O. is only better to us because it was designed for us

The films O. and Othello are both great representations of the Shakespeare play, Othello. It seems that most people in my class enjoyed the O. version of the play more than the Othello version. While I enjoy the O. version immensely, I enjoyed the original play more. The only reason my class enjoyed the O. version is because that version was made for our age group, and represents a more contemporary setting. I enjoy films that are closer to the original play, so I enjoyed the BBC version much more. I also believed the acting in the BBC version was superb, but then again, classical acting is usually better than film acting.
