Shakespeare in Love

My favourite film is Shakespeare in Love. It isn’t a new film, but my parents have the DVD, and I love watching it. Tom Stoppard, a famous British writer, wrote it together with an American, Marc Norman. There are also some famous actors in the film: Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Colin Firth and Judi Dench.

Shakespeare in Love isn’t really a historical film. It’s a love story. In the film, Shakespeare is a young man. He is poor, but he wants to make money and he is trying to write a play: Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter. He finds a fantastic actor, Thomas Kent, for the part of Romeo, but Thomas isn’t the actor’s real name. In fact, Thomas isn’t a man. ‘He’ is a girl from a rich family, and ‘his’ real name is Viola de Lesseps. In Shakespeare’s time, there were no women actors. Young men played all the girls and women, so Viola doesn’t want people to know she is a girl. But Shakespeare learns Viola’s secret, and they fall in love.

In my opinion, Shakespeare in Love is a brilliant film. It won three Oscars in 1999. It’s sometimes very funny, but it’s also sad, because Shakespeare and Viola can’t get married. At the end of the film, Viola marries a rich man and she goes with him to America. But Shakespeare never forgets her, and he writes a play about a woman called Viola: Twelfth Night.
