MR:05 Much Ado About Nothing

I watched the movie which is called Much Ado About Nothing.

 

<Character and outline>

It was made in 1993 in America and England. Also, the original of this movie is a drama by William Shakespeare. And it had been made into a movie four times in the past. Firstly, I will introduce the characters of this movie. The hero is Benedick. He is a friend of Don Pedro and is a confirmed bachelor. The heroine is Beatrice. She is a cheerful person and is a strong-minded woman. She always quarrels with Benedick over trivial things, but they are interested in each other. Also, Don Pedro is Prince of Aragon and he is Cupid of the love for Claudio and Hero. And Claudio is a friend of Don Pedro and is a nobleman of Florence. He fell in love with Hero at first sight. And Hero is most beautiful girl in this village. Moreover, Don John is a bad person and he is a half-brother to Don Pedro. John could not stand Pedro.

 

The story is set in the Toscana district in Italy and the people who are living in this village are living happily. One day, a man came over to inform that feudal lord Don Pedro of Aragon returned in triumph to this village. Everyone was jumping for joy. And Pedro’s party arrived at the village. And Claudio fell in love with Hero at first sight and he decided to marry her. Also, Benedick and Beatrice make fun of each other in strong tones. However, only John was dissatisfied with the situation. So, he plots that he disturbs relations of Claudio and Hero……

 

<Impression>

 I watched a literary work of William Shakespeare for the first time. I was not able to understand this movie only in a part of the beginning. Moreover, it was difficult for me to understand the lines in particularly in this movie. However, I caught only a glimpse of the story’s meaning though I have looked over the movie. Also, all character has a very clear-cut personality, so it was interesting. My impression scene is everyone trapped Benedick and Beatrice because they hope that Benedick and Beatrice would get married. Also, there were a few funny people, so they were very weird for me. However, they were helpful to solve the problems. At last, the last dancing scene was very wonderful. I thought that I want to watch other works by William Shakespeare.
