How do you write a personal response on a comparison of movie adaptations?This is for The Taming of the Shrew. I have to make a comparison between...

While I have my personal opinions of these three movies,
you need to write a response that is grounded in your personal reaction to them.  A
solid approach to crafting a response to your assignment is watch each of the three
movies and make notes about what you liked and didn't like in each version.  As you
watch ask yourself how closely the movie matches the Shakespearean text.  What are the
strengths and weaknesses in regards to screen play, casting, setting, costumes
etc.


It seems that your job is write your opinions, making
sure to comment about the a particular aspect of a movie in light of the other
versions.  If you like the casting of Katherine in one movie, explain why, and in that
explaination be sure to comment on the casting of Katherine in at least one of the other
versions.  If you like the modern language, explain why the traditional language of the
other movies didn't suit you.  As long as you balance your discussion you should be in
good shape.
