Summary: If you adored the movie you must have this screenplay!
Review: I'm a senior in high school, and this film is like no other. This is one of the most brilliant films I've ever seen. The actors fit their parts perfectly. The sets and costumes are beautiful. I thought Saving Private Ryan was a shoe-in for best film, but after seeing this, I forgot about it. You must own this if you love the movie.

Summary: A medieval love story, in a puppy love way!
Review: If you saw Richard III with Lawrence Olivier you can agree that most scenes of S.in L. was a copy of this old "theatre like" famous film. This S. in L. film was bored with long dialoges, swordsman scenes performed like clowns, and a "Shakespeare" acting as a fool.

Summary: Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day
Review: If you're a sucker for Shakespeare, like me, I would defenately bye this book. I had a proffessor who told me once that people go to the movies to escape from reality. This movie supports that statement. When I watch this movie or read the screenplay I fall into another time were love is the object your heart longs for most. One thing I like about this movie is how it brings facts into a fictional affair. The "actors" portrayed in this movie really did exist and they played in the very theatres dipicted; I love that! Marlowe, Shakespeare's "enemy" was really stabbed in a bar fight and there are many more factual things about the movie. I also like how the writers made it so that Will Shakespeare gave Viola the sonnet Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day and incorporated Romeo and Juliet into the movie. Sheer genious! And a great tear jerker! Wonderfully acted and written. It makes you fall in love with a time period almost forgotten. I simply loved it!

Summary: Extremely valuable supplement to seeing the film.
Review: Many details difficult to gather in real time while watching the film can be savored at leisure. This is especially true for the self-referential aspects so brilliantly exploited by Stoppard in all his work. You may find yourself moved less by the representation of Shakespeare than by the devotion of the creators of the screenplay and the film. You will especially admire the brilliance of John Madden's rendering of this screenplay. A good inexpensive present for anyone who loved the film.

Summary: LOVE IS A STORM OF WORDS AND THUNDER
Review: Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard wrote the screenplay of Shakespeare in Love. The film is marvellous and so powerful that no one can resist that love drama. The story of Romeo and Juliet is itself so frightfully emotional that no one can resist the charm of the tragedy and the pain of the love story. So many artists, in so many genres and arts, have tried themselves at adapting this story, this play, this tragedy to their stages or screens or canvasses, and all have been inspired so deeply by Shakespeare's story that Romeo and Juliet have become a true galaxy of masterpieces and stars. The latest ever produced is Shakespeare in Love and the screenplay is richer, more poignant and freer than the images of the film. The screenplay is enriched with stage directions that are so brilliant, so precious that the text, the dialogue, what is going to become the words of the actors, is enhanced and beautified by them. After a while we don't even know what is the gem and what is the golden bed that carries the gem. The screenplay is by itself a work of art, a masterpiece, and the film, if you watch it again afterwards, finds tremendous new meanings and undeemable finesse in the recollections you may have kept of all those lines that are not said, that are not shown, that are at best translated into images, settings, flying visual impressions that the words of the stage directions anchor in your memory, your heart and your brain with delicate tendrils that cannot break anymore. Any lover of Shakespeare, any lover of literature, any lover of love dramas and hate tragedies must read that screenplay to see how laughter and tears can intermingle in an unbreakable alliance.

Summary: If you read one book a year, be sure to make it this one!
Review: Never before have I read a screenplay that was so full of life, warmth and radiating humour. The overall impact of this book can possibly only be overrated by the movie itself due to the wonderful acting of Joseph Fiennes, who fills Shakespeare with new life and meaning. So if you watch only one movie a year, make it this one and be prepared to fall with Shakespeare as much as I did!

Summary: Even the Bard will be grinning when seeing the film himself!
Review: Seeing and Reading Shakespeare in Love has been my most delightful film viewing experience. With the Bard's name in the title, it is hard to convince audience how fun the film will be. Yet I was totally freaked out when seeing it. It is such a unique and intriguing costume drama that provides audience constant amazement as the story goes on. The language is superb. I enjoy the witty screenplay and the blithe performance so much that I cannot give up seeing and reading it over and over again. Mr. Stoppard's efforts of weaving various Shakespearian plays and sonnets so cleverly in a two hour film is indeed remarkable. This is a must see - both the film and the screenplay. I can imagine that even the Bard will be grinning when seeing the film himself - just for the part of making him and his plays so humane and accessible. What a brilliant accomplishment it is!
