I really can't watch the second half of this movie. Portia is not even beautiful and has no relationship with the word beauty. As for the content of the plot, the emotional meaning of this film is very different from Shakespeare's original book. I think the film is laughing at the pitiful plight of the Jews, the Jewish self-respect and revenge, and as for the Christians, I don't see their innocence and nobility and their ridiculous love. It just makes me feel the frivolity of men and women in it, true love, loyalty, and nothing worth watching. I mentioned that the costumes are very successful and gorgeous, and the sense of the times is in line with the positioning of the characters in the play. The screenwriter does not know what to eat. This film is a rhetorical copy of the original book. This film is a mockery of Judaism, which slanders Christ.

Shylock: He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew.
