    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Kenneth Branagh: The director has a brief cameo in the epilogue, which breaks the fourth wall. He follows Bryce Dallas Howard with his camera and can be heard saying, "And...cut!"
    • Goofs
      Lions are not native to Japan. The lion is a carryover from the original play, which was set in a generic European country at an indeterminate time in the Middle Ages. Even that didn't make much sense, as lions have been extirpated from the main part of Europe since the 4th century AD, and from the Caucasus since the 10th century. But many Europeans, possibly including William Shakespeare, didn't know that lions weren't around anymore.
    • Quotes

      Touchstone: The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

    • Crazy credits
      The picture seems to end without the play's Epilogue. Then, the closing credits begin, when they are suddenly interrupted by Bryce Dallas Howard, still in character as Rosalind, who then is seen speaking the Epilogue as she begins to walk to her trailer, drinking a cup of coffee along the way. After the speech, Kenneth Branagh can be heard off-screen saying "Aaaand...cut!" After this, the closing credits resume.
    • Alternate versions
      The version shown on cable television has been formatted to the aspect ratio commonly used in HDTV production (that is, anywhere from 1.78:1 to 1.85:1), while the version released to movie theatres was released in the typical CinemaScope/Panavision aspect ratio (2.39:1). It is the theatrical version which has been issued on DVD. Since the film was made using the Super 35 format, it was possible to make versions of the film in different aspect ratios.

    Bold attempt and could have been really enjoyable, but ultimately half hearted and doesn't serve the plays translation to the audience
    You have to applaud Branagh's attempt at turning AYLI into a luscious Hollywood version accessible and engaging to modern audiences. It starts off great, the setting being translated to imperial Japan. But other than the introduction making us aware of this and some different scenery to what one would expecting England throughout, that's where the conversion ends really. It is a half hearted conversion. And because of the change in setting I don't think the themes and great relationships come through as well as they should. Overall the performances are sound but not life changing. Alfred Molina is a memorable Touchstone. There aren't many vesions of AYLI available to watch on screen so I would say to watch this but in accompaniment with the 2010 RSC version which is available online.
