SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (John Madden, 1998)



Love is the inspiration everybody needs, even the great William Shakespeare. This movie deals with a period in which Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) couldn't write. But he suddenly meets a young Lady (Gwyneth Paltrow) and falls in love with her, who is also in love with him. They start a relationship secretly, since she is going to get married with another man, altough she does not love him at all. Besides, the young Lady, by desguising herself as she were a boy achieves the possibility to play the role of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet.




Yet, they will have some problems with the authority and the theatre will be closed as well as the company will be forbidden. However, they find out the solution although it will not follow exactly what the law establishes.
