This is one of my favorite scenes in one of my most favorite movies. I am always moved when they ask Viola (Thomas Kent) if (s)he knows it, the play, and she replies, "Every Word." Critics always mention her "swan like" movement of her head and long neck, but it is the first time I noticed the image of the swan on the drapery next to Will as he admires her. The music of the movie is also wonderful.
My hope is that on occasion Gwyneth looks at these movie CLIPS and remembers the fun she and the cast had making these wonderful, imaginative and meaningful scenes. What a glorious production! My favorite scene and moment in the movie? When Viola says, "Every word!"
Gwyneth was born to play this role! And she captured the essence of her character magnificently, beautifully & with a delicately refined aplomb. Amazing! Gwyneth can mesmerize with the best of em! She earned her Oscar win❤❤❤
This scene always makes me cry. With everything going on in 2020, I'm reminded of this gorgeous film, that all will turn out well. HOW will it?! I don't know... it's a mystery...
Interesting facts... Julia Roberts and Daniel Day-Lewis were going to be the leads. Thank GOD that didn't happen. Winona Ryder had the script on her desk, Gwyneth saw it and called her agent to set up an audition without telling her. That killed their friendship, but thank God Winona wasn't in it as well! Gwyneth and Joe were MAGNIFICENT. Fiennes should've been nominated for an Oscar, for heaven's sake. He carried the whole film, though the ensemble cast was brilliant. A masterpiece.
I forget the name of the actor playing the nurse , but he was Carson in Downton Abbey. He is married to Imelda Staunton, who plays Viola's nurse in the movie here.
Although in real life if a woman were to walk out on stage back then they would actually stop the play, this scene is fabulous. Gwyneth looks beautiful, and it’s a wonderful scene from a wonderful movie. And for the most part this movie was actually pretty historically accurate to how the theater worked back then
lol at this movie trying to show Romeo & Juliet as "the greatest love story of all time" when it's actually a play about two dumb teenagers who become infatuated after knowing each other for three days and in the end six people are dead. I'm not saying it's a bad play, but I don't think it's a love story. I think it's a play about how the hatred and prejudice passed from parents to children throughout generations destroys lives. And also, dumb teenagers are dumb.
Shakespeare_Teacher I know, but sadly, seems a lot of people who only know about Romeo & Juliet very superficially through pop culture osmosis miss the point completely.
+LightsOfBohemia That's certainly one interpretation. And in fact, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, in Ashland, did a production of it a few years back based on the idea that the real conflict here wasn't between the Montagues and the Capulets, but rather between the older and younger generations. They had all of the older-generation characters in stunning Italian Renaissance costumes, and all of the younger generation in modern dress. Weirdly conceptual (which is pretty typical of Ashland, for better or worse), but I thought it worked.
Love this movie. John Madden's commentary on the Special Edition DVD is amazing; and makes you really appreciate the movie's epic juggling act of multiple stories, character relationships and more. Great film.
I thought Paltrow was great in this movie. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but this time I think things worked out smashingly, particularly between her and Joe Fiennes.
'How now! Who calls?' - "I know her age unto an hour - She's not fourteen!" - Yes... Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth the First of England... was about THAT AGE... when it was 'alledged' that she had in effect been - 'Rogger'd' - by Sir Thomas Seymour the brother of Jane Seymour - Henry the Eighth's third wife.
I like to think the Elizabethans were a little more sophisticated regarding boys/young men playing women's parts. On the one hand, there must have been over-the-top, belly-laugh, farcical drag scenes. However, I think it possible that the boys in late childhood and early adolescence who played female parts such as Juliet, Desdemona, Ophelia, etc., along with adroit use of makeup and artistically designed costumes, might have been beautiful and able to act the roles convincingly.

Gave me a good laugh when I saw this movie for the first time.
I can't imagine if years ago, this role will be played by Julia Roberts, but I just saw it, and her performance is top notch.

"See you in jail" lol

"I don't know. It's a mystery." XD
The show must... you know...
GO ON!? lol
The way the guy playing the nurse glided across the stage I need to know how to do that-

No one could have played the role more perfectly than Gwyneth Paltrow. She's talented and beautiful.
One of the best romantic comedies written in recent history
To hell with you, naysayers. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
1:30 OMG, It's Carson The Butler!
Pretty good movie. I enjoyed it.
Gwyneth was just great in this movie. I love her.

That is how every girl wants to be looked at.

This scene is so good. Makes me want to watch the movie.
Hey, I know this woman(man), he is from Downton abbey, the butler

And this, children, is how Lady Viola became OfWilliam. Under his eye...
Praise be.
😅
Geoffrey Rush is awesome!
How cute was Joseph Fiennes? 🙂

It's not supposed to be a great love story, it's a tragedy.

That is literally the point of Romeo and Juliet
I kind of agree.
She will stay next to you always❤️
Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of Scary Movie? "Oohh girl i'm not doing anything, just watching Shakaaspear in luvv."
Love this scene.
Love this movie. John Madden's commentary on the Special Edition DVD is amazing; and makes you really appreciate the movie's epic juggling act of multiple stories, character relationships and more. Great film.
so this is where "shes the man" got their ideas
I would really enjoy this if it weren't for Gwyneth Paltrow.
Wtf she's the whole reason I watched
I thought Paltrow was great in this movie. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but this time I think things worked out smashingly, particularly between her and Joe Fiennes.
breathingreflection I agree:)
It's also worth saying that her accent is flawless. Very hard to believe that she's not English. @@breathingreflection
LOVE
See you in jail!

Interesting. Who did he steal the script from?
shut up people, that was the best romantic scene
why are they shocked when she entered? is it because stage-acting are for men only?
Professor Farnsworth yes actually. Only men were in plays
how is this HD if its 1998
It was shot on film, not videotape.
Right. You should have added "dumbass" at the end of your statement.
