Anyone watch Julie Taymor's TITUS?

[Passions]

I just saw it, and it was incredible. I loved it. But, does anyone understand the ending?

Why does Lucius' son carry out the Moor's baby in the sunset. Why didn't Lucius kill it? Very confusing ending.

Titus makes race cars.

I don't recall the movie well enough to take a stab at the ending, but I agree, it's a great movie.

The moor begged Lucius not to kill his son. Lucius (probably tired of the carnage) decided not to. That's what I got out of it, at least. I've never read shakespeare's original play, so I could be wrong, but that's the conclusion my friends and I reached.

Good film. Really nice and cracked out.

Great movie, but like everything Shakespearean...bizarre and strange.

Lucius gave the moor his word that he would spare the babe in order to get all the scoop from him.

I thought is was okay at best..I'm not too fond of the adapted from Shakespeare movies. I did like "O"

Bleh. O was pretty bad. Way over the top acting.

I thought it was a great adaptation of Shakespeare's worst play, if that means anything...

I haven't seen the movie, but I have the soundtrack by Elliott Goldenthal; that is some WACKY stuff. I can't imagine how it plays into a Shakespeare-based movie, let alone ANY movie.

 

[Passions]

Oh, I see. I would have killed it anyway. But, that's just me!

I saw it, but was hoping it was just a typo.
