Scene 24: Kenneth Branagh, Knight

So, congratulations to Kenneth Branagh, who has been knighted for his services to drama and the community of Northern Ireland, in the Queen's Birthday Honours.


Kenneth Branagh is most famous for adapting, directing and acting in several films of Shakespeare plays, and starring in Wallander. He also directed the big Marvel movie Thor (2011). 





It must be noted that Kate Winslet, who received a CBE in Queen's Birthday Honours, actually starred in Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet (1996).

I suppose this will mean I'll have to do a review of Kenneth Branagh's films now...!
