has anyone ever watched MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING? i LOVE that movie. the dialogue IS shakesperean so it was a little daunting when the first words came out of emma thompson's mouth. but seeing the action sure helps. i don't think i could read the play and have the same kind of understanding as i do when i can watch it. anyhow, if you ever have a chance to watch it (or you can borrow it from me =p cuz i have the dvd) i think it can teach you a thing or two about love.

so it's called MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING and the first time i watched it i couldn't figure out why they would call it that. well, here's MY take on it. the whole play's got everything you need in a shakespearean plot (this one's a comedy): love, deceit and mistaken identities. throughout the story, people are afraid to admit how they feel for another or just don't realize it until a third party shows them; or they're deceived into thinking the one they love has been untrue...essentially, the whole play consists of people running around in circles, plotting and scheming the futures of someone's love, when all people need to do when they have feelings for someone....is freakin' tell them! what a simple solution. TOO BAD IT'S HARD AS HELL TO DO....and before i go any further on this subject, i'll stop while i'm ahead. on to the next entry...
