Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2009)

Even though this movie was ficitonalize, it did take you back in the 16th century England and recall what those times were. It made you think about the customs and rituals of that time and that women mostly were oppressed. Moreover, arranged marriage and other life's goals were set out and was decided for a person. OK Shakespare had a writers block, but the story is not there, nor is it the play Romeo and Juliet, that was not the theme of the story, it was just merely a part of the story. The real part of the story, as the title suggests, Shakespeare is in love. His love takes him to a place in his life that he has not experienced, well for a long time at least, she becomes why he wants to write and the very reason for his survival, and isn't' that what we want in life. Someone to love and someone to care about, whether it was 400 years ago or now??
