Much Ado About Nothing
In 1993, director/actor Kenneth Branagh created an adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play Much Ado About Nothing. The film sported an all-star cast including director Kenneth Branagh, Kate Beckinsale, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves. This film was received well mainly because of Branagh’s ability to create a Shakespearean performance that everyone can relate to and enjoy. I especially enjoyed Reeves’s performance in this mainly because it was so different than his normal “Sad Keanu” persona that we’ve all come to know. The actors chosen for this film seemed almost cherry picked for their parts and complimented the vibe of the story perfectly both cosmetically and theatrically.
