you are sure pleasant nice...... I am pleasant. I am nice. I also see that this Shakespeare thread is all about one character from one play. I tried steering the conversation to Macbeth or to Richard III....but, nope, all anybody wants to talk about is Iago. I suggest you change the title of this thread from 'Anyone Wanna Discuss Shakespeare' to 'Anyone Wanna Discuss Iago.' Life doesn't always go Marco's way. Even Iago would know this. It's ok if right now one character is the focus of the conversation. It's better than just jumping from topic to topic.

This was (is) a film site, so how about Shakespeare on film that you feel is the best?
Two types, really. 1. Film using Shakespeare's text. 2. Open interpretation.
1. Best is Peter Brook's 1971 KING LEAR. So bleak, so cold, so austere. There is no warmth at all in this film...and that works perfectly for the telling of this Lear. The black and white is perfect. The Denmark location is perfect. Paul Scofield as Lear is perfect. His reading of the "Reason not the need" monologue is about as good as it can get when it comes to Shakespeare on film. Extreme close-ups, unsteady camera, focus gets lost...all very unsettling and you top that off with Scofield's deliveries...brilliant stuff.
Starts at 0:55. The general feel of this for me captures the bleakest of all plays.
