The story is told mostly from Hugo's oint of view, and compared to the original, Othello is insecure and not very "noble." He's really just a normal kid, but obviously had some kind of complex, and the drugs Hugo gave him made it worse. He hates and loves Odin, instead of just hating him. He is motivated mostly by his father's indifference, but a lot of his actions are left ambiguous. In O, Josh Hartnett plays him as somewhat vulnerable and confused. When f walked to r, i, c, and k to spell the word, o said his catchphrase, drawing the. After f spelled fart and embarassing l, l and o beat up f. After L scared away R, I, E, D and S, l slingshotted o into n and then mocked him. He hates Othello for unknown reasons, and vows to destroy him. As a lowercase letter, O ganged up with L to bully N. In the play, Iago (Hugo) is not very emotional or weak.
I watched the one with Lawrence Fishburne, and read the cliff notes last year for class (I'm busy, not stupid!), and the one big difference between this movie and the play is how the characters are written.
Josh Hartnett is Hugo, and he is obsessed with Odin, who his coach dad likes better than him. Julia Stiles portrays his (dumb) white girlfriend, Desi. Mekhi plays the only black basketball player in an all-white high school.
