Othello, "O" was better!

Othello is one of Williams Shakespeare greatest plays, written in 1603 and based on the Italian short story Un Capitano Moro. "O" is a 2001 film which is a modern day film from Othello. "O" I believe is a film young adults probably can relate too because of the time periods versus Othello. "O" is about a high school basketball player who's the only black guy. He attends a private white school and is the MVP on his team. He's been dating a white girl for about four months and her father was not aware of it. Her father was told that O was raping her or being to aggressive with his daughter. She finally told her father what was going on. However, O friend Hugo told him that Desi, his girlfriend, has been hanging out with another one of O friends and told him to be careful and watch. O has been seeing that but haven't said anything to Desi about. She believes everything is good between the between when its not. O pretends there nothing wrong and continue to spy on them. When its all said in done, O kills Desi and also kills himself. That also happened in Othello. Now, Why I say "O" is better then Othello is because Othello is the Literature virgin and "O" is the move recent so young adult my age can find it very interesting then watch Othello.
