22、o far.12-4-3Joe, you know Im giving a presentation in our film studies class next week Yes. Well, could we discuss it I could do with getting someone elses opinion.Of course, Katie. What are you going to talk about?s about film adaptations of Shakespeares plays.ve got very interested in all the diff
23、erent approaches that film directors take. Uhuh.So I thought Id start with Giannetti, whos a professor of film and literature, and in one of his books he came up with a straightforward classification offilm adaptations based on how faithful they are to the original plays and novels.ve already made s
24、ome notes on that, so I just need to sort those out before the presentation. I thought that next Id ask the class to come up with the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptations that theyve seen, and to say why. That should be more fun than having their favourite versions.Yes, I can certainly think of
25、 a couple!Right. Next I want to talk about Rachel Malchow.I came across something on the internet about her work on film adaptations, and I was thinking of showing some film clips to illustrate her ideas.Will you have enough time, though Both to prepare and during the presentationAfter all, I doubt
26、if youll be able to find all the clips you want.Hmm. Perhaps youre right.OK, well, Id better do some slides instead, saying how various films relate to what she says.That should encourage discussion. Mmm.Next I want to say something about how plays may be chosen for adaptation because theyre concern
27、ed with issues of the time when the film is made.You mean things like patriotism, or the role of governments?Exactly. Its quite tricky, but Ive got a few ideas Id like to discuss.And finally I want to talk about a few adaptations that I think illustrate a range of approaches, and make some comments
28、on them.Do you know the Japanese film Ran?I havent seen it. It was based on Shakespeares King Lear, wasnt it?s right. It was a very loose adaptation, using the same situation and story, but moving it to 16th century Japan instead of 16th century Britain.So for example the kings daughters become sons
29、, because in Japanese culture at that time, women couldnt succeed to the throne.hope youre going to talk about that 1993 film of Much Ado About Nothing.I think thats one of the best Shakespeare films.It really brings the play to life, doesn Yes, I agree. And I think filming it in Italy, where the play is set, makes you see what life was like at the time of the play. Absolutely. Right, whats next?Er, next, I thought Romeo And Juliet, the 1996 film, which moves the actioninto the present day.Y
