Much Ado About Nothing Movie Analysis
There are many differences between the Joss Whedon and the Kenneth Branagh version of “Much Ado About Nothing”. One major difference of the movie would be the setting. In the Joss Whedon version, it was a completely modernized and it had more advanced technology. While the Kenneth Branagh version was completely old fashioned. The setting was very magical being placed in a castle at which a princess would live. Another difference would be how Kenneth stuck more to Shakespeare language throughout the whole movie. While the Whedon movie, had about half of shakespeare play and Whedon even cut out a character and changed a character's gender to fit more with the villain. Yet in the Joss Whedon movie he showed in the beginning an intimate past

    Of all the characters from Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”, Beatrice is perhaps the most interesting. As a brilliant and outspoken, her character is quite the opposite of her cousin, Hero. One must ask, “In what way is Beatrice different from other women during Shakespeare's era?” And furthermore, “for what purpose did the author write her as the firm character she plays as?” Beatrice’s character cannot be adequately pegged down by the interpretation of the reader, as she is both seemingly realistically presented and yet fictionally portrayed by the author.…

Although the dialogue in the movie is the same as the original play, the settings and emotional intent are better represented in the film. So, the overall meaning of the story isn’t diminished but preserved and enhanced. In Summary, the movie is a good representation of the original play that William Shakespeare would be proud of.…

    The communication between the characters in Much Ado About Nothing is sharp and has some humour in the mix of things. The Couples are very similar in how they interact with each other. One reason for this is that both couples are educated aristocrats. Even though the play is about the love and marriage, the duos always bring up the topic of marriage consistently throughout the play. From start to finish, both couples learn to speak more directly to each other. Though there are many parallels, there are some contrasts as well. The dialogue between the couples is spoken in two different ways, inverse and prose. Shakespeare implements this type of speech in all of his plays, which makes them stand out compared to others plays at his…

    Nearly all people submit to authority, whether it be unknowingly or because of the position one is engaging in. Depending on the outcome, many either choose to deny or accept the consequences they have endured from their actions. People have a mind set on how their life will be lived and who will dictate that life, but a person's morals could be tested if an authority figure ceases to challenge those set morals. There are countless of different occurrences to which people can submit to authority including individuals that follow direct orders in the military so they do not become belittled or punished by fellow members which is the case more often than not. Additionally people submit to authority in their everyday lives by being submissive at their jobs to their bosses to insure their position is secure and they are not fired. Submitting to…

    Othello, a tragic play where a man named Othello meets his downfall when he allows another man to play mind games with him. Since this plays tragic ending is quite famous, a movie called "Othello" was created in 1995. The director of this play wanted to not only keep the movie as close to the play as possible, but also have a unique way of getting the plays message across to the audience. The difference we see between the play and the movie is how they interpreted the character Iago and Othello by the way the director uses movie tools and Othello's ethnicity.…

    The title ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ also suggests to us that the actors have been quarrelling for no particular reason; we will expect a great amount of misunderstanding which follows the plot of a romantic comedy. ‘Nothing’ (from the play’s title) has a double meaning, which sounded very similar in the Elizabethan and Jacobethan reign.…

    Thelma and Louise is a 1991 film about two good friends who set out on a road trip to relax from their hectic lives, but find themselves anything than relaxed. They are tired of their boring, routine lives, and find excitement on the road, although not in the way they would have liked. Thelma is a push-over house wife with a controlling husband and Louise is a stressed waitress with a boyfriend who is unwilling to commit. In an attempt to rescue Thelma from a potential rape, Louise shoots and kills a man named Harlen. They then set out in Louise’s ’66 Thunderbird for the adventure of their lives. Throughout the movie, there are times in which you find yourself wondering what in the world the character is doing and how they could possibly be so naive, but Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are both so vibrant, funny, and sweet that you can’t help but feel for them. Many people view this film as sexist, attacking the male gender. However, I have quite the different outlook on it. Although it is overall empowering to women, that does not have to automatically mean it must be downgrading to men. There are some positive male roles, such as the police detective, Hal, and Jimmy, Louise’s boyfriend. When Geena Davis was asked about Thelma and Louise being considered a male-bashing movie, even she commented, “Most guys don't relate to the truck driver or the rapist, and if they do, their problems are bigger than this movie.” My analysis of Thelma and Louise discusses the friendship between the leading characters and their different personalities, how males are perceived in the movie and their relationships with the women, and the controversial ending of the movie.…
