Synopsis

Watch: The Tempest 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – In Writer, Producer, and Director Julie Taymor’s version of “The Tempest”, the main character is now a woman named Prospera (Dame Helen Mirren). Going back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor’s version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it’s a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda (Felicity Jones). This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban (Djimon Hounsou) and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect..
Plot: An adaptation of the play by William Shakespeare. Prospera (a female version of Shakespeare’s Prospero) is the usurped ruler of Milan who has been banished to a mysterious island with her daughter. Using her magical powers, she draws her enemies to the island to exact her revenge.

Reviews:

Dame Helen reigns supreme
In casting Helen Mirren as Prospera, director Julie Taymor adds an interesting spin to this Shakespeare adaptation.

Also CGI effects help make more sense of the story.

On the downside, film versions of the bard’s plays rarely work perfectly (with the honourable exception of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet) and unless you know the play already, the action here is pretty hard to follow. Also, it’s a bit strange seeing comic genius Alan Cumming in a straight role.

Ultimately though, the main joy of the movie is Dame Helen. She does bitterness superbly. I loved the scene when Miranda first meets Ferdinand – Mirren’s ironic commentary added a whole new dimension to the play for me.

I also loved Tony Conti as the aged senator Gonzalo. His performance is so masterful it puts his character at the forefront of the story for once – no bad thing.

Overall I think Shakespeare fans will really enjoy this film. Other people may be left a little bored and bewildered.

Intriguing concept that didn’t work for me
The Tempest (2010/I) was directed by Julie Taymor, who also wrote the screenplay. (The play was, of course, written by William Shakespeare.)

There is a long tradition of women playing male roles in Shakespeare’s plays. The great Sarah Bernhardt played Hamlet in the 19th Century, and at Stratford, Ontario, Seanna McKenna played Richard III. (I saw McKenna in Richard III, and she was incredible.)

However, for this Tempest, Julie Taymor directs Helen Mirren as Prospera, a woman, rather than Prospero, a man. Mirren is such a superb actor that I think she could have played Prospero, but that isn’t what happened.

Changing the gender of the principal character in your story is a risky business. The whole concept of The Tempest is that Prospero was the Duke of Milan. He wasn’t Duchess of Milan. On the island where he is marooned, Prospero is lord and master. His relationship with Miranda is one of father and daughter. It’s hard to think of Prospero as a woman.

Having seen The Tempest many times, I’ve come to expect an older male actor playing the role. (The classic Shakespearean progression is Romeo to Hamlet to Macbeth to Lear and Prospero.) So, despite Mirren’s skills, I simply couldn’t adjust to a woman in the part.

Also, of course, the relationship between father and daughter and mother and daughter is often very different. So, changing Prospero’s name to Prospera isn’t just a matter of a name. It’s made The Tempest into a very different story. And, in my opinion, it’s definitely not the story that Shakespeare wrote.

Although I have a high regard for both Helen Mirren and Julie Taymor, I think this was a concept that just didn’t work. Directors and actors have always modified Shakespeare according to their thoughts about what the plays mean. You can push and stretch a Shakespearean play a long, long way, and still have it be Shakespeare. However, in this case, it’s not Shakespeare, it’s Taymor. It’s an interesting movie, but It’s not the Tempest.

At the time I wrote this review, the IMDb rating for the movie was 5.4. I’ve never seen a serious film with this low a rating. Apparently, almost no one liked the concept. I gave the film a rating of 7.0. It’s not great cinema, but it’s better than a 5.4.
