Title: Shakespeare in space
Product review: When I first learned that I would be watching King Lear in my English class I was greatly over-joyed. Firstly because we never get to watch videos in class, and secondly because I was curious to visually see the play. However, upon watching the first minutes of the play I felt like watching the movie was more like punishment than pleasure. The costumes made the characters look like they were on spaceship flying towards another planet. The simple sets didn't fit the extravagant lifstyle I thought a King would lead. The actors, though they were talented, did not fit what I visualized the characters to look like. I must say that with the simple costumes and sets it did help me focus on the dialogue of the play. Visually seeing the dialogue come to life gave me a better understanding of the play. I would not recommend this video for entertainment but for learning purposes only.
