Comparison between Crucible movie and play

The Crucible is one of the few times that a movie accurately represents the written work that it intends to replicate.  The movie struck perfectly with casting and setting, as well as giving an authentic feel of what a town like Salem would be in Puritan times.  Daniel Day Lewis is a perfect choice for John Proctor because he depicts a strong willed person on the outside but is very broken on the inside.  The setting of the film feels very real to the time period it is supposed to take place in.  It is an open area which feels like a lively and very religious area.  The plot is also very similar to the plot that was written in the screenplay.  It accurately represents the events in the play and feels very real.  The death of John Proctor is what really makes the movie work so well because it delivers with superb acting as well as great setting and an accurate representation of what occurred in the play as well as in real life when it occurred multiple hundreds of years ago.  The court scene with John Proctor is also very well shot because it captures the intensity of that situation with phenomenal acting on all levels and a fantastic portrayal of the play.  The movie excels on what Arthur Miller created with an accurate way of representing the play and making it one of the most accurate book translated films, as well as using solid acting and great setting and visuals to capture Salem, Massachusetts during the Puritan age of colonial America.
