V‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍iewing: The Merchant of Venice, dir. M. Radford, (with Al Pacino). Merchant of Venice Shakespeare Using information gleaned from your study of Shakespeare’s play (both from the text itself and from lecture/discussion), evaluate the assigned film. Remember that while Shakespeare’s playtext provides the essential screenplay, a film or stage production is able to shape (or re-shape) meaning. Avoid subjective judgme‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍nts (what you “liked” or didn’t “like”). Instead, assume the role of an expert on the play, addressing the relationship between the updated film and Shakespeare’s play. As much as possible, try and link your observations of the film with a related aspect of Shakespeare’s text. No outside sources. Only the play and movie can be used as sources If you need a link for the movie https://www.youtube.com/‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍watch?v=wVaeXnk1tGE
