Aaaah I love the way this actor plays Iago. Not just in this scene, but in the entire movie. So believable.

Iago is without doubt the best villain there is. He's role in Othello makes the play more emotionally draining then any other play Shakespeare ever wrote.

"put money in thy purse" is all of my friends and mine's new line

I was telling a classmate in my English Lit class, while discussing Othello, about how Kenneth Branagh is like the Where's Waldo of Shakespeare. Then my professor puts on this movie and I start busting up laughing, considering what I had just been saying... no one but the professor thought it was funny. Such a shame.

This was absolutely BRILLIANT up until the lightning strike at the end.

This is THE scene that made me a fan of Branagh back in world lit.

First time I had watched this scene, I started wondering where my money was and how I could get it to Iago.

I'll sell all my land...xD

Genius 'schemer' Shakespeare showed us that '(free) willing' is complicated. He scanned man with poetic intuitions. Jago advocates for reason and control, but when Roderigo is away, Jago's (free?) will is out of control for hate of Othello. Did Shakespeare know how neurons in the brain functioned? Of course not. He had a fine 'nose' for human motives. Reading old latin literature, history of royal man and living his (unsafe) life made him word smart: HIs free will embedded commands in personae..

Love the imagery with the chessmen, very powerful.
