and agreed, the text is so impenetrable that I found myself just "switching off" and enjoy the scenery in this filmWhat might salvage this on DVD would be a choice of alternative narrative tracks; like Eubonics, Gangsta Rap, Noo Yawk + Noo Jawsey-eez, Cockney English rhyming slang and what the Scots call *talking shite * as per Trainspotting. Maybe even Beat generation slang as per Kerouac and Ginsberg
"Full fathoms five my father lies, his bones of coral made" could become:
Prospero, like gettin' in DOWN in the 'hood with all us chillens, aw reet ? Hoots Mon, see you down the Rubbidy Dub with the Trouble and Strife. Just TOO PHAT Ariel, you finger poppin' Daddy at five fathoms, tangerine flake kandy-coated coral
Shakespeare would approve
