Twelfth Night: Or what you will - Part 5

[MuppetMollyStarGleek]

I always note that, in this particular scene, Feste actually doesn't drink. Man, Sir Ben's portrayal is so wonderful.

[TheGuyWithASurfboard]

"I am the man!" SHE'S THE MAN!!

[LilMinnie365]

"I am the man." LOL her face when she said that

[beingbeckeroni]

Umbridge has a great singing voice!

[woodjie1]

lmao very funny

[tambourinechick]

I love the way they merged these two scenes. It really works well with the song as the common theme.

[cloudsgrl]

@lizzycooperr She's Olivia, if you're asking about the basic name. I can't remember the full name, sorry

[kapow9Oh9]

profound 

[Spazzbert]

Sir Andrew reminds me of a high-strung Bertie Wooster

[Songsmirth]

Does anyone know if the songs Ben Kinsley sand were put on a CD? Thanks.  :)

[thewarblerette3]

@Songsmirth they were, but the album is out of print though. I would suggest downloading them on a video-mp3 conversion website! (:

[Songsmirth]

Beautiful voices. :)  Songs

[er10b]

3:41 three very drunk pissheads off their face, wasted and they're going into the house in the middle of the night... Bad idea.

[cdisneygleek77]

I love this song at 6:15 :)

[Mikah105]

4:25 was so funny

[ladyoftheheart]

love the duet.

[gcatherinev]

I had NO idea that Toby Stephens played Orsino AND Mr Rochester. :) random fact.

[ashleygirl100]

ahhhh so Sebestian is the sister of viola who is pretending the be the man right???So her brother is alive?

[TheyCallMeKAMiCHAMA]

she's the man alright.

[yermomsboxx]

Sir Ben's got a pretty decent voice.

[Narritoey]

okay so Sebanstian and Antonio make a really cute couple.....just throwing that out there hehe

[kenruneck]

@Narritoey Very very cute indeed ;)

[nicelydone31]

together 3 months and only now just telling him his name is sebastian??? hmmm i wonder what they spent that 3 months doing? lol!

[dawncoming]

In the original play Cesario is presented as a eunuch...so...probably Olivia knows it? Yet, she chooses to fall in love with a eunuch....

[dawncoming]

Cesario is the cutest girl I know!

[filmjedi]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sir Ben, but it's so apparent that he's not playing the concertina!! O_O

[dawncoming]

It's kind of too modern for me.

[kataralove154]

@dawncoming

lol

[BatmansFavoriteGirl]

the singing is so beautiful. i simply love imelda in this movie. :)

[obiwanobiwan13]

ANOTHER Antonio in Shakespeare?!

He has so many "Antonios" in his comedies...perhaps they all know each other? ;)

[kristbjorg999]

such wonderful song Ben Kingsley sings and Imelda Staunton has such a good voice, should sing more often in her roles or just give out a record. Does anyone the name of the song which is sung by Ben Kingsley. Such a moving scene, one of the best part of this movie

Richard E. Grant is by far one of the best actors out there

[kristbjorg999]

such wonderful song Ben Kingsley sings and Imelda Staunton has such a good voice, should sing more often in her roles or just give out a record. Does anyone the name of the song which is sung by Ben Kingsley. Such a moving scene, one of the best part of this movie

[Alishhh4]

@kristbjorg999 the song is written in the play and is generally termed 'O mistress mine' after the first line. Each production must write music for the lyrics. This is by far the most musical play Shakespeare wrote, Feste sings three songs in total and each injects some melancholy into the play, which would otherwise be too sentimental. I also love Imelda's voice, if you've ever seen the film ''Peter's Friends'' she sings a song in that beautifully - as well as acting exceptionally well.

[taylorelyse101]

i hate how theyve cut out so much of the ring scene. i have to do it for an audition to get me into the west australian academy of performing arts and it could change my lfe and its on monday and grrrr i have no idea how to even do it

[07sumbdy]

I have a question,

 why was Sebastian going to Orsino's court?

[thedukeofdukers]

@07sumbdy his father was a butler for orsino as viola stated so he decided to work for orsino until he had decided what he would do.

[chrischrissiecrystal]

orsino in this version is so hot. haha

[Heligoland43]

aww, that harmony was lovely

[ExtremePersuasion]

@Heligoland43 Wasn't it! Beautiful. I had no idea either of them sang.

[MoooonshoesPotter]

"...A little, by your favour."

XD sooo cuuute!!!

[stardustdragonroxx]

Cesario(Viola) sounds like a little boy LoL how sweet and cute.

[ToriEllen91]

Yay for being mischievous piss heads! ^_^

[Felidae08]

wow! ben kingsley's got an amazing voice! and i know that might sound gay, but helena bonham carter is soooooooooo damn hot and pretty!

[EltonJThe]

This movie is great, but I don't know who to root for. Benedick and Beatrice was a little more obvious in Much Ado About Nothing. Although the protagonist in that was the constable.

[BelovedCaptain]

Steven Macintosh!!! :D <3 <3

[justinsn95]

This whole thing is kinda... gross.

[TheWanderingAngel]

@justinsn95 - How so?

[FullersDuck]

@justinsn95 Oh, look - you're an American!

[Heligoland43]

@justinsn95 :/ maybe if you are LGBTphobic...

[personofmatter]

I completely agree with your point rleigh. I watch and read books writen by Jane Austen, and Shakespeare to remember what the english speaking culture used to be like. I love it and try to improve my vocabulary daily.

[initialsbliss]

i don't understand ; if only there were french subtitles :(

[aDieuSeul]

What a beautiful harmony Mary adds to the song!

[zoeychickgothkitty]

My favorite bit :)

I'm playing Viola

[animeicerose97]

oh jesus christ olivia is in luv with a WOMAN...jesus christ.

[rldaniels95]

does anyone know who plays Olivia? She looks sooooo familiar!!!

[mthomas0930]

It is Helen Bonham Carter most recently of Alice and Wonderland

[LandTravelz]

@mthomas0930 and bellatrix in harry potter.

[LLitLomL]

It's Imogen Stubbs. The only other place I've seen her is as Lucy Steele in Sense and Sensibility.

[Lfeodorovna]

is donald sutherland one of the men shouting to mary's bedroom at night?

[ancamariaaa]

where does act 3 start?

which part?

[rleigh87]

I wish people still talked like that...with such grace and precision...when peopel fully used and understood the English language. We use so little of our vocabulary.

And when did men stop showing affection for each other? Why have we become a society that everything is gay simply by showing that you care about your frind, or your brother?

[rleigh87]

and clearly I was typing too fast. Forgive the typos!

[laconiclane]

@rleigh87

People rarely talked as Shakespeare wrote. Certainly not in verse. And writing is almost always more planned out that verbal conversation. rleigh87, you seek to remember a fantasy.

[rleigh87]

@laconiclane I didnt mean in verse. I simply meant people spoke with more care and understanding of their language...without saying "like, like totally" and crap like that. I am well aware that it is a play and the words are planned. Thank you for correcting me....

[avengefullgirl95]

@rleigh87 I AGREE!

[LatteSippingElitist]

@rleigh87 Yes, in Shakespeare's time, everyone spoke in blank verse, with Shakespearean diction, as though they were... actors. Are you retarded or something? That's like saying everyone in our time speaks like Jason Bourne. Do you honestly think a PLAY is an accurate reflection of how people really talked in that era? And that there was never a form of "like totally" before, like, you were born? Expand your mind and try not to sound like a retard next time.

[rleigh87]

@LatteSippingElitist Um NO I dont think a play is an accurate reflection. My only point was that people had a much better vocabulary and understanding of their language then, and even 100 years ago than we do now. People spoke with much more eloquence and made their point much easier than most people seem to now. But again, like the comment below, thank you for correcting me and being so sweet about it.

[FlippinBooks]

@rleigh87 Thou dost speak masterly!

Seriously though, I totally agree. I just saw a production of Twelfth Night, and the director made Antonio blatantly gay. Because apparently, in our society, it's impossible to conceive of a man telling another man he loves him, without assuming there's something "going on". Oy.

[rleigh87]

@FlippinBooks I hate it when they do that...don't mess around with the playwrights words and try to put your own spin on it...you know? It's Shakespeare! It's great the way it is. Thank you for you kind comment :) I do hate the fear of showing affection in this country.

[blkhatRaven]

@rleigh87 People NEVER talked like that. It's pretty much impossible to cram all the alliteration, allusions, similies, metaphores, and what not into everyday speach. That's kinda why Shakespear is considered such a genius playwright.

[SimpliiSweet4]

@rleigh87 Thank you!!! I have to agree!!!

[GizmoBeam]

@rleigh87

More importantly, what society are we that everything that's gay is bad and wrong and offensive? Honestly, the fear of what is different is the basis of racism. Why would anyone hate a person juts because they're gay?

[olives937]

@rleigh87 Actually, Shakespeare's audience--meaning the vast majority of the population at that time--had an EXTREMELY limited vocabulary. Shakespeare was a very well educated "middle class" dude that also happened to be a freakin' genius. It is lovely to think everyone was walking around speaking in quibbles, puns, and verse, and such, but... they weren't. They were just as stupid as we are. Example: the #1 type of entertainment at that time was *drumrollll...* bear baiting. yyyyeah.

[kataralove154]

@rleigh87 yes sometimes i speak like that just to piss people off lol

[Andrew920917]

I think the grace and precision of vocabulary is part of the act which made Shakespeare's plays such a spectacle for the public. However, i do agree with you that we could at the very least improve on "like gay an that if u know wat i mean innit"

[rleigh87]

@Andrew920917 thank you. that is my point. I am aware that people didnt talk EXACTLY like this. I mean old english! Just read books from 100yrs ago and the english is still more beautiful than it is now....because people used som many more words!!! I wish you people would quit nit picking over my comment, I did not ever say that people talked exactly like Shakespeare's scripts!

[dmdesignillustration]

@rleigh87 People never "talked" like that. This is Shakespeare.

[Pobby1000]

@rleigh87 I feel the same way completely, except that people didn't actually talk quite like they do in Shakespeare's work. Otherwise he wouldn't be heralded as the greatest English writer in history! His language is loaded with wit, intelligence and allusions that were surely above most's command of English at the time.

[SeasonedTravler]

@rleigh87 I hope you know that people never ACTUALLY talked like that...

[Songsmirth]

@rleigh87 The way Shakespeare had his character's speak wasn't the way the common people spoke. It's why people went to see he and Ben Jonson's(sp)( who he stold from)work. He was a sensation using this type of language/prose that fasinated the audiences. Just like today's audiences that like something new. My vast opinion. :)  Songs

[Foxgirl5000]

god i just loooooovve this movie~~!!!!

[fleming334]

bellatrix is so damn fineeeeeeee!!!!! :)

[bluemuffin100]

Olivia is bellatrix

[MrsBloom1991]

helena xD

[97littlebrowngal]

"I am..the MAN!" hahahhaa <3 can't help but love it!

[nymphetamine9mm]

"I am... the man!" haahaha. :P

[tblanl]

Fool looks like the Michael Cerveris's Sweeney Todd...

[wonderlandforever]

the woman who plays dolores umbridge in harry potter has a pretty voice. :) idk what her name is though.

[katiemayyy710]

Correction:

Imelda Staunton has a pretty voice. She's done a lot more than just Harry Potter. And it's too bad most young people today only know her for that...

Actually, all of the Harry Potter actors are known as their characters, regardless of how accomplished and well-known they are.

[wonderlandforever]

No, no. I knew her name, it's just that I couldn't remember it. And I know she's done more movies. I've seen some and she is a good actress. But thank you for reminding me.

Plus, it's true, I am a young person, but I'm not a big fan of the modern shows and movies (except for Harry Potter. I luv Harry Potter) but I also love Bette Midler, and most kids my age have no clue who I'm talking about when I mention Bette Midler which upsets me, because Bette Midler is such a good person.

^_^

[katiemayyy710]

Sorry, I know the way I said it could have been interpreted as rude... I didn't mean it that way.

It's just that it frustrates me when people think that these people are solely the characters they play in one series, not the amazing and accomplished actors they are.

Bette Midler's great! I can't say I've seen her in much, but what I have seen I have really liked.

I'm in college so I guess I fall under the "young people" category I just railed against...

[katiemayyy710]

Most of the time, I can list a bunch of actors in a movie and my friends will know one or two but the others are famous in England, or different generations and it always shocks and/or disappoints me when they don't know, so I know exactly how you feel... :D

[wonderlandforever]

Plus, what you said isn't entirely true. I don't only like Helena Bonham Carter for being Bellatrix Lestrange, you know. I'm a HUGE Helena Bonham Carter fan and I've seen alot of her movies. ^_^

[katiemayyy710]

Have you seen Fight Club?

[wonderlandforever]

OMG YES!! I luv that movie! And I like Novocaine, and Till Human Voices wake us, and Sweeney Todd, and Henry the eighth, and .... ( listing off Helena Bonham carter movies) lol

^_^

[katiemayyy710]

Unfortunately I've only seen Fight Club and Sweeney Todd from this list... But I've seen her in Hamlet, Big Fish, and Howards End.

She really is a fantastic actress.

[wonderlandforever]

Yea, she is an awesome actress! And I also like Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Bette Midler, Fran Drescher, Helena Bonham Carter! ^_^

[katiemayyy710]

hahaha Fran!! :D Who doesn't love her?!

Great list. I agree, plus some other HP actors (they chose some great actors) like Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. (And Hugh Laurie - huge House fan)

[wonderlandforever]

Oh yes! Definately! Alan Rickman is so cool! But, your gonna hate me for this, but I haven't seen any other movies with him in it except Sweeney Todd and Harry Potter. :(

[katiemayyy710]

That's how I first heard of him. But he's amazing. Perfume (creepy, but really interesting), Love Actually, Sense and Sensibility, Truly Madly Deeply, and so many others I'm blanking on.

You should check his other movies out, because he really is a talented actor.

And I'll be sure to check out more Bette Midler!

[wonderlandforever]

AWESOME! Bette Midler is flipping AWESOME! But young kids like me don't know of her much which really makes me mad because when ever I say to someone at school, "Do you like Bette Midler?" They say, "Who's that?"

It makes me sad. :'(

Plus, I get made fun of for having a crush on Johnny Depp when all the other girls like the stinking Jonas Brothers. :'( I don't even like the Jonas brothers. >:(

[katiemayyy710]

Surely they must have seen Hocus Pocus at least?

Ugh I hate the Jonas brothers too... I'm with you on the JD crush though ;)

You will get used to people not knowing older actors... It happens all the time. I was obsessed with Jane Austen (and the film versions) while my friend was obsessed with HSM and Zac Efron. I'm not a fan of teen heartthrobs, which got me a few incredulous looks through high school but I actually got my friends into my movies!

[wonderlandforever]

Whenever they say, "Who's Bette Midler?" I give them a look like this, -_-

and I say, "have you seen Hocus Pocus?" and they say "yeah"

and I say "SHE'S WINNEFRED SANDERSON!"

then they say, "You mean the one with teh crazy teeth?" Then I just walk away, mad.

It's hard not fitting in, but I like being different from all the JBrother fangirls. I hate the modern Disney Channel, too. They don't even play Hocus Pocus like they used too.

Instead they have pop garbage crap. :'(

[katiemayyy710]

I miss old Disney... I grew up watching the Thirteenth Year and Zenon Girl of the Twenty-First Century. All the good old Disney Channel movies :)

Now there's Camp Rock or something like that and Hannah Montana and it's just really gone downhill...

Kind of reflects society: Music and everything just keeps going downhill (I mean stuff like Jonas Brothers. I think even NSync was better than them...). Not that it was great when I was little, but it was better.

[wonderlandforever]

Yeah. I'm sick of seeing hannah Montana, The jonas brothers, camp rock, sonny with a chance, I HATE IT! And Disney channel is so twisted now, I can't even explain it. And Thank goodness for nick@nite because that's the only place I can even watch The Nanny!

[katiemayyy710]

haha my roommate and I watch Nick@Nite every once and a while :) Because The Nanny is so awesome :D

I know this kid who has never heard of it, though. Can you believe that?! I though *everybody* knew Fran!

[wonderlandforever]

*sigh*

I wish.

But that's okay because more for the real Franfans!

Fran is FRANTABULOUS!  FRANTASTIC SHE'S JUST FLIPPING COOL CUZ SHE'S FRAN!

[wonderlandforever]

Fran is a great role model! I LOVE Fran! She's such a wonderful person, and Bette Midler, too! AND TIM BURTON, JOHNNY DEPP AND HELENA BONHAM CARTER, TOO! ^_^

[katiemayyy710]

And I just realized, I meant to say "a lot of the Harry Potter actors" but I said "all of". Oops.

[wonderlandforever]

That's okay. I understand ^_^

But Bellatrix is still awesome because Helena Bonham Carter plays her! ^_^

[katiemayyy710]

I second that. I hate Bellatrix in the book, but she's very well played in the films.

She's a character I love to hate :)

[Arrow87Arts]

"O Mistress mine" song is one of my favorites <3 and the clown FESTE is my favourate character ever ... he is the most persect wise fool :)

[paperbullet1945]

Well, there's Lear's fool, and Touchstone in "As You Like It", and a lot of Shakespeare's other fools.

[newg123456789]

kingsley doin an indian accent....i wonder whose idea that was :P

[Twigs0wot]

Probably his, as a nod to his dad =)

[PTFAbedeh]

5:00 - 9:05 = my absolute favorite scene from this film!

[770TheFlash]

lol, viola hated that cigar! poor girl

[Twigs0wot]

"sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

[pplalwaysgreave]

DAMN she actually looks a lot like sebastian.

[thesunsetshere]

this is getting interesting :)

[candiaherrera]

amo esta historia.

[way2musical]

I'm auditioning for Feste in my school's production...

Any advice? ("Character quirks"... etc?)

Anything?

When reading it, I pictured Feste as less.... sarcastic and more of a "trickster."

Thanks for the upload btw!

[JoHnNyDePpST]

I dont think viola knows how to smoke lol

[carolyn5591]

yeah, i was a little confused about that part as well; shouldn't she be hacking up a storm? lol oh, well!

[MKDSzebra3]

well she was probably trying not to show it!!!!

[sweetiechoco]

hmm the song is beautiful..o mistress mine. however the version by emilie Autumn is a little different from the one the fool sang. can anyone tell me where i can get a version of the one he sang? thanks a lot in advance

[thebighat99]

Here are the words but I have no arrangement for this song. O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming? O stay and hear! your true loves coming. That can sing both high and low; Trip no further, pretty sweeting, Journeys end in lovers meeting Every wise mans son doth know. What is love? tis not hereafter; Present mirth hath present laughter; Whats to come is still unsure: In delay there lies no plenty,Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty, Youths a stuff will not endure.

[sweetiechoco]

thanks a lot for the lyrics =) wow the soundtracks's real expensive!!

[thebighat99]

The sound track for this movie is like from $74 to over $100 thats crazzy.

[dianmarin]

sir andrew, sebastian and cesario look alike. well, nearly... i mean

[starscream38686]

0:17 shes the man

[i3skate]

I'm pretty sure Antonio had a serious crush on Sebastian. Poor dude.

[legodesi]

yeah i think he's gay.

[carolyn5591]

no, i think it was just a bad case of hero worship.

[thebighat99]

What is the name of the song the fool is singing?

[raynes94]

I think it's "Come Away Death", but I'm not sure

[thebighat99]

I found thanks raynes94 its O mistress mine, where are you roaming?

[SashalovesErik]

that song at the end was beautiful

[OliviaLaw94]

The bit with Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and Maria is actually hilarious

[Goldberry111888]

I am so disappointed that Viola didn't deliver the whole monologue!!

[emousejapanimation]

Indeed they made this film more cinematic than dramatic. I'm guessing they edited the diologue for pacing.

[PitchforkSally]

omg i love sebastian!!!!i love this actor!!

[Kristen755]

Viola looks better as a boy than a girl.

[Slagythor]

I kinda agree, weirdly enough

[newbeginnings523]

what a lovely duo...

[MayPretense]

Do Sebastian and Antonio have something going on?

[Yanagi225]

No. Antonio saved Sebastian and he looks up to Antonio like a big brother. They're like good friends. Ya know?

[MayPretense]

Yeah, I understand now.

Thanks.

[elkonesh]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, OF COURSE THEY DO!

Actus Secundus, Scaena prima. Antonio: The gentlenesse of all the gods go with thee:

I haue many enemies in Orsino's Court,

Else would I very shortly see thee there:

But come what may, I do adore thee so,

That danger shall seeme sport, and I will go.

[drewskione]

Indiana University

[Malabori]

Oh I love Feste's song.

Wish they put more of it on.

[TMTH4CanDyINA]

yall, let me make this clear, 2 hours after i put my recent comment, i found it was based on the play. Ok!?

[OrangeSlice]

"I am the man" Viola?

Well now, we use that very phrase today.

I wonder if it was found and taken from this play.. :D

[TwilighterxD]

Yeah it is because She's the Man is based on this play

[TMTH4CanDyINA]

im serious, this is kinda of like "She's the Man!"

[lisaishere0919]

it's the other way around

[attackover]

feste ftw

[CatchTheActingBug]

i was disappointed in antonio!! he's a great actor, but he didn't really strike me of the "antonio/pirate type"

[lollipopfop]

I never understood Antonio. What is his deal, exactly? Why does he even stay in Illyria?

[CatchTheActingBug]

well, since i played him (and i'm a girl lol), i can kinda tell you at least. he's slightly homosexual, or loves sebastian in a fatherly way, so he stays in Illyria to make sure no harm comes to him.

[elkonesh]

BECAUSE HE LOVES HIM

[josueperez36]

Antonio is the gay sailor that sebastian is stranded in the ocean with.

[cinephilegal]

What does Viola say when Orsino asks her if she likes the song? Can't understand her.

[OSCEG]

It gives a very echo to the seat where love is throned

[lorstel]

does anybody know the name of this song cause I'ld like to find the lyrics

It's so sad I can't find the DVD with french subtitle cause I miss all the subtility of Shakespeare !

Thanks for the video

[DeddeX]

It's called "O Mistress Mine"

It should be easy to find lyrics to some of the versions of the song^^

[moderina333]

she looks more like a girl as the guy rather than the girl

[autokrator12]

"Welcome, ass!"

[barneyminion]

Wow Ben Kingsley can sing very well! I love this adaptation, very good.

[sjaeckh]

This song is beautiful...I love the harmonizing
