Scene Response--"Othello" Branaugh and Fishbourne

I viewed act 4, scene 1 on youtube.com from the movie Othello with Kenneth Branaugh and Lawrence Fishbourne. It was the scene where Othello slaps Desdemona across the face because he is upset with her. Everyone is appalled by his actions, but no one tells his he is wrong. I think that is strange, especially considering that she is a woman. It's also interesting that Othello doesn't believe her when she says she's confused as to why he is mad. After slapping her, he doesn't even seem to have any remorse for his actions. It's sad that as much as he claimed to love her, he could still her hurt her. I think the actors portrayed what Shakespeare was trying to get across in this scene, deceit and anger. This scene is particularly important because it shows how far Othello has come from the beginning of the play, that he is no longer the person Desdemona thought he was. Truly a sad scene...
