A misunderstood tragedy

This is a complete tragedy.
Sherlock 's tragic fate is only because he is a lowly Jew.
People despise and hate us. We can't choose the job we like. We can
only live on loan sharks. People
call us ugly devils.
Spitting in our faces we can only endure
because we are Jews! !

Watching him change from being arrogant and arrogant in court to being stubborn, low-backed, and powerless,
it really makes me sigh that some of us are not as good as a dog spoiled by a rich owner...
You say he is greedy for money and stingy, dare to ask about ancient and modern China and foreign countries Is there any businessman who is not greedy for money?

merciful Antonio how cruelly
you forced a lonely and sensitive old jewish old man to become a christian
that would destroy his soul. The
physical pain is bearable, but spiritually, it is
only a mere fingernail's skill. It can make our lives as meaningless as maggots living in coffins! !

Sherlock's life is really sad to be abandoned by his daughter (elope with Christian)
Does his daughter have no sympathy for this lonely poor old man?
Maybe there is. This is the father who lives with her. No matter how stingy
the old man is, he will not abandon his daughter.
But what if
that Half of the property will become your husband's,
and you can only Downcast as a prostitute (pardon my rude remarks)

that's why so many men come after Portia,
not only because of her beauty and intelligence
, but mainly because of her wealth and family status
I have to mention Bassanio here. This is a young man who is very aggressive. He
can't say that he bows to Antonio, but he means to obey him.
He doesn't realize that his power is pursuing the rich, beautiful and talented Portia.
He will never Will marry a lowly serf's daughter as his wife,
but it 's not his fault. It's a common problem in the whole society from ancient times to the present.

Poor Antonio,
why do I always feel that his love for Bassanio is so implicit
and so He hesitated~ His helplessness
When he saw Bassanio kissing Portia, he avoided his eyes~
(secretly YY Shakespeare's sexual orientation)

anyway I don't agree that Sherlock is described as a miser who is addicted to talent.
At the same time, a powerful villain with a devil-like heart
and a noble sentiment that blindly beautifies Antonio

    Everyone is good, although some of Shakespeare’s words sound a little strange in the movie. Xenomi's performance is particularly good, he played the feeling of crushing on Bassanio in every detail~~ It took another feeling, turning Shakespeare’s comedy into a tragedy~~

    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 anywhere.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Shylock: O father Abraham, what these Christians are, whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect the thoughts of others. I pray you, tell me this. If he should break his day, what should I gain by the exaction of the forfeiture? A pound of a man's flesh taken from a man is not so estimable, profitable neither, as flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say, to buy his favour, I extend this friendship. If he will take it, so. If not, adieu. And, for my love, I pray you, wrong me not.

    Antonio: Shylock, I will seal unto this bond.

  • Prince of Morocco: Dislike me not for my complexion, the shadowed livery of the burnished sun, to whom I am a neighbour and a near bred. Yallah! Yallah!
