i just watched shakespeare in love. allow me to rant.
i think shakespeare in love is amazing. i think anyone who thinks otherwise is a heartless fool, and i will say that to their face. that is all i will say about that.
this movie makes me feel like few other things make me feel, and it makes me feel how i wish all artistic endeavors i encounter make me feel. this movie makes me feel this: "i hope one day i am lucky enough to experience that". that is how i feel about the love between shakespeare and viola. i do not doubt it for a moment. it plays out wonderfully and... god it makes me curse my inability to express myself as well as shakespeare. he used his own words; i use the words of others.
the fact that someone or something or a life of experience inspired the words in romeo and juliet... and that those words inspired the writers of shakespeare in love... i just wish i could be a tenth as talented as these people. they are able to show love. i mean... isn't that the point?
i dunno. i'm rambling, and i'm clearly a mess. none of what i'm saying makes sense, and thats my point.
i think if you don't like shakespeare in love you have no soul. i believe this strongly. and i think i know more than a few people who will be surprised to find that they are soul-less. too bad for them.
ok i'm being overly defensive.
but i mean
this movie... is so amazing.
in love.
