Today in class those who did not go on the field trip to see King Lear live watched a movie rendition of the play. I thought it was pretty bad . Most of the actors were not very good and the movie was just not put together very well. Regardless of this, I think you could have some of the best actors and film makers in the country create a movie version of King Learn and it would turn out as a decent movie at best. This is because it is not meant to be a movie and when it was written it was intended to be performed in front of an audience .
I think it is true that there are certain plays and novels that don't translate well into movies.
