    sigh no more 2010-04-25

    I accidentally found the movie Much Ado About Nothing that I only watched at the end but never forgets it on the Internet. When I revisited it, I remembered the opening sigh no more

    Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more,
    Men were deceivers ever,
    One foot in sea and one on shore,
    To one thing constant...

    Do nothing

    The opening is cheerful and grand. The whole adaptation not only respects the ancient meaning of the original, but also has modern elements to add to the icing on the cake. I am ashamed that Shakespeare’s works were only read through the library when he was studying the history of foreign...

    If there is any contemporary filmmaker who can make you fall in love with Shakespeare, it must be Kenneth Branagh. His excellent adaptation of Shakespeare is truly unmatched. The scene where seven knights came galloping in at the opening, raising their fists at once was really high!

    The current British film industry really does not have the best person to interpret Shakespeare's works than Kenneth Branagh. He deserves to be Lawrence Oliver's successor, and Ralph Fiennes can only stand aside. This film is a model of a successful adaptation of Shakespeare’s work. The dense Shakespeare’s lines are full of humor, and Branagh’s performance is very good~

Much Ado About Nothing quotes

  • Ursula: Madam!

    Benedick: Here comes one in haste.

    Ursula: You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home. It is proved my lady Hero hath been falsely accused, the prince and Claudio mightily abused and Don John is the author of all, who is fled and gone. Will you come, presently?

    Beatrice: Will you go hear this news, signior?

    Benedick: I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes, and moreover I will go with thee to thy uncle's.

    Beatrice: [laughs]

  • Leonato: Are you yet determined to marry with my brother's daughter?

    [Claudio nods]

    Leonato: Call her forth, brother. Here's the friar ready.

    [Four veiled ladies are presented]

    Claudio: Which is the lady I must seize upon?

    Antonio: [Brings forth one lady] This same is she and I do give you her.

    Claudio: Sweet, let me see your face.

    Leonato: No, that you shall not till you take her hand before this friar and swear to marry her.

    Claudio: [Kneels] Give me your hand, before this holy friar. I am your husband if you like of me.

    Hero: [Removes veil]

    Don Pedro: Hero that is dead.

    Leonato: She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived.

    Hero: And when I lived, I was your other wife. And when you loved you were my other husband. One Hero died defiled, but I do live and surely as I live, I am a maid.
