1993 Directed by Kenneth Branagh
In this Shakespearean farce, Hero and her groom-to-be, Claudio, team up with Claudio's commanding officer, Don Pedro, the week before their wedding to hatch a matchmaking scheme. Their targets are sharp-witted duo Benedick and Beatrice -- a tough task indeed, considering their corresponding distaste for love and each other. Meanwhile, meddling Don John plots to ruin the wedding.

denzel washington riding a horse while wearing leather pants is the hottest fucking thing i've ever seen
i want emma-thompson-beatrice’s life so bad.... scampering through the hills of italy in white dresses! beautiful eyes! eating fruit and laughing at men!
keanu reeves gives the stalest performance of his life knowing he looks sexy anway...we let hot people get away with a lot
this adaptation is mostly cute but misses the point, failing to critique messina's violent misogyny. most of the audience come out of this film thinking keanu’s (undeniably) shitty performance is what makes don john such a weak villain, but the whole point is that he is a weak villain— he doesn’t need to be anything more. he just whispers suggestions/conjures mundane trickery for these “good men”, then their hateful prejudice sweeps them up and takes control. they leap from loving these women to being at their throats, hating them within seconds because they always hated them. the real turning point should be when beatrice forces benedick to confront these issues within himself/his peers, but even that is downplayed in this version. what else could we expect from the guy who cheated on emma thompson? 🤷🏾♀️
i could watch emma thompson effortlessly quipping and wittily insulting men forever
i’m going to get a still of the scene where keanu and denzel are riding horses tattooed on my lower back
keanu singlehandedly trying to destroy hetero marriage we had no choice but to stan
Claudio: "Oh my God! My wife is cheating on me! What should I do?"
Shoulder Angel and Shoulder Devil appear.
Shoulder Angel: "You should approach her immediately and explain you want to call off the wedding because you saw her cheating."
Shoulder Devil: "I got two good reasons why you shouldn't listen to Shoulder Angel. First of all, look at him... he's wearing a dress."
Shoulder Angel: "It's a robe!"
Shoulder Devil: "Second, you should pretend everything is fine until the wedding. Then you can call her a whore and hit her in front of her friends and family."
Claudio: "Wouldn't addressing it now be easie..."
Shoulder Angel: "No no no, he's got a point."
