Action Drama History Thriller

7.2 / 10

War begets revenge. Victorious general, Titus Andronicus, returns to Rome with hostages: Tamora queen of the Goths and her sons. He orders the eldest hewn to appease the Roman dead. He declines the proffered emperor's crown, nominating Saturninus, the last ruler's venal elder son. Saturninus, to spite his brother Bassianus, demands the hand of Lavinia, Titus's daughter. When Bassianus, Lavinia, and Titus's sons flee in protest, Titus stands against them and slays one of his own. Saturninus marries the honey-tongued Tamora, who vows vengeance against Titus. The ensuing maelstrom serves up tongues, hands, rape, adultery, racism, and Goth-meat pie. There's irony in which two sons survive.

Because it's hard to get mass-appeal for Shakespeare, let alone the most fucked up thing he ever wrote. - @Saturday, September 28, 2013 5:27 PM

This is a brutal play, and if any one could turn it into stunning beauty, Julie Taymor could and did! Love this movie! Haven't seen it in a while so a revisit is in order. Of all of Shakespeare's plays this was more or less his foray into splatter horror--- - @Wednesday, August 28, 2013 8:50 PM

When Shakespeare's plays were first performed, all the costumes and sets were also anachronistic. I believe that directors make these decisions to represent how the themes that Shakespeare wrote about survived to the present day. - @Friday, August 16, 2013 2:34 AM

No-one knows for definite what order he wrote his plays in, but its generally agreed among scholars that Henry VI I-III was written before Titus Andronicus - @Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:21 PM

To be fair to them, Shakespeare used lots of sexual jokes, toilet humour, and swearing in his plays. OTOH, his were clever, the ones in this comments section are not. - @Saturday, October 6, 2012 1:45 AM

Blurry trailer but good interpretation. Anyone who can't see past the violence to the underlying philosophy is too well coddled and probably prefers to ignore the unclean roots of civilization, even in the present day. - @Saturday, September 15, 2012 1:32 AM

The whole point of the film is that it's from the point of view of a child playing with his toys, which is why the film starts out with the child. That's the basic explanation for all the mixed-up stuff, because the kid is playing with all different kinds of toys. - @Tuesday, May 15, 2012 12:56 AM

@carriegardner1 Shakespeare got the idea from The Bible Book of Speaking in Beef Tongues written by Hannibal Lechter. You cannot read Shakeys in a Lawrence Welk Champagne Bubble Hour. That's why Dian Fossey took a bubble bath with her boyfriend before she sayonara-ed him in favor of her greatest love, the mountain gorillas of Ruwanda. Greater love hath no Man than the lady who gave her life for Our Kissin' Cousins, the mountain gorillas. Not even the FBI tried to find her killer. Shame on you. - @Tuesday, October 4, 2011 8:35 PM
