YMMV / The Tempest (2010)

  • Gender Flip: Changing the male Prospero into the female Prospera drastically changes the subtext of a lot of the dialogue and interactions, as there are no longer hints of a male Prospero fearing he might engage in incest with his own daughter in his isolation, which also entails seeing Caliban as a potential competitor instead of merely a threat to his daughter. By contrast, Prospera is more unambiguously heroic and protective of her daughter.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This movie's decision to gender-flip the male Prospero into the female Prospera would be repeated more than a decade later by another work in a story that bears numerous references to the Tempest.
