Compare/Constrast -JC Movie & Book

Julius Caesar is a famous play written by Shakespeare. There is only one play, whereas many versions of the movie have been created. The movie has some parts cut out, probably because it was unnecessary or irrelevant to the movie scene. In the play, the actors have to move away from the scene when performing an aside, and the other characters gave to pretend that they aren't listening. In the movie, the character can just seem as if they are thinking it in their head and the camera can zoom into their face with their thoughts being told out loud. The movie takes less than one second to change scenes, whereas the curtains have to draw close every time a scene is changed. Also, the movie seems more realistic, because the set can change into real fields and buildings, whereas the set has to be made bit by bit and put on stage.
