Oliver Parker has done such an amazing job by adapting the original play to a movie. He follows the same plot, and I think it is an excellent idea to keep the original and try to illustrate the play as it is. It is true that is similar to the original but the dialogues do not match in all cases, some of them are drop as well as some of them are add. This is because Oliver Parker wants to keep the play as realistic as possible.

However there is a big difference from reading a play and watching a play; both of them use the sense of the sight but just the movie use the sense of hearing. This is why so important for Oliver Parker to change some of the dialogues plus add some pauses to give a different environment and feeling to the play. Sometimes a fact speak louder than words, meaning that watching the movie sometimes we do not need the dialogues just by looking what the characters are doing or what they are not we can tell their feelings or what they want to transmit us.

A good example it is when Brabantio come up to Othello to groan about her stolen daughter by saying, ‘‘O, thou foul thief, where hast thou stowed my daughter?, Damned as thou art, thou hast enchanted her! Whether a maid so tender, fair, and happy, So opposite to marriage… Lay upon on him. If he do resist, subdue him at his peril’’ (2.2.80-100) By reading the whole quotation in the book and comparing it with the movies dialogue ‘‘Barbantio: O, thou foul thief, where hast thou stowed my daughter?, Damned as thou art, thou hast enchanted her! Lay upon on him.’’ (09:30) we can notice that the movie use silences to emphasize the power and the anger of the Senator, Desdemona’s father. As well we notice that the book use so many adjectives or verbs that bring up the concept of power. Those are to fear, to resist, to stole, abuser of the world, thief, peril…etc It is obvious that all those words by Barbantio have something in common, and he was trying to show his superiority and anger to Othello and how he does not deserve his daughter. On the other hand the movie just keeps a quiet and intense background with powerful but brief words. Those words or silences are helped by the visual images where the characters use an intense look to show their power.
