Much Ado About Nothing: A Play in A Movie

Movie Review:

Much Ado About Nothing

“There was a star danced, and under that was I born. ”

    Have you ever watch a Shakespeare play ever? Do you want to know why Shakespeare is considered as a legendary  writer? All of your questions will be answered in this movie that captures the magnificence of Shakespeare's original play. Watching the movie is a magical experience of the love story that is humorous and romantic at the same time.

Would you read/watch this material again? Why/why not?

     I would totally watch this movie again because it is a movie that is really different from the other movies that I used to watch. One of the reasons is that it accurately uses the script from the original play so the conversations are actually composed of old English from Shakespeare's Era. Usually, the visuals from the movie are enough to tell what is happening but with a better understanding of the old English and the plot from a small research, watching the movie again will definitely make me fully appreciate the movie. Another reason is that this movie is a perfect medium to study English culture. As the movie  almost perfectly contain the same settings as the original, it also means that the culture of the play will be inside the movie as well. There are many past English cultures present in the movie -the weddings, the funeral, and the party- that can tell its audience about the lifestyle of the English people during Shakespeare's era. By exposing fascinating culture to the audience, this can enrich their knowledge of the old English culture.

     In a nutshell, Much Ado About Nothing is a one of a kind movie that is largely based on Shakespeare's original play with the similar name. The way the director Joss Whedon directs the movie with a slight change from the original has captivated millions for its wonderful screenplay and a blast from the past experience.
