The origin of the filming of "Shakespeare in Love" is actually very simple. The screenwriter and producer Mark Norman’s son Zaryk Norman studied the dramas of Elizabeth I at school. He once asked his father Mark Norman to write "Romeo". Where did the inspiration for "and Juliet" come from, thinking that it must have been written by a person who fell in love, so it derives the interesting story of "Shakespeare in Love". Norman believed that Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet" successfully integrated many important theatrical elements. At the beginning, it was a love story and a comedy plot. In the end, the style changed drastically, and it suddenly turned into a miserable tragedy. This was very extreme at the time. style.
Because Shakespeare is married, Norman came up with the story that Shakespeare fell in love with the actress in his play. This love is destined to not be combined, and it echoes the plot of "Romeo and Juliet", adding to the drama tension.
