You may be the fate of Ophelia
Sleeping and perchance to dream
Honest to the point of recklessness
Self-centred to the extreme
Rey as Ophelia in a complete retelling from her perspective. Daisy is a redhead, a lady in waiting to Queen Naomi Watts (in a dual role). George MacKay from 1917 is the Ham. HP factor 1 for Draco as Laertes. And Clive Owen as the wicked Claudius. It's okay. Daisy can act well enough to be the next Natalie Portman and when she smiles, those dimples, it's all over. Nice costumes and castles. I do like MacKay - he's really growing on me. It's a multiracial Hamlet, which kinda works because although it's period, the costumes betray an anachronistic stylishness that makes it eternal. I mean it's clearly not Denmark, but it is rotten.
Stylistically, it all falls out of Millais' famous Ophelia painting, as that is referenced in many scenes. It's as if the director wanted to explain that painting in depth and came up with this alternate timeline tale for Ophelia.
Sword fights! Yeah, Willy the Shakes has some good sword fights staged, and Hamlet has some solid pivotal ones. Enjoyable choreography, not spectacular but served their purpose. Stacy said she enjoyed them and that they were just the right length, not the whole movie. I replied that they were satisfactory and agreed that swordfights shouldn't take up the whole movie. There should be some time for credits.
Not particularly DOOM recommended unless you're a Rey fan (all the women of Star Wars had me at 'Hello there')
