Shakespeare in Love (1998)
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
1998 | Comedy, History, Romance
Award-winning 1998 film (supposedly) telling the story of how Shakespeare - here, suffering from writers block - came to write the tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet' (which, here, starts life as 'Romeo and Ethel the Pirate King's daughter'), as well as where he gets inspiration for several of his other plays from.

Whilst this is a bit slow starting, it gets better once the plot starts moving, roughly half an hour or so into it, with the introduction of (a very young) Gwyneth Paltrow as Lady Viola who - in the best traditions of Shakespeare - wants to become an actor herself, a role forbidden to females of the time, and so is forced to 'go undercover', pretending to be a young man.

Sound familiar?

It's a plot device Shakespeare would return to, time and time again.
