The Book versus The Movie

Comment on the 1st 15 minutes of the movie in comparison to the book

     The movie as opposed to the book was depicted with visual aid, that is the characters, setting, attire and accents. The actors utilied their environment and they're body language to bring life and expression which better made allowances to understand that language. Their expressions and tone of voices help to set the mode of critism, malice and conflict name between Benedict and Beatrice. Those actor who were not directly involved in the argument acted as chorus who jeared on the insult being tossed between the characters
     The music, which was intune with the feel of the movie, also aided in setting a sense of anxiety as the men and women prepared for they meetings. The music was rich alone with the atmosphere of the characters: rich with anticipation and excitment which transfered into the viewer.
     The setting, where the novel failed to adhere to, was vibrant and accurate in comparison to time frame of the written play. Once again, the benefit of the visual aid corresponding to the movie lent a convincing feel to the era in which the play was written. Their mode of transportation, and  the props such as the book Beatrice read from demonstrated the stage of advancement of that era.
      However, the extensive dialogue in the book allowed for more description and insight into the conflicts of the characters. This gave the reader a better understanding of the atmosphere between the characters.
