He is the most handsome Cesario I have ever seen. She/he truly looks like a man, a very attractive man I must say. When I look at him and his manly behavior, I understand how Olivia fell in love with him ❤❤
I love the way they play out this song in this production. This song just sticks in my mind and I can't get rid of it. It's a bit of a haunting tune. It's cool how you can EITHER choose a "love song or a song of good life." It's like they're not compatible lol. It's interesting how when Feste gets to "Youth's a stuff will not endure" you see the reaction of Sir Toby and you know shit just got real.
I think the original joke is that Feste says “a song of good life” and means “a song about having fun,” but Sir Andrew misinterprets it to mean “a song about being well-behaved,” which he doesn't enjoy.
i thought romeo and juliet was my favourite Shakespeare play + love story!!! This movie totally totally changed my mind! I absolutely adore it. Everything from the plot to the acting to the music. It's so charming.
I love this too. if I may, if you havn't watched it already, I highly recommend A Midsummer Night's dream, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Klein, Christian Bale and Stanley Tucci. Its just outstanding including lovely (opera) music as well.
O Mistress mine where are you roaming? O stay and hear, your true love's coming, That can sing both high and low. Trip no further pretty sweeting. Journeys end in lovers' meeting, Every wise man's son doth know. What is love, 'tis not hereafter, Present mirth, hath present laughter: What's to come, is still unsure. In delay there lies no plenty, Then come kiss me sweet and twenty: Youth's a stuff will not endure.
i want the soundtrack so much! lol the funny thing is, this has somehow become the main song I sing to my baby daughter. She has always seemed to like it.
Thank you very much for the upload. I own a DVD, but each of us sometimes needs to hear a particular Something at a particular time, and to find it quickly. Wish you the most beautiful remaining days of summer.
I utterly adore this scene and how they chose to portray it in the movie. This is pretty much my favourite version of "O Mistress Mine". Does anyone know if it's available on a soundtrack?
written that way to follow the historic role of the fool in the royal court - the only one who could always speak truth to the king with impunity even when criticising - because it could be written off as 'only the fool speaking'
The prince's lines hit harder than they used to. Men's fancies are easily lost, women's looks do not last. Not universally true, to be certain, especially today when compared to four centuries ago. But still common, and something I've seen in the marriages of friends who loved each other deeply when they married--and who still do, in a fashion, but struggle to maintain the mutual attraction. I have heard, of course, that the adrenaline attraction of marriage gives way eventually to a new attraction resting on familiarity and comfort. But it can be hard for a couple, however loving, to make it through that middle period of transition.
yes, 1993, that is Viola'S nanny. She was also the giggling wife of Hugh Laurie (House) in Sense and Sensibility. Also, Imogene Stubbs who plays Viola in Twelfth Night is Lucy Steele in the same Sense and Sensibility. Great casts all.
We are doing this play for our high school play this year! I'm playing Viola and the different perspective is really interesting!! I'm so excited cause we will be singing this song in the play too!
This movie helped me to realize my bisexuality as a 10 year old, a bit after the movie came out, though it very much confused me because while I knew about gay people, I didn't understand you could like BOTH. I thought wow, there's something bizarrely wrong with me, how can I be both straight and gay? It took years, but I got there eventually. Now I look back on this movie. I love it so so much for everything about it.
Love this movie since i saw it for the first time. It was more than 20 years ago. And still love it. Fantasic acting, music and in all ways. Any one knows where i can find the full movie?
It's hard to find because apparently it's been out of print for a while, but places like Thriftbook and Ebay sometimes have copies for sale just make sure they're the right region or it won't play in your DVD player,, new one's are made in South Korea and can be ordered online it just takes a few weeks to get it, you have to turn off the subtitles and although the aspect ratio is correct it appears that they took a VHS Full Screen version and shaved off the top and bottom to give it the theatrical aspect ratio. But it's still great, best version of a Shakespeare play ever put to screen.
"Youth's that stuff will not endure..." Kingsley's Feste seems particularly angered by that sentiment; the emotion shows in her voice. Yet at other times this production's Feste seems so coolly superior to all the action that swirls around him. I wonder what Trevor Nunn and Kingsley imagine happened to Feste in his youth. Are there any hints at other moments in the play or movie?
WHERE can i find a complete MP3 of this song. I had downloaded it off YT a few years ago and lost it with my previous HDD, I am heartbroken forever without it
In truth, it is not so ironic that the fool would be the smartest person in the play, but I believe what you mean is the most knowledgeable, not the smartest. Fools, after all, were constantly around and more than any other role, were commonly overlooked by the nobles. Not unlike television set, or a radio and you don't care what THEY hear you say do you? Fools were the same, and that's why Festes knows so much about everyone.
@TheZipding There were two kinds of fools in Shakespeare, and all too often the ones that people actually call the fool is the wisest character in the work.
Why does he stretch out the second verse of each rhyme? Was that a common musical practice four centuries ago? Because it's not how _I_ read those lines.
I mean, they didn't wear suits and military uniforms like that either. Like many adaptations, this movie continues Shakespeare's own practice of not limiting itself to the period the play sets itself in. Shakespeare was originally performed just in contemporary Elizabethan costume, whether they were supposedly in ancient Rome or ancient Scotland, so many adaptations feel free to adapt his lines to whatever time period they see fit. Including the songs.
I sit with men who cross their legs and openly wear lipsticks, she sits with extremly manly men, i see a winning gang here😁 thats my best friend, she got all the moves for life🤣 Gyenjutsu for eternity
it is mostly Act II scene 3 , but since this is a movie, intercut with Act II scene 4, featuring orisino and viola . rest of scene 4 is separated in movie, while scene 3 continues after this.
Not me, him and Beethoven were both rock stars and the only reason the two of them weren't up to their necks in cocaine and strippers is because they hadn't been invented yet.
@@dukecraig2402 interesting. I guess there were psychedelic substance like mildura flower tea going around at the globe and in playhouses along the thames etc in elizabethan London....
It's not really so ironic. After all, fools were always around and were commonly overlooked by the nobles and gentry in much the same way that we would overlook a television set or a radio. Heard the saying "if walls could talk?" Fools were merely a part of the background, expected to be there, but not always to be used and so he is privy to more information than others. Not SMARTER, per say, but no doubt more knowledgeable of ongoing events.
This is SUCH a fantastic rendition of the play. The way the director blended these scenes is nothing short of art.
He is the most handsome Cesario I have ever seen. She/he truly looks like a man, a very attractive man I must say. When I look at him and his manly behavior, I understand how Olivia fell in love with him ❤❤
best part is when Imelda Staunton joins in on the singing...Love it
Yeah, that was always my favorite part in this scene. Even my dad was surprised, thought Imelda Staunton had a beautiful voice.
What a lovely voice Ben Kingsley has here. Absolutely lovely!
He was dubbed by a real singer.
@@eclecticism3086 no. Do a search--he really sings.

Feste too, reacts sadly.
I think the original joke is that Feste says “a song of good life” and means “a song about having fun,” but Sir Andrew misinterprets it to mean “a song about being well-behaved,” which he doesn't enjoy.
I think i'm obsessed with harmony in music. been dreaming of this song since i first watched the movie....such chills...
I can't stop watching Twelfth Night...
Always my favorite .
Extremely good how you saved me life I think again as I hear you, such power hath love in good art God bless all the cast of this film amen
my favorite tune in Twelfth Night. "Contagious" indeed!
Proud to say that I played Feste earlier this year!
He's an awesome character.
Dude I really want to play either feste or Viola
@Just Kazoka Why just 5 lines? :O
i’m playing feste currently, i’m excited!!
So many thespians... congrats!

Diana North Any other play would you recommend please? Cuz, I am just 15 and do not know why am I falling into these (romantic) classic movies.
It is charming. This version softens the Malvolio story line though. It’s really, really vicious in the original text
@@abdullahahmed3843 this is 3 years late, but Much Ado About Nothing by Kenneth Branagh. Wonderful!
Other people came here for the music. I came here because I'm still can't get over Toby Stephen sexy low voice. God
ah. i see you are a person of culture as well
Steven Macintosh was great too. Loved him as John Harmon/John Rokesmith in Our Mutual Friend.
I wish I was cesario/viola here because goddamn he’s so fine…
O Mistress mine where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers' meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love, 'tis not hereafter,
Present mirth, hath present laughter:
What's to come, is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me sweet and twenty:
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
Tks a lot🙏
Ben Kingsley and Imelda Staunton have such beautiful voices.

i want the soundtrack so much! lol the funny thing is, this has somehow become the main song I sing to my baby daughter. She has always seemed to like it.
Simply splendid and magical atmosphere!
Brilliant in so many ways!
I fell in love with this song when I watched this movie in my English class last week
"Youth is wasted on the young"
Ben Kingsley has a surprisingly good singing voice!
2021. I love this so much!!
This is my favourite version of the play=D
Will you have a love song or a song of good life?
A love song
Aye I care not for good life.
Haha Sir Andrew!!

This is by far my fav. Shake-speare play! And I love Ben Kingsley as Feste.

Sense n Sensibility is a great movie 🙏
Always makes me cry

I just watched this Movie and I really liked this song ✨😌, Great movie, a Shakespearean comedy if you will...

"Youth's a stuff will not endure."
Thou dost speak masterly.
very nice.
Haha, I play Sir Andrew Aguecheek in my college theatre! He's such a character-
@Nocturnelova I could not agree with you more. The best version in existence. :)
I played Maria the maid in this play when I was in high school.
Love this movie since i saw it for the first time. It was more than 20 years ago. And still love it. Fantasic acting, music and in all ways. Any one knows where i can find the full movie?

I did manage to get a DVD copy but it east easy and a few years ago now
I also bought a cd soundtrack!!
1:32 Prone to this scene, watching again and again.
I find it ironic that the fool is the smartest person in the entire play
I want the full movie of these characters only how will I get
anyone know where to find the sheet music for this rendition .... I can't find it ..ANYWHERE!!!!

yes one of my favourite movie scenes ever. I keep coming back to it
i love Feste :3
I need full film

Still looking? I'd be happy to oblige.
Callum!! Email me

it's zacharydetrick@gmail.com
@thessie Yes it is, but said soundtrack is Out of print, and if you want a copy you have to buy it used
In his final song, Feste sings "by swaggering could I never thrive" suggesting that he was untrue to a past partner and is therefore rueful.
O sweet air.
As it was meant to be :)
@TheZipding There were two kinds of fools in Shakespeare, and all too often the ones that people actually call the fool is the wisest character in the work.
@1993ladyshindo Yeah! Named Imelda Staunton, great actress by the way!
@TheZipding Shakespear used the fool to poke fun at the nobility. He did that in many of his plays.
hey..is the woman at 3:02 Viola's nanny in "Shakespeare in love"??
Why does he stretch out the second verse of each rhyme? Was that a common musical practice four centuries ago?
Because it's not how _I_ read those lines.

Shakespeare wrote the music himself! But I believe the original was adapted for this movie

I love this Viola actress but Duke Orsino isn't exactly eye candy as a wealthy duke. Overall, this is the best interpretation of Twelfth Night!
Are you kidding? That's Toby Stephens 😮
@@GrainneMhaol I just looked him up outside of Twelfth Night and he actually looks a lot better now.
@@musiciangal02453 He's smoking when not troubled with dubious facial hair.
I am playing Feste in August
So it begins😁 Gyenjutsu
Ben Kingsley was feste the clown?!
I remember Reeve Carney's performance
Wait, what? He was in this?
Who plays feste in this version?
Ben Kingsley (I'm pretty sure that's how you spell his last name... I suck at spelling XD)
@TheZipding I think that's kinda the point.
@Metrotonic i prefer the disfiguring the goddess version
BARE TUNE
HOLY SHIT ITS UMBRIDGE.
And the Mandarin from Iron Man 3
🤣
Wish I could play that on piano
Why all the smoking? Funding from Big Tobacco?
Accuracy to the time period.
who said Shakespeare wasn't a fucking rock star
most metal gods wear tights anyway
Not me, him and Beethoven were both rock stars and the only reason the two of them weren't up to their necks in cocaine and strippers is because they hadn't been invented yet.

He's not? Do you know who sings it then?
I assure you, he IS singing.
it is Ben - don't know where the OP got the idea from that it wasn't Sir Ben.
he is singing! He sings in other movies as well
Meh.
