What's that?

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2000)

Americans can't make Renaissance films. It's always very weak films. For seeing good ones about this historical period, please see French movies. Here, from the start, I was laughing seeing Shakespeare suffering in face of a page. And there goes William to get some help from his psy. Oh yeah, really? In fact, there are many historical errors in this film, espacially when the actors are reharsing in the theatres. About the actors of the film : Englishmen and woman are good, but Americans just look like Americans in Renaissance costumes. And what I hate the most about this is the music : thousand of violins all the time! Romantic scene? There goes those big ugly violins? Tragic scene? Hurry, here comes more and more violins. Sounds like syrup. I really want to see an American movie without those orchestral violins! And at last, how can you trust an actress by the name of Gwyneth? (Note that this is probably the only message without that Oscar thing. Do we need these childish things to judge a film?)
