https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYcgQMxQwmk>Healer Agnes Hathaway (Jessie Buckley) and her husband, aspiring playwright William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal), struggle to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet — The tragedy that inspired the creation of The Bard’s "Hamlet."
>>215130324>Chloe ZhaoWhy does Hollywood keep hiring this hack? Didn't The Eternals flop?
>>215130324Shakespeare ripped off a norse revenge legend for Hamlet, not that the jews will ever admit to that
>>215130324seems like a nice fictional story.
>>215130355Western Asian Woman privilege is insane.
>>215130324The trailer may be misguiding, but the "Pray, cry, love, and be thankful that you had it and not sad that you lost it" tone seems completely at odds with how relentlessly nihilistic Hamlet is.
>>215130982''stop crying, feeble creature, thou may lie in thy second best bed tonight if it make thou feel better.''
>>215130355Eternals is irrelevant, it was a paycheck job, the biggest artistic input Zhao was allowed to have there is the cinematography being a bit differentNomadland was meh and was a big compromise Oscar win but her earlier movie The Rider is excellent
>>215130324I'm so tired of pretending people understand anything at all about Shakespeare's psychology or personal experiences. The guy is a complete mystery and will remain so forever.>>215130982There's nothing 'relentlessly nihilistic' about Hamlet.
>>215130355she won best director which means she basically gets to keep making films forever regardless of budget or reception
>>215131321Are you talking about the man from Stratford?
Oscar bait the movie.
>>215131469at least it doesn't seem to have some stronk womyn Shakespeare secretly evil femenist angle
Modern day seems crazy to lose a child but wasn't the death rate of children like 50% back then?
>>215130355Chinese. Woman. Hollywood loves promoting that sort of thing.
>>215131512no but it's pretty clearly a revisionist work of imagination filtered though modern sensibilities.
LMAO THEY WAS REALLY LIKE WHAT SHOULD I NAME MY PLAY? IDK CHANGE A LETTER OR SUMN

>>215130399Yes, it's kino from Gesta Danorum.Amleth's story takes 2 parts, and only the first half is technically taken by Shakespare.Amleth is a giga chad who pretends to be retarded.not-Claudious suspects he is pretending to be retarded, so he sends a woman to seduce him. However, instead of not fucking her, Amleth eats his cake by tricking his uncle and still fucking the girl.After Amleth sets his uncle's drinking hall on fire, and then holds a long speech about how they should elect him as their king.Amleth then travels to Britain and marries a Briton princess. However, the King of Britain doesn't want to give his daughter to a Danish barbarian, so he sends him on a mission to conquer Scotland, hoping that he dies.Scotland is ruled by a horny witch-queen who has been able to kill all conquerors with her magic. However, when he sees Amleth she surrenders to him and they get married.Amleth returns from Scotland with his new wife, and still demands the British princess, because "polygamy is in Danish fashion".The King of Britain plans to assassinate him; however, before he is able to Amleth sets his drinking in flame, killing him.Amleth and his two brides then return to Denmark
>>215131829it's fine, but everything feels a bit too safe, it avoids serious drama and the really shitty aspects of the lifestyle portrayed, you don't need to make something ultra depressing like Agnes Varda's Vagabond (great film) but at least put in hintsthere are some effective scenes tho, and the visual approach is great, it's not terriblenot sure what /pol/ reason would there be to shit on the flick, I guess i saw some schizos view the movie as an Amazon ad somehow? just cause the main character worked in Amazoneither way Zhao's first two films are much better
>>215131979everything he DP'ed from flesh+blood to basic instinct you stupid niggerif you want another example, John Alcott
>>215131993>not sure what /pol/ reason would there be to shit on the flickdirector is a woman and asian, frances mcdormand is like rachel zegler and brie larrson for chud community here
