The Tempest

Post by Usivius »

Anyone seen the trailer for Julie Taymor's version of Shakespear's "The Tempest"... wow! 8O

I wet myself with giddy, movie-loving joy...

can't wait!

It looks nice.
But I worry about being disappointed.
It's hard to judge acting from snippets, but it looks ok...
But then I remember the Ethan Hawke "Hamlet" and the DiCaprio "R+J"
Great updating/concept ideas, pure failure as film because of about 1 1/2 decent actors each [none of which were the main characters].

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Well, I really liked 'Titus'. But I am not sure yet about 'The Tempest' after watching this trailer. The tone of it, I dunno...
