The Cherry Orchard Movie

I enjoyed watching the Cherry Orchard movie a lot more than I did reading the play. I think this is mostly because it was easier to remember each character in the play when I had a visual representation of each person. It was a lot more difficult to try to remember each character's personality or motive by just knowing a person's name, but much easier when I could remember an actor's face. Because I didn't have to worry about remember who was who, I could enjoy the story much more. Although the movie was cheesy at moments, for example when Ranevsky would break out crying, I did like seeing the play acted out.
