The "vital importance" of this line‚ and its significance‚ constitutes the core difference between the play and Oliver Parker’s film adaptation. As with any film adaptation‚ there are various

Throughout history and modern day texts and films‚ archetypes have been used to add significance and meaning to literature by allowing us to understand patterns of human behaviour.

Film vs. Digital -Joshua Sutherland Film and digital capture are completely different media. They might be used for similar purposes‚ but they themselves are completely unrelated to each other. Both film and digital have their strengths and weaknesses but the digital’s strengths seem to outweigh the strengths of film in more ways than one‚ which makes it the future of the film industry.
