Shakespeare in Love (1999)
Yon light is not daylight, I know it, I.
It is some meteor that the sun exhales.
These are my all time favorite words from Shakespeare, Romet and Juliet Act 3, Scene 5.
It's amazing that a movie was created that actually contains these words, or the first sentence, at least.
I had forgotten all about this movie until I recently structured my mind to watch the major award winning movies in the last 30 years.
It is a stunning performance by Gwyneth Paltrow. I would have liked to see Ralph Fiennes or Kenneth Branagh as William, I think that would have just be the cherry on top of the cake, but his brother Joseph did fine.
It's a comedy with a sour flavour, the end is quite dramatic, just like a Shakespearean play.
