SiL on Wikipedia

I just read the Wikipedia page on Shakespeare in Love.

Shakespeare in Love is a 1998 film written by Tom Stoppard. It was hugely popular and won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. It contains many references to Shakespeare plays, featuring several paraphrases from Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet, as well as references to Twelfth Night.

The movie includes several real people, including William Shakespeare himself, Christopher Marlowe, and Queen Elizabeth I.

The cast is very good, and includes Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Geoffrey Rush, and Judi Dench.
