@robisgangsta1 of course not, that's Margaret. Borachio and Don John wanted Claudio to think that Hero was together with another man the night before the intended wedding.
the guy next 2 the gut with glasses ; hthey are just showing how dumb he is, and the three guys are theifs, buhh thats why its funny because he is telling them to look for theifs buhh they are theifs themselvs(:
It's just setting up that they are watch guards for the prince and also that they are not the brightest bulbs. They have to make sure that we know they are ridiculous so we understand why leonardo pays him no mind on hero's wedding day.
Oh my God, I love this cast. Even for the ultra-peripheral characters they get people like Phyllida Law and Brian Blessed and Ben Elton. I frickin love Brian Blessed.
well, you know that don john is a "bastard" son to don pedro's father. So it's probably to get back at him maybe. Could just be how he is. Still love Keanu Reeves though.
i know leather pants with no shirt its like GOOD GOD with a side of LORD HAVE MERCY with extra DAYAM!
ahem i do love branagh's shakespeare i wish i got to study this in school i did macbeth romeo and juliet and hamlet- his hamlet is just unreal and what a cast!
well i did alz get A's for descriptive writing in school lol i think the keanu one was my most accurate! its also the moodiness and the being a bastard too! lol did u know he's done the tempest played mercutio in r&j and played hamlet on stage
Sorry Keanu fans, but he is wrong for the role. Some roles he can do just fine, but not this one. And truth be told, though I praised him before, Keaton is out of his league as Dogsberry.
Lot of people gave Keaton a hard time over his portrayal of Dogsberry. He is over-the-top, but he is supposed to be. Dogsberry is a ridiculous version of a cop, more of a guy who wants to play cop/constable than actually be one. He is supposed to be ridiculous in seeing his own status as more heroic than it is. I think Keaton does well enough in role since that is the point of the role.
if only they had a halved coconut which they found in their oddly usuitable climate for coconuts which might have been transported between a pair of african swallows on a line...NO ONE EXPECTED THE SPAINISH INQUISITION!
I find it interesting that so many schools are doing Shakespeare plays. I'm jealous. xD My school does contemporaries. I would love to play a Shakespeare leading lady. It would be rather challenging.
it's because they want to stop the wedding, so he yells that out so claudio won't marry her because she's sleeping with another man, even though that isn't her.
if michael keaton was a little younger.. he could replace heath ledger and be the joker.. ironically he did play batman in a few movies but he could def be the joker, keaton rocks
I know! Keanu Reeves has no place anywhere in a 50 mile radius of Shakespeare. My Shakespeare class watched this film today and every time he was on screen we just erupted into laughter. He didn't even need to say anything.
i know, right?! it's like he opens his mouth and you just hear him say "yeah, dude, we're like, SO causing mischief.. thou... " xD Keanu Reeves and Shakespeare.. just... no..
i'm watching this english, but thankx for putting it up because its actually a really good play. i like beatrice. i love it when she insults benedick. don't you think claudio and is cute and so is dohn john and don pedro
omg, Keaton's part is way over the top. I've read some die-hard WS fans don't like the job he did in the film, but it makes me laugh. I understand his character is suppose to be trying too hard to speak like a nobleman, but he fails.
Kenneth and Emma really do an excellent job in this movie/play.
MAN! I'm reading the play and watching the movie as far as I read and they tottaly skipped the part where Don Jhon and that other guy scheme to ruin Hero's wedding.
