What are the diffrences in the book and movie of Midsummer Night Dream by shakespeare?

Answer 1

The "book" is a play script, intended to be performed on a stage by live actors. Any film (unless it is a filming of a stage play) has a screenplay, not a play script. Film scripts are different from play scripts in a number of ways, since it is possible to do things with films that you cannot do with plays and vice versa. Film can take advantage of certain special effects which are not available in live performances. Film can also cut easily and quickly from one scene to another, without any need for set changes. A play, on the other hand can show you what a number of people are doing separately from each other at the same time. A live audience can keep tabs on them in a way that a film camera cannot. One difference you will find is that when the play was written, a script if fully performed lasted three hours or more, but likely was cut back for performance. These days, people do not normally want to watch either a play or a film which lasts three hours plus so something must go. I cannot comment on what specifically may have been cut from the movie you are watching since a number of movies have been made from this play and they all have different screenplays.

Answer 2

One key difference between the book and movie versions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare is the visual interpretation. The movie offers a visual representation of the characters and setting, while the book relies on the reader's imagination. Additionally, directors may take creative liberties in adapting the play into a movie, altering elements such as the setting, costumes, or character interpretations.
