Oh, Bilbo, it was nice seeing you again.
Bilbo (aka Ian Holm) was in Henry V. I knew it! I recognized his eyes and his mouth, and his funny facial gestures. It’s funny how that doesn’t change for some actors.
And Emma Thompson looked so different. :O It was strange! And she does French well. And I’m sorry, but I could barely take Henry V seriously because when he got so animated all I could think of was his silly Lockheart character.
Man.
I really liked the end of the movie though. I do think it will help us to understand Hamlet a bit better. A little context never hurt.
Unrelated, but sort of literary point… I went into Chapters and came out with nothing. /Nothing/. I was thinking of buying this Ray Bradbury book that looked interesting, but the first few pages didn’t sell it to me, and then I was thinking about The Road (because I love a nice postapocalyptic story), but I didn’t get swept up by that either. And then they didn’t have In the Skin of a Lion, which I want to buy and own so I can read it all the time.
Kind of disappointing.
