30 Days of Shakespeare, Day 20
Aug. 11th, 2010 10:32 pmDay #20: Your favourite movie adaptation of a play
To be honest, I almost put the Loncraine Richard III under this heading because it really does feel like an adaptation of Richard III that just happens to contain the same dialogue (a bit like Chimes at Midnight). But I will try to follow my own self-proclaimed definition that 'adaptation' denotes a Shakespearean plot without Shakespearean language.
And, that being the case -- and, perhaps this is a bit embarrassing -- I have to go with Ten Things I Hate About You. And not just because of Heath Ledger, although he is by no means insignificant.
( Seriously, this is kind of embarrassing. But there you go. )
