She should have never been a teacher. If the other English teachers I'd had through high school had been the same, I wonder if I'd have enjoyed the Bard.<br /><br />She is, however, the reason I still don't like Romeo & Juliet... honestly, the woman drained the life out of the play entirely!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-11682531477349544122012-03-11T22:11:12.684-04:002012-03-11T22:11:12.684-04:00Hilarious!

I am familiar with the St. Crispin's Day speech since I've taught English 12 and it's often used in our departmental practice exams here in BC.

His take on the Non Nobis Domine scene, mixed with the film footage, is one of the most powerful film sequences I've ever seen.<br /><br />I posted that over at facebook earlier... and something I didn't know came up in the credits for the link. Christian Bale, who I've seen in the movie periodically, is actually the body Branagh carries through that sequence.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-60734441234481097872012-03-11T13:56:41.538-04:002012-03-11T13:56:41.538-04:00William, you always teach us something new!
