Analysis Othello movie 1

In the movie “Othello 1995,” the part when Othello slap Desdemona was interesting and caught my attention because the way he hit her was priceless. Othello hit Desdemona because Iago told his wife Biana to steal the handkerchief from Desdomona’s room that Othello gave her and put it in Cassio’s room to make it seem as if Desdemona gave it to him. Iago went to give the handkerchief to Othello and told him it was in Cassio’s room. In the movie it shows more action on how he was talking to her with a nice tone then he starts to get anger when she said she didn’t have the handkerchief and he starts to get louder then he slaps her in her face. The movie makes the slap more emotional and you could actually feel it. But in the play, Othello was just having a conversation with Desdemona but you don’t know how Othello tone is while talking to her when you reading it and at the end Othello exist the room without slapping her. This part of the movie explains more on what went down when Othello and Desdemona was having a conversation about the handkerchief in more details. When Othello slap Desdemona I felt bad for her while watching the movie because it was so loud and more realistic I felt it myself through the screen. But reading the play it don’t say nothing about Desdemona getting slap, I was just normal reading it because it was no excitement in the play like it was in the movie. It was boring reading this part in the play. So for this part, it is best to watch the movie then read the play because it is more live action in movie than in the play. In the movie when Othello slap Desdemona her head went the other way and i found that part amaze too because that insist his slap was hard.http:/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gNLaro4vKs&list=PLE2433AB3CE37401C&index=14
