    When I was in junior high school, I went to Qingcheng Mountain for a spring outing. There was a Chinese intern teacher (a student from Peng County Teachers College) who vividly told us about the Merchant of Venice in the car. From then on, I was fascinated by literature and words. The movie is more faithful to the original, not surprising, but Sherlock is more vivid and full. The English reading of Shakespeare's plays is very...

    All that glitter are not gold, a new angle to interpret Shakespeare's classics~ Although I haven't read the original and other versions, this film is really good. The actors are strong~ Why does the Jewish businessman played by AlPacino win the sympathy of JeremyIrons or JoFiennes so-called high-class Christians But it disgusts me and the heroine needs to be improved. It's both classic and...

    First of all, it is said that Portia is not beautiful. The screenwriter unreservedly inherited Shakespeare's ability to read and write, and the psychological description is the same as the lyrics. What's more unexpected is that the film is full of love. . . . . . what the...

    Faithful to the original work, but achieving a different concept, it is not a subversion, but the concept of modern people has changed. In fact, some people in modern times have long questioned whether Shakespeare contains the theme of racial discrimination in the Merchant of Venice. In the movie, we see Sherlock, who loves and hates clearly, suing Antonio for justice (anti-racism), although the method is cruel, but upright. I have to admire Al Pacino's acting skills that can really be used...

    Hateful people must be pitiful. This version of the interpretation will probably subvert many people's understanding of Sherlock's face and face. Sherlock is sad and pitiful in the film and ends up with nothing at all. On the contrary, I am more disgusted with Bassanio's image. He feels like that rat...

    Obscure twisted old English, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about without a translation. The style of the stage play doesn't quite fit the movie. Christians' contempt for Jews, and their forced conversion, is no longer applicable to modern perspectives. Why doesn't Portia's cat-and-mouse teasing of Bassanio irritate her husband? Maybe I lack the perspective of appreciating Shakespeare's time. Al Pacino did a great job and I have a lot of sympathy for the poor...

    Pacino is amazing! I feel very loyal to the original, the lines are basically Shakespeare...

    Hateful people must be pitiful. Al Pacino was the only bright spot! ! I have successfully turned me to Sherlock. In contrast, don't you think that what Bassanio did and the consequences were selfish, and I really don't like the unreasonable troubles of the women at the end == Unfortunately, the classic is written as...

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Salerio: Why, I am sure, if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for?

    Shylock: To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.

  • Shylock: He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew.
