"The Merchant of Venice" disappointed me

The Merchant of Venice

The Merchant of Venice

Yesterday, I accidentally saw this Shakespeare drama filmed in 2004 in Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States on a TV channel. I happened to see that part of the trial, the most famous scene of "One Pound of Meat".


It is a pity that the actress Lynn Collins who plays Portia seems to be a little dull, and her limbs and eyes lack agility and enthusiasm. That is a smart, agile and enthusiastic beauty who has been interpreted by countless actors!


I like the tone and costumes of the whole film. Pacino, the actor who plays Sherlock, is the best. Unfortunately, the quality of the dubbing cannot be complimented.


After watching this scene with a painful feeling, I really have no interest in watching the part where they flirt after returning to Portia Manor.

    3 stars are all for Sherlock and Al Pacino who played Sherlock, the others are worthless...I like Sherlock when I read the original, can't hurt...

    The hatred between Christians and Jews in Venice in 1596 was so deep. Portia had a peculiar smell, oddly with her two yellow eyebrows. What a man swears to a woman to protect to the death is easily given away. The character of Antonio is inconsistent (he should always be proud, why begging?) so that he loses his independent personality and fails to shape.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Bassanio: In Belmont is a lady richly left - and she is fair, and fairer than that word - of wondrous virtues. Sometimes, from her eyes I did receive fair... speechless messages. Her name is Portia, no less a beauty than Cato's daughter, Brutus' Portia. Nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth,for the four winds blow in from every coast renowned suitors. O my Antonio, had I but the means to hold a rival place with one of them then I should question less be fortunate.

  • Bassanio: So may the outward shows be least themselves. The world is still deceived with ornament. In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt but being seasoned with a gracious voice obscures the show of evil? In religion, what damned error but some sober brow will bless it and approve it with a text, hiding the grossness with fair... ornament? Look on beauty and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight. Therefore, thou gaudy gold, I will none of you. Nor none of you, O pale and common drudge between man and man. But you, O meagre lead, which rather threatenest than dost promise aught, your paleness moves me more... than eloquence. Here choose I. Joy be the consequence.
