It's hard to find good Shakespeare films, IMHO - I love the plays, but so many films seem underfunded and amatuerish. The only good movie versions of Hamlet I've seen were (in parts of) the films Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and Fat Ham.
Edit: I'm not complaining and don't care much, but HN is puzzling sometimes! Currently this comment is at -1 - it's such an innocuous comment, and it added some substance. Maybe people really hated those films! :)
- AlotOfReading 3y agoRan is a pretty good king Lear.
- wolverine876 3y agoRan is an incredible film, IMHO. However, for these purposes, it doesn't fit what Nestflix is looking for: It's inspired by King Lear and follows some of the plot, but the plot also differs in many ways, the scenes and characters differ in many ways, and there's not one line of the Shakespeare play in it.
- justincormack 3y agoI think you missed what Nestflix is hence the downvotes. This is a site for Pyramus and Thisbe thats performed inside A Midsummer Nights Dream not about inspiration and derivation.
- wolverine876 3y agoThanks for responding. To be clear, you're saying that the Hamlet scenes performed in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern don't fit Nestflix because Hamlet is a real play. The play-within-the-play in Hamlet, performed by the traveling players, would fit. ?
- justincormack 3y agoYeah. I mean R+G is pretty much created a reverse nesting category I guess.
