	Shakespeare in Love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shakespeare in Love is a 1998 motion picture.
		In this dramatic comedy/romance, William Shakespeare is portrayed as a young, struggling playwright, plagued by money shortages, problems with women, and writer's block.
		Shakespeare meets Violet de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), who lives in the same house as Kent, and promptly falls in love with her, inspiring him to begin writing his play again.

	SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE
		Shakespeare was a man after all and it's terrific fun to see him as a hack just trying to make ends meet while on his way to greatness.
		SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE is filled with spectacular performances from everyone involved, even Ben Affleck was clever and funny, a side he seems to have misplaced in his recent films.
		SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE is a must see, not just for women, but for anyone who wants to experience first class cinema.

	Colin Firth in Shakespeare in Love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Using such Shakespearean devices as star-crossed lovers and double - and triple - entendres, Shakespeare in Love carry audiences on an emotional ride, while appealing with equal power to Shakespeare novices and those who know and love him.
		Working on several different levels at once, the movie is a romance, an adventure, a comedy, a satire of Hollywood and a love letter to the greatest playwright of all time.
		The film follows the trials and tribulations of young Shakespeare, suffering from a dreadful bout of writer's block, when he meets and falls in love with Viola, who is betrothed and soon to be married to the insufferable Earl of Wessex [played by Colin Firth]

		, Shakespeare and Viola are separated by a huge chasm: she is from wealth and her father has just "sold her" in marriage to Lord Wessex (Colin Firth) in exchange for a part of his plantations in Virginia, and he is barely managing to eke out a living.
		As Shakespeare begins work on his pirate-adventure-comedy, Viola assumes the guise of Thomas Kent (as female actors were not allowed) and takes on the role of Romeo.
		Shakespeare soon learns the real identity of Viola/Kent and they carry on their tryst until events that test their relationship come to a head.

	Movie Review: shakespeare in love
		So begins Shakespeare in Love, a gloriously witty, piquant and unashamedly theatrical yarn of the creation of the play Romeo and Juliet, one of the most famous and touching stories in literature (in English, anyway).
		Shakespeare is suffering from writer's block - he needs a muse, and (with his wife safely stashed in the country), he casts his eye around but is not impressed by the women he sees.
		As Shakespeare begins shaping his play, its character changes from comedy to drama to outright tragedy, as it mirrors the impossible but all-consuming love affair between a poor commoner and a rich aristocrat.

	Shakespeare in Love
		Shakespeare in Love is a delightful romantic comedy with a literary twist.
		The screenplay of Shakespeare in Love, written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, is both literate and accessible.
		Not merely a period piece, Shakespeare in Love is the rival of many a modern-day romantic comedy.

	Shakespeare in Love
		William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), a man down on his luck and needing to find his mews, is that man who shall bring her what she dreams of.
		In fact, "Shakespeare In Love" was able to beat out such heavy hitters as last summer's war epic "Saving Private Ryan" in the recent Globe Awards to take home the Best Picture award.
		Paltrow, who's recent forays into the field of acting have been mediocre ("Great Expectations" for example), plays a convincing woman totally swept up in love that she's willing to break the law and risk jail in order to be with him.

	Review: Shakespeare in Love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Granted, there's a yawning chasm in tone between the dark, treacherous waters of Elizabeth and the breezy fun of Shakespeare in Love, but the films share not only an era (the late 1500s) and a character (the monarch), but a pair of actors as well.
		Shakespeare in Love is about ten minutes too long, but, for most of the two hour running length, Stoppard and Norman's script seamlessly blends comedy, romance, and light drama.
		Shakespeare in Love is not a great film, but it's an excuse to have an evening of pure enjoyment with a little culture painlessly mixed in.

	Shakespeare In Love
		Determined to fulfill her love for both the arts and Shakespeare, Viola disguises herself as a man (as women were not allowed on the stage at this time) and joins Henslowe's theater group.
		“Shakespeare In Love” succeeds as it is a film about actors that actually has good actors in it.
		As William Shakespeare, he presents us with a man who is in love with his work, but also with life itself.

	Shakespeare in Love
		Her hearty recitation of Shakespeare's own work wins her the part; it cannot be (and is not) long before the two are romping about her bedroom, willfully blind (har har, I'm at it again) to her upcoming marriage to that fictional paragon of Elizabethan aristocracy, Lord Wessex.
		Shakespeare in Love makes you joyously happy that previously-planned starring duos (Kenneth Branagh and Winona Ryder at one point, Daniel Day-Lewis and Julia Roberts at another) gave way to two fresh-faced luminaries whose youth becomes as poignant in the last scenes as it is elsewhere invigorating.
		Shakespeare in Love is a confection, and not necessarily one that I expect will endure as more than a jaunty love letter to more substantial works of art.

		Fan Fiction Shakespeare in Love Devotees of a certain infamous television series write stories about Kirk and Spock getting it on and sell photocopies to their friends, and they're branded as weird.
		Shakespeare in Love is what fan writers would call a "Mary Sue" story -- or at least it would be if it had been written by a woman.
		But for his fans, Shakespeare in Love is thrilling for the same reason that the best of fan fiction is so wonderful: Here are characters and situations that are so fun and intriguing that we don't want to let go of them, so we're inspired to play with them.

	Shakespeare in Love (1998): Reviews
		Shakespeare in Love is a romantic comedy for the 1990s set in the 1590s.
		The true, rare glamour of the piece is its revival of two precious movie tropes: the flourishing of words for their majesty and fun, and--in the love play between Fiennes and his enchantress--the kindling of a playfully adult eroticism.
		If she (Paltrow) were the only good thing about Shakespeare in Love, it still would have been worth seeing; that she is the crown jewel in a glittering tiara of a film studded with writing and acting gems testifies to the deep pleasures to be found in this remarkable movie.

		I believe that Shakespeare himself would be proud to claim this work, and the script devices are typical of and equal to his own inventions - mistaken identities, low humor, coincidences, and entrances timed to match up with dialogue.
		As Viola, Shakespeare's mistress, she was finally as good as her potential, presenting a wonderful combination of ardent lust and spirituality.
		Madden made his two great movies "Mrs Brown" and "Shakespeare in Love", in short order, but his next strongest film at IMDb is Captain Corelli's Mandolin, a highly respected book that he turned into a sloppy, often sappy, movie.

		Shakespeare in Love (Stephen Warbeck) Sneaking into the scene at the very end of the year and capturing the interest of many arthouse music fans, this score exhibits some of the best and worst traits of its genre.
		Its detractions, however, are the soft, extended sequences of what score fans like to refer to as "period pieces" and the often repetitious nature of the main theme.
		Shakespeare in Love is an unexpected and delightful surprise at the end of a year when there were really very few scores of the grandiose orchestral kind.

		The jokes and allusions fly thick and fast, often straining the agility of even the most nimble Shakespeare scholar, but at the heart of the screenplay is both a compelling love story and an ingenious perspective on the inspiration behind both Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night.
		I just loved the style of the whole thing, it would be a perfect present for someone who loves costume dramas and things like that, or as a romantic gesture to a partner!!!
		"Shakespeare in Love" owns a radiating warmth, a wonderful sense of wit and humour and at the same time draws you into its spell by being breathtakingly romantic.

		Shakespeare in Love: The Love Poetry of William Shakespeare
		Shakespeare in Love has been lavished with an extraordinarily talented creative group.
		On the contrary, Shakespeare in Love turns out to be something far more than anticipated: a tour de force of filmmaking that seamlessly weaves bawdy, witty comedy together with believably passionate romance and the poetry of Shakespeare, all coming together into a unified and utterly unique entertainment.

		By the end there is much in the way of deception, sword fighting, romance and comedy but the most moving moments are in the performance of Will and Viola as Romeo and Juliet that is deep and moving.

		Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes in Shakespeare In Love
		The naming of this character might lead one to confuse him with the historical figure, the Earl of Essex, another rather arrogant man who considered himself to be a military and political genius and later was beheaded by the Queen.
		The course of true love never does run smooth, though, for Paltrow has a fiancé (Firth, stuffily amusing) who is hot to get his hands on her fortune by putting a ring on her finger.

		Directed by John Madden, Shakespeare in Love is a pure period fantasy, spinning a fictional tale of William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) in his youth.
		Shakespeare, struggling with a severe case of writer's block, is trying to write a comedy called Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter.
		A film of rapturous romance and sparkling intelligence, "Shakespeare in Love" is two hours of delight with a cast of great actors appearing to have the time of their lives and a luminous Gwyneth Paltrow in a star-making performance.

	BBC - Films - review - Shakespeare In Love
		It's a career best for Joseph Fiennes as Shakespeare and if Gwyneth Paltrow isn't as good, it's not by much, and the entire cast are superb.
		Every word feels natural and unforced yet when you look back you realise that not a syllable was there that didn't give you a joke or a shock at that moment and also set you up for something dramatic later.
		"Shakespeare in Love" is a romp and a breathless race that manages to make you laugh aloud, combined with an extreme poignancy that the jokes somehow only make better.

		The sense of love and love of love created by the film was stronger than ever I can recall being generated by the play itself.
		As for that other gang, those clever producers, writers, and directors, it is only the garters and whips of History that prevent me from falling as readily at their feet.
		Shakespeare In Love has come at a critical point in this new battle for the soul of both our theater and our mother tongue.
