🕑 Added 2022-01-18 05:08:00 +0000 UTClol...here are some stills from a homework assignment I had in college 13 years ago. After watching the latest Macbeth, I couldn't help but be reminded of it. The assignment was to direct a scene from any Shakespeare play, and interpret it anyway we want, so long as the dialogue remains the same. I was a lazy student so...I recorded the scene on my phone and had my younger brother do the "To be or not to be" speech from Hamlet. Also...I didn't feel like coming up with a concept, so I just made it black and white, and added some Jonny Greenwood and Herrmann scoring in there to give it an unnerving and brooding mood. We also had to do a little write-up explaining our POV and why we chose our interpretations. I basically said that the black and white minimalism allows the words and timeless nature of the themes to be showcased properly. Utter bullshit...I was feeding my professor pretentious nonsense in the hopes that he would buy it. Turns out he did. Got an A on it. Not proud of it. >< But yeah, with that in mind....review for Macbeth will be made public soon. ;)

Sweet. I once had a class on critical theory and analysis and all of us had to pick a film of our choice to write several essays on over the course of the semester using theories from the class textbook. Several people were choosing Marvel movies and other popular stuff. I chose one of my favorite underrated films ever. It was The Nun's Story by Fred Zinnemann and starring Audrey Hepburn. I knew there was so much depth, complexity, and mystery to the film that I didn't hesitate at all to choose it. After final exams, I ended up with an A- and an even greater understanding and admiration of the film overall. It was one of my favorite assignments I ever had in college.

...also, my brother never actually learned the entire speech. We just taped it to the wall and he read it as he spoke, Marlon Brando-style hahaha
