I played alfieri in our school reading, I was so proud..

[hiccuprocks101]

Can I just say how much I FRICKEN LOVE YOU right now?

[acyrox2426]

Alfieri's gender wasn't important in this play, just his role. So it's not important whether he's played by a man or a woman.

I'm using this to help with my Enlish lit a level study of A View From The Bridge.... to be honest, I don't care that Alfieri is played by a female, she does an excellent job of portraying the character and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this introduction to A View From The Bridge.

The storyline is brilliant aswell...

Nice job! A definite 'like' from me ;)

[basketiger]

Alfieri sounds like OBAMA!

[genelin1995]

Wow, first time I saw an actress portraying Afieri, interesting.

alfieri has an important role he's not only the narrator or the family lawyer he's also the bridge between tribal and american law hence the title of the play

[stonemonkey999]

I appreciate this because I don't have the play with me at home, have an essay to do and I haven't read the 2nd act. So this should be good.

[DSdude3]

@stonemonkey999 actually missing a few act 2 videos so... I suggest reading anyway haha

Interhigh!!!!

[gysgaby29]

Alfieri is whispering a lot... i think.

[pivotkid85]

i really hate school.

[282528252528]

this is high school student......?

[sso54]

y alfieri a girl?

[rebbyjm64]

she's sighing out almost all of her energy on some of her lines leaving little energy left for the line itself. unfortunate because she has talent. but this is high school so, good job even so!

[amyinponderland]

I personally didn't know if a woman playing Alferi would work, but she is such a good actor, great accent too :) Well done! xxx

[Fatiimaax]

Thanks For Diss :)

It Helped With My Exam Yesterday!

<3

[DEATHBUX]

Y DA HELL IS ALFIERI A GIRL??

[cuteinukaglover]

OMG Thank you soo much!

I was wondering if there was a play on youtube and I found it !

This is going to be very helpful for my Lit exam on tuesday! thank you ! :D

[gondola1000]

This is an intresting play, been studying it for GSCE Literature... Good acting too - just a bit confusing that Alfieri is a girl!!

[ggwk2007]

thank you kind sir, where was this filmed? like is it some high school play or...?

[DSdude3]

@ggwk2007 Valencia High School

[davesbest123]

[HenGlinz]

year of production? please,

[DSdude3]

@HenGlinz 2008

[AbithaJFormroom]

I think shes a great actress and i still like it having a woman play it but i thought that it was important to have a man playing alfieri because italian-american women weren't often in the roles of lawyers in those times..?

[taintedsoul888]

Some bits of the first monologue i found very strong, but most of it was weak.

And I can see why some people don't like him being played by a woman. Some lines just seem better when they are done loudly, with power. I would've just been bored at the end of that scene.

[BackboneAgZ]

Alfieri should be a man

[desigalx]

shes a gd actress but ur ryt alfieri has t be a guy

[Liamm002]

she did a gud job but im sorry, alfieri has to be a man. it takes too much away from the piece.

[kidpowers3]

i did great expectations b4 this it was shit lmao

[calumhogg]

Alfieri is a woman?

[RobMikk]

Originally, Alfieri is a man but some production companies may not be able to obtain a man to play the role, so they could either change the gender of the character in a play or dress up the woman as a man.

[DSdude3]

Thank you!

[SleazyB]

the actor who plays Eddie is good. the final scene is awesome.

[KeeleyMii]

I've just read it in english too =]

[kawaiiraven574]

same

[Bladethepokefreak]

I just read the play for my GSCE coursework, so I wanted to see it how it's meant to be seen. But...why is Alfieri a girl, just wondering.

[Kihoods]

did this for my coursewerk i like the brooklyn accent

[JohnnyDeppObsesser]

Hey everyone that did their eng lit exam too today, how did it go? Mine went better than expected, the questions weren't too bad - the one about the audiences response to Eddie was easy, and which question did everyone pick for the 20mrk question? I picked c. the one about Eddie and Beatrice's relationship throughout the play. Think i did ok :) x

[xThatsDifferentx]

Doing this for English Literature GCSE tomorrow too, good luck everyone!

[Muffeltasche]

SAME! good luck to you lets hope the question is good!

[lola4hartnett]

[lola4hartnett]

ugh how did you find it- i did o m and men and a view from the bridge. x

[JohnnyDeppObsesser]

the pacing thing, i notices that too!! it annoyed me so much, for god sake, did no one think to stage her performance, or was it actually intentional. it didn't even look natural either, that's the worst thing!

[DSdude3]

that is alfieri. we changed it because the cast had 2 girls in it and we had many capable ones auditioning

[macho3libre]
