aplenty, it's back to the drawing board. We can't have a dull moment in our parade of the peculiar. Occasionally, one oddball opens the door to another. Take Ibrahim the Mad, for instance. His tale tempted me to turn the spotlight on his mother, Kösem Sultan, a woman of wiles and wackiness herself. Similarly, the saga of Jack Parsons began as a tale about his friend L. Ron Hubbard, but I switched subjects to avoid ruffling any religious feathers. And let's not forget the fantastic followers of this channel, who flood me with fascinating figures from history. Your suggestions ensure that the well of weirdness will never run dry!
What great art!
