This semester, we are going to study one of the shakespeare's play which is "KIng Lear." before reading this play, we are aked to wacth two movies. thew frist movie is called Reduced Shakespeare Company. The movie is acted out by only three people , they try to act out all shakespaere's plays within a few hours. It is a interesting show. I had never thought that acting out Shakespeare's play can be so much of fun. During the foundation year, our TESL club planned to act out King Lear, i felt it would be very difficult beacuse we don't understand the language and how are we going to find the prop that siut that era. from this movie, i learn that we can actually act out the play in the modern setting. For example, they act out all the 13 shakespeare's comedies with a football macth setting. The prop does not influence the play. It is how the actors makes the play interesting.

The second movie is "Shakespeare Wallah". it is a three hours show and it was a hard time to finish watching the show because it is black and white. I agree with what happen in the story that nowadays, less and less people is interested in wacthing a theatre. People prefer to watch something entertaining such as singing concert. For example, when Sanju's girl friend, a well known singer, came to the threatre every audience is distrated from watching the play. This shows that people show more inter in celebrity than wactchina play. People do not feel watching theatre is also entertaining and knowledgeable. Puting up a theatre requires a very high expenses. As a result, the treatre is less put up. The ending of the movie is bad becuase Sanju and Lizzie have to be separated becuase the different of culture.
