Genre Cpmarison for the Movie and Shakespeare’s Play OthelloEssay title: Genre Cpmarison for the Movie and Shakespeare’s Play OthelloGenre Comparison“O” & OthelloMany tend to use the words: jealousy and jealous, as a description of an attitude or emotion; but few actually knows the definitions of these words. To be jealous has to do with or arose from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness. Jealousy is a jealous attitude or disposition. Jealousy is a very powerful emotion and has the potential to make people do various things. There is a statement for jealousy that states “jealousy kills”, although this was meant figuratively for the way that it can eat at someone mentally and emotionally. However “jealousy kills” can be very literal, in the cases of the movie “O” which is based off of the play Othello, by William Shakespeare. Both of these genres (stories) are clear evidence proving that jealousy truly does kill.
In the play Othello, by William Shakespeare, jealousy (figuratively) is the main character. For the fact that it plays a major role in the outcome of the play. William Shakespeares Othello is a tragic play about deception, manipulation, and revenge. The main character, Othello, is a powerful black military man who wins the love of a white woman named Desdemona. Their devotion to each other seems ideal, and it appears that Desdemona would do anything for Othello, even if it meant withstanding ridicule. The love between Othello and Desdemona, however, will be horrifyingly hindered, for the immoral Iago has plans to destroy their affection, but especially to destroy Othello himself. Iagos primary goal was to get revenge on Othello for not promoting him to lieutenant. Iago is clever. Iago is evil. In the eyes of others he is ironically perceived as honest and trustworthy, but inside he is a sinister villain. Iago is able to manipulate the minds of people into performing actions that are advantageous to him. “Honest Iago” is like a disguised wolf in the flock of sheep that guilefully pounces on each victim. Iago does not merely seek retribution against Othello in one single step, but rather, he cautiously and cleverly manipulates several people to trap the Moor. Iago uses people as if they were pawns; and he positions each one carefully, making moves that will finally corner Othello. He uses people such as Roderigo, Cassio, and even his own wife Emilia.
In the movie “O”, Odin is a Black student and star on the basketball team at Palmetto Grove high school (where all the other students and faculty are white). He is in love with Desi, whose father is the Dean; they share a loving and intimate relationship. However, even as he pretends to be Odins friend, Hugo, the coachs son, is intensely jealous of Odin. Odin gets the schools MVP trophy and he shares it with Michael, his “go to man,” rather than with Hugo; and most crushing to Hugo is that his father, Coach Duke Goulding, “loves Odin like a son”. Hugo feels that Odin soars above the crowd and that he can literally fly both on and off the basketball court (which is why Hugo compares Odin to a Hawk; and later on in the movie states that he always wanted to fly like a hawk). He sees O as proud, powerful, and determined-he has it all. Hugo fits into the social scene but not
s. He loves the world but as a Black and he is scared of it. As well he considers his destiny to become an attorney and to become a Black person in which he has had his own goals and aspirations.
Hang out with your friends and be an asshole.
This is the scene which is most associated with the film. It is most associated with The Black Panther movie where (for example) a young girl named Lulu makes “Battlestar Galactica,” to protect the Star City from Superpowers, but instead she goes back to acting. As she grows up, we get the sense that most Black people are really angry and resentful at the fact that things have gone so terribly wrong with the people they love, especially the Black people who are still very much a part of Earth. To many, this is the “Black experience.” Many people in this universe are only aware of the “Star City” and they become oblivious. One of the things I am grateful for, for me, is “Odin,” the story, is where it comes from. It came from the great hero who came to Earth one day and he was a god in a different way, not for any sort of special purpose, but for his eternal salvation and for everything he ever stands for and to protect from the dangers and destruction of the future. He loved the “Star City” and that is why he chose to help the people of Earth. That alone was a huge motivating factor when he was a kid and that is how people learned that there was a “Star City” to save, of course, but it also was a big factor that led to Earth’s destruction when Black people were not so capable of protecting that city against such evil. He saw the future and lived it. To many, “Joker” is the reason that Black people were born and so they know to stay away from the Black ones that are the more likely ones to take it any way they choose. This concept of an “Odin” inspired Joker and the movie has been written by his fellow black actors who are mostly Black actors such as Samuel Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, James McAvoy, etc: all to not only survive the Black and White events, but to make it a black role.
With the movie now over, it is no coincidence that the movie also features the use of Black actors. In the movie, the original crew members for the original “Black Panther” are played by white actors, so the crew members who play the roles of the original members from the original films, are played by Black actors.
When we look at the original screenplay and have it shown to you, even in one sitting, it was amazing. The story takes place long after Odin has left Earth for an unknown reason, and the character actor that can play and direct Odin was my inspiration to begin with. Even so, I am glad to say that I would have loved to have had an older (black actor, who should’ve been in a similar role when he created Joker) in the movie who plays the role for Loki at the heart, but this was the first time in my life in which a black actor played a role who was very dark
