Around this week, I watched a movie titled "Shakespeare in love." John Madden produced this movie and it takes 122minutes long. This movie begins with a play-writer called Shakespeare living in London who is the hope of those around him. However, he falls into severe slump and roams until he finds fortuneteller. Then, he hears, "you will be genius play-writer when you find your true love" from him. Eventually, he finds one good-looking boy who comes to have an audition. That boy actually is very rich lady named Viola, and they fall in love. However, her father arranges her to marry someone different. So, he writes a play about their tragic love story into "Romeo and Juliet." Before playing that script, they joins the happy time, and prepares for play. AT Viola's marring day, she marries her arranged man. After they have a marriage, she saw a poster that today is the d-day of the play. So she escapes from the church, and acts as a Juliet. However, she has to leave the stage after that play because she already become Wasex's wife, and movie ends like this.

There are many villain characters and general characters. In this movie, the impressive characters were romantic Shakespeare, soft Viola, inhuman Waxes, and lenient viola's maid. In these characters, I mostly liked Shakespeare and I want him to be my friend because I know he has many scars in his heart so that I can solace him. Also, when I feel bad or experience heart breaking, he will understand my feeling. If I become his friend, I will give him some advices for play script. It will be great honor for me and for my descendants. Shakespeare will be teacher for my life, because he is very intelligent person, so that I can learn lots of thing from him. The biggest reason for wanting him to be my friend is my dream; I want to be an actor in future. So I can ask him to let me participate in his play script and it will be pleasure to learn lots of acting skills from him. Therefore, I really want to have a friend like Shakespeare.    

After I watched this movie, I felt this movie is very special, it was very detailed, and shows character's mind in indirect way. I was also very surprised, because I never watched this kind of detail movie. One of the examples is ink marks on Shakespeare's fingers. I knew that inks dyed writers' hands at that period. Also, when they were playing "Romeo and Juliet" on the stage, Juliet kill herself and takes out the red scarf from her heart, it shows that there wasn't water color for blood at that period. People still cried watching the blood like that and this shows that people at that period were very naïve. Like this, these kinds of small detailed things show that period's people were like that. Characters showed their minds in indirect ways, for example, Shakespeare and Viola did not use love word, they expressed as skinship between their bodies. They had lot of kisses expressing their love, and read poems together. This movie is not like just modern movies because it has other way of showing love. However, I think this way is better than modern because we cannot find pathetic love in modern movies, modern movies use direct way to express the love, so I cannot feel uneasy and sincere love. I think this movie is the best movie I ever seen except some nude scenes. However, I love this movie.
