TNA, interesting link, Shakespeare Meme
May. 28th, 2012 06:30 pm( TNA - the best description seems to be one step forward, one step back )
Link Britain's Hidden Homeless written by Speech Debelle - Many people equate homelessness with sleeping rough, but life is also a struggle for those who have to live on friends' sofas or in hostels

After some delay Day #19: Your favorite movie version of a play
The Branagh "Hamlet" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116477/
Mostly because it gives the whole play with a minimum of alterations to the script as she is written. And it's full of actors who I can hear and don't mumble. This is how little I ask of things.
And it does it with style and brio and good fight choreography and nice sets and clothes. And good actors. I find that helps too :)
Also, Branagh's Hamlet is wonderful. As I've said before, the difficulty of the play is that Hamlet is often a jerk, and Branagh's portrayal shows you the Princeling growing up before your eyes, so you're actually sad by the end.
I love it so very much.
The other option is 'Shakespeare: The Animated Tales' - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147788/ Which I have on DVD at home home and was one of the best £50 I ever spent. The animation is wonderful, so is the voice acting, and the adaptations are done well, keeping the spirit of the stories while condensing them.
