Shakespeare question (non-educational purpose)

[evolvedbullet]

Has he ever done any "Action" plays? I know he made Tragedies, Comedies, and Suspenseful plays but what about pure action?

 

[djheater]

Shakespeare's plays are usually categorized as Tragedies, Comedies and Histories.

I'm not sure what you mean by Action play. Is that term defined somewhere?

His rendition of "Hamlet Returns, This time it is personal" is perhaps the most brutally violent play I have ever seen. I didn't even know you could rip out a human heart legally on screen, but there it was. Each director seems to one up each other at the violence level too.

For sure, what lack of thinking. When you hear the Elizabethan writers guild is considering going on strike, all i can think is "you mean people are still writing this crap?".

What did you think of him picking up juliet near the end of the second sequel. I was like comeon, what is this a jane austin romantic comedy? PLEASE.

Wait for Michael Bay doing Hamlet. Otherwise no, there were not a lot of car chases in the 1600's

ha, I never made the Austin connection, but yeah, I guess heathered moors are not really an Elsinore thing, are they?

While he had some early successes I think we can agree that his later work was really derivative of the Romantics.

:beer: cheers to you, I'm off work now so it's time to go home to watch The Fast and The Furious 4 : Taming of the Shrew. I hear there are hawt chicks in that one, but they are all kinda crazy.

<---Theatre Major.

[BooGiMaN]

i think he did "Thy Matrix"


Whilst thou taketh the blue pill or whilst thou taketh the red pill?

Unfortunately, no one canst be told what the Matrix is. Thou hast to see it for thy ownself!

Maester Anderson!



the bullet time stuff kind of sucked though...you could totally see the ropes and pulleys and stuff...

 

[Epic Fail]

Romeo and Juliet, there are some sword fights in it.

What's with the 'h' in "whilst"? Also, I've never heard of "wilst". "Wilt" might work.

Methinks the OP hast never read descriptions of the bards historical plays done in period. Blood and gore with derring do performed with gusto and panache were stock in trade.
