A book dedicated to the 21st century

Pacino played so well that audiences generally sympathized with him. What was Shakespeare's original intention? This seems to be a book dedicated to the 21st century, and he has had his daughter, property, dignity, faith taken from him, just because he is an alien. The moral high ground punishes those who refuse to be merciful, yet are so cruel themselves.
Pacino's two passages are classics:
Are Jews not people? Why are you discriminated against and spurned by you! ?
It is for the sake of justice and dignity, what is the attitude of Christians towards pagans and slaves, that is who will discuss what is kind and what is not kind.
Justified and inspiring.

In the final judgment, mercy did not come to Pacino, only a fine, not even the principal. Also deprive all property, half to the victim and half to the state.

What is the nature of the businessman played by Jeremy? Hypocrisy or righteousness?
At least he let Pacino go, but he spurned Jews by nature, and finally deprived Pacino of his faith and forced him to become a Christian.

There are so many topics to discuss that Pacino leaves the courtroom in desperation, and audiences are no longer interested in seeing how lovers end up together. The comedy stories of the three boxes and the female judge heroine are also insignificant in the atmosphere of the main tragedy.

In the 21st century, globalization has been proven to have many problems. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the problem was alienation. In the 21st century, the problem was assimilation, where the same parties fight against differences. This is the root cause of national and ethnic problems.

    The Godfather as Sherlock. . . Very poor. Should be a little darker

    Don't the Jews have eyes? Don’t the Jews have no senses, limbs, sensations, emotions, and vitality? Isn't he eating the same food, the same weapon can hurt him, the same medicine can heal him, it will be cold in winter and hot in summer, just like a Christian? If you stabbed us with a sword, wouldn't we also bleed? ..... With just a few words, I have doubled my affection for Sherlock

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Bassanio: In Belmont is a lady richly left - and she is fair, and fairer than that word - of wondrous virtues. Sometimes, from her eyes I did receive fair... speechless messages. Her name is Portia, no less a beauty than Cato's daughter, Brutus' Portia. Nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth,for the four winds blow in from every coast renowned suitors. O my Antonio, had I but the means to hold a rival place with one of them then I should question less be fortunate.

  • Bassanio: So may the outward shows be least themselves. The world is still deceived with ornament. In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt but being seasoned with a gracious voice obscures the show of evil? In religion, what damned error but some sober brow will bless it and approve it with a text, hiding the grossness with fair... ornament? Look on beauty and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight. Therefore, thou gaudy gold, I will none of you. Nor none of you, O pale and common drudge between man and man. But you, O meagre lead, which rather threatenest than dost promise aught, your paleness moves me more... than eloquence. Here choose I. Joy be the consequence.
