Shakespeare in love

"Shakespeare in Love"

"Shakespeare in Love" is a film based on the life of William Shakespeare, focused on the moment he was writing "Romeo and Juliet", one of his tragedies. This movie was written by Tom Stoppard and directed by John Madden (II). It was written also by Marc Norman. It was released on December 25, 1998 in theatres, and on August 10,1999 in DVD.It was produced by Miramax studio and the runtime is 122 minutes.
The film talks about the story of William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), one of the most important writer all over the world. It is focused on his relationship with Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow) and how she helped him to complete "Romeo and Juliet", which will became a very important play. This kind o relationship reflects the idea of "Romeo and Juliet", because it's an impossible love. She will be married with Lord Wessex ( Colin Firth) and William hasn't time enough to complete the play.

I think it's a very good film that shows the life of a writer like Shakespeare, and a lot of real characters, like Queen Elizabeth (Judi Dench). If you want to show a Romance and Comedy, based in a past century, this is the film you should watch.
