this is one of the saddess scenes... I was chorus in the play and watching this even though I know what is going to happen I still get upset the acting is amazing!
What I like, is that this is using a lot of the symbolism in the play itself. Rome is a den of tigers, and tigers must prey, and there is naught to prey on but me and mine (I probably butchered the quote, but still...) The director just emphasizes those scenes into far more than could be displayed by play alone.
In the play, she uses her feet. Taymor chooses to make her not, and has lavinia put it to her mouth but not in it to show that she still has some power at least, even though the brothers cut out her tongue and took away her arms
Are you sure; I'm sure that in the script, she does actually put it in her mouth and move it around with her stumps. It seems something which has come later.
why is he in a suit? isn't this set in roman times?

It's very stylized like many of Taymor's films.
Much like the Romeo + Juliet film.
Somewhat contemporary setting, yet still with the feel of classical Rome.

I laughed when the rock music started playing and they showed some random woman, dancing. XD

Has anyone noticed the phallic nature of the stick. Lavinia looks at it and is disgusted by the thought of putting it in her mouth. So intense!
