Shakespeare In Love: An Award Winning Formula
Paragraph 1 (Introduction and thesis) (6 marks)
How does a movie win multiple academy awards? Producing any feature motion picture is a remarkable team effort that is bound to encounter many complications before it is finally released. As an example, Julia Roberts was supposed to play the lead role in Shakespeare In Love. However, she decided not to take the lead when Daniel Day Lewis turned down the production’s lead male role of Shakespeare. In spite of this, the actors selected for the leads produced convincing performances. But, that was only part of this movie’s successful equation. Shakespeare In Love’s marriage of comedy and historical fiction proved to be a winning combination at the 1998 Academy Awards.
Paragraph 2 (Historical elements) (6 marks)
Some story characters based on historical figures (Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth I, Richard Burbage, Ned Alleyn)
Exterior and interior sets were rich in historical detail.
Costumes reflected the fashion of the Elizabethan era.
**Include a quote** (see handout)
Paragraph 3 (Fictional elements) (6 marks)
The plot was invented to answer the question of how Shakespeare came to write Romeo and Juliet.
Clever connections between the story and actual events were presented in an intriguing manner.
Critics have identified a number of elements in this story that don’t have any basis in fact (see IMDB handout)
**Include a quote** (see handout)
Paragraph 4 (Comedic elements) (6 marks)
The plot includes fine examples of dramatic irony.
