English IV--Movie Analysis

Here are some questions that you may want to examine when analyzing Much Ado About Nothing:

  • How does the music portray the mood of the play and the actions in the scene?
  • How do the producers use cliches to portray different emotions (i.e. when Benedick dances in the fountain after learning of Beatrice's love)?
  • Analyze one of the main characters and his/her role in the movie.
  • What is the theme of the movie?

If you can find anything else that you may want to study, share it here to help others get started.

I am glad you all liked the movie. Many times, seeing the movie of what you are reading will help clear things up.

HESPER--you can find Much Ado About Nothing in the video store. I have already taken my copy and the DVD player home. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Pay close attention to the differences in Kenneth Branagh as an actor in the first movie, and this week in Hamlet. I think you will be impressed with him.
