Rating dan ulasan

Actually deserved to win Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan (which deserved its Oscars for directing, cinematography, editing and sound) but Shakespeare in Love dealt beautifully with the flipside of war, the creation of art and the eternal quest for love while also dealing with the suppression of women and the need for their liberation.

I am not a movie critic, but this story gets 10 thumbs up! This movie is telling two stories in one place. The story of Will Shakespeare and Lady Viola is true inspiration for the Shakespearean masterpiece, Romeo and the pirate queen or rather Romeo and Juliet. Many movies over time have attempted to bring the work of William Shakespeare to the big screen, with limited success. But Shakespeare in love is a captivating telling of Romeo and Juliet, while also giving us a glimpse of how the story.

The cast and costumes are incredible. The facts are right and the spin on how Romeo and Juliet was conceived is quite possibly true. The romance, spirit and comedy in this film leaves you happy and wanting more. Excellent film for both men & women alike!
