The Merchant of Venice Shylock classic lines
In "The Merchant of Venice", Al Pacino's line is too authentic, it is the first part of Act 3:
To bait fish withal: It is
good to use it for fishing;
if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.
Even if his meat is not delicious, at least he can breathe my breath.
He hath disgraced... -

It's a tragic story
There are very few movies in which I am in awe of the villain, and The Merchant of Venice is one of them. I haven't read Shakespeare's original work, I only judge from the plot in the movie, I don't know if it is arbitrary. But to be honest, it's fair to treat the moneylender Jew Sherlock like...

This film belongs to the wrath of Sherlock played by Al Pacino. Except for this part, this film does not show the joy that comedy should have. In the end, the trial of Sherlock is more cruel than cutting off a pound of meat. In fact, the original work In this play, the noble and fearless Antonio is an old man who deserves to lose his flesh. The fact that the movie can't be performed in a dramatic way is one thing that makes people feel completely boring. I would rather go to the theater to see the performance.

I remember when I read the book at the beginning, I was still young and didn't understand the mystery, so I couldn't complain about whether the film adaptation was appropriate. The climax scene naturally cuts out the heart in the courtroom but can't see the confrontation, and Al Pacino's performance after learning that his daughter fled with the money completely shows the snobbish and treacherous face of the Jewish businessman. As for Joseph Fiennes, I don't like seeing him, since a certain love story, his kiss with Jeremy Irons is like Shakespeare and his characters, grass!

Bassanio: [confirming her love to him] Like one of two contending in a prize That thinks he has done well in people's eyes Hearing applause and universal shout Giddy in spirit, still gazing in a doubt As doubtful whether what I see be true Until confirmed, signed, ratified... by you .
Portia: You see me, lord Bassanio, where I stand, such as I am. Though for myself alone I would not be ambitious in my wish to wish myself much better, yet for you, I would be treble twenty times myself. A thousand times more fair, ten thousand times more rich, that only to stand high in your account, I might in virtues, beauties, livings, friends, exceed account. But the full sum of me is sum of something which, to term in gross, is an unlessoned girl, unschooled, unpractised. Happy in this, she is not yet so old that she may learn. Happier than this, she is not bred so dull that she may learn. Happiest of all, is that her gentle spirit commits itself to yours to be directed as by her governor, her lord, her king. This house, these servants, and this same myself are yours .

Portia: [disguised as Balthasar] Do you confess the bond?
Antonio: I do.
Portia: Then must the Jew be merciful.
Shylock: On what compulsion must I? Tell me that.
Portia: The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed - it blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mighty. It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown. His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, the attribute to awe and majesty wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings. But mercy is above this sceptred sway. It is enthroned in the heart of kings. It is an attribute to God himself and earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, though justice be your plea, consider this. That in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much to mitigate the justice of your plea.
