Othello Film Viewings

Last class, we viewed the final scene of Othello in a move made recently.  I enjoyed watching the film, although like most of Shakespeare's work, I found the scene somewhat cheesily overdramatic.  I find the character of Othello especially to be overdramatic.  He is overdramatic when he accuses Desdemona of cheating on him and refuses to listen to her when she trys to tell him that she has been faithful.  He is equally dramatic when he finds out that she had in fact been telling the truth and feels the need to kill himself.

I am looking forward to watching the move "O" and seeing how that film differs from the one we saw in class and the one we saw on YouTube.
