function of scenery in Branaghs movie version of Much Ado About Nothing
A Greek To Do In Kenneth Branagh’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, scenery, costume, casting and music come together to create a film with a distinct aura of Greek myth. Much Ado About Nothing is set in Tuscany, Italy. ... The majority of the costumes in this film are white, a color with connotations to purity, whimsy and antiquity, all of which tie closely to Greek myth, though in Greek myth purity is something which is played at while in Much Ado About Nothing, it is very much a reality. ... The casting for this movie was superb. ... The only bad bit of casting in this movie was Keanu Reeves (Don John) whose acting abilities peaked at Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. ... The score of Much Ado About Nothing was for the most part very grand, sweeping orchestra music.
