We have seen 5 movies: Shakespeare Wallah, Macbeth, Pygmalion, Streetcar Named Desire and As You Like It. I think my favorite movie is Pygmalion; not because of the love issue in the movie, but because I could see how the lower class people wanted to learn a proper way of speaking English so that she can become a lady. I am really impress with the heroin as she can totally changed her way of speaking into a really good manner way. I do not think that I can do like her, instead I definitely can’t be like her. That is really too difficult for me.
As for Shakespeare Wallah, what I interested in this movie is plays by William Shakespeare that mentioned in the movie. At least I can know a bit about the setting stage of William Shakespeare’s plays in this movie. The setting of the stage is really a big works; many things have to be considered to do a play. For example, the custom of the actors, the background of the stage and a lot more. All these preparations make me impress!
Macbeth, a violent movie; yet I think it is suitable during that time. It is a war movie, so I think violent must be included in it. In this movie I got a message about the greed of human. The greed of power and wealth can change a person from loyal person to a betrayer. The fear of losing power will lead a person to become cruel until he will kill kids and disrespect to women. So, as a human, we should control our desire, because desire is the main reason of leading us to do improper things.
The other two movies (Streetcar Named Desire and As You Like It), are quit interesting too. If I have a chance, I would go and watch these plays in theatre. I think that will be a very interesting!

Eunice, this course cost us to watch lots of movie right?huhu. I think we all enjoyed watched those movies although sometimes we are quite blurred with the plot of certain movie. You are intereted to Pygmalion? that a nice movie. The lady was so determined to change herself to be a better person. I amazed with her determination. In Shakespeare Wallah, I agree of Eunice that lots of setting in the movie. This might probably will help us to get some idea for our own play next semester. So scared when thinking about this. All in all, I think Dr. Edwin done a great job making us watch those movie. It is because, impossible for other people will watch this kind of movies unless, they are TesL students and those who take literature. Lots of literature elements in those movies.
As for me, the dramas that we watched are interesting but sometimes I don’t really understand about the drama especially Shakespeare Wallah. After reading your blog, I get a clearer picture that actually the drama is about the play in William Shakespeare. Some parts of the movie are real interesting such as Indian dance at the open air. It reflects different cultures in the movie that are the Western and the Eastern culture that is India.
Among all the movies, the movie that I like most is “As You Like It”. The movie shows a lot of beautiful sceneries in Japan and the Japanese culture that is the Sumo fight. The actresses are also beautiful. However, I still don’t really understand about this movie and need to find out more about it.
