    A Shakespeare Drama

    For Anthony Hopkins legendary characterised and lived his role again from the begining to the end of the film and the scenes colorfull convert from white to black scenes also darkness scenes at the end...As also the phsycological feelings convert from life to death.I think this is the main success of director.
