In Reply to: Shakespeare -now in glorious 2-D ! posted by Bambi B on June 5, 2005 at 08:27:30:
Hello Bambi B,First let me thank you for your long and detailed answer!
Let me give a few thoughts.Merle Oberon was a beautiful woman from India. But I am not very fond of her acting, in fact I am quite certain she could...not.
But her beauty shine...Richard III, well this film disturb me a little, it was fascinating in a way transposed in this post modern setting, but it was very loud ( I know WS IS ) and some parts well a little beyond my taste, for the rest I see it the way you do.
Branagh´s film "Much Ado about Nothing " is not that bad, no I do find it quite enjoyable, in fact.
As his portrait of " Shackelton" was also a good job.As for Gibson, I through with him. He is just too lousy.
Salut d´Allemagne!

Oy Patrick!Shakespeare on film seems to always bring out extreme opinions and I think it's more difficult for those for those of us with English as a second language as the meter and archaic vocabulary is another level. Even a native English speaker speaking Shakespeare without knowing what they're doing, it turns to incompregensible mud.
I know a few words of French, Russian, and German- but only enough to realize how much I'm missing in some of my favourite movies.
Branaugh: I really can't tolerate his Shakespeare, but I agree "Shackleton" was excellent and the best work by far I've seen with him.
Gibson: He should stay with Road Warrior stuff and leave the classics to professional actors.
Maintenant, nous avons pour attendre seulement pendant quelque temps et nous aurons la "Hamlet" de Arnie Schwarzenegger: "Oh, dat dis twoo twoo solwid fwesh vould bee melting."
Salut d'Etat Unis!

Bonne soirée Bam!In fact if I read WS, I mean the old English version of course, I see the very " facteur commun " between this language and the French as it was at this time too.
Many similitudes and common way.But still the " music " is some times hard to catch, I must conceid for a non-native.
Branagh: I would say that he could not destroy the spirit ( for me ) of WS in his " Much Ado..." I felt the joy shining through, and the perfect setting in Italy like a ray of sunshine.
On " Shackelton " there is nothing to argue, it is just excellent.
For God´s sake! Don´t defy the almighty, Arnie as Iago, that would be " La fin du monde "
Bonne journée,
PatrickPS: Maybe the only way to really see WS in on the " planches du theatre " and nowhere else, came just to my mind.
Just buying a ticket for the "old Vic " and turn the time back to anno 1920 / 1968...
