      Coriolanus

      Coriolanus is an adaptation of Shakespeare. The original took place in ancient Roman times. The general Coriolanus had many exploits, but was exiled because of his stubborn temper. Coriolanus struggled with his past enemies to attack the Roman Empire, and he was finally persuaded by his mother to sacrifice his life. The movie version moved the background to the modern Iraqi battlefield, and "Voldemort" also transformed into the general Coriolanus.
      It's no accident that Ralph Fiennes chose...

      some messy thoughts

      I watched the movie and read a lot of comments. From a political point of view, water can carry a boat and it can also capsize. From a behavioral point of view, it reflects the contradiction between the individual and the whole. Does the individual have any value apart from the whole? Where does it manifest? On the surface, Matthews fought for Rome, but in fact he only fought for his own beliefs, but he compromised step by step because of the pressure of his mother, but it cannot be said that...

      Shakespeare's Iraq War

      Coriolanus is an adaptation of Shakespeare. In this film, we can see a number of famous actors from the British Academy, all of them work together to put Shakespeare's masterpieces on the big screen, using the urban background of Baghdad during the Iraq War. On the one hand, this move shows the respect of British actors to British drama masters, and on the other hand, it also shows that the political metaphors in Shakespeare's masterpieces still have practical guiding significance even if they...

      Famous novels can't afford the cost of crossing

      As someone who hasn't read Shakespeare's original work and didn't know much about the history of ancient Rome, watching this film is like accepting the challenge. Maybe I don't understand the essence of art, but such a crossover is obviously too far-fetched.
          The film uses lines from Shakespeare's original book intact as the film's dialogue, which makes every character in the film into an orator or even a poet. Whether it's chatting at a dinner party or being on the front lines of a...

      I don’t have deep attainments, I have seen the classics but I can’t understand them

      If you like Voldemort, if you like Sparta, then you can watch this movie, if you like Shakespeare you can also watch this movie, if you don't have the DVD version or don't have a good English foundation, then don't watch it, otherwise I can't understand it at all, just like I saw it was a classic, but I still can't understand it, the lines ruined me, it's not bad or I don't understand it at all, I'm depressed, but the protagonist's performance is brilliant, when I was exiled, I wanted to rush...

      Three and a half. No matter how you see Shakespeare's lines in a modern context, your whole body is twisted. Talking normally can save at least half an hour. The first half of the movie can be said to be a good media textbook, suitable for people who are easily incited, including...

      Turning into a movie version of Shakespeare in a suit is really too hard, too stage play. Original dialogue,...

      A person's character is like two sides of a coin. There is a good side and a bad side. Coriolanus is brave, arrogant, stubborn, mighty, and unyielding. He has achieved unimaginable feats, but he has also become a senate. Victims of the power...

    Evaluation action

    The costumes, art, and scenes that are full of warfare in the 21st century are all excellent, and there are few ambient scenes in this film. Most of the photography is aimed at the performance of the actors. This is probably due to the origin of Fiennes actor. A large portion of the original William Shakespeare dialogue in the mouths of old dramatists such as Fiennes, Vanessa Radcliffe, and Bran Cox is a pleasure.
    The film’s plot...
