Shakespeare

The movie review As a director view, I found lots of impressive parts of the movie. Firstly, it's the characters. Shylock's aggressive speech, Antonio's friendship with Bassino, Portia's intelligence, etc. The actors and actresses all create and vivid typical characters. Act perfectly that make you feel you actually are in this play, feel like it's just happen beside, like it's real. At the end of the movie, it shows a moment of Shylock, he didn't wear the red hat that the Jewish people should wear it. His eyes are puzzled, filled with eternal regret, that expression gives audience a feeling that Shylock is not take Antonio's defeat lying down. Also besides hate, his eyes are full of sorrow as well, he might sad about his cannot be a Jewish people, or his beloved daughter-Jessica. In all, that moment, people kindly forget how merciless his was, how cruel and cold hearted was. So in my own opinion, characterization is extremely successful. Besides, the music part also attractive. most of time, the guitar played or the singers sang the drawn-out sound and gives people feel tranquil. Like the still hours before dawn. In conclusion, this movie make this play full of life by letting the actresses and actors shows the different character's characteristic. That's why sometimes people want watch a movie first instead of reading a book or a play. Because they could seize the characters psychologies, that help them to have more understanding about the books or plays as well.

In my opinion, I'm highly disagree with the outcome is justice. First, When Antonio asked Shylock to lend money to him, Shylock said to him" A pound of man's flesh taken from a man", also he said " to buy his favor, I extend this friendship; if he will take it, so, if not, adieu." (1.3.165,167-168) So before Antonio seal unto this bond, Shylock doesn't force him to sign it, he already mentioned whether you can sign it or not. But the point is Antonio signed it. so that means each side has to follow what the agreement said. Antonio lost his ships and according to the agreement, Shylock should get his bond. I admit a bond of human flesh is cruel. But when Antonio called him dog," You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog, and spit upon my Jewish gaberdine." did he even think about what Shylock feel about his language. Also when Portia saying" This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood." Words are powerful, but sometimes words cannot be written completed every time. Who will write the agreement like this-Three ducats to be paid on time, or about a bond of human flesh with blood?" that's ironic.

Translate Act 3 Scene 3 P61 Shylock: Jailer,see him. don't tell me it's my mercy. This is the fool that leads out money for no interest. Jailer, see him. Antonio: You hear me, good Shylock. Shylock: I'll have my flesh bond, I speak here is not against my bond, I have sworn that I'll have my flesh bond. You called me dog before you asked me to lend you money.Be careful of my sharp teeth. The duke should give me justice, I'm curious, you wicked jailer. that you art is so foolish to come out of the jail with him at his asking. Antonio: I beg you hear me what I'm going to say. Shylock: I'll have my bond, I will not listen to what you're going to say. I'll have my bond and so do not say anymore. My heart will not become soften and I'll not be easily deceived. I'll not abandon my cruel treatment, feel sad and submit my will to Christian intermediaries. You can follow or not, I'll not talk to you, I'll have my bond. Solanio: He is an aggressive dog and seemed the most impossible to go through. Antonio: let him go by himself, I'll not follow him with pointless prayers.He lacks my life, I know very well about his reason. I oft received from his transgression. Many times he complained to me, and then he hates me. Solano: I'm sure that the duke will never allow his crime to pertain.

They all have great amount money, but their abilities are not enough.
