The movie does not particularly subtly portray the victim's POV as being the correct one, and even from the perspective of the perpetrator it's pretty clearly not consensual

Problem is that poo poo is copyrighted

Oh yeah it's an incredibly bad take on Last Duel as well. Scott is not a very subtle director lol, I would say I don't understand how people refused to get it but really it's just about getting mad on the internet

It actually makes a lot of sense that the YA extremists are always coming for Salinger and never Shakespeare, because plenty of Shakespeare is the same kind of poo poo you'd see in a YA book except in flowery verse (thinking of AMND but also of Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, and hell, Romeo & Juliet)

Also Titus Andronicus is basically a shonen manga

Maybe Shakespeare is great but I'll never know cuz it's written in a different language.

Dunno why they try to teach it in middle school.

Shakespeare is good (maybe very good) but reading it is asinine

we've been talking about great films for pages now. nobody studies film - much less introduces anyone to the study of film - by making them read a Kurosawa or Fellini screenplay. you watch the loving movie. Shakespeare would be pissed off if he knew 15 year olds 500 years in the future had to read his dry writing blind and, obviously, developed an aversion to it

Eh? Titus Andronicus has been compared a lot more to a grindhouse movie. Or a very dark comedy.

Also it's literally got:

"Thou hast undone our mother!"
"Villain, I have done thy mother."

Eh, both have far more specific genre implications, even if they don't necessarily exclusively mean that.

the film adaptation starring Anthony Hopkins is delightfully brutal

it's a shame Julie Taymor is so obsessed with crippling Spidermen on stage, she's great behind the lens

Not that there is a "wrong" opinion to have, but you're the first person I've come across who prefers the Let's Dance version to the original soundtrack version. The original is peak Moroder.

I love moroder for sure but maybe as a guitarist I just enjoy the groove of the beginning and just the feel of the album version .

I saw it performed as a dark comedy once. They did it in the round, decided to make Aaron a clown instead of a moor (this is how I found out a friend of mine is terrified of clowns), every time the daughter opened her mouth blood would just spray out, the messenger is just the same guy that keeps getting killed, etc.

It was actually pretty fun. especially if I was an old timey peasant drunk off my rear end and just watched a chimp fight a bear outside or any of the rest of that crazy poo poo the English did
