Shakespeare Fan

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2019)

It amazes me how other reviewers even bothered to write a review and gave this a one star rating, when their understanding of cinematography, acting is obviously limited and their appreciation of Shakespeare nil.
To think they expected an action packed Hollywood action film with modern language would be developed from Shakespeare is like turning Thomas the Tank Engine into Thomas Pink Convertable. Of course this could be done in Hollywood, but it would be a comedy.
This is a 'tragedy' and once that's realised, the mood of the play will be understood.
I have never had a problem with understanding Shakespeare and have always appreciated and found it challenging to read into its meaning.
The movie is fabulous and should be looked at what it represents and for what it is and not for what people think it should be.
Others have appreciated it and if there were problems with understanding, they turned on the subtitles... even then you will need to read deeper to understand their words in modern English.
The acting is superb, cinematography excellent.
Well worth the watch and if not familiar with the play, just read up on this tragedy first, as you will then appreciate this movie. Well done.
