Christopher Marlowe: The Movie

A video I made using different movie and video game clips to make a "commercial" about Christopher Marlowe.

This was only a high school project guys, so there's bound to be some mistakes about Marlowe's history. I was supposed to create a fake movie trailer about the gist of Marlowe's life using various movie clips I could find.

horrendous. The music is not from Marlowe's era. There is nothing even slightly Marlowian about this.

terrible

The assignment was to take clips from various movies and try to make some sort of fake movie trailer about a famous playwright's life using them. The assignment didn't require any music from that era.

This was only a high school project so my info was not all that accurate since his story was a minor part of the project.

This makes me laugh. Apparently Christopher Marlowe = Harry Potter? Except when he's Anakin Skywalker or some videogame guy?

By the way, I don't know if this was artistic license or not, but Marlowe never started a fight about food. Assuming that Frizer was telling the truth (unlikely) the fight was about the bill, not the food itself.

I'm glad this made you laugh.

This was a high school assignment. I had to take clips from different movies and try to make a trailer out of it. So yes, Marlowe is Harry, Anakin, and then Squall from Final Fantasy VIII.

Well "Started a fight about food" was referring to the bill of the food.

I was wondering - what made you choose Marlowe for the assignment? I am very interested in Marlowe - are you a fan as well, or were you assigned him, or was it random selection, or what?

Well, our group's assignment was to make a fake news broadcast of the Elizabethan time period. In that assignment, we had to report on some artists during the time. I researched artists until I found Marlowe, while another friend obviously chose Shakespeare. As I researched him, I found him to be very interesting and I grew a liking to him. So to answer your question: I chose to use Marlowe for my assignment because I liked him.

I have yet to read his works, but I plan to one of these days.

Very cool. I used to teach Marlowe (or try) to freshman comp. students. I would've loved this; sure it's somewhat inaccurate, but you're not making a documentary, after all. Makes me wan to see the full-length film.

Great Job, well done!!

It's SUPPOSED to be funny. And if you were such an expert, you would know that the adjective is MARLOVIAN, not "Marlowian". Please don't randomly insult things.

Aww come on, I think this trailer's portrayal of Marlowe is close enough. Look at the commonality between the protagonists of each text: Harry Potter, Anakin Skywalker, Phantom of the Opera, Squall --- they're all solitary, taciturn, mysterious figures with some kind of involvement in violence, mischief, and the government (maybe not the phantom),

Four stars from me!
