Shakespeare in Love

I watched Shakespeare in Love. This movie was shown in 1998. Shakespeare in Love is directed by John Madden. Shakespeare in Love cost $25 million to make. Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Kate Paltrow are the stars of Shakespeare in Love. Shakespeare in Love made more than $280 million at the box office. Shakespeare in Love won an Academy Award for Best Motion Picture of the Year and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.

This movie is set in London. The hero of this movie is Shakespeare. He prepared for performing Romeo and Juliet. On the other hand, Viola who likes plays has to get married to Lord Wessex. Lord Wessex planned to live on a plantation in America. At the time, women couldn't appear in plays. But Viola wanted to appear in plays. So she disguised herself as a man named Thomas Kent. And Kent went to the theatrical company. Thomas's acting ability was amazing. Thomas got the role of Romeo. When Thomas came to the audition, Shakespeare fell in love. But then he thought that Thomas is a male. So he went after her with anxious. Then he came to the mansion. Viola lives in the mansion. He noticed a thing. It is the same person Viola and Thomas. They fall in love. But they couldn't get married because she had promised to get married with Lord Wessex of a noble. Moreover, Shakespeare is an ordinary writer. He is not noble. So they couldn't get married. But they met almost every day because they were attracted. Nanny was rooting for their love. And nanny was rooting for her theater too. Nanny was always Viola's supporter. Nanny had kept a secret that he had come to the house every night. 

 The practice of Romeo and Juliet was progressing smoothly. Also in the practice of play, they love each other. He was silent to everybody that Thomas and Viola are same persons. One day, a boy knew that Thomas is a woman. But, a day came. It was a time the Viola and Lord Wessex's marriage ceremony. The day the Romeo and Juliet put on. Viola couldn’t appear in play because she had a marriage ceremony and she was a woman. She couldn't stand on the stage. By contrast a member of a theatrical company had changed of voice. And that he had to act out a part of Juliet. So, Shakespeare decided to act out a part of Juliet by himself. At that time Viola and Lord Wessex’s wedding had been solemnized. At the time a nanny escaped Viola to theater. When Viola and the nanny arrived the theater, play of Romeo and Juliet had already started. Viola saw that Shakespeare acted out a part of Juliet. She was surprised. At the time a man came close to her and took her to the backstage dressing room. In the end, she acted out a part of Juliet. At first, the audience was surprised but gradually they become caught up in the play. The play of Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy. But the audience were a standing ovation because the play was very nice. A Queen Elizabeth allowed that Viola appeared on stage. And Queen Elizabeth liked Shakespeare’s author. And Queen Elizabeth said to Shakespeare that next time to write a comedy please. And then Queen Elizabeth came back to a castle. After, Shakespeare met Viola at the backstage dressing room. And they hugged. They were unwilling to part from each other. But they couldn’t stay together. Viola had to go to America with Lord Wessex. They promised that Shakespeare write a comedy for Queen. And Shakespeare will name a heroine’s Viola. 

 The story ended here. I didn’t know about Shakespeare. So I studied a little when I finished watching this movie. 

 His name is William Shakespeare. He was born in 1564 and he was born in United Kingdom. He was said that he was the best writer of English Literature. His authors have a lot of masterpieces of Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear and so on. Eventually he died from infectious diseases. He died at the age of 52 years old. 

 I didn’t know that he is said that he is the best of writer of the English Literature. And he died from infectious diseases. I think he died at a young age. If he lived longer he would write other masterpiece. 

 I was surprised that a boy who searched out of Viola and Thomas are same persons. I didn’t know that he existed. His name is John Webster. He was a dramatist. His authors were dark and barbarity. As a matter of fact, he did scaring actions in the movie. 

 My favorite scene is nanny’s scene. I like this nanny because she was very kind and interesting. She always right behind Viola. Usually the nanny has to warn Viola if she had done wrong things. But the nanny hadn’t. I like her character. 

 One night Shakespeare came to Viola’s room. The nanny noticed that thing. But she took a chair in front of Viola’s room and sat down to nobody known. Especially I like the scene. I think that Shakespeare and Viola fell in love because there was the nanny.

 Also I searched about “Twelfth Night”. The sub title is “As you wish”. This is a comedy. Of course, the story was written by Shakespeare. This is a love comedy. A girl appeared in the story. Her name is Viola. 

 If I had a chance I want to watch the movie. And I want to compare Shakespeare in love’s Viola and Twelfth Night’s Viola. 942/14587
