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"

    There is really no resistance to Shakespeare's poems and script lines; he has ulterior motives for the arrangement of the drama, and clever dispersal can make up a complete drama.

    Let Joseph Fiennes be the male protagonist is really blind! I've been utterly powerless.

Shakespeare in Love quotes

  • Viola De Lesseps: Master Shakespeare?

    William Shakespeare: The same, alas.

    Viola De Lesseps: Oh, but why "alas"?

    William Shakespeare: A lowly player.

    Viola De Lesseps: Alas indeed, for I thought you the highest poet of my esteem and writer of plays that capture my heart.

    William Shakespeare: Oh - I am him too!

  • Queen Elizabeth: Fifty pounds! A very worthy sum on a very worthy question. Can a play show us the very truth and nature of love? I bear witness to the wager, and will be the judge of it as occasion arises. I have not seen anything to settle it yet.
