O

The film "O" has a striking similarity to Othello, but it also very different. The film does offer a modern view of how Othello could happen. It was interesting that they chose the setting to be in a high-school. In a high-school, people tend to know other people's business through the gossip network and there are also many different cliques. I thought that this fit well for the setting, since it showed how Odin could believe Hugo's lies about Desi. It also showed how Odin didn't really fit into the rest of the groups, because he was not like everyone else. One difference that I didn't really like was that Odin died outside, and not in Desi's room. Seeing Othello die with Desdemona next to him shows their emotional attachment that Othello at the very least had here, but having Odin die outside showed how truly alone he was in his world.
