CliffNotes Movies.
I don't know if I have seen anything cooler. I mean, it is CliffNotes in movie form! I decided to watch the Midsummer's Nights Dream one, since I've read the book and thought it'd be best to see how accurate it is. And, first things first, it had a commercial. So awkward. Right in the middle, the new Shakespeare move is advertised like that is okay. Upon composing myself after that obvious marketing ploy, I realized this new version of CliffNotes is quite good. I would do it just to get an overview of the plot, not to right a report, because the books are obviously more detailed. But, it helps you visualize Shakespeare when you can't wrap your head around the bajillion main characters he used.
Here is a quick trailer I found on youtube. Kind of amusing, no? This experience sort of just blew my mind. I mean, how have I never heard of this before? Everyone in their right mind uses CliffNotes, since it is impossible to keep on all the reading for every class you take when you have all advanced classes. Teachers ask too much. I don't know if they realize that when they only give us 3 hours of homework, every teacher is saying the same exact thing. CliffNotes is a wave of the present and future, and it really impresses me that they are take the next step: the technological step.
