A play within a play

I thought this was going to be some sort of artsy animal that you had to study and have a background in literature to extrapolate anything from the play. Well, I was wrong. The only difficulty is getting used to the characters at first because they are played by famous actors. For example, Frank Langella plays Konstantin Treplev, an idealistic young playwright, and Blythe Danner plays Nina, a young girl whose head will be turned by the novelist Trigorin, played by Kevin McCarthy. Soon, you settle down and realize that this film has something to say about people, life, and getting along with each other. It does not need to be interpreted, and you find that even though the location is in a different place and time (Russia, 1896), the people are the same people that you already know. The play moves a tad fast, so you will need to re-watch it for all the nuances.
