    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...

    Dangerous aesthetics

    I watched the movie "Coriolanus" starring Ralph Fiennes in my freshman year. I really didn’t understand the slurred Shakespearean dialogue. After watching for half an hour, I finally gave up. After that, I found it out several times. Keep watching. It may also be because of too young age. Even in...

    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

  • 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.

  • Tullus Aufidius: Our virtues lie in the interpretation of the time. One fire drives out one fire. One nail, one nail. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. When, Caius, Rome is thine, thou art poorest of all. Then shortly art thou mine.
