Film review: Shakespeare in Love
Shakespeare in Love: a film review
Good
morrow to you, madam!
The present day I’m
going to write a review on the movie we gazed at in the last English class.
Alright, back to our
century! ”Shakespeare in Love” is a 1998 romantic period comedy-drama film
directed by John Madden, written by Marc Norman and playwright Tom Stoppard,
produced by Harvey Weinstein, about the world's greatest ever playwright,
William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), who is young, out of ideas and short of
cash, but meets his ideal woman, Viola de Lesseps, daughter of a wealthy
merchant, (Gwyneth Paltrow) and is inspired to write one of his most famous
plays.
The movie was a big
phenomenon, taking in over 289 million dollars, winning a lot of praise in
taking home two Oscars (Best Picture, Best Actress -Gwyneth Paltrow- , Best
Supporting Actress -Judi Dench- , and Best Original Screenplay) in 1999
capturing the world´s heart. From the young kids who stayed for the comedy (and
of course the indispensable dog bit), the teens who watched for the cheeky,
young and rebellious romance, and older folks who stayed for the fabulous way
the movie captured one of the most, if not the most iconic piece of literary
art ever produced, that everyone knows and adores.
This movie is absolutely delightful! It makes us laugh in the
light-hearted adorable scenes, weep in the emotional heart shattering scenes,
and hold our breath for what's about to happen to poor
William and Viola. This movie just touches your heart making you feel all kinds of emotions to the maximum, and although it can be sad, it
has a way of making you instantly happier. It almost feels like a magical
experience watching such a beautiful piece of work, kind of like a comfort
movie that you come back to when you don't
know what else to watch and fall in love with it more deeply than the last
time. “Thus with a 10\10 rating I
die”…
Farewell,
