Movie vs. Play

According to me, the movie wasnt as good as the play, since it wasnt as dramatic. Also some of the characters weren't as i had imagined. The delivery of the lines, the props, the costumes, and the expressions were better in my imagination. Yes, at some points it was good, but on a scale of one to ten, i'd give the movie a four. Where as the play would be an eight. And then there is always this theory, that once you read something, the movie is never as good. (well maybe in harry potter's case, its an acception) But anyhow, i think the movie could have been better, with better directing and costumes. Some of the the lines could have been delivered in a different style, and some of the characters behaves/talked in a completely different way than i thought. So, yes, i think reading the play was much better than watching it.

What I think about Shakespeare...

There is so much to Shakespeare's writing, he has emotion, he has sarcasm. He has pity, he has joy. He has romance, he has violence. He has humor, and he has sorrow. Shakespeare is a great writer with a real passion for his writing. His writing is much different from any other writer in history, and has much value to it. It is true that people might struggle with understanding his work ( i do too), but once you understand the language, it is hard to question his work. He has alot of exageration, and sometimes sounds cheesy, like our good old quote, "Romeo, O Romeo, where art fort Romeo?". Anyhow, he understands his characters very well and knows how to put up a speechless show! Surely, many of his readers can relate to his plays, characters and the situations he provides throughout. I really like his writings, although i still think Romeo and Juliet could be soo much better, but over all he is great! He's a rebel, he's awsome! :)
