Much Ado About Nothing - Sigh No More

[@KSangel180]

This is hands down my favorite of Shakespeare's play and the best movie adaptaion. I could go on all day!

[@RowanWiccae]

I could watch it over and over in the same day and not be sick of it, truly. It is a masterpiece. the cinematography is NOTHING to sneeze at.

[@selinesbeau]

The David Tennant and Catherine Tate play version is very good too.

[@KSangel180]

@@selinesbeau I'll have to check it out.

[@KSangel180]

@@RowanWiccae I hear you! Total masterpiece!

[@margaretlavender9647]

Most definitely!

[@stuykaterinaki]

this song is one of the most beautiful parts of this film, thank you so much for satisfying my cravings for it

[@ComputerTechnic217]

did you go to stuy?

[@zsoltkarpati1326]

And the true, honest feelings. Dignity, fearfulness. Where are these values now? To believe in a human being's honesty because you love her sister.And she was honest. You risk your friendships, your job as a soldier. Because you are in love.Shakespeare...

By my troth, a good song.

[@pandumations1387]

[@maryjenkins7969]

And a round of applause for the cinematographer who can do a full 360 degree shot without any break!

[@marckhachfe1238]

Not only that but ending at the right time. Lovely camera work and beautiful song

[@danielandlucycartoonsmadne5885]

This plus the ending take are my favorite shots in the whole film.

[@saldatuasalada]

Thank you too :) it´s a pleasure to find people who feels the same about this epic scene

[@cheerdown87]

Captures something that I can't quite put words to, an atmosphere that I have enjoyed not only in my readings of Shakespeare but of Cervantes as well.

[@Flies_the_limit]

So beautiful... something about the harmony being on the other side of the fountain touches me.. must have been such a treat to have been sitting between this... the whole scene is brilliant.. it's art.

[@DarthRevan53]

Ironically the song is all about how men suck and they're all like "Tis a good song!"

[@hotdog_gaming4]

the ironc thing is that you just helped me with a first question of some english homework

[@rebeccawest1912]

I love the fact it's men singing it and not women. "Yes girls, we are the worst" 😄

[@KSangel180]

@@rebeccawest1912 😆 and a man wrote it. 😎 Shakespeare knew what was up! Lol obligatory not all men.

[@julietardos5044]

But they're also saying, suck it up ladies, love us anyway.

[@europeanfootballbetting8659]

Women are exactly the same like men, this is a sexist song in the manner of the previous generations. Shakespeare will die with all the sexists, just like all the racist founders of USA will have to die

[@tuempelfrosch]

this song is one of those you won't forget, if once heard. One of my favourite films...

[@SN-nv5vd]

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more; Men were deceivers ever; One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never; Then sigh not so, But let them go, And be you blithe and bonny; Converting all your sounds of woe Into. Hey nonny, nonny. Sing no more ditties, sing no mo, Or dumps so dull and heavy; The fraud of men was ever so, Since summer first was leavy. Then sigh not so, But let them go, And be you blithe and bonny, Converting all your sounds of woe Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

[@Concepcion30]

Isn't the line, Since Summer first was leafy? What does leavy mean? hehe.

[@samni9068]

This song is literally the tale as old as time. We are still saying and singing the equivalent of this today

[@thmpis]

I frickin love this song, and this movie is awesome. Kenneth was great.

[@blubb4824]

I last saw this movie in the 90s, yesterday I found it on Amazon Prime Video (Germany) and I could still remember this tune even though I haven't heard it in over 20 years.

[@jessiereed4046]

Excellent rendition of the Shakespeare song. This is how I imagine the song to be when performed in Shakespeare’s day. Very different to modern music, but sweet to the ears of those willing to let the Muses work on their soul.

[@loico03]

How about some appreciation for the singer. Gosh, he's got a great voices, and a fantastic falsetto.

[@valeriepark9444]

Is that not Patrick Doyle the soundtrack composer?

[@ObscureAlex]

@@valeriepark9444 It is!

[@nellasisowath8662]

Toujours aussi romantique...quiétude et harmonie dans les voix et l'atmosphère. Ma scène préférée dans "Beaucoup de bruit pour rien." My favourite scene of "Much do About Nothing". Very elegant and so romantic ! Thank you for sharing. ^_^

[@icecreamtub123]

XD i couldnt stop laughing when benedick was going to walk away and then suddely shouted OH GOD HERE COME'S BEATRICE...probably because of his personality lol

[@WillScarlet16]

Is it not strange that sheep's guts should hale souls out of men's bodies?

[@manchestertart5614]

The plucking of the lute strings, being made of guts,makes music that stirs emotions. Even in the strongest of men.

Thank you so much for taking time to upload this.....

[@homonnaizsolt]

this movie will live in me for ever.thanx for the vid

[@sunnchilde]

If you could live at the beautiful estate where this was filmed, would you ever leave?! I would have my mail forwarded, send for my dog and call my boss and say "I quit!" And then I would learn how to grow olives and lose myself during the day in that maze garden with a comfortable chair and my favorite book and a cold glass of cold lemonade. haha

[@CHANGYANA]

i agree! such a beautiful song and beautiful voice!

[@mizjohs]

Did you know that Stanley Silverman, the guy who composed the song for this movie, is also the lead singer? He's standing next to the Friar playing the guitar. What talent!

[@graysonbaker1744]

That's Patrick Doyle. I'm sorry, but that is an inexcusable offense to mistake Patrick Doyle, the Avatar (incarnation) of Apollo himself, for some other mortal composer! IT IS BLASPHEMY TO COMMIT SUCH AND EGREGIOUS CRIME!!!!!!! So in the future, remember if Branagh Directed it, the music was probably by Doyle

[@ellendeaton6093]

That the song continues in popularity is testament to, I think, it's lustrous melody but also to the age-old fact that men tend to be unfaithful and that women must overcome by blithely going forward.

hey does anyone know the reason why Don Pedro chooses this song and what effect it has on the overall mood of the play at this moment?

[@franniesbooksandadventures7607]

Wobrote I don’t know the reason, but my guess is that so Benedick would reflect on what Beatrice might be feeling as to why she “could not tell Benedick” of her feelings and so make the move
