why is this clearly the best of the three modern adaptations and yet the one that has fizzled into obscurity?

Titus is difficult to adapt since it's so dark and ludicrous.
it flopped at the box office, and Shakespeare is too high-brow to put on daytime cable so it didn't build word of mouth over time the way other brilliant flops like Shawshank Redemption did
it's always been one of his less-liked plays.
>it flopped at the box office
yes although it only opened in like five theaters.
lmao, Shakespeare was low-brow in its time. Filled with smut. Imagine 400 years from now people calling Game of Thrones too high-brow to show anymore.
anon ALL the Titus adaptations fizzled into obscurity.
whats the name of that color?
No idea
>t. ancient greek
real nerd hours
cobalt blue
Woad?
Almost certainly. I don't know the story, but I recognize the woad.
aquamarine
turkroach
Ultramarine maybe. Like those totally shitty guys in WH40K.
Azure maybe?
What are the other two? (Also, that version sucks.)
dicaprio and the ian mckellen one
Even the play has been shat on for fashion for hundreds of years.
not even shakespeare play is a hit. he shat them out at a prodigious rate and titus adronicus just doesn’t have that much going for it
It is no different from Game of Thrones and yet GoT was hailed as a modern day masterpiece.
its literally oldboy i guess people only like revenge stories when its done by asiatics
I'm afraid I blue myself
he blue himself
>1999

Because it's a weird movie based on a weird play.
I didn't "get" it.
here's how to make it better
Why isn't he smiling about them. Is he gay?
>Titus
>The fall of an empire
Why are they like this? There is still the 5 good emperors after this dynasty.
At least google before flaunting your impotent history wiener. It has nothing to do with Vespasians. It's a complete Shakespearian fiction. One of his first revenge play that people still argue was a parody of the entire sub genre.
>people still argue was a parody of the entire sub genre.
Do you agree with this? Because a few of his stories seem more like a kind of mockery than a serious/invested take on the subject. He seemed like he was quite catty at times, but liked to dress his burns up in a deniable way.
I liked this movie a lot. Every character is a caniving bastard and it relies on exploitation for shock value. This Shakespeare guy was ahead of his time. Richard III is also really good.
i get my news from trusted news sources
The best modern adaptation of TA is Scott Tenorman Must Die.
po-titus.
You just reminded me of how based the score is
In your opinion, what's the central "meme" or idea of this story?
Because I've never heard one applied to it.
More popular Shakespeare stuff tends to have at a least a very basic broad central idea that attracts people (and with the people come the critiques and cultural gatekeepers who attempt hijack and rewrite the popular viewpoint as their own viewpoint).
>its literally oldboy
This is interesting.
The theme is "don't be a dick".
For me it's the Cymbeline... with bikers.
Ed Harris Motorcycle Shakespeare
and it's kino.
