Happiness waits for someone (rewrite)

I watched Much Ado about Nothing. The movie was released on May 7, 1993 in America. But William Shakespeare wrote Much Ado about Nothing in 1600. It is a story about comedy. It was made into movies. The director of Much Ado about Nothing is Kenneth Branagh. The movie earned more than $22 million at the box office. Kenneth Branagh as Benedick, he is companion of Don Pedro. Keanu Reeves as Don John, he is a Don Pedro’s evil younger brother. Denzel Washington as Don Pedro, is a prince of Aragon. Robert Sean Leonard as Claudio, he is a count, companion of Don Pedro. Emma Thompson as Beatrice, she is a Leonato’s niece. Richard Briers as Leonato, he is the father of Hero. Kate Beckinsale as Hero, she is innocent only child of Leonato. 

              On the field, the people go on a picnic. They are reading a poem. Then, a man comes to them and Don Pedro is coming. The news makes them happy and excited! Some of them are shouting with joy. Some of them are hugging each other. They are running for the town. They are taking the bath. They are laughing. They look very happy. The party of Don Pedro arrives at Leonato’s house. Leonato welcomes them. Then, Claudio looks at Hero. Claudio falls in love with Hero at first sight. Claudio wants to marry Hero. Benedick always has a quarrel with Beatrice. Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a very “merry war.” They are both very glib, and they proclaim their scorn for love, marriage, and each other. They always make other people a laugh. Claudio is pure, so he can’t confide his feelings to her. Don Pedro knows his feeling and he has an idea. The idea is simple. Don Pedro poses as Claudio, and he proposes to Hero in a party. Claudio thinks it is a good idea. He wishes it good success. He is crazy about Hero, he always thinks about Hero. Don Pedro supports his feelings. But, Benedick is a confirmed bachelor, so he thinks he does not marry no matter what happens. He declares to Don Pedro and Claudio that if he gets married someone, he craves words on a gravestone. He doesn’t believe love. So, Don Pedro says love is good. But Benedick doesn’t even believe Don Pedro’s words.

           The man looks at them. The man’s name is Borachio. Borachio tells Don John about their story. Don John wants to be an obstacle, because Don John is Don Pedro’s younger brother and he doesn’t like Don Pedro.

           In the party, Don John tells Claudio about Don Pedro falls in love with Hero, his feeling is truth. So, Don Pedro proposes to Hero in the party for himself. Of course, it is an outright lie. Don Pedro cannot have betrayed Claudio. But Claudio cannot afford to worry about see through his lie. Claudio feels sad, and a tear rolls down his cheek. Then, Don Pedro and Hero appear in front of Claudio. Claudio assumes a look of clam, and he says to Don Pedro about a heard story from Don John. Don Pedro is laughing and he flatly denies about the story. Hero is smiling. Claudio becomes happy soon, and he is smiling too. Claudio walks up to Hero, and he holds her. All the members jump for joy. Leonato complies with the Claudio’s proposition to Hero. Their wedding ceremony is held after a week.

           Don Pedro wants to arrange a couple between Benedick and Beatrice. People other than Benedick and Beatrice are playing, they are telling a lie. It is a rumor which Benedick loves Beatrice and Beatrice loves Benedick. Benedick and Beatrice believe it, they love each other.

           On the other hand, Don John and Borachio plot to a hindrance to Claudio and Hero’s wedding ceremony. The scheme succeeds! Claudio is neatly taken in by the trick. Hero doesn’t have an affair with Borachio. In the wedding, Claudio says ‘I cannot get married with Hero, she is not pure.’ Hero cannot believe what Claudio is saying, and she falls down in a faint. The part of Hero wants to clear Hero’s suspicion. Borachio is glad to succeed the scheme, and he tells a fellow about the scheme. They are in a good humor, but night watchmen listen to it. Borachio and a fellow are held. Don John escapes from the town.

           Hero is found innocent. Claudio wants to meet Hero again. Just then, Hero appears. Claudio is so happy. Claudio apologizes to Hero, and proposes again. Hero’s answer is…Of course, ‘YES.’ And Benedick proposes to Beatrice. They are bound together by love. But they start to engage in a very “merry war” again. All people are laughing. Then, Don John is held. Apart from a problem of Don John, they are dancing and laughing.

           It is a movie of love. I hardly watch movies of love. I like horror movies better than it, so I was looking forward to watching it. I watched it with Saki, Hikari and Kanoko in the school library when we had a free time.

           I like a character of Don Pedro, because he is a grand duke and he always gives advice to Claudio and other people. Don Pedro is very kind and manly. I think he remains single all through his life. He keeps his presence of mind in the movie. But he didn’t keep his presence of mind when he was deceived by a Don John’s lie which Hero was not pure and she met a strange man who was different Claudio. But, finally, they become happy and laughing. Benedick can get married. It was a very interesting movie. I want to watch movies wrote by Shakespeare.  (955/13873 words)
