Well, I have actually learned a lot from both of these films.
- I had a better imagination of the event, the characteristics and the situations.
- The details that they have stated in the McKellen video where they read between the lines made the whole play of Richard III much more entertaining.
- The Pacino RIII film also made me understand the environment of that century so some of the lines of the play made more sense; a lot have changed since then.
- I had a much more clearer understanding about the bond between other characters and Richard rather than just reading them from a script.
- Sometimes, whilst I read through the script, the characters were vaguely understood, so they got mixed up with some of the other characters. After watching these films, I had a more vivid understanding.
It's good that the characters are clearer in your head now. It helps to remember that Shakespeare only every intended his plays to be shown on a stage, not read from a book! Think about whether you can include any of the details about what you've understood about the environment of that century from the Pacino film when you discuss context in your CA.
