Shakespeare In Love

If you’d asked me, I would’ve guessed this picture of Dame Judi Dench getting a weird wig put on her head was from “Dune” or something, but it’s actually from “Shakespeare in Love,” a movie that I did see, but that was so boring I forgot everything about it less than 10 minutes after it ended. What I do know is that it’s about Shakespeare, and he falls in love with a character whom Gwyneth Paltrow plays. Who is that character? I have no idea at all. I think the movie implies that Bill writes one of his plays about her, but I can’t remember which play. It doesn’t matter; this movie is terrible. The only reason why it won a bunch of Oscars is because it’s a period piece stuffed to the rafters with elaborate period costumes. And it’s about Shakespeare, so it seems like it should be smart. But it stars Gwyneth Paltrow, so there’s no way it could be smart.
