Re-imagining of The Tempest

I think an interesting perspective for the movie would be from a Greek student's eyes. For one, the country Philip and Miranda take vacation in is Greece. Secondly, they decide to take refuge on a Greek island with the native Caliban--a very idiosyncratic and arguably crazy figure--for their sole company (aside from Aretha, Nino, and the occasional tourist). I think a Greek would interpret or construct Philip as a character more. I think a Greek immigrant might be confused with why a successful job making millions and a marriage with an actress and a typical kid would drive him to insanity like it apparently did in the movie we watched in class. To me, there would be an event,perhaps someone passes him up for promotion and his wife cheats on him with this character, that drives Philip to the edge. That would explain his hatred and his desire to run away. Then, I think the ending ends much more drastically (and closer to the play) as Philip works to lure his ex-wife and former coworker into some plot of revenge. Ultimately, he may forgive them or he may not, it would depend on the specific person reimagining the play. I for one don't think Prospero would spare them.
