talking to oneself

A very wonderful experience. First, I stumbled upon the show at a theater five minutes walk from home, and then I bought a ticket. Before going to the drama, I planned to watch the movie first to prevent the drama from being lost. As a result, I saw that the last third of the time was in a hurry, so I left the suspense to the theater. It dawned on me just moments before finale. After returning home from the theater, I was still obsessed with it, and I watched the ending of the movie again. The plot of the movie and the play are the same, but some of the details are different. And thanks to the fact that I watched the movie ahead of time, the American accent was a little friendlier to me than the pure London accent with the accent. What's interesting about the movie is the reconstruction of the role of the lawyer. Calm, composed, arrogant, shrewd; plus a lovely nurse lady as a humour; very clever and suitable for the film's deconstruction. Drama is different, clever, sarcastic, and agile; the characters often have exaggerated body movements to express aggression. And the wife, a stern, self-controlled woman in the movie and a glamorous and seductive woman in the play; but they both couldn't help but fall in love with a hypocrite. What impresses me is that the encounter between the hero and the victim is changed into a gorgeous hat, and this hat becomes the opportunity for their second encounter; this change is very natural and suitable for the screen. When adapting movie plays, it is often necessary to pay attention to character deconstruction, realize the multiplicity of characters and try to present them in a more flat way. Spread things out.
