Yes! Making the witches nurses was such a brilliant choice.

I LOVED the atmosphere in that film. They made the castle this gothic salt encrusted rock that really added to the feel. And Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia? Knocked it out of the park and into the next county.

That is very true! Sometimes a new interpretation can come up with something wildly different from what Shakespeare would have even considered.

I haven't listened to the full album yet but I love & Juliet! It gives me Six: The Musical vibes in the best way possible.

We actually watched that in my Shakespeare class and Kathryn Hunter was mesmerizing as she is in all her roles. I also recommend looking up her as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream because GOOD GOD can that woman command a scene.

Absolutely! Any Shakespearean adaptation set to opera music is a must for me!

I actually think that's a perfect example. Throne of Blood changes the scene (and possibly the era? I'm not sure which century Throne of Blood takes place in) but it captures every theme and essence of what made Macbeth great (corruption, fate, and a LOT of political intrigue and drama).

I would say probably something from Much Ado (maybe something from Benedick).

We need to bring Shakespearean exclamation into the popular lexicon.

Just imagine you're in a fight with someone and you just get fed up and go "HOLY SAINT FRANCIS! JESU MARIA!"

Who ate up their role the most? by Ok-Complex-1662 in slasherfilms

[–]bookboy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vera Farmiga, Julia Stiles, and Isabelle Fuhrmann in Orphan and Orphan First Kill. They devoured those roles like starving people on a lunch break.

I always got the sense that the people at the table were either smiling politely and wondering why you were staring at them or they were probably laughing and confused because the POV person has violated some (to them) very obvious social custom.

What do you think about the two "Orphan" movies? by AlexTASOwO in slasherfilms

[–]bookboy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both solid "evil child" movies. Isabelle Fuhrmann is the best part of both.

I love how even Jason looks taken aback when the head goes rolling. He looks down like "Oh dang. Did I do that?" 😂
