Claudio is not taking into consideration WHO this is coming from. And Don doesn't explain why she'd marry someone else when he's available. Why does Claudio even consider this for a second? I think it's because he doesn't know her well. Not as friends/lovers. Their romantic relationship was fast. Jeasously is it own maddness. Why does he question Hero over a man who hasn't a friend in the world? This Don is the most viscious of them I've seen. He's seems more like a phycopath than mean.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I've just very recently become obsessed with Damian Lewis and I hadn't seen this yet! So thanks again! When they first showed him clean shaven, I gasped! Wow, that man is good on the eyes!
The hotel bit with Beatrice and Benedict is HILARIOUS...the Bard himself would surely be in stiches!
And nice choice of a sonnet there, #116, for the theme of the play here...#116 dealing with the nature of love, if it's certain or not, if things can or should get in the way...like, perhaps, two veery smart but very proud people who are too proud to just come out and say "Let's give it a fling?"
speaking of which, nice little bit of trivia for ya. David Nicholls, the guy who worked on this version is the author of a book i just read, One Day, and it references that very same sonnet :) He's great, he has this other excellent book called Starter for Ten, inarguably the funniest book i've read in the past... several years :) recommend it!! There's a film based around it but it was "meh" at he very best, i think...
Although I love it when beatrice and benedick are falling in love, i rather prefer it when they hate each other ("you really do put the w into anchorman, do you know that?" - best line ever!!!)
@JenniAnime YES! stormbreaker was on tv last night, and although i'd read the books(reading snakehead now; yes, i'm that cool!) i hadn't seen it before. Yassen was my favourite charafcter in the books and (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) i was so annoyed that they killed him off. I watched sstomrbreaker last night and I was like OMG IT'S DAMIEN LEWIS FROM MUCH ADO AND FORSTYE SAGA. I almost died.
I always thought in the original shakespeare script they were a bit harsh about Beatrice when they were tricking her
