Due to my lack of knowledge and poor English, I couldn't see the essence of this "Best Film at the 71st Academy Awards", so I could only appreciate it roughly.
The cast of this film is strong.
Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is handsome and passionate. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is elegant, passionate and romantic.
"Captain Barbossa" Geoffrey Rush was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and BAFTA Awards for his outstanding performance in this film. The veteran actor Judi Dench won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for only eight minutes in the film.
The one that surprised me the most was the always suave, charming and noble Colin Firth, who played a clown-like character in the film. Seeing his embarrassed smile made me, a fan who just finished reviewing "Pride and Prejudice" in 1995, have mixed feelings.
I don't know if this movie counts as "playing about Shakespeare". According to the information, after Shakespeare and his original wife had three children, the two lived apart for 20 years. Moreover, since ancient times, there have been many romantic talents, and it seems that inspiration must be stimulated by a fresh and exciting relationship. Therefore, the image of Shakespeare created in this film is sentimental and romantic, and it is not completely nonsense.
However, Shakespeare in this film seems to rely entirely on "inspiration" to create. The relationship between him and the heroine who loves to the death, but says that they will break up when they break up, really comes and goes quickly. It would be a waste of energy if every work could be done like this. I have to worry about Shakespeare's physical condition!
Writing a love story requires a beautiful and charming woman as a "source of inspiration". I don't know where to find inspiration for writing sci-fi stories, monster stories, and fairy tales?
