looking back

My favorite thing that we did in this class this semester was definitely the movie Hamlet essay.  It was the most unique essay I had ever done in high school and it was really interesting the way we analyzed one scence for 2 weeks and trying to pick out the smallest details that the director put in their to see if we can get the signs that the director wanted us to get.  I had to dig very deep into this movie and it is something that I dont normally do, I usually just watch the movie but to be able to write a 3-5 page essay on once scene of a movie is incredible and is something that i know i will have to do in college, so this was great practice.  Having to anyalze two films and their differences to each other, but also their differences to Shakespeare's version, really challenged me to think critically on the movies performance choices.
