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 haunted battlefield, everyone can utter biblically graceful and emotional verses. It is not power or magic that defeats the enemy and conquers the people, but language! I have to marvel at the charm of Shakespeare. However, this is a movie, a modern movie, not a stage play. I can't stand such a tirade of provocative lines, being told in a hurry. The more I look back, the more and more the sense of chaos becomes, which proves that I can't adapt to this kind of crossing.
With a few speeches in the busy city, the people supported him as the king; when he turned around, it took about a few seconds for the king's opponents to raise a few questions, and the people instantly stepped on the king, turning him into a castaway. What an absurd farce with the cursed demon...if this is in Shakespeare's stage play, ok! I think everyone can understand, because we don't know how much power religious beliefs have in influencing people's thoughts in the distant era, maybe it can really change people's decisions with a few words, maybe. But this is a story that happened in modern times. Everyone is rational and has logical thinking. It is not something that can be persuaded in just a few words. Is it because the audience is too stupid or the director is too crazy?
If it shows the acting skills of the stars, it is worth seeing here. Especially the familiar "Voldemort", from the devil of the world to the war madman, his hands and face never lacked the blood of the enemy; his eyes and body never lacked traces of killing.

    Can there be such a dialogue interpretation, do you still care about the plot and the passage of the fart?

Coriolanus quotes

  • Menenius: I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying water in it. One that converses more with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning. What I think I utter, and spend my malice in my breath.

  • Caius Martius Coriolanus: [shouting agitated] By Jove himself, it makes the consuls base, and my soul aches to know when two authorities are up, neither supreme, how soon confusion may enter twixt the gap of both and take the one by the other. Thus we debase the nature of our seats and make the rabble call our cares fears, which will, in time, break open the locks of the senate, and bring in the crows to peck the eagles!
