"Othello" and "O"

Both Othello and O have the same motive behind them regardless of the characters race.
The youtub clips we were provided were interesting and insightful.
there were many defences between the clips and many similarities. one of the bigger issues that seemed to be of topic was issue of race in caricature roles. in both the 1995 version and the movie "O" the character played by Othello was black. Now I'm not sure if this had a great impact on the outcome of either but i did give the character a distinct nature. I personally think that if race was a consideration it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. All versions seem to hold very try to the meaning of the original regardless of the race of Othello!!!
