The Tempest Movie

I feel that the movie is a good re-imagining of the play.  I also feel that the movie follows the play a little more closely than Naylor's "Mama Day".   However, in the movie some of the characters that were supposed to be male figures were made into female roles, and I feel like this was a clever move.  The reason that I think this was a cleaver move by the writer is because it added more love interests into the story instead of just one from the play.  I also think that this movie did a good job at showing the audience a clear version of modern America.  Naylor's "Mama Day" does not show modern America as in the case of the island the story takes place is not common in America.  That being said I liked the movie much more than "Mama Day".
