      fantasy or real

      The story takes place in Athens, when no women were married for love, they were all engaged by their fathers, such an unfree society, Hermia decided to run away with her lover, and from the first act, the love became crazy, it seemed that the lovers Can ignore any consequences.

      Cupid is the little god of love in Greek mythology, he often blindfolded, he can make lovers blindfolded.

      Shakespeare's plays perfectly...

      Dazzling familiar faces, too noisy videos

      First of all, there are too many familiar faces in this film. Basically every shot has actors who are too familiar to be familiar with, and most of them have a good impression (except Bell). This made me decide not to delete it after watching it. Drop this video file.
      Unfortunately, as the viewing process progressed, I couldn't stand this film gradually. Compared with it, the best Oscar film "Shakespeare in Love", which looks very tacky, seems to really be able to afford the award.
      It...

      Love is a joke

      The original party, I have read the original text, and then watch the movie. The original text is from the Athens period, but the time of the movie appeared on bicycles. Obviously, the time does not match, but the others are loyal to the original. I think there are not many people who dare to change Shakespeare.

      Love, what is love, you can see in this dream, love is magic, it is magic, it is to like someone as soon as we open it, but we don’t know what happened, so we don’t...

      Summarize the differences between this film and the original

      The first act
      0:02:00-0:23:03
      1. The story in the original book takes place in Athens, there is no bicycle. The background of the movie is the rise of bicycles, which takes place in Monte Athena.
      2. In the original book, Hermia’s father blamed Lasander for [singing love songs] to Hermia. In the movie, he wrote love poems.
      3. In the original work, the gathering place for workers is [Quince's house], not on the street.
      4. In the movie, Bottom was showered by the workers,...

      Midsummer starts watching A Midsummer Night's Dream. Time has changed to the nineteenth century, the bicycle has become a new prop, and the absurd essence of a dream remains unchanged. It's disgusting that the forest queen falls in love with Bolton the donkey, but love itself is irrational. The later scenes are long and boring, but everything is going well and everything is going well. What else can I write about? Well, the stage in early summer must be decorated with moonlight. Children must...

      The supporting role has a big familiar face. Sophie Marceau is beautiful. Christian Bale, I really haven't reflected on that! !...

Fiancee Haipo Rita ( Sophie Marceau ornaments) for the upcoming wedding without moving, while Duke had to listen against an...

    Movie quotes

    • Tom Snout: [Puck has turned Bottom into a donkey] Bottom, thou art changed. What do I see on thee?

      Bottom the Weaver: What do you see? What; do you see an ass' head of your own, do you?

      Peter Quince: [backing away] Bless me. Thou art translated.

      [all run off, leaving Bottom alone on the stage]

      Bottom the Weaver: Why do they run away? I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me.

    • Bottom the Weaver: I have had a most rare vision / I have had a dream / Past the wit of man to say what dream it was. / Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream. / Methought I was... / There's no man can tell what. / Methought I was... / Methought I had... / Man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what I had.

    • Bottom the Weaver: The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen; Man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was.
