Synopsis: Shakespeare in Love is a 1998 British
romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Madden, written by Marc Norman and
playwright Tom Stoppard. The film depicts a love affair involving playwright
William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) while he was writing the play Romeo and
Juliet. The story is fiction, though several of the characters are based on
real people. In addition, many of the characters, lines, and plot devices are
references to Shakespeare's plays.
Review:
William Shakespeare wrote plays for Philip Henslowe.
One day he had to see the man who was supposed to play Romeo. William was
impressed by his talent. But finally it turned out that this was not a man, it
was a woman. And they had a secret affair. Inspirited by her, he had a great
success with his plays, however they couldn’t be together. He was married. The
Queen, who enjoys Shakespeare's plays, agrees to witness the wager. Shakespeare
decided to play the lead role of Romeo,
with a boy actor, playing Juliet. On that day Viola had a wedding, and after it
she went to see the play. She played the role of Juliette instead oа this boy. They were exposed. Viola and Shakespeare
parted. William started to write Twelfth Night, Or What You Will.
As for the actor’s performances, as the film starts,
the actor and playwright William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) is suffering from
writer's block - he is unable to devise a story out of his new play,
"Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey
Rush), the owner of the prestigious theatre, the Rose, is threatened by slimy
creditors into bringing in profits, and pleads for William to quickly deliver
his play.
As for me I liked this movie because of the atmosphere
and mood it leaves. It was interesting
to fell into the atmosphere of Shakespeare’s theatre. The story of William and
Viola touched me very much.
