Comparing the Play versus the Film of William Shakespeares Much Ado Ab

Comparing the Play versus the Film of William Shakespeargons Much bunco About Nothing?Much Ado About Nothing is a postwar love story. Its principal subject is that of romance that may settle over the land after soldiers come home. I sight that Much Ado is actually two love stories. One concerns sweetly innocent lovers who are driven apart by the plotting of enemies. The other involves truly satiric lovers who are swept into each others arms by the benign machinations of friends. I had a lot of trouble understanding the dialect, I grew up a pastoral boy and we didn?t do much of this in my 14 persons graduating class. None the less I didn?t think it was a waste of time either. It was of very good quality as far as a plot is concerned. It had evil, jealousy, lust, love, romance, comedy and of course tragedy. If I were to do it over again I would go see the picture first, the play second. I was able to understand more from the exposure than I did the play. I think that if I had do ne this I competency have got more from the play.As the good prince of Arragon, Denzel Washington did a superb job, and as Claudio, the love-struck innocent, Robert Sean Leonard performed great just as he has done in both other theatrical movies that I have seen him in. But in the lesser role of the princes evil half brother, Keanu Reeves didn?t appear to be all that special, at times he did look evil but I have never been a big fan of Keanu?s acting. He always sounds standardised a baboon when he opens his mouth. Maybe I am just remembering too much of Bill and Ted?s Excellent adventure?Beatrice and Bene*censored* are adversaries united only in their contempt for marriage. Once the two finally let down their guard and allow their true feelings to blossom... ...and several more keeps you and your emotions on a roller coaster ride. Which is brilliant because we all know that as humans we adhere to stimulation and that is what it does, it stimulates us by incorporating all these e motions and jumping around with them. With the movie it also adds a score and soundtrack as well as camera shots and things that appeals to our senses that much more. At least it does for me.Branaghs interpretation of Shakespeares play leaves the viewer with the impression of a fairy tale in which everyone (except the villain) will live happily ever after. The film is good, but even as I am partial to the movie I do believe to properly appreciate Shakespeares work it is necessary to take the time to peruse the play in a leisurely and wistful manner, and if anything to get the WHOLE play in which the movie did not give.
