I was puzzled, I thought I must have written a review of this film, and I planned to add a few more.

No result. = =

It's not okay to be so lazy.

I recently read the literary history of the English Renaissance at home, and I have a more profound insight into this work.

There is a saying that jokes are heard by smart people.

Some movies are like that. If you don't know much about that era, your appreciation for this film can only stay at a very shallow level. But if there is a certain amount of knowledge, films and books can complement each other.

However, based on my lack of talent and knowledge, I only talk about my personal opinions.

And to be cautious, revisit the film in a few days before writing a review. A little bit now.

The plot of the film is basically based on historical facts, and some plots are very cleverly written, such as Marlowe's indirect murder because of Shakespeare. Although the history of literature basically does not mention the relationship between the two, as two famous playwrights who served two London theatres at the same time, the existence of a Yuliang complex between them is also a very reasonable speculation for later generations.

However, the film focuses on Shakespeare, or Shakespeare's emotional story, which can't help weakening Marlowe's role. If Marlowe hadn't died prematurely, he might have become the twin stars of English literature with Shakespeare. (Well, I'm just imagining, after all, where does Chaucer belong, where does Wilde belong, and . . . ) You know, in fields other than drama, such as poetry, some of Marlowe's Achievements even surpassed that of Shakespeare at the same time. It was also Marlowe who opened the curtain on the golden age of British theatre during the Renaissance.

The girl who fell in love with Shakespeare in the movie, the prototype comes from Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night"

    Watching this film in the early summer of May, I saw my palms sweat for a while, and then I was cold and heart-wrenching. There are two extreme states of watching movies, either very involved or very OUT, which leads to gloomy and scary movies that are not enjoyable to watch in the near future. Actually, it's pretty mediocre. 100525

Shakespeare in Love quotes

  • William Shakespeare: Love knows nothing of rank, or riverbank. It will spark between a Queen and the poor vagabond who plays the King - and their love should be minded by each, for love denied blights the soul we owe to God.

  • Philip Henslowe: [bound, with feet high over burning coals] I have a wonderful new play.

    Hugh Fennyman: Put them back in.

    [Lambert lowers Henslowe's feet closer to the coals]

    Philip Henslowe: It's a comedy!

    Hugh Fennyman: Cut off his nose.

    Philip Henslowe: It's a new comedy by William Shakespeare!

    Hugh Fennyman: And his ears.

    Philip Henslowe: And a share! We will be partners, Mr. Fennyman.

    Hugh Fennyman: Partners?

    [Lambert lifts Henslowe's feet off the coals]

    Philip Henslowe: It's a crowd tickler. Mistaken identities. Shipwreck. Pirate King. A bit with a dog and love triumphant!

    Lambert: I think I've seen it. I didn't like it.

    Philip Henslowe: But, this time it's by Shakespeare!

    Hugh Fennyman: What's it called?

    Philip Henslowe: Romeo and Ethel the Pirates Daughter.

    Hugh Fennyman: Good title.
