I watched two Othello films from Orson Welles and Laurence Fishburne / Kenneth Branagh production. Both have similar structures of the Othello story but also have different mood about the characters. From Orson Welles production, when Othello tried to kill Desdemona, his act like cruel and mood was jealousy and angry. So, it seems to readers that Othello didn’t love Desdemona anymore. However, from Laurence Fishburne / Kenneth Branagh production film has different mood like Othello still loves Desdemona. When he tried to kill Desdemona, he was crying for her like he didn’t want to kills Desdemona but no other choice than kills her. Also another difference from two films was when Othello slaps Desdemona’s face. In Orson production, Othello has conversation with Desdemona in front of the crowd and suddenly slaps her face. In the other hand, from Laurence Fishburne / Kenneth Branagh production took this scene as while Othello reading the letter, Desdemona keeps conversation with Casio and Othello got jealous from Desdemona then slaps her face.

If the reader likes to watch romance versions, I do prefer Laurence Fishburne / Kenneth Branagh production film because I think structure of the story is more understandable than the other. This production is showing well about how Othello feels change to Desdemona and how he thinks about her. Also, this production is color versions so it’s easier to watch than black and white versions.
