Dostoevsky's The Idiot

[vtyhw]

Had this on my answer machine for years!

[Hypatia1951]

Except Solzhenitzyn was a political prisoner, and Dostoevsky was a deadbeat.

[nazisucksass]

what is the piece that is playing in the background?

[thomthum2000]

Is it wrong of me to think that the main character of the story looks delicious enough to eat?

The Lobster was my favorite part about this book

[MrAmc93]

myshkin became relaxed only after he recovered from the initial shock of finding her body in the dark. rogozhin, though teetering between madness and sanity, also tried to calm myshkin. then myshkin's kindly nature took over and he began to comfort rogozhin.

I have just finished Dostoevsky's 'Crime and punishment'. I have somehow the impression, that all the characters there are idiots.

Can someone from England please tell me where the person who speaks in this video would be from in England? ... he has a special twang in certain words which is interesting.

Oh yes, the world can be reduced to beer cans and vomit on the couch . . .

How dare someone strive for intellectualism of some noteworthy caliber----

We all need humorists to put us in our place---isn't so?

20 years of work on a novel stands no comparison to a childish buffoon using a yahoo account.

A nice track from a really funny album -- check out some of the talent involved in the making of Gold Turkey. I think Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel) was the English-sounding narrator. Thanks for posting this.

[MuddyTonic]

loooooool

Can anyone tell me why Myshkin was so relaxed when seeing Natasya's dead body? I just can't see how his illness would have let him remain so incredibly calm after that trauma.

I love this guy's voice. It is just the epitome of high class.

[ParacelsusXXXHadas]

Is this some kind of a satirical comedy that's supposed to make people sheer guffaw?

Hm.

"Shallow" minded indeed.

[AkakiAkakiovich]

Lobsters, yeesh.

[FeynmanFan]

The lobster was not the idiot, but merely a prawn in someone else's game.

[blueoystercult22]

One of my favourite NatLamp radio bits.

[Dumplingmaster]

as wordsworth once observed'trust ye not the lobster with teeth that grind the soul of man betwixt it's deuce like mandibles,for irksome and dubious it's mortal lot akin to Cerberus' chiming heart and onc e the lobster is freed then all shall doomed be'

[theautodidakt1]

national lampoon is impeccable

[tedlicious]

so . . . the lobster was an idiot? Or maybe the people that created the lobster, or let it out of its pen? This does not seem like a classic at all. I am pretty sure that I saw this movie on late night cable in the 80's. They kill the lobster with gamma rays.

[quickford]

Hahahaha...oh man they used to play that clip (just the Bill Murray part) on the local radio station sometimes and it always cracks me up...couldn't find it anywhere else but I found it on Youtube, of course.
