Movie Reviews of Will Shakespeare
Movie Review: Will Shakespeare ain't Shakespeare!
Summary: 2 Stars
I tried watching the video Will Shakespeare... whoever wrote the screenplay behind it must've been on 'the good stuff' or something because it appears to be one of those so-called modernistic jumble movies, where one skips from one thing to another, one quick scene to another with only the writer of the screenplay knowing what the relationship is between what happens in one scene and the next. Me... I put it on the shelf and, when I'm feeling I want to watch something that'll completely confuse me sufficient to put me to sleep or make me want to read a good magazine or book, then I'll put it back into the DVD player, turn the sound down, and pay no attention to it. I thought it would be a decent biography of Shakespeare's life. Doesn't seem to be. Sad.
Summary of Will Shakespeare
Emmy Award-winner Tim Curry (The Hunt for Red October, Clue) and Golden Globe-winner Ian McShane (Deadwood, Sexy Beast) star in the riveting story about the great Bard's rise to fame.Set in the sixteenth century, WILL SHAKESPEARE begins with the lesser known story of Shakespeare's humble beginnings and youthful obscurity in Avon. As he struggles to survive as a playwright, Shakespeare faces multiple obstacles, including the black plague and various personal tragedies, but defeats all obstacles to achieve unprecedented success in London.
Written by John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey, Tea with Mussolini), this engrossing six-part miniseries renders the sights and sounds of Elizabethan England in exquisite detail. Rich in both tragedy and deliciously cheeky humor, this series moves through Shakespeare's untold story with dramatic flair.
