Movie Reviews. Or an attempt at them. in fact, nothing of the sort.

Shakespeare in Love----most people have been refusing to believe that i watched the movie for the first time ever this february. i am so taken with it. i think my many courses on the elizabethan stage and theatre really helped me creep into the skin of the film. and whenever i read will's plays now, the image of jo fiennes has to keep floating arond in my mind. the screenplay was so brilliant! one of my favourite plays by the bard is romeo and juliet, i can actually {seriously} rattle it off by heart! heheheh, boy, that sounds modest. gwenyth paltrow was seriously good as viola. the entire construction of this imagined love story was fabulous. sigh. who cares about historical accuracy? the same applies to jodhaa akbar. why are people pulling it apart because it isn't 100 per cent historically accurate. the art of the story teller lies in his own re-creation of certain historical moments.
