What really happened to Will while he was away from his wife?

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 1999)

Much conjecture has been made regarding the 'missing years' of William Shakespeare's life. This movie attempts to give one an idea of what occurred in his life after he left his wife in the country. To make any comparison to the Romeo and Juliet ART film will Leonardo DiCaprio and Clair Danes is to compare gourmet cooking to automobiles. Shakespeare In Love is indeed a romantic comedy with an ending that is left to imagination. On its own it displays that passion and love go hand in hand and is indeed in a class all its own. It depicts the Elizabethan era wonderfully, without the correct pronunciation of the speech of that era (if so we would not understand the movie very well). The fact that the play, Romeo and Juliet, was the focus is to show what may have inspired William: The love between Will and Viola. So, to Kane-C in Finland......realize this movie has NOTHING to do with the previous two Romeo and Juliet plays: the first was drama, the second and art film. This film is filled with comedy, romance and drama. I highly recommend this movie to those who have passion for passion.
