Antigone Movie Analysis
Rendition of Antigone proposal by Director: Dawson Gundlah
For my rendition of the famous play of Antigone from the Oedipus Trilogy I propose a new age adaptation to the play. I propose we make it a little more fun, and lighter, but we should not change what the play supposed to do and that was to be a tragedy. It will be the best of both worlds and provoke emotion in the reader like the original. Antigone is a powerful story about a daughter of a man who married his mother on accident, a sister of brothers that got power hungry and ended each others lives, a niece to a new King who has no remorse towards her actions, and a sister to a girl who would stand by her side and help her. Our actors/actresses must fit the roles of the characters, …show more content…
I have been told that Shelley Hennig has played the role of Malia on Teen wolf greatly. Malia is a tough character that fights for what she needs. This intensity would work great with the role of Antigone.
Ismene- Ismene is Antigone’s sister. Ismene is the complete opposite of Antigone. She thinks that Antigone should lay low and not disobey Creon. Ismene doesn’t want to disobey Creon and break the rules. Ismene loves her family, but isn’t willing to help Antigone. For Ismene I am thinking of using a softer actress that can play the role of Ismene. I think that Lily Collins could play this role well and help show the differences between Ismene and Antigone. Lily has stared in movies such as Mirror Mirror, and a small role in the hit movie The Blind Side.
Chorus- The Chorus is comprised of older men who are Theban elders. The Chorus speaks their mind on Creon and his decisions. They play a key role throughout the story by giving advice when it is needed. Chorus being comprised of elders there will need to be multiple people of the older age. I propose we use Jeff Bridges and Liam Neeson. They are old enough for the roles and would portray the Theban elders the way it needs to
