Watch: Twelfth Night 1996 123movies, Full Movie Online – Brother and sister Viola and Sebastian, who are not only very close but look a great deal alike, are in a shipwreck, and both think the other dead. When she lands in a foreign country, Viola dresses as her brother and adopts the name Cesario, becoming a trusted friend and confidante to the Count Orsino. Orsino is madly in love with the lady Olivia, who is in mourning due to her brother’s recent death, which she uses as an excuse to avoid seeing the count, whom she does not love. He sends Cesario to do his wooing, and Olivia falls in love with the disguised maiden. Things get more complicated in this bittersweet Shakespeare comedy when a moronic nobleman, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and a self-important servant, Malvolio, get caught up in the schemes of Olivia’s uncle, the obese, alcoholic Sir Toby, who leads each to believe Olivia loves him. As well, Sebastian surfaces in the area, and of course there is Feste, the wise fool, around to keep everything in perspective and to marvel, like we the audience, at the amazing things happening all around..
Plot: Shakespeare’s comedy of gender confusion, in which a girl disguises herself as a man to be near the count she adores, only to be pursued by the woman he loves.

or, What They Won’t
In William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” (or, “What You Will”), brother and sister twins “Viola” and “Sebastian” are shipwrecked off the shores of “Illyria”. “Viola” mistakenly thinks brother “Sebastian” has drowned. She goes to “Illyria” alone; and, she assumes the identity of a young man, “Cesario”. In “Illyria”, “Cesario” (“Viola”) gets a job as gentleman (dresser) for the duke “Orsino”. Male (female) “Cesario” (“Viola”) falls in love with (male) “Orsino”. But, he loves another woman, “Olivia”. Meanwhile, “Olivia” falls in love with the female twin “Cesario” (“Viola”), thinking she is a male. Then, real male twin “Sebastian” returns, undead!

Then, all’s well that ends well.

The supporting characters in director Trevor Nunn’s cinematic version are all right (actually, they come off better, due to the overall execution of the film). But, mainly, it’s about Imogen Stubbs (as Viola aka Cesario), and her interaction with Toby Stephens (as Orsino) and Helena Bonham Carter (as Olivia). This “Twelfth Night” is very well produced. It seems much more dramatic than comic, which is most obvious in the tone-setting opening. The supporting characters and subplots retain the more comic flavor, though. This portends a promising adaptation.

But, the film doesn’t really end up as you like it.

Ms. Stubbs becomes an endearing “Viola”. Both Stubbs and Mr. Stephens, and Stubbs and Ms. Bonham Carter are fun to watch “fall in love”. The sexual dynamics work; interestingly, each of the performers add some subtleties. Film, of course, picks up its own (different than stage) nuances. The already shaky premise falls apart, however, when “Sebastian” returns; and, the performers lose credibility very quickly. Originally, a male would more convincingly play BOTH twins. It would have been better to have Stubbs (or even Steven Mackintosh) play both roles. This film points in the right direction; but, next time, either go all the way, or leave “Twelfth Night” on the stage.
