Shakespeare in Love (1998)

La storia, un pò realtà e molta fantasia, ci riporta indietro ai tempi in cui William Shakespeare, dopo aver scritto il “Tito Andronico”, è in crisi di ispirazione. Fra l’altro, è afflitto anche da problemi finanziari e sentimentali. Il grande William si muove in strade buie e sporche di una Londra del 1593, in cerca di compagnia femminile e di soldi da scroccare. Ha promesso a due produttori lo stesso dramma (”Romeo ed Ethel, la figlia del pirata”); ma Cristopher Marlowe, poeta molto in voga, gli consiglia invece di parlare di due innamorati che non possono amarsi a causa delle loro famiglie: nasce così “Romeo e Giulietta”! Alla finzione teatrale, si unisce quella reale, quando Shakespeare conosce Viola de Lesseps, ricca ed affascinante promessa sposa di un nobile. Per i due è il colpo di fulmine! Si amano alla follia e lei è disposta anche a travestirsi da uomo pur di recitare in teatro affianco all’uomo che ama. Alla fine, l’opera andrà in scena con enorme successo, ma la ragazza dovrà sposare il nobile e partire con lui per le Americhe.

Julia asks Robby to help her plan her upcoming wedding to Glenn, who isn’t interested in the details of the ceremony. Robby learns that Glenn also isn’t totally interested in Julia and is marrying her because she “deserves it” after sticking with him for years and because he knows she’s not marrying him for his money, since she dated him back before he started pulling down the big bucks.
