Today, Shakespeare's stories are veritable narrative-engines that you can tweak and tune to run in any environment - lighten it by setting it as a CG cartoon (Gnomio & Juliet, featuring the voice of Jason Statham as Tybalt), tighten the gear ratio to make it work in modern California (Romeo + Juliet, directed by the mad-Australian Baz Luhrmann), add werewolves and vampires (Underworld, directed by nobody) because werewolves and vampires have blood like soda-fountain syrup and it is joyous to watch it squib everywhere. Shakespeare is the Romeo in that sentence. Co-written by Tom Stoppard, a genius, it's a very meta-story about William Shakespeare getting writer's block while working on "Romeo and Juliet" and then overcoming the aforementioned writer's block by inadvertently living the play's story himself, and, umm, writing it as he goes. Expecting local venison steaks and instead getting a shrink-wrapped mid-sized bratwurst - not terrible, just disturbing because you're worried about how it was made.

That dim-light conversation was how we found ourselves watching Shakespeare In Love and yeah, we did go into this movie on a sour note, a bad way to go into any experience, expecting one thing and instead getting another. "Because Shakespeare In Love won the best picture Oscar over Saving Private Ryan in 1998, which I'm pretty sure was the biggest acts of grand larceny since Prometheus." "I'm getting kinda sick of Love, Actually." It's my go-to feel-good movie to watch when I'm feeling down."

"Oh, you need to watch Shakespeare In Love. it is like throwing a bratwurst down a hallway."Īn interesting conversation happened at the bar last week when we mentioned to somebody that we would never see that movie Contagion because it would only increase our hypochondria and that it was weird that they give away Gwyneth Paltrow's death in the trailers and that she had been an overrated actress ever since Shakespeare In Love, a movie which we had never seen.

".honestly, Shakespeare In Love is not meta enough.
