The Cymbeline play itself is controversial. As a late Shakespeare comedy, it was written between 1610 and 1611. This story about "Love, betrayal and Vengeance" is regarded by those who like it as a classic masterpiece, while those who do not like it think that the plot clues are messy and entangled. In the film, Cymbeline (Eddard Harris), as the leader of the biker gang, exchanged fire with the police, while his daughter Imogen (Dakota Johnson) fought for her honor and life, while his wife and son conspired to occupy his drug empire. The film was released at the Venice Film Festival, and Variety magazine praised the actors' performance and slightly sentimental picture and scene design. As for the re-adaptation of Shakespeare after Hamlet, director Almeida said that Shakespeare's works have always been a source of inspiration for filmmakers. "check Shakespeare on IMDB, and he quotes Shakespeare more often than any screenwriter."
