Ophelia, and other matters…

Daisy Ridley
Naomi Watts
Clive Owen

Hamlet

Today we watched the trailer for Ophelia, a new movie starring Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts, and Clive Owen. As you might have guessed, it's based on Hamlet but told from the point of view of his girlfriend, Ophelia. Of course, we've only seen a couple of minutes, but it looks very interesting. There's a suggestion that she becomes "mad" deliberately in order to avoid being seen as dangerous by Claudius.

The first of the European finals took place on Wednesday night. The result was disappointing for me, with Arsenal losing 1–4 to Chelsea. The other final, the Champions League, is coming on Saturday night, with Liverpool playing Tottenham Hotspur. I'm expecting Liverpool to win, but Tottenham may have some surprises.
