As far as the music itself, it held a sort of timeless whimsy, and it’s consistent upbeat tempo help keep the whole of the musical fresh and enjoyable. The whole of it reminded me of the song “Winchester Cathedral” which I am assuming is because that song was stylized to reflect music of the early Twentieth Century. It was a modern enough song that I felt as if it truly carried the story into the next
I liked the movie better than the book. Reason being is because it was easier to feel the mood in the movie. It was harder to understand the mood in the book than it was in the
The plot was lucid, maybe because it’s a professional play. It was very clear and understandable to what was going on in the play. The introduction to Cyrano was very interesting. Cyrano, whose personality was shown, when interrupting the play that was being performed in the Hotel Burgundy called “Clorise”.
It provides a profound window into one of the most incredible stories to ever be told. As a reader you feel like a silent member of the family as Jeanette describes the events in such vivid detail and emotion. The raw emotion you feel from the words on a page are amplified tenfold as the movie brings the novel alive. The brilliance from the movie shines in the director’s choice of cuts, shots and music selection. A problem that most books turned novel is that the director tries to make the movie their own as opposed to building the movie on the foundation the book has already provided.
Josie Rourke’s modern stage adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing is renowned for the hilarious reunion of the Doctor Who costars: David Tennant and Catherine Tate, whose chemistry is mesmerizingly brilliant and inevitable from the moment the two step on the stage. As said by the Guardian: “Tennant and Tate sparkle in Much Ado,” it is this sort of partnership that really enraptures an audience, the choice of pairing being one of the main highlights of the exceptional replication of the 16th century classic. The play centers Beatrice (Tate) and Benedick (Tennant), the disputatious lovers, who hold a reputation for being unapparent to the love that they clearly share for each other, going along with repartee, oblivious to the
Rob Reiner masterfully employs a strong establishing shot in When Harry Met Sally (1989) to highlight Harry Burns’ (Billy Crystal) characterization while also illuminating the theme of fate in the film. Reiner utilizes the setting of the football game to highlight the intensity of Harry’s conversation. By taking the intimate conversation and putting it into a public arena, Reiner has not only foiled the scene with the scene prior, but also underlines the narrative structure of the film. Harry is realizing that his marriage “was just an illusion,” and just like he is not really in the game, so to speak, he most likely wasn’t truly in his marriage. This is to say that while the audience sees Harry partaking in the wave, he truly is only going
It is truly fascinating to see how two plays that could have been written in the same century (although the chances are low) by different playwrights differ or have similar traits. It is well known that drama has seemed to grow wherever men have gained the piquing interest to know- the facts, the reasons, and the cause. However, as does men change and evolve, so does drama. So what is the next “new” way to capture an audience and express the feelings locked in every writer 's’ heart? Everyman was written in during the medieval times which means between 5th to 15th century, beginning with the fall of the western Roman Empire to around the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery.
In my opinion, I think that the movie version and the play version, of Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare, are not very different. They have a lot of similarities for example; Hero and Claudio met and thought they should be together, Claudio thinks he saw Hero cheating on him with another man. So therefore at their wedding he demanded for her to die because of her relations with another man. Claudio realizes he was wrong about what she did and he had to marry her cousin without seeing her at all till they’re married.
One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Psychoanalytic Theory In the novel 'One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; by Ken Kesley. Freud's psychoanalytic theory is continuously shown throughout the book with the struggle of the id, ego, and superego. According to Freud, each person's ego conflicts to create balance between the id and superego. Freud emphasizes the importance of the unconscious mind by stating that we lock away information through the process of repression.
I enjoyed the movie better than the book. It included just the right amount of action scenes, description words, and details from the story. The story was amazing but I like seeing things more than reading them. I usually like the movies better than the book.
Deceiving is an act done by everyone at least once for either good or bad intentions. The act of deceiving is what causes the plot for the book Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare where it would lead to love and romance between different characters of the story. In the book, many characters use trickery and deceit for their purpose such as Don John, Don Pedro, Claudio, Beatrice, Borachio and Ursula. The love and romance their actions cause is of those Claudio and Hero together and Benedick and Beatrice as well.
In my opinion, I consider the play mainly support the idea of marriage as business, however, in some part as pleasure. I will analysis it from the play and also make compare of today’s idea of marriage. The play reveals the portrayal of marriage during the late Victorian era. During that time period, a marriage states was a business deal or a contract made for money and power accompany with the rule of a marriage will be permitted if the couple intending to marry belonged to the same class. It is the strict class system in that time and it perpetuates the gap between the upper, middle and lower classes.
Much Ado About Nothing is a timeless tail about two soldiers who fall in love with nobles daughters, and the hardships they face to be together. The play emphasizes the theme of pride and jealousy, and accentuates the ramifications of the character 's actions. When comparing different versions of plays, you have to consider many aspects including the setting, language, and film techniques of the play. After watching both the Branagh version and the modern versions of the Shakespeare 's play, Much Ado About Nothing, I would have to say that the Branagh version was by far the best, after considering these components. For example, in the Branagh version the director did an excellent job of matching the language and costumes to the setting.
One major connection that really impacted me throughout the text was the one between this text and Mill. On page 284 Camus says in the beginning of paragraph two that the freedom to kill is not compatible with rebellion. I found this to be connected with Mills statements because Mill spoke about freedom, but as long as it doesn't hurt other individuals. I was bothered that some individuals can consider how they gained their freedom by hurting others. Several countries, even the United States, have gained their freedom by rebelling and using tactics that hurt others.
Defining the Cultural Influence of Human Nature in William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” The definition of human nature often serves as a quick and a prominent explanation for how people behave under a variety of circumstances within their cultural boundaries. Similarly, in William Shakespeare’s play “Much Ado About Nothing” the 16th century Sicilian culture in which the characters live in, defines the complex relationships and interactions that shape characters human nature in this dramatic comedy. In comparison, I have often heard people refer to the nature of humans in the 21st century, as a way to distinguish a person’s violent actions under wartime circumstances. In “Much Ado About Nothing” the culture of social and wartime influence is defined through the relationships and interactions between characters with the heart and mind of the characters in constant conflict.
