Shakesspeare would mostly enjoy the slasher movies and epic horror films. we would have a different perspective on movies and flims if Shakesspeare were the director or writing of our box office movies. His movies would be absolutely breathtaking. He would set box office records. I know that he would be happy with alot of new advances that we have prgressed too , yet he would be dissapointed in an equal amount. For example, reality shows like Jersey Shore(my personal favorite) or The Real World , would make him realize how much more respect his day in age had. Even worse, what we decreased too.tc hancocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-78760451298300724312010-01-13T17:24:20.285-08:002010-01-13T17:24:20.285-08:00i think that shakespear would be in love with the ...i think that shakespear would be in love with the war and slasher movies we have today, mainly because thay loved real life executions and with all the special effects that we have in modern time that make everything look so reall shakespear would definetly like the advatages of this and make awsome movies and be a great director if he was alive noe, he was the greatest writer of his time and blood and making things look real was a big part of his plays. also i would have to say shakespear would hate the reality tv shows that are on television today they dont show talent anyone can be in one and also the people just act dumb. i think that he would say that its wierd and so would the elizabethans.natec hancocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-30742163057083448002010-01-13T08:48:12.177-08:002010-01-13T08:48:12.177-08:00I think that some of our horror movies would be pe...I think that some of our horror movies would be perfect for shakespeare because he would like movies that have a lot of gory scenes and blood in them.

They had already started to act it out and use props and effects to enhance the performance. I think he would also love our dramas today. He would really like how realistic our plays are on broadway and also our sitcoms and tv dramas can be. Also, he owuld be interested in out reality shos, such as Jersey Shore, The Real World, The Bachelor, etc. They could help him study the way people act on certain situations and help him to better write his pieces.JulFowler hancocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-20929512599099372922010-01-10T16:37:58.417-08:002010-01-10T16:37:58.417-08:00Many Elizabethans loved gory movies with bloddy fi...Many Elizabethans loved gory movies with bloddy fight scenes. I think that movies today would disappoint them. They loved the hard, explicit street hangings and jousting contests. In today's movies, they pull out a gun and it's all over. The "gruesomness" factor that they loved is gone. Shows like Jersey Shore and Die Hard would also disappoint them. I mean come on, no one has gotten beheaded in an eposide yet! Also, the petty bar fights and arguments would seem stupid to them. In their time, if you had a problem, you would fight to the death, not just fight until the cops came. Shakespere would also be appalled by the lack of common cortiousy. People today do not treat others with half the respect they used to. I think that Shakespere would be offended by the constant use of unmentionable four letter words. As far as movies and film, I think that Shakespere would be proud of our advancments. The special effects and props we are able to use are beyond his belief! Shakespere would definately take advantage of everything we had today if he were to make a movie.bt barnacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-53902177989925616012010-01-10T13:47:50.006-08:002010-01-10T13:47:50.006-08:00I think that Shakespeare would find our horror mov...I think that Shakespeare would find our horror movies interesting. He would probably be overwhelmed by the process of making them. <br />our advances in technology have helped producers create visual effects that make the movie feel real without watching it in person like Shakespeare's plays. The details of film making would be intriguing to him, and I think he would make good movies. Shakespeare would probably not be very satisfied with some of our television shows. The reality shows we have on tv are not exactly relevant to anything. They're random and have people on the shows that aren't actors. They're just random people being filmed to fight and create drama. Shakespeare would most likely be bored with this. If shakespeare lived in this time i believe he would be into making plays and movies. With our resources in movie making he would have a great time making unique films and plays.js power rangersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-14866096793510959502010-01-09T18:00:55.660-08:002010-01-09T18:00:55.660-08:00I think Macbeth would be very happy with the advan...I think Macbeth would be very happy with the advancements in our technology to project the gory effects of horror films. Whenever I watch horror movies from many years ago, I automatically can tell how old it is because of how fake it looks. Now, movies like the Saw series and Hostile are the most gruesome movies out there, and they look completely real. Shakespeare would love them. I believe those movies are disgusting, but the reality of the blood and guts shows the reality of the situation. I think Macbeth would hate shows like Jersey Shore. I think he would feel they serve no purpose, don’t have a good story line and enough action. Die Hard is in the middle, because there isn’t much blood and guts but it does have a somewhat good story line and is fully action packed. I think Macbeth would be better off in a digital world. I think he’d be able to easily show more the violence in a more believable way.jt barnacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-22089418711435897022010-01-08T21:20:52.272-08:002010-01-08T21:20:52.272-08:00I believe Shakespeare would enjoy our enhancement ...I believe Shakespeare would enjoy our enhancement digitally and would use it to his advantage. Shakespeare is a composer and director, one of the most famous of all time. Being able to film his plays, drastically enhance the picture, and sequence any gory, special effect scene he wanted to would just be his dream come true. I think Shakespeare would like the idea of being able to show his work to people everywhere. Shakespeare tried to be as artistic as possible; having so many new artistic additions would greatly increase his work. Shakespeare. Could have shown characters really die with realistic blood from the exact angle. Shakespeare would probably love the die hard movies; they’re bloody, tragic, and intense, with a somewhat complicated plot. He may even like the idea of actually being able to see people’s lives take place (reality TV). The shows would be real tragedies with complicated love triangles and experiences.aw barnacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-64030399163358798852010-01-08T20:36:32.595-08:002010-01-08T20:36:32.595-08:00In my opinion the ideas and points to be in are th...In my opinion the ideas and points to be in are the same as shakespearian times. The way some may express themselvs, like in Jersey shore is a little bit outlandish and unrealistic but it IS drama. As we all know there is drama in Shakspears' plays as well as our reality shows. It's just a difference in modern times and how we express ourselves. The gore however is always something a audience has enjoyed. From the plays to the movies, it keeps peopl on their toes.KEM Hancocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-32858252178382551892010-01-08T20:35:19.657-08:002010-01-08T20:35:19.657-08:00I think that Shakespeare would be very impressed w...I think that Shakespeare would be very impressed with some of the television shows and movies that we have today. Today their is a wide range of films tv shows and music that is a avaliable. I think that Shakespeare would really enjoy the works of Will Ferrel mostly because of the comedy that Shakespeare put into his plays. I think that he would love actions movies with a lot of brutality involved. Just reading about how desciptive the killing of MacDonald was in "Macbeth" shows how much Shakespeare appreciated a good action movie. An action movie I think he would like in perticular is "300", I don't know what it is about it that makes it a perfect fit for Shakespeare, but it probabaly would be the intense fighting scenes and gore. As for drama, I don't think that Shakespeare would be too into a show like the "Real World" or any reality show like that. But I think that you might find Shakespeare watching an hour of the Jersey Shore or the Hills in once a week, just to get his drama fix like many of us do. As for music I think that he would be a huge fan of Taylor Swift because of how a lot of her songs are about love, just like some of his sonnets. I don't think that he would be too into rap but I think that he would respect the lyrical genius of Eminem and Lil Wayne. If Shakespeare was still around today I think he would have to get used to a lot, but for the most part I think he would enjoy our forms of entertainment.EJG Power Rangersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-25846735575455869792010-01-08T20:19:59.782-08:002010-01-08T20:19:59.782-08:00I think Shakespeare would like our movies and show...I think Shakespeare would like our movies and shows today. He would like the blood and killing in our entertainment because its just like theirs only ours is more realistic and gorey. The newest Rambo movie is one of the goriest movies ive seen and i think the technology in which they were killed with would interest him because he has never seen weapons like that that can do the damage they do. Also the ways people fall in love today may be different then in his day so i think that too would interest him. Like in their time a women might not have a choice to marry someone and today they do so he would maybe like or dislike this. And finally the way we watch our entertainment is different from the way he watched things so that may interest him. He watched plays and read books and we watch tv and movies and listen to radios so that would be a new experience for him that would please him. Thats what I think about how I think Shakespeare would react to our ways of entertainment today.JKS Hancocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-34458595748365206052010-01-08T20:14:03.511-08:002010-01-08T20:14:03.511-08:00I believe that Shakespeare would be disgusted with...I believe that Shakespeare would be disgusted with the entertainment of our generation.I will start off by using jersey shore as an example. Even though I enjoy this show and find it funny I think Shakespeare would be embarrassed that entertainment. He would be discraced that people watch that show. I think he would enjoy some movies for an example The Departed. I think that he would dislike the Saw series because it is so gory it almost takes it to far. I think he would want to give everyone lessons on how to make a movie or a show and every director would look at him like he was crazy. His type of entertainment would never be able to stay around for to long. Many of his stories are still around but the youth of this generation likes todays shows like Family Guy and South Park which are completely different.

Shakespeare would really enjoy the, “slasher” movies because he is known for having quite gruesome novels and movies. Even though our kind of horror has changed since Shakespeare I still think he would find them quite interesting. However, I think that he would have mixed feelings about, Jersey Shore. Shakespeare wrote very over dramatic plays just like, MTV's Jersey Shore. I cant lie Jersey Shore is one of the best shows on television. Both Jersey Shore and Shakespeare have a solid line of followers. When you either read one of his novels, or watch an episode you cant stop thinking about it.eschieffer barnacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-64530242717021685642010-01-08T19:57:35.355-08:002010-01-08T19:57:35.355-08:00Seeing as the Elizabethans loved such gruesome ent...Seeing as the Elizabethans loved such gruesome entertainment as bear-baiting, actual sheep's blood on the sets of their plays, and public capital punishments such as hangings, burning at the stakes, and more extreme things of that nature, I'm positive that most of the movies of this century would intrigue Shakespeare and entertain him immensely. Our horror movies such as "Saw" and "Silence of the Lambs" would satisfy his need for blood and gore and I think the movies in this genre would be in his elements. As a whole though, I feel like he would see today's entertainment as quite pointless and probably even degrading to society. The comedy, romance, and sci-fi movies presented to us today and even our tv shows are influenced by lust and sex. Back in Shakespeare's day I'm sure they were entertained by this just as much but they would feel like the women of today were too forward and that men had lost their poetic ways to a woman's heart. "Jersey Shore" is a prime example of this. 'The Situation' alone proves how unskilled some men have become in wooing a girl into giving them what they want. Overall there would most likely be some pretty good feelings of how our entertainment has evolved and then some not-so-good feelings but since Shakespeare could be seen as a man way ahead of his time, I'm sure he could except most of it and adapt to the changes of time.RES banacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-9081278373982838362010-01-08T19:38:45.555-08:002010-01-08T19:38:45.555-08:00I think that Shakespeare would be very impressed a...I think that Shakespeare would be very impressed about how far the theater world has come. We have so many actors with all different talents, we have movie theaters, Broadway plays, and all of the special effects we now add to movies, television shows, and even shows presented on a live stage, to make them even more amazing. I think Shakespeare would really enjoy a movie such as Die Hard because of all the violence and action. I think he would also enjoy movies such as The Titanic and Pearl Harbor. They are both love stories, but are tragedies also. Pearl Harbor is also filled with some action too. I think he would be very pleased with all of our action and love stories, but have a hard time adjusting to our reality television shows, such as Jersey Shore. Shows like Jersey Shore honestly have to point to them, except to entertain us. I think Shakespeare may find it outrageous and ridiculous that shows like that are actually shown. To us they entertain us, but to him it would absolutely bore him because they have no story line to them. I think he would find it very shocking to see how much our world, in a sense, has gotten out of hand. Some shows and movies, for example The Secret Life of the American Teenager, resemble how respect has just gone out the window. How little respect there truly is for anyone any more. I also think Shakespeare would be surprised, yet interested, in how much technology has increased since his time. All of the special effects and neat things that are added to movies to make them better he would enjoy. I think he would be very happy with the creativity people have come up with. Overall, some things Shakespeare would love and other things would just not catch his interest.agarniewski barnacle boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-37704955622653656162010-01-08T19:26:43.625-08:002010-01-08T19:26:43.625-08:00I think that Shakespeare would love our slasher an...I think that Shakespeare would love our slasher and explicit movies. With today’s technology, we can make all of the bloody and gory scenes in movies look very real. Since Shakespeare loved writing these particular scenes for the stage he would definitely love seeing them in our movie theatres. Most of our movies also portray situations that are parallel to what is happening in the real world. However, he would probably think that all of reality shows are frivolous. He would think that they are too fake and that they don’t depict real life realistically. I believe that most Elizabethans would find it a bit odd that we love romance; romantic comedies and pretty much anything else with a happy ending as much as we do considering that they really enjoyed more action packed piecesmm Barnacle Boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-47308959547387143042010-01-08T18:56:42.004-08:002010-01-08T18:56:42.004-08:00I think that Shakespeare would consider our love o...I think that Shakespeare would consider our love of slasher movies and explicit war films tame compared plays and stories of the Elizabethan era. Even though movies like the Saw series are extremely gory and violent most of the blood and gore is computer generated or fake. In Shakespeare’s time real blood was used and sometimes actors in the plays got hurt from acting just a little too much. Elizabethans would think many of our customs today are strange especially reality TV shows like The Hills and Jersey Shore. If one of them watched either of these shows they would probably be wondering where the action was and what is the point of watching a show about someone else’s life. Elizabethans would probably like the movie Die Hard because there is a lot of action, adventure and violence just like some of the plays of their time. In a digital world Shakespeare would have a lot of fun with special effects once he got use to them. He would probably intensify the blood and gore in his plays to make them seem more realistic. Also he would probably be able to modernize his plays and make them easier for us to understand them. For example the remake of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo Dicaprio even with all of Shakespeare’s original words is easier to understand than if you are just reading the words. Overall I think Shakespeare would have adapted to our technology and understanding of life very well and would have probably made many creative movies that we would really enjoy.ang barnacle boysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-65223984941590843352010-01-08T18:21:21.022-08:002010-01-08T18:21:21.022-08:00I think Shakespeare would probably enjoy a movie l...I think Shakespeare would probably enjoy a movie like Die Hard because it is violent and gory and he could relate.

Our ideas of "reality" would probably seem incredibly fake to him. Shakespeare however would probably be amazed at the special effects technology affords. (how you can create a bloody scene without having to kill a pig). As a fan of 'Survivor' I think a Elizabethan version would be extremely interesting. Macbeth would probably win all the psychical individual immunity challenges against someone as young as Young Siward or Malcolm but Macduff could definitely give Macbeth a run for his money in the mental competitions.mnbarnacleboysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-85417449180526765612010-01-08T15:42:33.148-08:002010-01-08T15:42:33.148-08:00I think Shakespeare would enjoy all the horror and...I think Shakespeare would enjoy all the horror and slasher movies that were out today. All the blood, violence, and gore would intrigue him. Shakespeare wrote tragedies with such violence but did not have all the tools to express all that he wanted to. I think with today’s technology and advancements in movies and TV, Shakespeare would be going to see all the horror movies. If he were a director today, his movies would be absolutely breathtaking. He would set box office records. Putting together his stories and scripts with all the technology would make an unforgettable movie. I believe that he would not like any of the reality TV shows though. Shows like Jersey Shore would disappoint him. Basically now days anyone can a reality TV show for doing absolutely nothing. I don’t think that he would have liked it because it is only about people who just want to become famous. There is no special meaning or plot behind any reality show. He would be disappointed in what America has come to be about and what is now promotes. The Elizabethans stood for a lot more than “punching girls over shots” and “fist pumping.” Shakespeare would definitely be into all the technology and the horror movies and that kind of stuff. But, reality tv would disappoint him and I think he would think it’s a waste of time and money.bb azerokanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-2708834916041531842010-01-08T14:23:39.527-08:002010-01-08T14:23:39.527-08:00I think that Shakespeare and the Elizabethans woul...I think that Shakespeare and the Elizabethans would think that our fascination with slasher movies and violence was tame because as was mentioned before they loved a public spectacle. If they liked watching gruesome battles in public then they should have no problem becoming fans of some off the "blood and guts" type of movies we have today. They would be drawn towards more of a Saw movie rather than an action packed movie like Die Hard. The special effects in movies like Die Hard and Transformers probably would be a favorite of Shakespeare because they were very "hands on" in the plays. They would probably want to carry on that same showmanship with movies. Also i doubt they would find Jersey Shore, or any reality show, very interesting and may even find it odd. They probably wouldn't understand the reality show's transformation from seeing "real people's" lives to throwing five people in a house an seeing what happens. Some aspects of our "digital world" would amaze and excite the Elizabethan people, and others wouldn't excite them that much. But I do think they would adjust well to glitz and glamour of the current movie/television business.cberry Barnacle Boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-50838526793118328732010-01-08T14:16:35.020-08:002010-01-08T14:16:35.020-08:00Tyler Weaver hancock

Directors are getting more and more creative with the way people die in horror films; ecspecially the Saw series. The graphics and special effects would simply amaze Shakespeare. Though i think he would be a little disappointed in the plot lines. Unlike Macbeth, most slasher movies are just about crazy people who go after other people (usually teens)for really no reason. Macbeth's plot line took alot of thinking and planning. Shakespeare used symbols and the supernatural. For example: when the witches told Macbeth that "no one of woman born will harm him," Macbeth certainly was harmed because of Macduff's way of birth. Using this to compare with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the teens in the movie were just killed off one by one with no real point or reason to why they were chosen. As for "reality shows," I think if Shakespeare sat down and watched a few episodes of Jersey Shore, he'd most likely go and hang himself because that's how much of a disgrace it is. There's no point to the violence and no point to more than half of the arguements. Not to mention they don't even show Snooky get punched.

He will think that specific words used will be all wrong and not graceful like his graceful flowing plays. Our customs of gore and violence will be exactly of how they are. Most people enjoy gore and violence because it leaves them on there seats but what they probable will think is strange is the way we deal with punishment these days. In the old day, you would be hung but now you will have several trials and than put in jail. The punishment was much more severe back than. Shakespeare will like the drama is all the movies, books, TV and even music. The intensity of our culture today is breath taking by what makes us “Tick”. The drama in everything is so pure and without a doubt brutal. I think that Jersey Shore and Die Hard will entertain him (even though I have not seen either one). Macbeth would definitely be all for the survival of the fittest. I think that Macbeth would start out as a coward and never win a challenge but than he will slower start taking the credit. After he starts taking some of the credit, he will start to eliminate his top competitors so that he will come out on top. Lady Macbeth will be his partner that gives him all the ideas to push people down when they are low, to take advantage. She was the brain and Macbeth will be the Braun. <br /><br />(I hope I answered your last question as you wanted it to be, I was confused)epg HANCOCKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353639243147659120.post-8025524627953452982010-01-08T09:11:30.411-08:002010-01-08T09:11:30.411-08:00I think Shakespeare would be amazed by our films. ...I think Shakespeare would be amazed by our films. Plays took a lot of hardwork and planning, but so do movies. Movies take longer because of having to shoot it, edit it, etc. I think he'd be amazed by the special effects and realism thats brought to life through them. If he enjoyed gore, and blood, he'd have plenty of movies to choose from. Some are much more vulgar than others. I don't think he'd think of the films as tame. They could be seen as "tame" though, because he's actually seen people get killed before his eyes. I don't think any movie would compare to the real thing. He probably wouldn't be pleased with Jersey Shore because its planned, and sloppy. There's no real purpose for the violence, and no gore. Therefore, I don't think he'd like it. I can see Shakespeare enjoying the digital world and bringing his love for gore and plays to film if he was still alive today.Vs power rangernoreply@blogger.com
