Shakespeare: To Be or Not to Be?

I love Shakespeare. I've never read any of his plays, but I've seen them in action through motion picture. I've really liked every one I've seen, "As You Like It," "Much Ado About Nothing," and "Hamlet." If you've seen the movies or read the plays, what did you like about it? What didn't you like about it? I really like the music in all three movies, and the way things are worded and described is beautiful. What were your favorite part?

In Much Ado About Nothing, my favorite part is when the characters start playing cupid, and get Beatrice and Benedict to fall in love. It's so hilarious!

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his life time plays many parts.

Shakespeare's alright, albeit a bit too raunchy for my tastes, and I've always been picky on what plays I like. But I'll always have a weakness for British humour.

Don Quixote, however, is remarkable. I think the first time I even heard the name was when I was 7ish, and I saw the Wishbone episode that he played the Don's sidekick.

Wishbone educated many of I think. XD I also like British humor, but never cared for Shakespeare's work much. Raunchy and earthy are words used to describe it at times. Although I do respect his ability to portray humanity.

Shakespear is, ehh, he was a good writer. I've never been ultra fond of his work.

This is complete ADD but talking about Shakespear makes me want to go watch Monty Python.

Such words are fitting to describe Shakespeare's plays, but I think the arrangement of words is absolutely beautiful. *dreamy far-off look* They inspire the poet's imagination and get the creative juices flowing...

Part of the beauty and motion of words is there meaning. lol Have you ever read a Shakespeare play?

No I haven't. I tuned out what they were saying in the movie and just read the subtitles, and knew for sure I'd be lost if I tried to read the play.

Probably for the best...he can get 'earthy'

His movies are still pretty good though.
