What is the best shakespeare adaption?
What is the best shakespeare adaption?
Throne of Blood is better.
Branagh's Hamlet
This would be my answer but I'm biased because Hamlet is my favorite play. Throne of Blood and Henry V are also top tier.
Hamlet 2: taking back new York
You're as gay as the day is long
some version of richard the 3rd
>he doesn't like how hamlet 2 ties up loose ends
>probably doesn't like Macbeth arc in Macbeth 3-5 where Macbeth befriends the druids of the wood to defend ydrasil from napoleon
>probably doesn't even direct highschool renditions of Shakespeare's works and records each showing on vhs and then sends them all to James cameron
Pleb
I admittadley get annoyed by Shakespeare. Seems like endless speeches with made up words.
It was wonderfully directed.
How was the Fassbender Macbeth?
>Fassbender
I barely know her!
Hamlet 2 is actually a movie. I'm not sure if autismo is causing me to miss a joke here.
Don't act like it wasn't fun

pls no bully
>best character is turned into a niggerfaggot
Other than that it was surprisingly good.
Hamlet 2 is great too

I work at a cafe and I start reciting this speech every Sunday morning before the after church rush.
Do you have any pics of Jennifer Jason Leigh's feet?
Better than most, except he duel wields swords at one point which is infuriating
It's not a straight adaptation, but it's kind of better that way. It's half a documentary / half various scenes filmed. I'm not sure if Al Pacino is a great director, but this is a good movie.
not fantastic as a shakespeare, but it had fantastic cinematography
Why is this such a popular question?
patrician taste, user

>tfw crispin and crispian were unsainted for not being real people
Thanks fellas
Branagh and Olivier all deliver the best shakespeare adaptations.
Branaghs Henry the fifth is better than Olivier's, as is Branaghs Hamlet but all the other Olivier films are top notch.
Polanski's Macbeth is fucking brilliant with the recent version with Fassbender and Cotilard being really great as well.
Coriolanus is the only time LITERALLY the only time a play reimagined to a contemporary setting has worked, and damn did it work fucking well. Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler gave the performances of their careers.
the 60's Romeo and Juliet is fucking fantastic.
The direct tellings are great and all, but in the end West Side Story is the best film adaptation of a shakespeare play.
>theres a place for us
>someday a place for us
>take my hand and we're halfway there
>hold my hand and i'll take you there
perfection
forbidden planet.
How was Olivier's King Lear?
I liked the diorama quality of this adaptation, it demonstrates the right kind of staginess for me. It's the perfect thing for a rainy Sunday beside a fireplace and it has some of the funniest side characters. It's not really an Ancient or a Gothic interpretation, it feels like it could be happening on a farm.
Also, please recommend the best Antony & Cleopatra.
Definitely Tromeo and Juliet.
>those not-Bill Murray theeads in /lit/ about Shakespeare
wev lads.
Go down the rabbit hole at your own risk

>that four-hour version with intermission
Sublime.
Jacobi's Hamlet was better
chimes at midnight
It was gorgeous, there were some martial arts errors from him but the rest is incredible.
The cinematography was breath-taking.
I love that one, put my favorite will always be Henry V
>LITERALLY the only time
you sure?
the only correct choice
I wouldn't claim it's the best one, but it's often overlooked
My boy Ralph is great in it
Throne of Blood
Polanski for sure
Yeah, underrated movie based on one of Shakespeare's most underrated plays
Shit he was terrifying in this, made me finally understand the point of Shakespeare. I never really got
>You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate!
Until Ralphy fucking exploded it from his mouth
This one, in fact.
What did he mean by this?
Charlton Heston did a good Mark Antony in the 70s. The rest of the movie was kind of miscast though, Brutus was pretty bad.
Got to be bait.
Branagh surrounds himself with the best supporting cast ever, then plays the lead like a hyperactive toddler.
Half the time he just recites his lines as if he's reading through them. Just embarrassing.
Richard Dreyfus as a hunchbacked flamboyantly gay Richard III in Goodbye Girl was fucking amazing, shame it's surrounded by a meh movie.
NON NOBIS DOMINE DOMINE
>tfw st crispins is your birthday
do I have to watch Richard 1 and 2 to get this?
>tfw people probably regard this speech as sexist these days
biker mice from mars?
Shakespearekino
Kurzel Macbeth is a masterpiece in my opinion.
>kekable
Brannagh's Much Ado About Nothing is a pretty successful adaptation desu.
Richard Burton's Hamlet, not even joking
go on youtube to see what I mean
this + hopkin's titus andronicus
Unironically this
Throne Of Blood is the superior one, objectively and Wells's is underrated, too.
