On Monday the 25th of January 2016 the clssrooms IVth IT and Tourism saw the movie "Macbeth" at the Apollo movie theatre of Milan.
The teachers Bruno and Tremolada said:
"The students were given the chance to see the movie "Macbeth" which had recently been released in its original language, the language of Shakespeare.
The students could folow the Italian subtitles that didn't anyway diminish the value of its contents.
Giving a visible shape to this very famous tragedy was the added value of this initiative.
This cultural event aims at conveying the studying of Shakespeare through a number of in-depths like this move and the theatre show "Romeo and Juliet and - Love and change the world".
Through the pair work of the Italian and the English teachers the students were introduced to “the way of doing theatre” of this great playwright. His way to use the stage, to make actors speak and to put the protagonists always in the core of the play by stressing their inner feelings and their fears make his works modern nowadays as they used to be in the past.
No-one like him after many centuries could inspire new movies, new novels and even songs besides being shown in all the theatres of the world.
Finally his language and his metrics can still teach a lot to our students either regarding modern English or the Anglo-Saxon languages in general.
One of our students said: " I was quite puzzled about that, I was convinced it was a common action movie that would distort the original plot. When we arrived at the cinema we realized it was in English with Italian subtitles. When the movie started I was really surprised since I saw that the lines in Italian were exactly the same as the ones in English so I found the movie really interesting and since I had already read the original verison I think I could appreciate it even more."
