this be an interesting adaption of william shakespeare last know solo play but in my humble opinion and a terrible one . jarman try to change the personality of the character for a start . he make miranda seem insane after be stick on the island for so long and prospero be no different a mix of madness and self pity on his part . i could not imagine shakespeare think his character to be anything like the way jarman portraits them . caliban appearance be maybe the only thing he get right and but then again and i be under the impression that caliban be a tormented and deformed monster but turn out to be an insane rambling and northerner who be constantly cackle and not a i would have imagine him . ferdinand make a brief appearance and naked most the time and quiet . in fact and to the point i stop watch this awful adaption and their have be so many line cut from the play . if anything and i think jarman be try to re write shakespeare and include his own scene most the time . so much text be cut out in the first part it make it not a shakespeare play and but a load of 70 melodramatic and preposterous rubbish . an attempt to interpret this play more realistically in the end and but this play be never a realistic one and it be make nothing like the text display it to be .
