In my experience, almost all “tasteful” nudity in movies like this is totally unnecessary to the story, is shot in a way that makes it look totally unrealistic, and is just as exploitative or whatever as it is in R-rated teen comedies. I’ve seen a lot of “serious” movies with “tasteful” nudity, and almost every review of those movies studiously ignores its presence and doesn’t consider it relevant to the quality of the movie. More specifically, the issue of breasts in movies generally and how people think and write about same.

Here’s what I really want to talk about: Gwyneth Paltrow’s breasts. Everyone should read that speech at least once. There’s a reason it’s one of the foundational pieces of the Western canon. There’s a scene where the theater guys are annoyed because every actor auditioning is reading the famous “face that launched a thousand ships…” speech from Doctor Faustus.

I think most of the stuff about him in the movie is exaggerated or bogus, but some of it was interesting. I also want to give a shoutout to Christopher Marlowe. Geoffrey Rush and Judi Dench both got Oscar nominations. He nailed this role and I really enjoyed his performance. I’ve written bad things about him in the past. You know who else was great in this? Ben Affleck. Maybe she’ll surprise me sometime and do something good. She really is talented and she has a lot of years left. Is she just too satisfied with her status in Hollywood and afraid to take risks? Too busy thinking of interesting baby names? I don’t know. What happened to Gwyneth? She hasn’t been in an interesting movie since The Royal Tenenbaums. She’s charming, and this is a role that depends a lot on charm. She’s not at all believable as a man, but whatever. Paltrow definitely gave a good performance. The Twelfth Night parallel thing at the end was cool. I liked some of the clever little Shakespeare nods. I didn’t realize Tom Stoppard was involved. The script is definitely the movie’s strength. You might call it witty or clever, and I can see that. Although I didn’t think it was all that funny. Maybe I just don’t have the personality to be taken in by a good romantic comedy. Fun to look back at all the good/bad movies from a given year. *I recommend going through lists like this. On the other hand, I just checked Rotten Tomatoes, and Shakespeare in Love is at 93%. I assume their list of “ notable films released in 1998” is pretty complete.* Here are the movies I’ve seen from 1998 that I think are better than Shakespeare in Love: The Big Lebowski, Croupier, Happiness, The Last Days of Disco, Out of Sight, Pi, Run Lola Run, Rushmore, Saving Private Ryan, A Simple Plan, There’s Something About Mary, The Thin Red Line, The Truman Show.

It’s hard for me to remember which movies came out in which years. But I can’t see how anyone who voted for it for Best Picture can look back with anything but embarrassment. Shakespeare in Love is an OK movie I guess. The biggest draw for me was that it stars Gwyneth Paltrow in the stage of her career where she was, as I’ve written before, almost impossibly pretty. I was kind of curious, but I didn’t have any special desire to see it, honestly. Mostly the less famous and less good winners. Now I’m at the point of actively seeking out the ones I’ve missed. After ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, it will premiere in January 2022 ‘Belfast’ and ‘Death on the Nile’, two of the films that will arrive in 2022.I watched Shakespeare in Love this week as part of my ongoing quest to see every movie that’s won the Oscar for Best Picture. He was in charge of the 2011 ‘Thor’ and making the live action from Disney’s ‘Cinderella’ in 2015. He has combined his work as an actor, for example under Christopher Nolan in ‘Tenet’ and in ‘Dunkerque’. Behind the camera he has covered Shakespeare as ‘Hamlet’ or ‘Much ado about nothing’. Kenneth branagh premiered in 1992 his third feature film. But nobody knows how that party is going to end and how they are going to get into 1993. Friends will have fun, they will remember the good old days of years ago… And soon all their problems, their frustrations, their fears, their unfulfilled dreams and their unhappiness will come to light. During the stay, in which they are accompanied by Carol, Andrew’s wife and Brian, Sarah’s boyfriend. Peter invites his best friends – Maggie, Roger, Mary, Andrew and Sarah – whom he has not seen for years to celebrate New Year’s Eve at his grand mansion.
