碼了兩千字，覺(jué)得有用記得給視頻三連支持一下，謝謝大家?。。?Before I respond to Matt Cook's opening proposition speech, ladies and gentlemen. Can I first offer my thanks to you Mr. President for giving me this opportunity to speak on the opposition side of the motion tonight and of course more importantly on behalf of everyone in the chamber wish you a very happy 21st birthday for yesterday. All right then. This may be an odd opening section to an opposition speech because I actually almost completely agree with everything that Matt said. Kanye is a genius albeit a self-proclaimed one. He said himself I am Picasso, I'm Walt Disney, I'm Steve Jobs. He didn't give himself the name "Yeezus" for nothing, but I'm not sure that just by being one of the greatest minds of the 21st century that necessarily makes you more relevant than Shakespeare. But why is Shakespeare so relevant? For me it seems obvious, that Shakespeare's main source of relevance is his legacy to the English language. Shakespeare single-handedly coined over 1700 unique words for the English language. Addiction accommodation amazement bloodstain baseless bumps circumstantial countless cruel-hearted...to name just a few. But it isn't only words that Shakespeare showed a penchant for creating. There are countless phrases in the English language also attributed to his name. Brevity is the soul of wit, bated breath, full circle, in a pickle, knock knock! who's there? It is no shortcoming to say that Shakespeare is the undisputed father of the English language. But of course, it can be easily argued that Kanye is as avid lexicon mastermind as Shakespeare ever was. For in my opinion, the greatest of Kanye's album, contrary to Matt's belief is Graduation. In the song "Can't Tell Me Nothing", we get a hint of Kanye's revolutionary approach to word creation. Don't ever fix your lips like collagen. Say something were you gone end up apologing. Apologing. Language is a fluid and ever changing. But in terms of the volume and the share precedence of linguistic creation, Shakespeare is the undisputed father of English language. Kanye West doesn't even come a close second. As the father of the English language, Shakespeare has helped create some of the 220 000 encompassing words domicile to the English lexicon. The French language on the other hand, only has 100,000 words in its lexicon. Now it's not that the limited French vocabulary isn't as impressive as the English. More than the translation of weekend becoming le weekend, sandwich becoming le sandwich and popcorn becoming le popcorn seems a little bit characteristically lazy. It is therefore ridiculous to say that Shakespeare is more relevant than Shakespeare. It is a validation of Shakespeare's contribution to the English language every time Kanye's rap plays whether you call it rap or poetry. There is, however, one man that could be argued to be of greater relevance and I'm honored that he has joined us here tonight. I think on a motion like this it is a paramount importance to get to grips with what's being discussed. And there really is only one way of doing that and that's by looking at the text. If you bear with me, I'd like to compare Shakespeare sonnet 130 with a section of modern grime and rap. My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun coral is far more red than her lips if snow be white why then her breasts are dun I have seen roses damasked red and white but no such roses see I in her cheeks and in some perfumes is there more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks I love to hear her speak yet well I know that music hath a fair more pleasing sound I grant I never saw a goddess go, my mistress when she walks treads on the ground And yet, by heaven I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare Shakespeare's pragmatic tribute to his common mistress is a subversion of the Petrarchan sonnet prevalent in Jacobean and Elizabethan England. There is no hyperbolic praise, no obsequious language, no extrapolations of the truth. Just an honest representation of love and devotion. Shakespeare taps into the complexity of human love. Even though your partner may not be the most beautiful absolutely. To you they absolutely are and that is all that matters. Those inclined with the poetry may have noticed, for example the subtle repetitions of visual central imagery, to act as lucid portals to the verse itself and enact the experience of the poet. But those on the proposition side may argue that this is just important in modern art, for example, Stormsey shut up. Now look here for the subtle repetition: Couple man called me a backup dancer Onstage at the BRITs, I'm a backup dancer If that makes me a backup dancer that man in your vids, backup dancer that man in your pics, backup dancer Man wanna chat about backup dancer In terms of the genius and quality of the art, I really don't think that can be much comparison. Now obviously I've picked my examples very selectively but I believe it serves a wider point. This debate is about relevance, it's about longevity. The ability for art to transcend time, impact people as potently as it did when it was first created all the way to over 400 years after the artist death. Shakespeare recapitulates the very best of a cultural renaissance. I'm not so sure that Kanye West does. The argument that Shakespeare and the classics are somehow too elitist to be relevant, I must also disagree with. I grew up and still live in Stratford upon Avon, having spent all of my life so far surrounded by Shakespeare. Even as a teenager, going to the theatre and watching The Winter's Tale, for example. you don't need to understand every line, letter or illusion, that doesn't matter. What matters is the raw pain, the visceral emotion caused at the hands of corrupting jealousy. When Hermione suffers a miscarriage, often elected on stage, you don't have to be Shakespearean scholar to understand the pain. In hamlet the audience witnesses the psychological deterioration of the protagonist after the heartbreaking scenario, when your father has been killed by your uncle and then your mother has decided to marry him. Again the intricacies from the motive point of view don't matter, we've all experienced loss, family corrosion, and grief. There is no one better portraying this than Shakespeare. There are reasons these plays are still being performed and haven't been confined to the closet of history. It is because they connect and hold a mirror up to a universal human experience. They show us something that we always knew that we knew but yet never managed to realize that we knew it. Jealousy is irrational and serves no purpose other than destruction. Forgiveness is an motive equivalent of rebirth. And if you do kill your brother to marry his wife and become the king of Denmark is probably not going to end too well I would like to admit that I think the current way of many of us experienced Shakespeare, at least for the first time in our lives is often boring and mundane. Sitting in a classroom was going through line by line decoding the verse to be programmed to answer an exam question on the text. Wholeheartedly misses the point of Shakespeare and in fact drama in general. Drama and art are to be experienced not to be force fed for the sake of an exam. When anyone goes and experiences Shakespeare or any classical art with good merit. I am certain they will share this appreciation and genuinely be moved by what unfolds before then. Somehow I doubt in 400 years time, there will be an international celebration and reverence for Kanye or his contemporaries within modern art. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I implore you to vote with common sense with honesty and with a sense of pride in one of the greatest figures in our shared history. It is clear that Shakespeare is more relevant than Shakespeare and I implore you to vote on the opposition side of the motion. Thank you very much.
