Richard III - Opening

[mwelle1]

"I that am curtailed of this fair proportion,

Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,

Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time,

Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,

And that so lamely and unfashionable

THAT DOGS BARK AT ME AS I HALT BY THEM"

[Attomind]

Richard ATE the dog...spoils of war!

[Atvishees]

2:04...

VERY unconventional beginning of a Shakespearean epic...

[joezep37]

is the full film here??

[Centurator]

I love the breath rythm

[QuantumFart2]

Did the dog get out ok?

[SixFeetUndr101]

@QuantumFart2 I wanted to know the same thing. =]

[panzercat1939]

He was only a bad guy because the Tudors said so!

[EvanMe]

@panzercat1939 Well, he "determined to prove a villain," too.

[edmund184]

Very acceptable version for the Pulp Fiction generation. Mckellan is a brilliant Richard, surpasing Olivier perhaps. Spoiled only by the trite ending where he falls off a tower waving as he dies.

[ZemplinTemplar]

@edmund184 Actually, that's something I'd expect from such a good old fashioned magnificent villain.

[kingaj100]

Is there a villain more beloved than Richard III?

"never came poison from so sweet a place" :P

[greypilgrim26]

now THAT'S an opening!

[NomineRaven]

together with Iago!

[Karkaroff26]

Excellent movie

[urutta]

The opening was great (especially with the tank).

[tofusurvivor1]

[Anthrax92007]

Best Bad Guy ever.
