2、mpelling and handsomely filmed version of the Bards tragicomic play features a superlative cast headed by Oscar winners Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons. They, along with Joseph Fiennes and luminously gifted newcomer Lynn Collins, command the screen in The Merchant of Venice, which marks the first time th
3、e director of Il Postino has ever tackled Shakespeare. And while his traditional approach to the play may lack the cinematic dazzle of Baz Luhrmanns contemporary spin on Romeo + Juliet, theres nothing static or overly stagy about Radfords The Merchant of Venice.Filmed on location, The Merchant of Ve
4、nice transports you back to the 16th century, when the citys vilified Jewish community was ghettoized. Shunned, even spat upon by the Venetian nobles and merchants, the Jewish moneylender Shylock (Pacino) has built a sizable fortune through usury. Although the merchant Antonio (Irons) despises Shylo
5、ck, he nonetheless goes to him on behalf of his debt-ridden friend Bassanio (Fiennes)。 To woo the beautiful and fabulously rich Portia (Collins)， Bassanio needs money. Since Antonio is momentarily low on funds, he borrows it from Shylock. But if Antonio fails to repay the loan by a set date, Shylock
6、 will take payment in the form of a pound of flesh from Antonios chest.Over Bassanios objections, Antonio accepts Shylocks offer. Meanwhile, as Bassanio sets sail for Portias island home, Shylocks world begins to crumble. His beloved daughter Jessica (Zuleika Robinson) renounces her faith to run awa

Feeling betrayed and abandoned, Shylock focuses all his hurt and anger on Antonio, his longtime foe. When Antonio cannot pay the loan on time, Shylock therefore ignores entreaties to be merciful. I
8、t appears only a miracle can save the merchant, who is bound by law to honor the grisly terms of Shylocks loan.Aside from a 1973 film starring Laurence Olivier, filmmakers have shied away from this daunting mix of pathos and comedy, which has also been criticized as anti-Semitic. And on a cursory le

Yet he is ultimately a far more sympathetic and complex figure, whose actions are understandable, given the persecution he endures. Shylock may seem ruthless, greedy and vengeful, but hes also tragica proud man trying to asser
10、t himself in the face of blatant prejudice. In one of Shakespeares most famous speeches, Shylock turns on his oppressors and asks at one point, “If you prick us, do we not bleed?” Its a mesmerizing, intensely felt plea for respect that Pacino performs brilliantly, his voice a mixture of hurt and pen
11、t-up rage.Speaking of Pacino, he admirably resists the urge to go his usual histrionic route in The Merchant of Venice. In recent years, hes degenerated into something of a self-parodya loud ham who seemed intent on screaming his way through a movie. Thankfully, the Shakespeare devotee (Looking for
12、Richard) appears to have rediscovered subtlety and nuance in acting. Hes forceful and magnetic without being showy.Like Roy Cohn, whom Pacino plays superbly in Angels in America, Shylock is a bravura role that could easily be played as a villain, but as he did with Cohn, Pacino manages to find trace

Looking like she stepped out of a Renaissance painting, this prodigiously talented American actress has a musical voice
14、and intelligence similar to Cate Blanchett. Shes immensely charming and spirited in the comic scenes at her island home, where a parade of would-be suitors tries to win her hand (and fortune)。 She also doesnt shrink from going head-to-head with Pacino in the courtroom scene that brings The Merchant
