“O” the movie
Oops.. I did not know we were supposed to make a post every week. Alright, let’s pretend that I made this post on Oct. 5 2009.
Today we watched the movie “O” to kinda refresh our memories about Othello, and what we knew about it. I really enjoyed the movie, mainly because I had not seen it before so to me it was a “new” movie, the acting was great as well. When I first read “Othello” the play, I was in high school, and my teacher made all of us play a character, so it was really uncomfortable speaking in front of the class, and my acting ability is not something to be proud of. Other than that, it was pretty fun because we also had props to act with. After we finished reading the play, we also watched a movie, but it was very boring… so back on topic… I liked this film mainly because it was in a language I could understand, and because everything was more modern. I was also waiting for the end just because I wanted to see how Desdemona died in this one… Odie just strangles her, but in the play, Othello smothers her with a pillow.
I agree, first about the posting I have a lot to catch up on. I do agree the movie help me to understand the play better. Shakespeare always leave me confused.
