The best movie ever

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

I couldn't think of a movie that touched me more deeply than Shakespeare in Love. I watched it again and again and I am always touched. Joseph Fiennes is so fine! His experience in the theatre has definitely helped him in this movie. I just love ...this movie! Read more Less

Shakespeare in Love

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 26, 2004

Pros: Light hearted and enjoyable acting

Cons: Not for the serious minded shakespearean afficionados

A great primer for young Shakespeare newcomers and an enjoyable light film for older afficionados alike. Shakespeare in Love is a light romatic love story that works especially well with its casting of Gwyneth Paltrow as Juliet and Joseph Fiennes as ...Romeo. Both thesbians prove that on film they can capture and portray the intensity of love between characters which is the essence of this play and do it in the linguistic style of old shakespearean english with unflawed eloquence. Ms. Paltrow is evocatively beautiful and ladylike as Juliet and Mr. Fiennes assumes a young, energetic, cheerful, and of course pensive Will Shakespeare. Mr.Fiennes's enlightened character portrayal is a welcome change to the often over melodramtic acting that can accompany a traditional Shakespearean setting. While critics may look on the film unfavorably because it is not a "true" Shakespearian feat staged with serious acting and serious dialog, one will nevertheless enjoy this film if they expect a light romatic evening set in a time period of some 400 years ago. Lighten up critics. Sit back, relax, and delight in the film's comedic romanticism. Read more Less

Deeper than what people think

For a class assignment a year ago I had to watch this movie many times. I think it was about 7 times in 3 days. Every time I watched it, I found someting new about it, and realized the complex characters that develop before your eyes. I never once ...got tired of it and can still watch it again and again. The acting is a bit dramatic, but its about Elizabethan London! Of course it's going to be dramatic! Read more Less

Good movie but I wouldn't give it a half

It's a good romance movie, but nothing impressive. I don't see why it got 7 Oscars!
There were better love stories that got nothing. This brings me to the thought that Academy Awards are not giving away fairly enough...

awesome

This movie shows the power of words in the way that no other video does. The movie Romeo and Juliet was a mistake.
