The World Must be Peopled!
Oct. 17th, 2012 08:54 pmOkay, I've been meaning to do this post for a long time, but I just haven't got around to doing it until now. I think
bookelfe will be pleased. ;)
I watched the 1993 movie, Much Ado About Nothing for the first time months ago. And oh man, why did take me so long to watch this movie? Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson are the perfect Benedick and Beatrice. They play so well off each other! Emma Thompson really brings across Beatrice's biting wit in enjoyable way, making her so charming. And Branagh's Benedick is wonderfully adorkable. The two leads just work so well together! I'm also a fan of Branagh's directing style.
... I find Keanu Reeves hilarious in this movie! He's melodramatic moodiness just makes me laugh every time he appears.
I think Michael Keaton was a slightly odd choice for Dogberry, and I think he channelled Beetljuice too much.
But overall, this is a fabulous movie and is definitely on my favourites list now!
