The Importance Of Being Earnest

INSTRUCTIONS:

Watch the film The Importance of Being Earnest. This is a 2002 film with Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, and Reese Witherspoon.  Watching a film or stage version can create a different interpretation of a work of literature than simply reading it.  In a post of at least 250 words, comment on one or two things in the film that either enhanced your understanding of the play or changed your interpretation.  For example, was there a pun or joke you did not understand in the play that became clear when you watched the film? You can also challenge an interpretation of the film.  Was a scene or character portrayed in a different way than you imagined?  Do you think the filmmakers got something "wrong"?
