I watched this version of othello in my lit class and it is still the best adaptation I've seen of the play so far. yeah he's not black but the dialogue and cinematography is on point
>>68624531
Gibson is a capable actor, but I think Alec Baldwin would have played a better Hamlet.
Start with Olivier or Branagh's Hamlet.
>>68624966
Should I read Hamlet before I watch the movie?
Throne of Blood

Coriolanus with Fiennes
Hamlet with Gibson (surprisingly good)
Hamlet with Fassbender is aesthetically tip-top

Branagh's version is the full play with subtitles. One thing to know before watching the play is its era and context. It's the 11th Century, although Branagh set his much later.
"Yorick" the Jester is a reference to the Viking kingdom of Jorvik, which had fallen at the time of Hamlet's birth. King Claudius is probably King Cnut, whose sons took over Norway, but could not hold it for long... that may be what Shakepeare is inveighing against. Hamlet sympathizes with Fortinbras in remembering Yorick, although he absolutely does not want to see Norwegians, or Yorkists rise up.
Hamlet will not succeed in his efforts however, and Hamlet's failure enables the Yorkists to stage a return during the era of the History Plays. The Lancasters will then succeed where Hamlet failed.

Feels more tragic than Branagh's, which feels too exuberant for a group of people who are about to fight to the death.
>>68625338
Ha-KINO matata
>>68626484
I thought that the point of the speech was to rouse the army and make them feel better about having to fight to the death, it works better if it's motivational and exuberant.
It's always interesting to hear different interpretations from the actors, though.
>>68626484
The speech is meant to be a rallying cry, it's meant to be exuberant to pump the blood up and get them to fight. Parker sounds like he's giving a history lecture, hardly inspiring.
>>68626156
The Chandos portrait has been highly criticized outside of the National Gallery, mate... It was owned by William Davenant, but no one knows who painted it, or when... The collar *might* support a 1605 date, but who is to say?
Look up some of the controversy associated with it.
>>68626686
That was the intention, but that element in still there in Parker's version. There's just a slightly more melancholic and serious baseline that adds weight to the sacrifice.
>>68626750
I see what you're saying. I prefer Branagh's, it's more exciting theatre and sometimes I want excitement more than thoughtful melancholy.
>>68626818
That's not always a bad thing... Not everyone sees Hamlet as legitimately depressed, he may just be an hysterical Prince.
Reminder that Shakespeare was censored:

>>68626573
>>68626711
The conspiracy theories involving Shakespeare reach into literally every corner of his life. People doubt everything about him; that doesn't make them correct. Mainstream art scholars, i.e. the people who actually study the historicity of NPG's claims, say that the portrait dates between 1600 and 1610.
>>68626859
I'm so skeptical of everything written about Shakespeare that I can't take this shit seriously. The authorship conspiracy theorists broke Shakespeare scholarship.
>>68625315
lol oops it was michael fassbender as macbeth
>>68626998
But they admit they have no idea who it's portraying, or whether it was made by John Taylor or someone else.
>>68627450
>In 2006, Tarnya Cooper of the National Portrait Gallery completed a three-and-a-half-year study of portraits purported to be of Shakespeare and concluded that the Chandos portrait was most likely a representation of Shakespeare.
>>68627377
Then you should read the addendum to the play, or Oldcastle's listing in John Foxes's Book of Martyrs.
There is also the fact that the metre is altered in Henry IV, where the name Oldcastle would make the metre complete, the name Falstaff leaves it disfigured.
>>68624966
Dear god the bongs are here. "Muh Shakespeare pronounced with every syllable in the throat like the word of the Lord himself."
Gibson's Hamlet is really Zeferrelli's Hamlet which is why, cuts notwithstanding, it is the definitive film adaptation. Brancough-cough couldn't even get the basic staging right. He screws the pooch on the Hamlet/Ophelia-Polonius spying reveal, makes a mockery of the Claudius confession, and his sword play a shit. That's the shortest list, too.
Zef's Hamlet is acted by people acting as people rather than reciters of Le Poetry. Only Richard Burton ever came as close.
>>68627570
OH, Tanya Cooper studied it for three years. Well then.
>>68627613
Zefferelli's great, and so was Burton. No production is perfect though.
Friendly reminder that this is what Shakespeare would have sounded like

Belfast and Lancaster aren't exactly oceans apart.
Henry Tudor (VII) united both houses (Lancaster and York) when he married Elizabeth of York, but this was tenuous and a one-sided effort in some respects.
This unity collapses under Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, but she experienced some backlash. Essex for example, rebels, and Shakespeare was a part of the Essex clique despite having Elizabeth's support.

A bunch of rhymes that worked in Shakespeare's day no longer work. At the end of sonnet 116:
>Within his bending sickle's compass come;
>Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
>But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
>If this be error and upon me proved,
>I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
"Come" rhymed with "doom," and "proved" rhymed with "loved."
About to marathon this. What should I expect?
>>68624769
It was good but im not a fan of shakespear-esque dialogue. can't make sense of it.
>>68630100
Hamlet by way of Black Adder... Very comedic, and obviously influenced by Monty Python and The Simpsons. Hamlet's not really suicidal, but he is megalomaniacal enough to throw himself into an act, or into a duel or two.
Which movie adaptation do you think would've been Shakespeare's favorite?
>>68624339
Romeo + Juliet is my favourite
>>68624744
Yup I thought it was really cool. I know purists probably hate it but he stuck to the original text and made it more relevant to a modern audience. I would only take issue with it if he had butchered the text.
>>68624339
Last years film adaption of Macbeth with Fassbender was really good, I'd recommend it!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Branagh is a great actor... He's one of the few who can capture the sensitivity the lines demand with the sharp wit that it requires as well. There's no definitive portrayal, but this hits the mark. A more austere or nihilistic portrayal would make him too similar to Fortinbras.
Gielgud is far more ponderous, offering up metaphors in a more trenchant way, but Branagh seems to inhabit the character from inside-out. The latter's Hamlet is stymied by his surroundings, as though he really is bounded by a nutshell... even the music seems to compress him further.

Charlton Heston plays a great Antony. I think Robert Hardy would have been perfect, but no one thought of him for the role.
Also, for sheer chemistry check out the 1974 TV version with Johnson and Suzman.

Is the bottom right on the left side supposed to be king Henry VI part III? Since Margaret has a handkerchief with the blood of Yorks son. Or is that something else
>>68630936
I believe this was the last Shakespearean production to be featured concurrently on American television, back in the mid-1970's.
Great leads, although Jane Lapotaire remains the best Cleopatra, the production she was in made her wear medieval or Elizabethan clothing. That was a good financial decision, but disastrous to the role.
>>68631132
Bruh, Othello. The entire play hinges on a handkerchief.

why doth pretend of the man's opinion that his ken of shakespearean english be of honesty?
I don't understand a word of it 2bh, it's barely even the same language as modern english
>>68631620
Shakespeare's English IS modern English. Before him is middle English, which is barely understandable, and then old English, which is basically Icelandic.
>>68627933
I hated it because it was fucking awful mate
>>68631683
It's Early Modern. Modern English begins about 150 years later.
Cleopatra is considered to be Shakespeare's greatest female role. I'd argue its Cressida, but whatever.
Cleo has reason to be jealous of Antony's wife Fulvia, since she practically runs the streets of Rome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-VWNul82w0&list=PL2C18E2DEA60C00D0
>>68631683
People say that but his grammatical constructions are barely recognisable. And the change in pronunciation mean none of his brilliant rhymes actually rhyme.
It's very early modern English, and obviously requires some serious language study to understand. I still don't
>>68624954
The first series was pretty good
Henry IV Part II was a bit weaker than the previous two parts though.
>>68631797
Early modern English is a period of modern English. That's like saying "he's not British, he's English." Same shit
>>68628833
Fuck knows why we have three leopards' heads
>>68631812
All it requires is an understanding of poetic verse and its structure, not knowledge of 16th century English. The King James Bible is much easier to understand despite being written around the same time because it's written in understandable prose. Shakespeare was hard to understand to his contemporaries; the intro to the first folio basically says that if the reader doesn't like him he probably just doesn't understand him.
Shakespeare is super dense linguistically, which makes him difficult to read, but that has little to do with the fact that he wrote hundreds of years ago.
>>68631904
It's really not. It's a distinct stage of the evolution of English where the dialects of Middle English had mostly become one due to the advent of the printing press and it was further on its way from a synthetic to an analytic language and it became one overall recognisable language, but there was still little consistency in orthography throughout the country, pronoun useage could still be variable and there was an influx of new words in the period, and that overall is what differentiates it from Modern English.
They're two distinct periods of English language history and to deny it makes me think you're doing it on name alone.

William Shakespeare could not, unaided, have produced the immortal writings bearing his name.
He did not possess the necessary literary culture, for the town of Stratford where he was reared contained no school capable of imparting the higher forms of learning reflected in the writings ascribed to him. His parents were illiterate, and in his early life he evinced a total disregard for study. There are in existence but six known examples of Shakspere's handwriting. All are signatures, and three of them are in his will. The scrawling, uncertain method of their execution stamps Shakspere as unfamiliar with the use of a pen, and it is obvious either that he copied a signature prepared for him or that his hand was guided while he wrote. No autograph manuscripts of the "Shakespearian" plays or sonnets have been discovered, nor is there even a tradition concerning them other than the fantastic and impossible statement appearing in the foreword of the Great Folio.
Shakspere's daughters were illiterate. His daughter Judith, at the age of 27, could not even sign her name.
If this guy wrote the plays bearing his name how would he have permitted his own daughter to reach womanhood and marry without being able to read one line of the writings that made her father wealthy and locally famous? It makes no sense.
>>68632658
>If this guy wrote the plays bearing his name how would he have permitted his own daughter to reach womanhood and marry without being able to read one line of the writings that made her father wealthy and locally famous?
She was a woman. What use was it for her to read?
>>68632182
English didn't become orthographically consistent until the early 19th century. What distinguishes the evolution from 16th century to 17th century English from the evolution from 17 to 21st century English is nebulous. There are arguments to be made that larger shifts in the language occurred during the latter period, yet we refer to all of it as "modern English." And, while this is obviously subjective, Milton and Donne are easier to understand to me than Blake and American's founding fathers are.

>He did not possess the necessary literary culture
Yes, because the great writers of today all come from upper class families? Shakespeare went to a grammar school that taught Greek and Latin, and his father was a respectable middle class artisan. He wasn't a pleb.
>The scrawling, uncertain method of their execution stamps Shakspere as unfamiliar with the use of a pen,
Look at Nick Cave's ugly handwriting.
>No autograph manuscripts of the "Shakespearian" plays or sonnets have been discovered,
No manuscripts are available for the vast majority of literary works from the time, especially not from theater works, which was considered a lesser medium.
>nor is there even a tradition concerning them other than the fantastic and impossible statement appearing in the foreword of the Great Folio.
What the fuck does that even mean? There are prime references to Shakespeare being performed at the time.
>Shakspere's daughters were illiterate.
Says more about how they valued women in the 17th century than anything else.

The BBC series in the 80s are really good adaptations.

The recent adaption is laughable. It's so self-consciously edgy and over-stylized. It's basically Zack Snyder's Macbeth.
>>68642584
>stylization is bad
shit meme
>>68642656
Everything has a style, it's just that the particular style deployed in Macbeth was juvenile and pretentious.
>>68642862
Lovely argument considering that it's neither juvenile and even less pretentious. Seems that you're just not sophisticated enough to deal with the film, friend.
>>68630100
>What should I expect?
Billy Crystal and Jack Lemmon in bizarre casting choices.
Not gonna read the whole thread but BBC Shakespeare collection is pretty good, Derek Jacobi is a great Hamlet
>>68643056
Sophisticated? It's one of the most middle brow Shakespeare adaptations since Baz Luhrmann shat out his Romeo and Juliet
>>68643501
Oh, of course you don't like R+J too! What a guy
>>68643604
Only one film version of Romeo and Juliet worth watching

You're on a pleb board filled with plebs that don't know anything before 1990 exists.

Why don't you stay on your containment site? I've never understood why you redditors come here, it would be like blacks going to a Klan rally and then complaining they aren't enjoying it before going back time and time again.

>ho my longsword
pure kino
>>68645674
This has gotta be bait. Have you even seen anything with Olivier in it?
>>68624339
Branagh's Henry V
>>68645674
I would rather watch the worst movie from the 1970s than Avatar or Batman and Superman or whatever the fuck. If you even like any movie made after 1999 you're a fucking idiot.
>>68646365
Oh, my this board is fantastic. You and him are literally the same shit with your stupid dogmas.

Nice meme
>>68649198
Thanks brosephine. But really, it's more of an historical fact than a meme.
>>68649295
every serious scholar considers it a fringe theory
>>68649639
Most serious scholars consider 9/11 to have been perpetrated by middle easterners and also believe the moon landing happened.
>>68649706
There were multiple moon landings
>>68649726
Of course, and Shakespeare wrote multiple plays ;-)
>>68649706
Both of which are true. Again, nice memes.
>>68649834
Is "nice memes" a thought stopper for you? Is it supposed to work on others too? Because it isn't an argument and you aren't making any sense.
>>68649892
Because you've presented so many intelligent, well-articulated arguments to support your conspiratorial bullshit.
