Al Pacino Looking For Richard 1996 PART 2

Looking for Richard is a 1996 documentary film and the first film directed by Al Pacino. It is both a performance of selected scenes of William Shakespeare's Richard III and a broader examination of Shakespeare's continuing role and relevance in popular culture. The film was featured at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1996[1] and it was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.[2]
Pacino plays both himself and the title character. Famous commercials have been aired on AFN regarding Richards whereabouts. The movie guides the audience through the play's plot and historical background.[3] Pacino and several fellow actors, including Penelope Allen and Harris Yulin,[4] act out scenes from the play.[5]

In addition, the actors comment on their roles. Pacino also features other actors famous for performing Shakespeare, such as Vanessa Redgrave, Kenneth Branagh, John Gielgud, Derek Jacobi, James Earl Jones, and Kevin Kline.[6] Pacino includes interviews with Shakespeare scholars and ordinary people on the street.

This part has one thing done wrong, Shkespeare introduced irony in the form that G could just as well be George Clarence as it can also be Richard duke of Gloucester, thus changing it to C would rip this rather cool touch Shakespeare introduced in the original play.
