    Gosh! I think that’s difficult to improve rafa’s comment… But I’m going to add my opinion about the film. I love this kind of films, the ones which leave you with a strange feeling, because they’re so romantic but also sad, because there’s no a happy ending in this film. And I also like the epoch when the film takes place, the suits, the lives in the streets… The other day, I saw a film called “William i Miguel” in the tv program “Versión española” and then they compared the film with “Shakespeare in love”. It’s interesting how every director changes the vision of one character. I hope that we’re going to watch another film if our teacher wants.

    Oh love!

    It seems that love never finishes well. Really?
    I ask me, how could be the other history, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter.
    Perhaps it also can be a good history to do.

    The movie was so interesting, so beautiful. But it let me with the desire of know more about Shakespeare.
    I think that this movie shows a lot about the people in that time; the William’s psychologist, the pest of the epoch, the castings, the poverty, the injustices, the loving deceptions… many things that describe in scenes, and make more perfect the aims of the film.
    I enjoyed a lot with this movie; it was funny, interesting, cultural and so romantic.
    One of the things that really like me was when William takes an inspiration from the love of Viola for writing: all this feelings, sensations, emotions… So cool!

    I don’t know, but this movie was nomited for the Oscars, and it won 7!!

    Better movie.
    Better principal actress.
    Better actress of distribution.
    Better sonorous band – Comedy or musical.
    Better original script.
    Better artistic direction.
    Better design of wardrobe.

    A short summary:

    The history is fitted in the summer of 1593, epoch in which William Shakespeare begins to suffer a blockade in his literary production due to the lack of inspiration. In search of a muse he knows by chance Lady Viola, a young and rebellious aristocrat pawned in interpreting, the works of the author, this aim that will lead her making pass for a man.

    Personally I like the movie, I think the character of Shakespeare (Romeo) is very interesting because he writes the story thanks to Viola de Lesseps (Juliet). I hope that not finish the same way as the story romeo and juliet by William Shakespeare
