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 compromising with his mother was not his choice, perhaps it was also part of his beliefs. It is because of the contradictory heart and instability, doomed to the tragedy in the future.

    The war between Voldemort and Sparta, the ending is really a bit emotional... Ralph Fiennes directed and acted himself, the lines used Shakespeare’s original dialogue, although novel, but still a bit awkward~

    Shakespeare looks good, and there are ideas for adaptation

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.
