The Fake Arena Within The Proscenium Stage on The Two Versions of The Merchant of Venice

The very first difference I realize when I saw two versions of merchant of
venice is how the stages were built. The Broadway version of The Merchant of
Venice, which iIwill refer as BV, creates the proscenium kind of stage while the
movie version of it, which I will refer as MV, gives me the presentasion of
arena stage.

By this difference, each version seems to highlight the different issue. In BV,
since I saw it in two dimension stage, my perspective has been brought to one
landscape only; even though there is a possibility that the distribution of
spectators' attention may vary.

In MV, it's more like an arena since the movie has created the stage until its
detail. The environment in MV shows more than the BV does. Our perpective
becomes more holistic since we can see from various points of view of the stage.
However, we must aware that in the very same time, the stage is the fake arena.
There is someone who has organized which detail we should watch and in which
time it should be shown. The final result, we still have the fake arena within
the proscenium stage.
