Today marks the birthday (AND passing) of one of the worlds greatest literary figures, William Shakespeare. And to celebrate, may I suggest one of my favorites from director Kenneth Branagh, "Much Ado About Nothing." One of the more underrated movies and plays, this one I saw as a budding young actor and enjoyed the wonderful, playful performances of these fine actors. Everyone looked like they were having a great time and it is indeed a charming comedy. Shakespeare may not be as popular as it once was decades ago, and certainly not as popular CENTURIES ago, but the legacy lives on and it's important to younger generations to watch modern interpretations as a way of enjoying the entertainment of our ancestors.
My goblet is raised high for The Bard! Huzzah!
