    Personally, I think the adaptation is not good. The modern background, coupled with Shakespeare's classic dialogue, is not very good! "Ah, xx!...

    People who don't understand the ancient Roman system and history will definitely not understand the essence of this film. Fiennes was able to seamlessly transplant Shakespeare's golden sentences and ancient Roman legends into today's era. In addition to telling the familiar stories of loyalty and betrayal and cherishing heroes, he also explored the history of the political system for thousands of years. Dilemma between democracy and autocracy. But what impresses me the most is the gesture and...

    The world in the eyes of the noble

    Coriolanus seemed to use a noble perspective to examine fate. Of course, the protagonist Matthews was used as a stand-in for experiencing all this.
    In the eyes of the aristocratic people, more than 90% of the people in the world are fools, and their opinions are worthless to them, which is very...

Coriolanus quotes

  • Volumnia: Do as thou like! Thy valiantness was mine, thou suck'st it from me. But owe thy pride thyself!

  • Tullus Aufidius: What's thy name?

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: A name unmusical to the Volscians' ears, and harsh in sound to thine.

    Tullus Aufidius: Say... what's thy name? Thou has a grim appearance. What's thy name?

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: [taking a step forward] Know'st thou me yet?

    Tullus Aufidius: I know thee not. Thy name?

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: My name is Caius Martius, who hath done to thee particularly, and to all the Volsces, great hurt and mischief. Thereto witness my surname... Coriolanus. Only that name remains. The cruelty and envy of the people who have all forsook me, hath devoured the rest and suffered me by the voice of slaves, be whooped out of Rome. Now this extremity hath brought me to thy hearth. Not out of hope, mistake me not to save my life. For if I had feared death, of all men in the world I would have avoided thee. But, in mere spite, to be full quit of those my banishers, stand I before thee here. I will fight against my cankered country with the spleen of all the under fiends. But if thou dares not this, then I present my throat to thee and to thy ancient malice. Which not to cut would show thee but a fool, since I have ever followed thee with hate, and cannot live but to thy shame, unless it be to do thee service.
