I had to read Othello for a Gr 11 English course. The reviews on this site don't show a teenagers point of view on this book . Basically, the beginning was hard to relate to the book, but as the movie went on we saw the modernizations Nelson did. I really liked the part where Hugo and Roger call the Dean to tell him about his daughter's relationship. In the book we see roderigo and iago do the same, but refer to racist words. The racism in this book was toned down in the movie, in the book we saw a lot of racism. Josh Hartnett's performance in this movie was incredible, before I saw O I watched Pearl Harbor, and his performance in this was much better than in Pearl Harbor. Overall I enjoyed the movie, and I'd recommend to anyone who liked the play. 8/10
