Again I must say that this whole scene of the yellow socks and Olivia is perfect! Helena Bonham Carter's laughing in this scene is so funny..I love her laugh! " Why this is very Mid Summer Madness." I love that line! And again Helena Bonham Carter's expression with this whole scene is..BRILLIANT ! Thanks for putting my favorite movie up! :)
Moria means this as a joke/getting some revenge but Toby really wouldn't care if Malvolio goes mad. Malvolio, arrogent or not, has morals and Toby doesn't want that to get in the way of his fun. I've watched this twice today and the more I watch it the more I realize that Toby doesn't care for anyone but himself. He's a user. His cousin, Sir Andrew, the male servant and Moria are all toys to be played with. He sets up this fight for a legal way to get Sir Andrew killed. No dept. Is this right?
Yes, Toby uses everybody but I wonder what Maria is up to. It ought have been considered a cruel joke even in the seventieens. I do not believe she ever gives any reason for such a revenge, except to impress Toby of course.
Maybe it just turned out this way because Shakespeare wrote the plays for those actors he had. Maybe he had a "Malvolio" whom he knew would be great in the role.
@MsSilentia You know, I've never thought of that! Of couse he'd play to his actor's strengths. hummm Makes me wonder about the rest of his plays. I don't remember him ever talking of his actors. You? / I think it's only to impress Toby as well but in the end, even when she gets what she wants, her plotting got them turned out. And she's stuck with an alcholoic for all her life. How's he going to make $? Revenge enough.
The rats three! / Me thinks that this be the best production of Twelth Night ever. Perfect casting. FOR ONCE they've got some believable twins. Ben really has a beautiful voice and plays the opposite fool well. I don't think he's every played something badly. "Sneakers" was one of my favorites. I don't know who the man is who plays Toby but he's fun. / Thank you Wat for taking the time to share this with us. Helped make my day a little sweeter. :) Songs
I cannot help it: I like this movie, though it cheats the viewer of so many immortal lines of Shakespeare; but the idea to use Feste as some sort of chorus (in the sense of a great tragedy/comedy) and the expression of emotions like deep hatred and sadness in the looks of the characters (Feste and Malvolio, mostly) alone is well done; and the twin pair is well played and chosen.
I agree. The audience feels like they're in on it and laughing with them too! Before seeing this version, I'd seen performances where the actors seemed to forget they were in a comedy!
@x0HOney Awww I feel bad for him. Just cause he doesn't get along with the rest of them doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve love and some semblence of respect.
This is one of the things that I love of this movie: they actually fight. It's wonderfully funny. And I can't help feeling sorry for Sir Andrew, he's terrible even at fighting with a woman.
. . . Something about Feste makes me love everything he does.

Considering she's had minimal training, Viola's not that bad of a fighter. She's certainly more aggressive that Sir Andrew lol

Oh, hands down, the fight scene is the best reason to make a movie out of the play. In theater, you're lucky if their swords even cross.
