Twelfth Night (1996) - O Mistress Mine

[@weberockinyo]

This is SUCH a fantastic rendition of the play. The way the director blended these scenes is nothing short of art.

[@bananiadhikari7116]

He is the most handsome Cesario I have ever seen. She/he truly looks like a man, a very attractive man I must say. When I look at him and his manly behavior, I understand how Olivia fell in love with him ❤❤

[@jordanrehbock5552]

I love the way they play out this song in this production. This song just sticks in my mind and I can't get rid of it. It's a bit of a haunting tune. It's cool how you can EITHER choose a "love song or a song of good life." It's like they're not compatible lol. It's interesting how when Feste gets to "Youth's a stuff will not endure" you see the reaction of Sir Toby and you know shit just got real.

[@missydunn2410]

Feste too, reacts sadly.

[@rkt739]

I think the original joke is that Feste says “a song of good life” and means “a song about having fun,” but Sir Andrew misinterprets it to mean “a song about being well-behaved,” which he doesn't enjoy.

[@Skruttangel]

best part is when Imelda Staunton joins in on the singing...Love it

[@cuitlamcuautencos8306]

Yeah, that was always my favorite part in this scene. Even my dad was surprised, thought Imelda Staunton had a beautiful voice.

[@Irie1992]

I think i'm obsessed with harmony in music. been dreaming of this song since i first watched the movie....such chills...

[@Powerhauler]

I can't stop watching Twelfth Night... Always my favorite .

[@okittykat101o5]

O Mistress mine where are you roaming? O stay and hear, your true love's coming, That can sing both high and low. Trip no further pretty sweeting. Journeys end in lovers' meeting, Every wise man's son doth know. What is love, 'tis not hereafter, Present mirth, hath present laughter: What's to come, is still unsure. In delay there lies no plenty, Then come kiss me sweet and twenty: Youth's a stuff will not endure.

i thought romeo and juliet was my favourite Shakespeare play + love story!!! This movie totally totally changed my mind! I absolutely adore it. Everything from the plot to the acting to the music. It's so charming.

[@celticpoet21]

I love this too. if I may, if you havn't watched it already, I highly recommend A Midsummer Night's dream, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Klein, Christian Bale and Stanley Tucci. Its just outstanding including lovely (opera) music as well.

[@sumirei001]

This is my favourite version of the play=D

[@worthingSarah]

written that way to follow the historic role of the fool in the royal court - the only one who could always speak truth to the king with impunity even when criticising - because it could be written off as 'only the fool speaking'

[@Afalstein]

The prince's lines hit harder than they used to. Men's fancies are easily lost, women's looks do not last. Not universally true, to be certain, especially today when compared to four centuries ago. But still common, and something I've seen in the marriages of friends who loved each other deeply when they married--and who still do, in a fashion, but struggle to maintain the mutual attraction. I have heard, of course, that the adrenaline attraction of marriage gives way eventually to a new attraction resting on familiarity and comfort. But it can be hard for a couple, however loving, to make it through that middle period of transition.

[@thessie]

I utterly adore this scene and how they chose to portray it in the movie. This is pretty much my favourite version of "O Mistress Mine". Does anyone know if it's available on a soundtrack?

[@grump9001]

This movie helped me to realize my bisexuality as a 10 year old, a bit after the movie came out, though it very much confused me because while I knew about gay people, I didn't understand you could like BOTH. I thought wow, there's something bizarrely wrong with me, how can I be both straight and gay? It took years, but I got there eventually. Now I look back on this movie. I love it so so much for everything about it.

[@KCBfly25]

This is by far my fav. Shake-speare play! And I love Ben Kingsley as Feste.

[@chicknnuggets9369]

[@nippyay]

"Youth's a stuff will not endure."

[@eclecticism3086]

Thou dost speak masterly.

[@tangoseven70]

"Youth's that stuff will not endure..." Kingsley's Feste seems particularly angered by that sentiment; the emotion shows in her voice. Yet at other times this production's Feste seems so coolly superior to all the action that swirls around him. I wonder what Trevor Nunn and Kingsley imagine happened to Feste in his youth. Are there any hints at other moments in the play or movie?

[@blarghness]

@Nocturnelova I could not agree with you more. The best version in existence. :)

[@lavadodhugo5181]

very nice.

[@MrJacobnp12185]

In truth, it is not so ironic that the fool would be the smartest person in the play, but I believe what you mean is the most knowledgeable, not the smartest. Fools, after all, were constantly around and more than any other role, were commonly overlooked by the nobles. Not unlike television set, or a radio and you don't care what THEY hear you say do you? Fools were the same, and that's why Festes knows so much about everyone.

It's hard to find because apparently it's been out of print for a while, but places like Thriftbook and Ebay sometimes have copies for sale just make sure they're the right region or it won't play in your DVD player,, new one's are made in South Korea and can be ordered online it just takes a few weeks to get it, you have to turn off the subtitles and although the aspect ratio is correct it appears that they took a VHS Full Screen version and shaved off the top and bottom to give it the theatrical aspect ratio. But it's still great, best version of a Shakespeare play ever put to screen.

In his final song, Feste sings "by swaggering could I never thrive" suggesting that he was untrue to a past partner and is therefore rueful.

It's not really so ironic. After all, fools were always around and were commonly overlooked by the nobles and gentry in much the same way that we would overlook a television set or a radio. Heard the saying "if walls could talk?" Fools were merely a part of the background, expected to be there, but not always to be used and so he is privy to more information than others. Not SMARTER, per say, but no doubt more knowledgeable of ongoing events.

Why does he stretch out the second verse of each rhyme? Was that a common musical practice four centuries ago? Because it's not how _I_ read those lines.

[@Afalstein]

I mean, they didn't wear suits and military uniforms like that either. Like many adaptations, this movie continues Shakespeare's own practice of not limiting itself to the period the play sets itself in. Shakespeare was originally performed just in contemporary Elizabethan costume, whether they were supposedly in ancient Rome or ancient Scotland, so many adaptations feel free to adapt his lines to whatever time period they see fit. Including the songs.
