I'm very pissed with the judges, so pardon me when I start trolling.
Perhaps we were not the best production, but we certainly had the best poster. Everyone who has looked at our poster has said it's the best they've seen, so I fail to see HOW THE HELL we didn't get a prize for poster. It's really retarded that we get marked down because we have a retarded judge who doesn't fucking understand MANGA.
For production, the rubrics themselves are flawed. Why call it DRAMA challenge when a big fat portion of the marks are given to PROPS AND COSTUMES rather than actual acting? You might as well call it "MOV Interpretation and Art Challenge".
I can tell you one thing. 2G didn't deserve any award. AT ALL. You can complain, sue me, kill me even, but I stand firmly by my belief. I'm not saying we're better, I'm just saying that they're worse. Firstly, historical inaccuracy. That would drag their fucking costume score down by a HELL LOAD. They claim it's the year 1450 in the Byzantine Empire (or rather, Greece). HELLO, HISTORICAL INACCURACIES. By 1450s, the Byzantine Empire was no longer in Greece, or anywhere for that matter. It was just Constantinople in Turkey and the walls around it. AND WHO THE FUCK WEARS TOGAS IN 1450. DUDE. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. THE FUCKING TOGA HAD BEEN FUCKING OUT OF USE FOR ALMOST A MILLENIUM. THE BYZANTINES WORE FUR COATS DAMMIT.
Next, very bad acting. You dare to come up and tell me that their acting was better than us, I will rip your head off. Their acting was painful to listen to and even more painful to watch. I mean, so what if it's "exotic". It doesn't mean they're GOOD. If you ask anyone who'd seen both, they'd agree ours was better by a long mile.
The posters were disgusting. All they do is put 2 pictures and print them out with a short caption and you call that a poster? I could do better blindfolded using EXCEL.
Finally, interpretation. I don't see how their interpretation was better than ours. They claim it's in Byzantine Greece, change some costumes, put GEMS instead of RINGS and change names here and there. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same damn Shakespearean lines. And remember that part about staying faithful to the text? I think they pretty much forgot that when Shylock appeared out of nowhere and started attacking them. Wow. Let's see. Ours had mafia-appropriate costumes, featured actual Mafia elements like fucking GUNS and to top it off had a very appropriate live soundtrack. And we get marked down because what, we didn't have a Mafia accent? well in THAT case, I guess 2G should be marked down for not fucking speaking Greek. And 2L as well, for saying it was "Shakespeare with a China accent." I didn't hear a single bit of China accent in their entire play. And they were among the "top few".
Shakespeare once said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women only actors." Well, I guess this must be a comedy, because it's a fucking joke.
