Clearly watching that movie - or, for that matter, going to see a performance at the Royal Shakespeare Company (which I am in the fortunate position of being able to do with a 90 minute drive) - does not, in any way whatever, constitute "studying the play". Anyone who makes that claim is being very silly
. However, watching a performance of the play - or even, if that's not feasible, watching a movie - is a very useful adjunct to studying it.
