  • "Richard III" is a drama, war film directed by Richard Loncraine, starring Ian McKellen, Annette Bening, etc. The film was released on August 20, 1995.
    The film is based on William Shakespeare 's famous play "Richard III", but the film changes the time background of the story from 1483-1485 in the original book to 1930. Transplanting William Shakespeare's plays to other eras is something filmmakers often do, but it doesn't always work well. It is commendable that this version of "Richard III" not only adapts the play with Ruizhe's intelligence, but also injects modern vitality into the play without destroying the beautiful words of William Shakespeare .

      Richard III

      Shakespeare's play "Richard III" depicts him as a lame, hunchbacked king, with a distorted face and an evil heart, who even killed his brother's two sons in order to successfully ascend the throne. In Shakespeare's writings, Richard III "was born with a deformed appearance, not suitable for flirting and flirting?? He had to make up his mind to confess himself as a gangster", and was an evil conspirator and usurper tyrant. But whether Richard III killed his brother's son for the throne has...

      Game room.

      This version sets a modern alternate kingdom based on the background of Shakespeare's original. Shortly in the film's opening, tanks blast through the walls of Henry VI's strategic front, and bullets penetrate the forehead of Henry VI's son Edward. Taking off the gas mask, it was Richard's evil smile. The integration of modern weapon elements into Shakespeare's story strikes me as abrupt yet reasonable. Under this kind of visual impact, as a modern person, compared to the...

      The protagonists are all big names, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, blind. The screenwriter is also Grandpa Ian. It looks more like a stage play. But why did the British always set the background of Shakespeare in World War I and World War II, neither moving forward nor backward playing modernity, which is a little...

      Grandpa Ian did a good job~ I made up this drama because I heard that Benedict and Martin will play this role one after another... Is it really possible... Especially Martin, who has to act on stage! Besides, if you two can't play each other, you have to play the same role, what's the point of making...

      Too bad, the dialogue is too unnatural... = = And Ian always feels a natural righteousness, and the acting is not evil enough ((The plot is too ridiculous, the costumes are also messed up, the background of World War II is like a label. But I am really It's so stupid, hahaha, the British accent is completely another person!! Chop the rice for me and add one star...

      The reason why the remake of Shakespeare is enduring is because all the tragedies are included in it, and the charm of this version is that it was born in the United Kingdom and then squatted in the United Kingdom, combining a non-existent dictatorship history with the actual war years. There are more profound meanings beyond the story itself, but this version is also in classical Chinese. It seems that Shakespeare's texts are all drama bibles. It is easy to dare not say a sentence, but it is...
