5/5 GREAT PRODUCTION

This is a wonderful production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
This is great for anyone who is not very familiar with Shakespere.
Easy to understand and a great cast. Highly recommended!!

2/5 Not what I expected.

When I ordered this, I expected a DVD not a book. Although it was not what my Granddaughter needed, she did manage to use it in her studies. So all went well anyway. She did get a good grade too.

5/5 Made a lot of changes, but it works

I personally feel that you should keep all of the dialogue from a Shakespeare play when you do a version of it. However, that would create a huge problem. It would last for a while. I usually compare this version with the version done in the late sixties by the Royal Shakespeare Company, with Ian Holm as Puck. While that version mainly tries to have as much of the dialogue as possible, this version puts in more visuals. This also includes more incidental music, and moments where they set the scene up.

This movie has mainly taken dialogue out, but of what little dialogue they've added, they've only added one-word lines, and lines in italian with subtitles. Like usual, they brought it to a more modern time, which gives them different things that they can do. I feel that the acting and costuming is wonderful, and some of the scenes are done very well. I have never seen such a great version of the play at the end. I feel that having scenes without dialogue, just showing the settings of the scenes are done very beautifully.

I'm unsure what Shakespeare would think of this. However, he would probably appreciate how his work is still being done today. If you are willing to see Shakespeare being reinterpreted, get this, if you think that everything must be done exactly like the original, you won't like this.

5/5 It's like watching magic

This is my favorite Shakespeare story. It is like watching magic. There is comedy, a love story and a story about a group of performers trying to put on the best show for a wedding celebration. It makes love so much fun to watch!

5/5 Good movie

I enjoyed it. Bought it for an English 102 assignment, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Made the Mrs. watch it too.
