Brilliant Merging of Shakespeare and a modern wartime

Rating: 7/10 (27 September 2015)

Hearing the poetic portrayal of medieval war laid over a stark portrayal of modern war was fascinating. Remove the trappings, costumes and swashbuckler weaponry and we are left with a story of modern oppression, elite privilege while warfare strikes both.
Do the lyrics move us the same as with medieval settings? Are the heroes, heroines and villains of the traditional play viewed with the same reactions?
I give it a 7 because it is a good movie, but one which appeals to limited audiences, which has nothing to do with intelligence but preferences. You must be at least neutral regarding anything Shakespeare to possibly enjoy this.
