Coriolanus
The live action news report shows protestors attacking the fence surrounding the grain silos and they are met by troops led by a bald, hawk-nosed, eagle-eyed general with caius martius printed on the pocket of his uniform for whom we quickly learn language is power: \"He that will give good words to thee will flatter / Beneath abhorring. The film also contains uncanny echoes of the Arab Spring from Cairo to Tripoli to Homs using many of the same techniques (handheld camera, tight shots, simultaneous shooting from multiple perspectives) and the cinematographer (Barry Ackroyd) that defined Kathryn Bigelow's Academy Award-winning The Hurt Locker.

Russell Brand's Trinculo, with a thin red silk scarf wound about his neck and a red and black breast (whoops-vest), seems like an exotic Galápagos frigate bird or mutant albatross. The Court Party is initially seen navigating what appears to be an African savannah with tall saw grass and what looks like an Acacia tree in the background.
