The rare lightness in Shakespeare's script is also a relatively successful comedy in Shakespeare's later period. There is no insinuation, it is a romance in a modern way. So I am surprised that Shakespeare still has this kind of innocence to write such a story.

The storyline is actually very old-fashioned. Even if modern people have never heard of the plot of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", they can probably guess that something is wrong when the elves drop flower juice on someone's eyelids. However, the interpretation of this story with modern means should increase the visibility of the traditional drama of that era.

This film, essay art, is not as good as "Shakespeare Love History" and "A Fair Lady"; there is nothing shining about the excitement of the lines. But it's the style that is brisk and the name is good. In summer, at midnight, the elves are infested, and the breeze is caressing, don't use any burdens, enjoy it all.

But I am very envious of the people of that era exporting them as poems, and all kinds of rhetoric like personification are readily available. Although if someone talks like this nowadays, it should be regarded as a neurosis, but my youthful heart still can't help but tremble=3=

But the ending doesn't feel so wonderful. Especially when they performed the drama in front of the Duke, there was a little inexplicable feeling, as if a lot of things were not revealed.

There are so many handsome men and beauties in the film, but Sophie Marceau looks very bleak. I still saw that there was a tag for her, and then I went to Baidu to search for her role before recognizing it = =

Summer is coming, listen to Mendelssohn's "Wedding March", and sleep at ease.

Midnight belongs to the elves. May there be a sweet dream.

    When I watched it in college, I didn't know who was Bale and who was Rupert. I thought it was very eye-catching. At the same time, the degree of restoration of the original work is very high. This kind of horse-catching comedy inexplicably pokes my cute point. A Midsummer Night's Dream and Everyone's Happy are also one of my favorite Shakespeare plays~

    Awaken those peaceful and carefree midsummer night dreams of childhood! The duke beat the mandarin ducks, the fairy king messed up the mandarin ducks, and the mandarin ducks finally became dependents. It is said that according to British folklore, a midsummer night will be devastated in the forest, and in ancient Athens, a father could control his daughter's marriage or kill or force her to become a nun. There are many big stars in this film, and there is no lack of the most youthful appearances of the later big stars, all just to stay in this dream for a while. The entanglement of love in the world and the difference in level are all in this moonshine bush, fragrant grass and clear spring. The summer night fades away, and I love those who love me, and those who love me love me, even though it is a small craftsman in Athens, but also because of this simple tragicomedy, the nobles in the audience are moved, and with the rhyme of the curtain call of the elves, Let's go back together to that long midsummer night when the springs ding dong, the trees, the grass, the cool breeze, the fairies, and never wake up! ps: Remember when the boy who played the elf in the Dead Poets Society walked to death with a flower crown? It seems to be a fable that growing up must accompany the death of innocence.
