This reminds me of a blog post on sparknotes that was talking about the Shakespeare plays and movie adaptions.

To quote: What is this one about? Nobody knows. Certainly there are themes, a few motifs, the occasional subplot. Jupiter is there. Why is Jupiter there? Well, why shouldn’t he be?

If your teacher is forcing you to read this convoluted mess of blank verse, then their heart is black, they have never loved anything, and they do not dream in color. For the curious: this image is from the 2014 movie adaptation starring Ethan Hawke. Presumably, somebody said, "What if we did Cymbeline, but we made it about biker gangs?" to which someone else replied, "FUND THIS IMMEDIATELY." And the first guy said, "It's a modern take, but we're going to keep the original Shakespearean dialogue, right?" and the second guy said, "Obviously."
