Merchant of Venice, the movie

Merchant of Venice, the movie 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Just back from seeing Merchant of Venice on the silver screen.  It is amazing how badly behaved nearly all of the characters are.  Shylock, mostly referred to as "the Jew" and addressed as "Jew,...", is bitter and unwilling to forgive all the times the Christians have spit on him.  Shylock's daughter is ungrateful for all of his loving care and trust and happy to run off and never see the old man again for the rest of her life.  The young Christian gentleman is typified by Bassanio, who squandered his fortune on high living and who decides to find a rich chick to marry so that he can pay his debts.  The rich chick Portia impersonates a judge so that she can help the rest of the Christians cheat Shylock out of the 3000 ducats he lent for the fortune-hunting expedition plus the rest of his wealth.  The only person in the entire play who behaves creditably is Antonio, the actual Merchant of Venice in the title.

It is tough to argue with a cast that includes Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons.  Teenage boys will also want to feign an interest in classic theater in order to get into this film, which covers a period in history where all women displayed either beautiful cleavage or entirely bare breasts.

[Those who complain that Shakespeare painted the Jews in a negative light should be reminded that Shakespeare almost certainly never met a Jew.  The Jews were expelled from England in 1290, with their property confiscated by the king.  Shakespeare finished Merchant of Venice in 1597.  Jews were re-admitted to England in 1655.]

Natalie Merchant abandons the recording
industry 03/14/2003 01:08 PM
Pat sez, "Natalie Merchant has completely severed her relationship with the commercial recording industry. Her new album, to be released this June, won't be released by a major label, but on her own independent imprint through her website."

They expect fans to learn about the album from Ms. Merchant's Web site and through publicity and a small advertising campaign. To gauge demand, they may offer fans who order the CD in advance a downloadable file of a song from the sessions that is not included on the album. In an increasingly consolidated retail business, a handful of chain stores, like Borders and Barnes & Noble, have accounted for a large percentage of Ms. Merchant's sales in the past; now her label is approaching them directly.

"I don't know that every artist has the capability to go directly to these chains, but Natalie has a history," Mr. Smith said.
