Very Interesting Story and Some Stellar Acting,

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2014)

Shakespeare in Love is a great movie with a well developed storyline and an outstanding cast.I had this recorded for quite some time but I was reluctant to watch it,although I was aware it was a Best Picture winner,I thought you would have to be seriously interested in William Shakespeare to enjoy this movie,and that it would require some knowledge of the way they spoke back then,but it really didn't,the story is easy to follow,we get to learn enough about Shakespeare before we get to the main plot,without giving us too much knowledge,and the way the characters speak is easy for a general audience to understand while still being as fashioned old as it can possibly be.The chemistry between Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes was absolutely incredible and without a doubt the movies highlight,the lines they deliver to each other is very passionate and intense,something many actors would get shy and awkward about,but the two of them deliver these lines in pure confidence without any hesitation,and Paltrow definitely deserved the Academy Award for her performance.An interesting tale and some very inspired performances,I would recommend Shakespeare in Love to anyone looking for a good drama or romance.
William Shakespeare is struggling with writers block before a woman disguised as an actor becomes his muse.
Best Performance: Gwyneth Paltrow
