So, I am not really the greatest fan of Shakespeare. Oddly enough though, “Romeo and Juliet” is one of my favorite stories because of its extreme absurdity and corny-ness. (Fun fact: I own about 7 different versions of the play, including one written almost entirely in emojis!) I think that, like “Romeo and Juliet”, “Shakespeare in Love” also does not really do much to bring justice to the the intricate complexities of “love” and instead just takes a one-sided static viewpoint of “love” and exaggerates it to a point that is almost comical. Even with that being said, I enjoyed the film , for that reason, and I can understand why it sold so well with many audiences.
