Sebastian: "I think he will carry this island home in his pocket and give it his son for an apple."

While I was treading YouTube in search of a video representation of this scene I came across an awesome movie trailer. Apparently The Tempest was turned into a film in 2010.

I also looked into the representation of Ariel that the movie gives:
The ambiguity of Ariel's gender in the play is intriguing, so I was interested to find they did a male representation. I look forward to exploring more of this through academic articles.
