The Film

I feel another person from a different country might instead of dismiss the city life and get rid of the things we value as american, they might embrace it. They might use their home and their traditions as their starting place but diverge away from what they are used to while settling into an American lifestyle. Someone from a different country might simply leave their pace of origin in order to find out what another lifestyle could be, only to go back to they knew by the end of the story. A change in scenery and adapting a whole new lifestyle can put things into perspective and make you appreciate what you did have. I believe thats wha tthe story of thempest reflects as well as the film we just watched in class.

The Film

The main changes i see within this film is the fact that it happens to have a more modern, present day touch. some of the characters also have a different twist to their role as well. Aretha who i assumed to be the Ariel charatcer played more as Phillips lover than slave, but at the sametime she made it seem like she was a slave to him, but in a joking manner. Another change is Phillip wasnt thrown out of the city, but instead he decided to quit and go move to a small island. Mazurskys perspective of contemporary American life seem to be focused on our need for material things and how we value money which is why I believed he had the phillip charatcer move to another country.
