For staters, a few scenes were altered in the storyline and some of the lines were removed. For example, Desdemona and Othello did not have any sex scenes in the play. They never had the chance to seal their marriage with all the events from the war with the Turks to the drama between everyone occurring. A few lines were removed but that may be due to the fact that, since it is a movie, those lines may not be needed because we can see the character’s facial expressions and actions. We can decipher what they feel or how they are processing the information around them. My favorite aspect of the movie is seeing the actor playing Iago. The actor did a great job playing such a sinister role. His single dialogues are where we are reminded of his true face. He blends in well with the rest of the characters and he hides his intentions well as he acts as a guide to Othello throughout his trauma. He even preforms a little ritual with Othello, proclaiming his loyalty to his as a “blood brother”, where they draw blood from their palms and shake on it. He also provides Desdemona comfort when she goes to Iago for help on settling her fears on what Othello accuses her of and calls her.
This meme is in reference to the relationship between Othello and Iago. Iago is a dishonorable friend to Othello and Othello is completely clueless to it until the end of play and by that time, he already killed his wife and it is too late to do anything.
