Review title: Ian McKellen is the perfect Richard
Product review: Right after I had seen the movie, I started wondering whether it was ok to create this Third Reich atmosphere for a Shakespeare play. Being German, I am quite sensitive when it comes to Nazi decorations and images. However, after reading loads of secondary literature on Richard III, I realized how close the image of Richard in Shakespeare's time was to our image of Hitler. The fact that Richard is a perfect Machiavelli-Charakter reveals best in this version and one can easily feel the terror that developed in the British's minds during Richard's rule. Still, there is a trace of sympathy which you will eventually feel for the character of the 'hunchback'. This shows a bit how little certain we can be whether Richard III actually was an evil man or whether he was only made an evil man by historians...All in all this movie is fantastic and the cast including Robert Downey jr. and Annette Bening is marvellous.
