 Movie Review 

Introduction: We are just generalizing what  we thought of the movie, set, design and Characters. We hope this helps you decide if this movie is something you would like to watch. 

Production and Direction Crew: They used their lighting really well! Keeping focus on the actors faces. My favorite scene from the play for the set was the garden scene, it helped capture the story line by giving Beatrice and Benedick places to hide. Also it was good to see them walking around rather them standing still in one set having limited space. These sets made it seem like there was endless room. I think the scene with the costume ball could have had better features. You couldn’t really tell where the dance floor was. And the only thing that was there were the masks. Which is good that the made that the most eye catching because it played a big part. (when Don Pedro pretended to be Claudio)

How did the actors act:  We really liked seeing actual people acting out the play, it made you see the story in a different way and allowed you to understand the emotion that was brought to life. We thought the actors portrayed their Characters really well with a few faults. We think some of the actors had troubles with there emotions and didn’t quite capture the feeling in the right way.  I thought that Claudio had the most troubles capturing some emotions of showing his love and sadness to lady hero. We think he was trying too hard to create the right emotion.  We thought that Beatrice and Benedick were the best actors they really played there characters well. Joking around with one another and keeping their love for one another secreted and making it seem like they hate one another.

Was it worth it: We thought this movie would be worth watching for most people, because it explains the story very well and captures emotions allowing you to understand each Character. We think that this would be good for the general population because they add funny comments and jokes and make it understandable for most; they also use very Shakespearian languages. I think out of 5 stars I would give it a 4.
