Uh... It turns out that Ralph Fiennes is Joseph Fiennes' brother, I just found out today. Watching this film is definitely aimed at Al Pacino. I don't like this kind of dramatic film very much. Of course, it is really difficult to adapt Shakespeare's...

Sherlock's daughter is disgusting, stole Dad's money and eloped with Little White Face, and then spent it all over the place; adding fuel to the fire of Sherlock and Antonio's...

The original book was only read when I was a child, and I probably only remembered the ending of the plot, so I watched it with anticipation, but unexpectedly, I vomited blood. Diaosi borrows money to pretend B is chasing Bai Fumei; people who borrow money have no money but they have to borrow money from loan sharks; a girl elopes with her father's money in a spring; Bai Fumei turns into Hua Mulan; old man! TND, what a weird plot! childish! narrow! Shakespeare, Shakespeare, brother is really...

I haven't read the original book, just from this movie, it seems that Sherlock is a tragic character~ The relationship between Antonio and Bassanio is also very ambiguous! And Portia is not beautiful enough~ ps: Lao Pa is really a drama!...

A marriage that is imprisoned by three boxes is a shackle that cannot be broken by intelligence and calmness; a seemingly noble love is ultimately for money; a merciful forgiveness of sins is the severest punishment; a faith that lasts forever, finally defeated by false...

Impressed by the Jews
The film begins to introduce the background of the times. The Jews were oppressed and could not survive. Most of them depended on loan sharks for a living. Christian Antonio was
extremely disdainful of the Jewish representative Charlotte who did this, and spat at him. Later, Antonio's friend... -

Rereading the Classics with Humanistic Feelings
Michael Radford's version of The Merchant of Venice, I prefer the new version to the traditional version, but I'm also afraid to face it. Because of the humanistic spirit that the director tried to pin, and because of Al Pacino's outstanding performance, the film has long ceased to be a comedy or...

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.
