Upon learning that we were going to be watching "The Importance of Being Earnest" I was kind of happy. Simply because its an AP English class, not often to you get to just watch something and after coming out of just having read Hamlet (a play I do really like) it was a nice break.
Even with that said, I still had my doubts as to how well I would actually like the movie, I figured that it would be okay, but not necessarily anything I would ever again want to watch. Oh how I was wrong.
I'm just going to come out and say it: I freaking loved this movie. I found it whimsical and funny, but not in the laugh out loud comedy way that must funny movies tend to be funny in, but as in the intellectual funny so that it made you think and actually digest what was happening. I liked the fact that the movie was completely serious, yet the dialogue in it is utterly outrageous.
I really liked the movie, I'm glad that we had a chance to watch a play that seemed more modern and was an easier assignment than most anything else that we've done. I do like a lot of the other assignments but something simple and easy at the end of semester was really nice.
Also I really did like the use of literary devices and irony and satire that was present in the movie.
