Acting Styles

Here are some examples of two different productions of Much Ado About Nothing:

1. 1984 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViFQfGjvj_0
    This movie relates more the classical movement of the peice as well as language and costumes. Mainly this is true because of the year this movie was made and the resources available.

2. 1993 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WST2D9Ht1j0&feature=related
    This movie is more modern than the earlier version and also seems to elevate the language to a more modern level, for audiences to understand. Rather than just speaking the language to way it was write, it seems to have more of an understanding of what Shakespeare is trying to convey and says it in the appropriate fashion
