Film: Shakespeare in Love (1998)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Shakespeare in Love (Miramax Collector's Series)

"Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster."
"So what do we do?"
"Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well."
"How?"
"I don't know. It's a mystery."

Review: This movie is so good, it actually made me care about Shakespeare for the first time. It has a great blend of comedy, satire, drama and romance. The writers and directors did a great job in perfectly blending all the parts into a story about how Shakespeare created and wrote 'Romeo and Juliet'.

"Is she obedient?"
"As any mule in Christendom - but if you are the man to ride her, there are rubies in the saddlebag."
"I like her!"

"You see - comedy. Love, and a bit with a dog. That's what they want."

5 out of 5 Stars
