A few questions about this movie
I'll admit outright that I'm here because I need to write a paper comparing this movie to the original play, and frankly I'm not a Shakespeare fan and am particularly uninterested in this story. The papers are not hard to write, so all I really need to know is how the film differs from the play. Is it set in a different time? Are any major portions of the script omitted? Were any of the characters omitted or altered in any way? Were any new characters added?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
