- More than 40 years after his death, Hemingway is one of the most widely read and written about American authors. Many of his works are still in print, some in as many as 20 languages, including A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls. It is the art of Hemingway's story telling that forms the heart of this film, the point of departure from which Hemingway's work is uniquely explored.
I asked my mother about the old newspaper clipping in our family photo album. It was an article about a George Hemingway selling real estate in Oak Park, Illinois, circa 1923. Mother said the Hemingways were my father's cousins, but didn't elaborate. I felt my conservative parents didn't approve of the hell-raising writer. I never mentioned the subject again. Now, I wish I knew more and perhaps had a genealogy done. I always got highest marks on my college essays. Perhaps there is something to the Genetic Imperative. This is a mixed blessing. Hemingway ended his torment with a shotgun. My father pulled the oxygen catheter off his face, after going to hospital with a massive heart attack.
Go to 23 and Me. Take the DNA
Yeah, or ancestry. They will know and tell you if you're related.
Gazillions of folks got the highest marks on college essays.
@@saintexupery8406 Yep nothing genetic about it. I was rather good, at one time, at a sport. I had "talent" at that sport through interest, exposure to it, and I did other things that gave me practice in the kind of self-control and diligence required. At the time I was good at the sport, I had a little formula, "Talent, Interest, Dedication" but now I think it's "Exposure, Interest, Dedication".
You can, in a positive way, add your creative imagination to fill that blank.
best documentry I watched this year 10/10 would recommend
@Davion Justus yeah well nobody gives a damn
Great documentary. PBS is too politically biased now
He was a wonderful writer commanding ones full attention to his words. He must have had somewhat of a troubled soul.
Aren’t we all
His characters are quite his character himself...in very different ways....
Ernst Hemingway is less an american and more as a world citizen....No wonder he got Nobel Prize for his well known short nove " The Old man and the Sea" ....His legacy to the human race is included in this short nove...NEVER GIVE UP IN ORDER TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS....
"Never give up" is imperative in a life and death situation. It's the stupidest advice possible if a person is attempting a dream that's beyond their intelligence and their talent. All it does is lead to a wasted life, depression, and immense regret when that dream finally dies, and the person realizes he's too near death to attempt a dream where he could have succeeded.
W.C. Field said it best-- "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If you still don't succeed, quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it."
He was absolutely correct. There's a time to realize you chose the wrong dream, a time to stop being a damn fool. Quit and find another dream.
Well put
The man who liberated the Ritz Bar in Paris, WWII.
What a time to be there for that!
He also liberated their wine cellar🍷
His life was as interesting as his novels.
A magnificent Documentary....A Genius....we lost too soon...much too soon....a tormented conflicted man.
Excellent! Thank you.
Magnificent documentary!
Thank You
"Hemingway, in my estimation, is the Last person..." too funny.
Ernest never got over what his psychologically & emotionally abusive mother did to him in his youth...and most of his demons came from from her cruel, selfish, repressive, toxic behavior. She drove her devoted husband to suicide without a care in the world. Hemingway never trusted women because of her and other females who betrayed him in his early years.
Excellent luv PAPA
I didn't know it was bad eyesight that made him go into the ambulance corps instead of the Army. Same here really, can't be a bus driver or a pilot or a lot of things where they're picky about eyesight, requiring one to see out of all two eyes and everything. It didn't keep me from having lots of motorcycles at one time and getting the speedy go-go out of my system.
Her voice is perfect narration
I wonder why Key West and his home there was never mentioned.?
Well and honestly done. Thanks.
Yes - and don't all rivers run to the sea!!
♥️💥♥️💥
The Cuban revolution was a wonderful thing, and a light to the workers of the world. Shame on Hem for not realizing this.
