I've looked everywhere, Samnet, the Blind Mice movie vault, and only found a 1936 version. This (the 1997 version) is with Leonardo DiCaprio, and is directred by Luhrman.
I'm watching it in class and the teacher isn't too willing to describe.
Does anyone know if this film has been described, and if so, where can I download it?
Thanks for any help,
Matthew
That's not right what your teacher is doing! I've seen the movie though not described. If I can help in anyway let me know. Maybe try to look to see if the dvd has it described on it? I know some dvds have descriptive services.
Thanks Uniqueone.
I'l check the DVD.
Reading the sceen before watching the film is very helpful, since in that case, you at least have a clue as to what will heppen and who has what lines.
Regarding my teacher, it's not that she's not willing to describe, it's that since she hasn't seen the film herself, she can't be precise in what happens when. She also confuses characters, leaving me totally befuddled.
ah, I understand. Good luck if i can help more let me know!
Whoever heard of a teacher describing a film? Isn't it already hard enough to hope they get the materials in so you can get them turned into Braille? Unless things have really changed / improved in the decades since I was in school
After watching a few more sceen of the film, I now realize that Audio Description isn't really necissary. Yes, there are newer costumes and sets, but it's very simple to understand if reading directly with the Shakespear.
I did find an audio-described DVD, but after seeing a bit more of the film, it's really not that necissary.
It's not as action-heavy as something like The Wire, which needs constant description to help you get the big picture as well as the details.

Oh good glad you're able to follow.
