      I think I don't know love

      I don't want to spend any effort to find out how much of this Shakespeare love story is made up and how much is true
      and false . Maybe it's just an unrelated person or thing that I believe can be deeply moving. It must be true love. There are many boundaries . For example, he is married . For example, she was betrothed to someone else , but he said that he loved her. He used to linger on him Once in a pomegranate dress He used to be inspired by love or sex with different women He...

      You are the inspiration——Feelings from watching "Shakespeare in Love"

      What impressed me the most about the film is that it quoted a lot of dialogues from Shakespeare's works. Although it is very beautiful and some of the descriptions are very appropriate, the film is different from the text after all. Maybe people in Elizabeth I at that time liked to talk like this, but As the positioning of modern people as the audience, it really ignores the feelings of the audience. Of course, Shakespeare fans or fans of British and American literature may be...

      Shakespeare in Love

      The whole play uses a Shakespeare style to modify the lines from beginning to end, and it becomes the life language of the characters in the play. There is a sense of "life is like a play, and play is like life". The performance and lines are very demanding, and the skills of these actors are brought into full play, allowing the audience to experience the beauty of language! The plot gradually transforms the love between Shakespeare and Viola into the classic "Romeo and Juliet" that has been...

      well fictional

      The script is written with tension and the rhythm is good~
      The lines are very pretentious, but they should be quite attractive to young and middle-aged literary

      and artistic people~ The beginning of love is nonsensical, who makes the literary and art workers crazy~
      Love comes and goes quickly Come on too~ Today is the muse, tomorrow is the rag~
      If it wasn't for the girl's good looks, would there be a sequel?
      This is an inexplicable place~ It was inexplicable at...

      It was a veteran like Judi Dench who could overwhelm the scene, and the coercion of the Queen of Iron Fist came to my face. As for the protagonist Shakespeare, in addition to his handsome face, the story is reduced to a detailed idol...

      I can only say that I, a language researcher, can’t understand the bird language that the birds, the rain, the big sun, and the croaking, which is why I put it down every time I open the original book and read the beginning. After talking for a long time, I can't figure out what to express~ In addition, I personally think that the intimate scene of the two is given a lot of color, which makes the whole movie less beautiful~ It is not as good as "Becoming Jane...

    Creation background

    Although the script of "Shakespeare in Love" was written by the screenwriters Todd Stoppard and Mark Norman, its original creative inspiration was directly derived from Mark Norman's son Zaryk Norman's strange thoughts. Wonderful idea. In 1989, Zaryk, who was studying Elizabethan drama at Boston University, called Mark Norman and said that he had a peculiar film idea. The owner of the film was just a young Shakespeare in an Elizabethan...

    Filming process

    The origin of the filming of "Shakespeare in Love" is actually very simple. The screenwriter and producer Mark Norman’s son Zaryk Norman studied the dramas of Elizabeth I at school.

    Evaluation action

    The love between Shakespeare and Viola originated from a long chase. When Viola pretended to be a man, Shakespeare seemed to be aware of it. He tried to stop the pseudonym Thomas. Kend's "man", but the long-hidden admiration in his heart made "he" fled like a frightened bird.
    Of course, like any film with this theme, the love of the hero and heroine is destined to experience various twists and turns, and it will not be smooth....

    Movie quotes

    • William Shakespeare: Will you lend me 50 pounds?

      Philip Henslowe: 50 pounds? What for?

      William Shakespeare: Burbage offers me a partnership in Lord Chamberlain's Men. For 50 pounds my days as a hired player are over.

      Philip Henslowe: Oh! Cut out my heart! Throw my liver to the dogs!

      William Shakespeare: No, then.

    • Makepeace, the Preacher: A handmaiden of the devil! And wickedness in your children. The rose smells thusly ranked by any name. I say a plague on both their houses.

    • William Shakespeare: Words, words, words. Once I had the gift. I could make love out of words as a potter makes cups of clay. Love that overthrows empires. Love that binds two hearts together come hellfire and brimstone. For six pence a line, I could cause a riot in a nunnery. But, now?
