If I watched this film a few years ago, I might not like it. But after watching countless so-called classic movie history classics, I found that, in fact, the movies I like often don't need to be too complicated. A simple story, but you can tell it interesting and full.

Shakespeare’s Love History is such a movie, a simple or even old-fashioned story, but after being filled with countless humorous and clever details, it will make you very happy and even moved. The ability to connect the classic drama with the author’s own experience in a subtle way, and to apply his own poems very naturally and vividly to the plot of the movie, coupled with many original and intelligent little ideas, and this is the result. Best Picture Oscar. Although its award that year was controversial, I still like this film.

Shakespeare in Love quotes

  • William Shakespeare: Love knows nothing of rank, or riverbank. It will spark between a Queen and the poor vagabond who plays the King - and their love should be minded by each, for love denied blights the soul we owe to God.

  • Philip Henslowe: [bound, with feet high over burning coals] I have a wonderful new play.

    Hugh Fennyman: Put them back in.

    [Lambert lowers Henslowe's feet closer to the coals]

    Philip Henslowe: It's a comedy!

    Hugh Fennyman: Cut off his nose.

    Philip Henslowe: It's a new comedy by William Shakespeare!

    Hugh Fennyman: And his ears.

    Philip Henslowe: And a share! We will be partners, Mr. Fennyman.

    Hugh Fennyman: Partners?

    [Lambert lifts Henslowe's feet off the coals]

    Philip Henslowe: It's a crowd tickler. Mistaken identities. Shipwreck. Pirate King. A bit with a dog and love triumphant!

    Lambert: I think I've seen it. I didn't like it.

    Philip Henslowe: But, this time it's by Shakespeare!

    Hugh Fennyman: What's it called?

    Philip Henslowe: Romeo and Ethel the Pirates Daughter.

    Hugh Fennyman: Good title.
