Watch this movie twenty years later, in search of Sebastian

First position statement:

I love all the characters that Gwyneth Paltrow created between 1995 and 2005

1. A work is a work. When the work is born, the author is dead, just as property has been entrusted with its own personality. Watching a movie is always a matter of fact, and ignoring the characters to discuss the actor's lace is inherently disrespectful to the work. So don't say anything like stealing the script, and don't use the protagonist's personal likes and dislikes to affect the appreciation of the work. Of course, I don't hate Gwyneth Paltrow's straight-talking style, and a princess-like life doesn't need to abide by the various constraints on us ordinary people. You just don't dare to publicly express the "vicious remarks" in your heart like she did, don't pretend to be a civilized person.

2. I love miramax, there are many good films, without it, many beautiful little scripts would never see the light of day. As for what Weinstein did, I don't think it's very important. The story of the wall being pushed down by the crowd has been repeated over and over again.

Below is the official review:

After reading a lot of film reviews written by other viewers, I felt that it was a little tasteless, so I had to write my own. Since the entire film is about this particular few weeks of Romeo and Juliet's creation, it is presumably Shakespeare's play that is an important thread.

In addition to Romeo and Juliet, there is only one other Shakespeare work mentioned repeatedly in this film, and that is Twelfth Night, which was created around 1600. Does this film just tell that Shakespeare created Twelfth Night in the process of creating Romeo and Juliet based on his love story, the final confession of the heroine Viola and the Queen's order?

I don't think it's that simple.

The plot of Twelfth Night is not complicated, so let’s briefly describe it:

A large ship is shipwrecked, and twins Sebastian and Viola narrowly escape but are unfortunately separated. Viola disguises herself as a man and becomes Duke Orsino's sidekick. The Duke is in love with Miss Olivia, and sends Viola to confess to Miss Olivia. As a result, the lady falls in love with Viola, who is disguised as a man.

Sebastian and Viola met after a while, Miss Olivia fell in love with Sebastian who dressed the same as Viola's men, and Duke Orsino formed a friendship with Viola.

Start connecting below:

Viola in "Shakespeare in Love", and Viola's men's costume as Kent corresponds to Viola and Sebastian in "Twelfth Night", with two sides.

Kent has always been in love with Shakespeare, the Duke of Orsino on Twelfth Night; but Shakespeare loved Viola in the big family. Should Viola be in love with Sebastian next, but who is Sebastian in Shakespeare in Love?

Throughout the whole film, I think Shakespeare's work (represented by "Romeo and Juliet") is that Sebastian. The birth of a work means the death of the author, and "Romeo and Juliet" has been fugue into a meaningful existence.

Miss Viola fell in love with the author of the play because she liked the play, and she still did not forget her role after having a lot of fun with the author of the play. When she left, it was not so much a farewell as she explained the plot of the next play. As a young girl with a wealthy family and no personnel, what she madly fell in love with was actually a series of works written by Shakespeare. In other words, Viola could not fall in love with Shakespeare because of his good looks.

    Full of renaissance colors, a lot of big stars act as supporting roles to set off Gwyneth, the Oscar-winning actress that year. Just thought her profile smile and disguise look good, and the surprise is the ending, which quickly pulls people from the tragic emotion of Romeo and Juliet to the 12th night. Colin Firth with earrings is definitely the highlight.
