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.

My favorite 10: local food

What local sweets do you like? My favorite local sweets are MARUSEI BUTTER and Hakata-Torimon in particularly. Do you know them? Today, I will talk about MARUSEI BUTTER. It is sold by Rokka-tei and it is very famous confectionery in Hokkaido. I have got it from an acquaintance by a souvenir of Hokkaido before. It became famous nationwide from the late 1990s and it became the brand name almost as same as Shiroi-koibito and Aka-huku now. By the way, a Hokkaido exhibition was held in Tsuruya last month, so I went to there with my mother. There were a lot of people and almost stores and they lined up in all shops. I bought it because I like MARUSEI BUTTER. Also, it sweet is that cream of the lamb raisin is sandwiched between cookies and it tastes very sweet. Please tell me your favorite local sweets!! Also, Hokkaido foods are very delicious and I want to visit there someday because I have never been to there.
