  • Does anyone here recommend reading the play itself first or watching the movie first?

  • I think the director was pretty accurate with his adaptation of this play. You'd have to be pretty blind in reading the play not to suspect some sexual relationship existed at least at some point between Antonio and Bassanio. But I agree, it was a subplot. It was not the heart of the film or the play.

  • i love this movie...its the best shakespeare movie ever...and shakespeare was the best lit. writer ever

see all

  • im reading this book right now in class...the modern language is kinda hard to understand

  • venice was one of the richest state of the history..now italy is an occupant state in that area..onor to the Most Serene Republic of Venice (600-1797)

  • crap

  • I have an english exam on this

  • Venice was such a wicked place, everyone being without ethics and thinking of his own advantage . Remind you of any other commercial republics you know of?

  • this was a great movie ... loved it!

  • i agree! actually, in the special feature of the film, the person who played bassanio was saying that the relationship between two men was held in such a high esteem back then, and was really different than modern friendships...

    the kiss between the two was merely a friend-love type gesture, as it was acceptable back then.

    and i liked the way shylock was portrayed, definitely evoked sympathy (especially at the end)

  • Jeremy Irons...that's Scar from the Lion King!:)
