Sex & Nudity
-
- Very little adult content, but this is a very odd interpretation of the play. The BBC version from 1978 is far better for use in the classroom.
- Man and woman lay together in each other's embrace in a barn haystack. Her costume displays quite a bit of cleavage.
Violence & Gore
-
- Orlando fights off a lion, but survives. Rosalind is shown a blood-stained handkerchief, and she faints.
- The movie opens with an attack. Duke Senior is attacked and overthrown by ninja warriors while watching a kabuki play with Rosalind, Celia, and others. This coup has been arranged by Duke Frederick, Duke Senior's brother.
- Orlando and his brother engage in a fight, which results in Orlando fleeing to the Forest of Arden with his servant.
- There is also a sumo wrestling match in the film, between Orlando and Charles, the court wrestler, but nothing truly violent is shown.
Profanity
-
- None, unless some of the oaths in Elizabethan English can be called profane.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Drugs, recreational: None
- Smoking: None
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The scene in which Orlando fights a lion may be frightening to younger viewers; for a comedy, it is unusually intense.
