What are some of the differences between the film and the text of Twelfth Night?

For the purpose of this question, I will refer to the movie version of the play published in 1996, supervised by Trevor Nunn starring Toby Maguire and Helena Bonham Carter. This is a wonderful movie version of this show, I used it myself when I was teaching this article.

The first thing to note is that the versions of each movie and the performance of the script are "reading" or "visual" that shows how the play looks. The job of the director is to bring out the text on the page, enrich it, add color and life to it, and change living and breathing to something. This inevitably involves many decisions, making each program or the movie version of that program very different from each other.

In the movie version, it is very interesting that Nunn chose to create political tension between Illyria, Viola and Sebastian's birthplace. When Viola and Captain jumped out of the sea and hid himself there were some danger that Orquino's troops would look for them. Another important aspect of the play is that Viola (disguised as Cesario) is always very close to Orsino. In one scene, Osino during bathing becomes naked, and Cesario is summoned to sit next to him, which further enhances humor. Therefore, Viola is of course in a very difficult position as she can see the man she likes and pretends to tell him how to pursue Olivia. Such contact will truly help clarify the humor in the text and create an unforgettable movie.

Therefore, I will ask you a question. In a sense, there is no "difference" between the text version and the movie version. Instead, the film version contains interpretations of human sentences, so you can see more clearly the original genius of Shakespeare.

If we are using Trevor Nunn's movies, we will quickly notice some of the differences: Shakespeare did not naturally set his play in the 19th century, and Viola and Sebastian showed onboard comedy show It was not drawn as. This does not mean that Nunn does not follow the generally accepted tradition of setting Shakespeare's work in other eras.

But another big difference between drama and movie is that Nunn chose not to light gay elements on the night of the 12th. The most obvious is that Antonio is friendly to Sebastian, but when Olivia is fascinated by viola as Cesario, Shakespeare also "acts" the sexual appeal, obviously a young man, and even Orsi. Connaught (who is not his own most enthusiastic person) recognizes like a girl. Later, at the end of the game, Orsino immediately accepted Cesario as a girl. And now it is an ideal companion that was opened as well as accepted.

Because most, if not most, contemporary Shakespeare scholars admit that Shakespeare himself is bisexual, these elements are more attractive, and the decision of Nan to discount rather than emphasize them is interesting .

Gender identity and sexual appeal have been investigated for the nature of the night on the 12th and male actors playing Viola have increased the impression of bisexuality and sexuality. Some modern scholars believe that the deception of male actors and viola got confused and resolved the sexuality problem of "special moment" on the evening of the twelfth day. They also acknowledge that the explanation by sex on day 12 is derived from the general scientific theory that women are mere incomplete men. This belief accounts for almost indistinguishable differences between the two men and women reflected in the casting and the personality of the night of the twelfth day.

The disguise function of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is a disguise-based drama that becomes another person in the form of camouflage. On the evening of the 12th day, there are various forms ranging from camouflage to spiritual camouflage. Camouflage is one of the major topics of the play, and this helps to create plots.

All movies, concerts, and dramas need roles to express themes and ideas of script writers such as William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The drama "Twelve Nights" has many roles including Olivia, Duke, Sebastian, and Viola. Each character has its own personality characteristics to distinguish the quality and purpose of the game. Viola as the hero represents the two themes of "twelve nights" love, disguise, wrong identity. Viola is a princess who was worried that he had suffered a shipwreck on Ilee and lost her brother to the beach. Viola has many qualities, and her brother Sebastian called her intelligent and intelligent, when he said, "Jealousy in her heart should be called fairness."
