    The scene design and modeling are really beautiful, but the little drama at the back was too embarrassing, and dragged down the whole movie

    Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful in the heyday of Hollywood, Calista Flockhart, who just came out of the hot American drama, Bale, even the "elf" Stanley Tucci, this version of handsome beauty is too dense, and it has become extremely pleasing to the eye. The overlap of comedy and tragedy, the interlacing of reality and dreams, the film vividly implements the hazy and beautiful scenes of the original work, and art is very kung fu; even if it lacks a feminist interpretation through the role, it is at least once A temperamental adaptation.

A Midsummer Night's Dream quotes

  • Theseus: The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve: Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.

    Oberon: Now, until the break of day / Through this house each fairy stray. / To the best bride-bed will we, / Which by us shall blessed be; / So shall all the couples three / Ever true in loving be; / And the owner of it blest / Ever shall in safety rest. / Trip awa; make no stay; / Meet me all by break of day.

  • [repeated line]

    Helena: Oh, spite, oh hell.
