I've never watched AS YOU LIKE IT, I have heard next to nothing about it, I never even was interested enough to look very much into it (I don't like the play), the most I knew about it is that some people didn't consider it his best work, and I am frankly bewildered that the most important thing people thought to inform potential viewers about it in lieu of having the story right in front of them is that "well, his directing work wasn't very good" (no, that is literally all I ever heard of it, from three different people) instead of, well, HOLY FUCKSTICKS, THAT.
I'm unsurprised but disgusted by the racism blatantly reveled in on screen here, but I am kind of baffled that anybody thought it wasn't worth mentioning the movie sucked because of the racism and instead couched their dislike in terms of Branagh's "weak direction". Because, seriously, what. KIND OF HARD TO MISS, I WOULD THINK.
