Bob Hoskins ... Iago
Anthony Hopkins ... Othello
Director: Jonathan Miller
Othello (1981) (TV)
Shakespeare's Othello can sometimes be overpowered, in our imaginations, by Iago. Indeed, Verdi thought of calling his opera "Iago". Anthony Hopkins' rather subduded Othello, on the surface, doesn't seem to help--after all, Othello is a character endowed with more emotional range and story--but Hopkins' thoughtful performance grows on you.

Having Othello played by a white man is the ultimate tool in accentuating the fact that race is, in fact, one of the least significant themes in the play.
Hopkins is a winner.

black in 1604 in England is different to Black 2011, Moor of Venice could be played by a black or an other

Laurence Fishburne is about the nearest to Othello as it gets but even I feel there is something lacking there.

If you study Shakespeare you'll find that Othello is a Moor from northern africa so he could have more causcasian features (interracial consorts) weren't that rare. And in those days most gentlemen avoided the sun so their skins were pasty. I must admit Hopkins is one of the greatest modern actors and Bob Hoskins is excellent

it's not so much the fact that he's a white man playing a role originally written for a black man, i mean if you don't want to use any black people in your films that's your prerogative, but the fact that he's in black face is just racist as fuck. It's obvious they wanted an all white cast and everybody knows hopkins is white anyway so white the black face? just plain racist imo

@retread01 Whenever Shakespeare wrote about Venice, he always wrote about racism and anti-semitism. It's important that Othello be black or Arab because Venice was THE cosmopolitan city of the time and Shakespeare wanted to explore that.

@vball545 Moor could also mean African. It had many meanings.

@1231992Qwerty1992123 "Moor" had many different meanings back then. There is no correct way of knowing race by using the word. There were black and brown moors. Some looked Arab some looked Black African. There is no proof that the Moorish ambassador was the inspiration, it has just been put forward as a possibility.
