At school we are doing a Macbeth play from shakepeare
What a fab vid! Hope there’s more to come!
I wrote an essay on luhrmann's romeo + juliet and despite that it still remains my favourite movie – for the soundtrack, the imagery and it was so interesting to hear someone else interpret the movie. I loved this!!
You've all twisted our arm – we've got another reaction video with Emma coming next week!
I really want to see more of her! Such an intelligent woman, those nineteen minutes felt like five.
She reminded me of my Shakespeare class at uni, and made me want to watch all the movies again!
This video just saved my day ❤️
More of this!!
This was delightful! I love Emma Smith's other academic work, and I'm looking forward to reading her book soon.
i enjoyed this so much! it was like going to a very entertaining, informative, fun lecture
Woow. This is fantastic.
Oh this was a TREAT! I would love to see more of these! I also feel horribly foolish for not knowing that Taymor took on "The Tempest"! I loved her work on Titus.
This is wonderful – I'd love to see more!
Please make this a series! With so many movie adaptions out there it would be very entertaining to watch.
