    He is criminally underrated here in the u.s. for his directing and acting. Just a talented bloke

    Small chance of him reading this, but Brannagh PLEASE do more Shakespeare films. This man is PERFECT for directing, starring, and writing films based on Shakespeare plays.

      Victor Kong
      Tragedies: King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet (since he loves modern remakes/reboots)
      Histories: Richard II, Richard III, Henry VI Parts 1-3
      Comedies (He was good in Much Ado About Nothing):
      Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice
      Shakespear-like: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Live Adaptation of the Lion King (Originally was Based on Hamlet), Equivocation

      But so many of those plays have already been done by his contemporaries and peers, and to great success too. Don't think it'd be much of a challenge for him to do them at this stage in his career.

      Victor Kong Hamlet and Othello, both of which he starred and/or wrote and directed previously stared Laurence Olivier... eho Brannagh played in My Week with Marilyn. Trust me, it does not matter so long as he does it his way. Same with Henry V... previously done as a TV movie (by BBC I think).

    • @victorkong82
      @victorkong82 6 лет назад +1

      Laurence Olivier was not one of his contemporaries. Branagh was the first to re-adapt those plays for a new generation. Since Branagh's Henry V, however, many of his peers have already made great versions of those plays - and he has no reason to try to redo what they did so successfully.
