    I specially read the original work, and I am fully psychologically prepared, but it is still very awkward with the modern background and the original lines. The audience laughs frequently...too much pursuit of the tension of the stage drama, a bit self-defeating, after all, not every audience They are all Shakespeare fans...but as a director’s debut, the mirroring and interpretation are still...

    This kind of Shakespeare’s form is completely acceptable, but there is still a feeling of overhead, especially the well-rounded lines in key paragraphs, over-stage performances, and regular expressions in the narrative part. The sense of drop. Fortunately, the performances of several major actors have found a certain connection in it, and they will not lose control too...

    Can there be such a dialogue interpretation, do you still care about the plot and the passage of the...

    The lines and themes are copied from Shakespeare, and the actor's stage fan is also very pleasing, but the setting of the modern warfare background seems to overhead the sense of reality, turning this story into a castle in the sky, as if a distant thing. The financial constraints have also disappeared from the large number of action scenes in Shakespeare's original works. We only saw the scars and inner struggles of the characters. Fortunately, the actor's skill can withstand the test of...

    The movie itself has four stars. Shakespeare added another star. Ralph Fiennes is a better director than I had imagined him to be. And how sincere, humble and cute he was when he came to Q&A, it's extra...

    The drama of the war between the two races is wonderful and enjoyable, and it is also in line with the setting of a large number of war dramas in the original book. The political drama is hailed as a modern meaning, which brings the film to a higher level. Fiennes' performance is still the kind of introverted arrogance, which makes people unbearable to applaud when he is unruly. In addition, several supporting roles such as his mother Vanessa Redgrave are also extremely powerful. The film cost...

    One with two sides

    Because I saw Dou Sen's theatrical version, I looked for the movie version of Uncle Ra. The movie version is very novel and set in the modern era, but the characters are still Shakespeare's lines. But this is not the biggest difference between the two.

    I think that the two versions have two sides...

    Simplicity is not simple

    With the rapid development of movies at home and abroad, the screenwriters have also expressed that: less money, heavy responsibility, tight time, and pressure (personal guess). In fact, this is also a natural result. The audience's taste has improved, and the audience has become more and more...

Coriolanus quotes

  • [first lines]

    Second Citizen: Before we proceed any further, hear me speak. You are all resolved rather to die than to famish?

    Gathered Citizens: [in unison] Resolved.

    Second Citizen: First, you know Caius Martius is chief enemy to the people.

    Gathered Citizens: We know it.

    First Citizen: Let us kill him. And we'll have corn at our own price.

    Second Citizen: We are accounted poor citizens, the patricians of good. The leanness that afflicts us, the object of our misery, our suffering, is a gain to them.

    Gathered Citizens: Aye.

    Second Citizen: Let us revenge this with our sticks, ere we become rakes.

    First Citizen: No more talking on it. Come!

  • Caius Martius Coriolanus: He that will give good words to thee will flatter beneath abhorring. What would you have, you curs that like nor peace nor war? The one affrights you, the other makes you proud. He that trusts to you where he should find you lions, finds you hares; where foxes, geese. Who deserves greatness, deserves your hate.
