     I watched Shakespeare in love. Shakespeare in love is a 1998. This movie is directed by John Madden. This story is written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. This movie starring are Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, Judi Dench and Colin Firth. Gwyneth Paltrow was Viola, Joseph Fiennes was William Shakespeare, Judi Dench was Queen Elizabeth and Colin Firth was Lord Wessex. Budget is 25 million. This movie is British-American romantic comedy-drama film. Shakespeare in love won seven Oscars, including Best picture, Best actress and Best supporting actress.

     This movie’s stage is London of the Elizabeth dynasty that a craze for play was overheated. A comedy of William Shakespeare was the rope of the request, but in the Rose company, he fell into slump. A young man named Thomas Kent came to the audition of the new work comedy which William Shakespeare began to write somehow. In fact, Kent was a woman dressed up in men’s clothes of daughter Viola of a rich merchant. Shakespeare crawled into the mansion of the merchant. Shakespeare and Viola fell in destined love. Shakespeare began to write a libretto from the day, but he received a parting letter from Viola from Kent. The contents of the letter, Viola isn’t able to already meet for the marriage that her parent decided. Shakespeare couldn’t understand and went to the mansion of the merchant again. At that time, Shakespeare knew that Kent was a temporary figure of Viola. Shakespeare and Viola bound together on a heart continued stealing love after this. This love gradually formed destined tragic love story "Romeo and Juliet". Viola deceived all of the theater as Kent and continued practicing the play. Just waited for the premiere day, it came out that Kent was women, and the closedown of the Rose theater. It was the times when it wasn’t allowed for a woman to stand on the stage. I reached the premiere by the cooperation of the curtain theater that was a rival, but Viola held a wedding ceremony unwillingly on the same day. Viola rushed to the theater after a wedding ceremony. Viola played the part of Juliet in place of a boy who had change of the voice suddenly. The Romeo position was Shakespeare. The tragic love drama that overflowed in poetry caused big cheers. They escaped the theater closedown thanks for Queen Elizabeth, but the marriage of Viola didn’t become invalid, and Shakespeare and Viola separated. Shakespeare had begun to write new comedy "12 night" while thinking of Viola who married and went to a new world America.

     I like movies, I watch movies in frequent. I watched a lot of interesting movies, especially Shakespeare in love. I want to do romance as Shakespeare and Viola, but it was very sad that Shakespeare and Viola weren’t bound together to love. I haven’t a romance like this yet. I want to do the love that I forget the place and I forget the time. I think Viola was first romance in her life, because she was a daughter of a rich merchant, so She couldn’t play with boys. For the first time, Viola was in love with Shakespeare. Shakespeare was popularity writer, but he was ordinary citizen. Viola had to get married with rich person. I have not rule about marriage partner as Viola. I think Viola was very sad. If I was Viola, I want to break the parent-child relationship, but Viola took the responsibility of her rank. She was very great person, but she and Shakespeare will grieve throughout the life. 

"Romeo and Juliet" gave the first public performance in about 1595. "Romeo and Juliet" was really written by William Shakespeare. In Japan, notation of "Romeo and Juliet" was common, but now natation of "Romio and Juliet" is common. In addition, in classical music and the ballet, notation of "Romeo and Juliet" is used now.

     The most of the work of Shakespeare were based on some existing story, episode and poetry. The source book of "Romeo and Juliet" was "The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet". "The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet" was written by Arthur Brooke.

     And "Shakespeare in love" is over in the scene when Shakespeare began to write the new comedy "Twelfth Night". I knew "Twelfth Night" for the first time. I want to watch some movies about Shakespeare and some stories written by Shakespeare since I watched "Shakespeare in love". The person called Shakespeare knew before I watched "Shakespeare in love", but I didn’t know information about Shakespeare. I thought that Shakespeare was very great person before, but I watched this movie, I knew Shakespeare was similar common person. I knew it and I felt glad.

"Twelfth Night" is the night of January 6. It is the last day of a series of Christmas celebration on the twelfth day from December 25. However, there aren’t the lines about an event of twelfth night during a "Twelfth Night". The main character of this work is Viola. From this, I understand Shakespeare how strongly think of Viola. I think Viola must be same feelings. In "Shakespeare in love" we can’t know the life after the marriage of Viola. I’m worried about it. I can’t marry the person who I don’t like.

     William Shakespeare was a dramatist and a poet. He was a writer on behalf of the Elizabeth dynasty. He had prominent human being power of observation and internal psychological description power, so he is called a writer of the superior English literature. The many works which he left become the precious linguistic document on knowing the actual situation of initial Modern English.

     Before I watched "Shakespeare in love", I changed a viewpoint for the love. I thought own loves were too childish until now. I want to do love as Shakespeare and Viola. I admire them. I think "Shakespeare in love" is a little grown-up and prudent movie. I became a fan of "Shakespeare in love". I want many people to know and watching this movie. (1000 words)
