Altough I don't understand why the director (or the screenwriter) had put there modern things (cars, video games machines etc.), I liked the movie, especially the acting - espescially Anthony Hopkins' acting.
There are crappy movies like The Last Rite and Red Dragon that Anthony Hopkins clearly made just to pay the bills...and then there are movies like Titus and The Remains of the Day, where you're reminded why this guy is considered a good actor.
@outlanderfrog I've yet to see this, really looking forward to though. From what I've heard Taymor blends Ancient Rome, Mousolini's Italy and 1920's decadence.
This play has some good moments and some great monologues but is probably shakespeare's worst. I enjoy it simply because it is an "untouchable" play and that it's ridiculous, gory, and fun. But it is a pretty bad play.
Amazing film, although it is occasionally hard to keep track. I am neither of english origin nor have english as native language but still prefer to watch films without subtitles, and thus it was pretty hard to get all the dialouge in this film in particular. The Shakespearian language is undoubtedly challenging, yet fascinating. For those who have not seen this masterpiece yet; take the opportunity if it comes up.
@DieCupcake it's actually set through the Roman Empire. the timeline confusion through its visuals is done in order to give metaphor to certain ideas. such as Saturninus' whole presence being reminiscent of Fascist Italy, or Demetrius and Chirion playing video games and the child making a mess at the dinner table with all his "toys" in attendance
I really miss the part where they cut out the bith where the uncle see's the raped daughter and says that if her rapesits had seen her hands play music 'they would not have harmed them for their lives' if they heard her play music they would have lowered their knives as Cerberus lowered his heads to Orpheus.
This is truly a masterpiece. It restores faith in the possibility of literature being adapted into movies without any butchering and oversimplifying. Julie Taymor did a brilliant job.
Th only other movie version I saw was the BBC which seemed to be made to complete the set. Julie Taymor really wanted to film THIS play and did a brilliant job.
We're doing this show at college in a professional theatre in March we got our parts the other day, i'm playing Saturninus :) can't wait i think it will be amazing :)
@carriegardner1 I love it...but as both a theatre person and as an English major, I have to say, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Richard III, Henry IV, The Merchant of Venice and Twelfth Night are all better plays thematically and structurally, I'd put Titus on the "second-tier" of his shelf (still masterpieces), with Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Casaer (tragic female lead- Lavinia's tops, "Hamlet"=BEST EVER!)
@carriegardner1 Shakespeare got the idea from The Bible Book of Speaking in Beef Tongues written by Hannibal Lechter. You cannot read Shakeys in a Lawrence Welk Champagne Bubble Hour. That's why Dian Fossey took a bubble bath with her boyfriend before she sayonara-ed him in favor of her greatest love, the mountain gorillas of Ruwanda. Greater love hath no Man than the lady who gave her life for Our Kissin' Cousins, the mountain gorillas. Not even the FBI tried to find her killer. Shame on you.
This Feels similar to Zork Nemesis PC Game before it was relased, who created this architecture or another Game Sanitarium and Dream World Gaming?
