Can drama show the nature and reality of love?
Ring-shaped theater, wooden stage, 17th-century Gothic costumes full of lace; women's skirts, men's cuffs, quills dipped in ink, and props skeletons in their hands. Shakespeare with blue eyes looks passionate and uninhibited, and his speech is like a smart stream, wonderful and smooth. Just like his nickname Will, it represents desire, determination and will... This may be the motivation and source of his becoming "Shakespeare". However, as a Shakespeare fan watching this film, I think a good story is one that is blended into history to be believed and meaningful, which is why I gave it five stars. From the characters, details and use of the camera lens, I can find a wonderful light spot everywhere, reminding me of Shakespeare's burgundy mystery.
- Shakespeare's Lover -
Is art wrapping love, or love using art.
Shakespeare's love is rotten, love is his inspiration tool. In the movie, Shakespeare wrote Sonnet No. 18 to send Viola's love poem, and yes, the charming language goes well with love. In reality, Shakespeare wrote a sonnet to a beautiful young man and a dark-skinned woman, and what happened between them is a mystery.
Regarding his wife Hathaway, the film mentions that she was an older woman who had given birth to twins in the small town of Stratford. For a man as emotional and ambitious as Shakespeare, the relationship between husband and wife is rather cold. Remember in Shakespeare's will: Leave her my second best bed and bedding. A word full of indifference and irony.
When I saw Viola's name, I immediately thought of Twelfth Night. In the film, Viola became the prototype of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Twelfth Night" as an introduction. . I really want to complain, a good love needs a good nurse who is understanding and a good old queen with dignity and status.
- Marlowe -
Christopher Marlowe, the most popular playwright in Britain at the time, he was a guiding light on the road of Shakespeare's playwriting. It can be understood from the language of the small characters in the film.
Marlow's death left Shakespeare with heartache and guilt. Shakespeare's appearance at funerals was initially regarded as a ghost, which also hinted at the use of ghosts in Shakespeare's plays. The appearance of ghosts in plays such as "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" had a series of influences on the plot, which also reflected The dreamy tone of Shakespeare's play.
*swap partners*
I like the rhythm of this section very much, the steps that move gently with the music, the staggered positions, the Shakespeare who holds the female companion in his hand but never leaves Viola's eyes, just like Romeo met Juliet for the first time and fell in love at first sight .
The scene of exchanging dance partners has appeared in various "Romeo and Juliet", and it can be regarded as a classic.
*Gloves*
Because of family reasons, Shakespeare helped his father run his own business since he was a child, making gloves, leather, and wool. Romeo aspires to be the glove that Juliet wears - a powerful expression of love that is very impressive. This cross montage in the movie also handles the famous lines from "Luo Zhu" perfectly.
*puritans* The
film begins with a black-robed puritan satirizing theater and plays, but at the end of the film, he too is excited to applaud and cheer at the end of the performance. This reflects a sense of comedy, and also reflects the success of the performance. There is also a well-known Puritan image in Shakespeare's play, Malforio in "Twelfth Night". He is Miss Overia's housekeeper. He has the characteristics of an English Puritan. He refuses to entertain seriously, and finally becomes a woman wearing yellow garters. The object of ridicule of the crowd, which also shows Shakespeare's view of the Puritans.
There are still many stories about Shakespeare, and I will write here for the time being after reading it once. To sum up, Shakespeare in Love is still a middle-class Oscar film. As for "Saving Private Ryan" of the same year, different people have different opinions. Shakespeare in Love is like a warm, short and long-lasting song, a play within a play, and an outside world, which begins at the beginning of one play and ends at the beginning of another.
