Title: Excellent supplement for teaching
Product review: A wonderful film adaptation of one of my favorite comedies to teach! The actors do a lovely job of bringing to life all the joys, sorrows, and mishaps of the many love triangles layered within the play. There are simply too many favorite scenes to list, however, Malvolio's discovery of "Olivia's" letter is a classic. One of my favorite scenes to compare to other performances. High schoolers find the story engaging and relatable, although they do get impatient at the end when Viola and Sebastian take 30 lines to confirm each other's identity - hehe! The filmmakers also follow the original text almost entirely, with only a few minor omissions, making it an excellent companion to a close reading of the text.
