    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...

    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...

    castle in the sky

    Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut "Criolanus" is destined to be a rigid Shakespeare adaptation from the first subtitle "The story takes place in a place that calls itself Rome". Although Shakespeare's play was moved to the modern age, Fiennes had a good intention of borrowing from the past to...

Coriolanus quotes

  • [last lines]

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: I am returned your soldier, no more infected with my country's love than when I parted hence, but still subsisting under your great command. We have made peace with no less honor to the Volscians than shame to the Romans.

    Tullus Aufidius: Tell the traitor, in the highest degree, he hath abused your powers.

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Traitor? How now?

    Tullus Aufidius: Aye, traitor, Martius.

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Martius?

    Tullus Aufidius: Aye, Martius. Caius Martius. Dost thou think I'll grace thee with that robbery, thy stolen name Corioloanus?

    [to his soldiers]

    Tullus Aufidius: Perfidiously he hath betrayed your business and given up, for certain drops of salt, your city, Rome. I say "your city", for his wife and mother, breaking his oath and resolution like a twist of rotten silk. Never admitting counsel of the war, but at his nurse's tears, he whined and roared away your victory.

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Hear'st thou, Mars?

    Tullus Aufidius: Name not the god, thou boy of tears.

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Measureless liar, thou has made my heart too great for what contains it. "Boy"? O slave. Cut me to pieces, Volsces! Men and lads, stain all your edges on me! "Boy"? If you have writ your annals true, 'tis there that, like an eagle in a dovecote, I fluttered your Volscians in Corioles. Alone I did it. "Boy".

    Tullus Aufidius: [to his soldiers] Let him die for it.

  • Menenius: [taking Coriolanus to meet the commoners] Have you not known the worthiest men have done it?

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Custom calls me to it. What custom wills, in all things should we do it. What must I say? "Look, sir, my wounds. I got them in my country's service."

    Menenius: O me, the gods! You must not speak like that. You must desire them to think upon you.

    Caius Martius Coriolanus: Think upon me? Hang 'em. I would they would forget me.
