"King Lear" is a Drama - History movie in which we watch a king making some bad choices after inviting his daughters to divide and distribute his kingdom to them. He keeps the wrong ones close to them while he rejects the ones who loves him and care the most for him.
I liked this adaptation of William Shakespeare's play and I found very interesting the way Richard Eyre used it. He succeeded on creating a nice result, creating the correct environment and atmosphere in order for the audience to feel and understand better the concept of the movie. The interpretations of Anthony Hopkins who played as King Lear, Emma Thompson who played as Goneril, Florence Pugh who played as Cordelia and Jim Broadbent who played as Earl of Gloucester helped the movie to become greater than what already was. To sum up, I have to say that "King Lear" is a different and sure not for everyone so, I recommend anyone who is really interested to watch it.
