Good film...

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2002)

I liked the film `Shakespeare in Love', even though there are some points I would criticize. What I appreciated were the costumes and the whole making of the film - I really enjoyed to get the possibility to see a whole different world and to get an impression about how people lived and thought in this time. Another good thing about this movie were the characters, especially the one of Viola De Lesses. I could identify with this young, intelligent lady, who is not satisfied with the role she is expected to have in the society. She fights for her dream to act in a theatre and she doesn't behave the way she should. In my opinion Gwyneth Paltrow is playing this part very well, she fits perfectly to this role. What I also liked was the comedian site of this film, e.g. the nurse or the scene where a big fight is started in the theatre. Whom I didn't like that much was Joseph Fiennes. I mean, he acted very well but I'd preferred an actor who is more handsome (Ben Affleck for example). I also didn't like the end of the movie, I'd rather seen a happy end even though it might be unrealistic, but it's more romantic. So I think this movie is interesting to be seen once, but I wouldn't watch it one more time.
