The collision of classic and modern, no spark
Emmanuel 2022-03-23 09:02:58
When the actors speak for the first time in the film, it shows that this film is different. There are few films today that use such classical and stage lines as this film, and later After checking the information, I found that this is a complete copy of Shakespeare's original lines. But except for the lines, everything in the film is modern, especially the realistic style created by the handheld camera, etc., which forms a strong contrast with the classical beauty of the actors' dialogues. This contrast eventually evolved into a collision, which surprised me, but the collision was not strong enough to smash each other, and it did not bring out the sparks it should have, so it did not bring me the surprise I expected.
Even so, this film can be regarded as a major attempt in form, and I hope this attempt can have a certain effect on future films.

Volsce Politician: So your opinion is, Aufidius, that they of Rome are entered in our counsels and know how we proceed?
Tullus Aufidius: Is it not yours? 'Tis not four days gone since I heard thence. By the discovery, we shall be shortened in our aim.
Volsce Politician: And it is rumored Martius, your old enemy, leads on this preparation.
Tullus Aufidius: If we and Caius Martius chance to meet, 'tis sworn between us we shall ever strike 'till one can do no more. If ever again I meet him beard to beard, he's mine, or I am his.
