Shakspearen movies

One movie that i can relate very closely to the theme from Romeo and Juliet is the Notebook. In the Notebook both the man and women are crazy about each other, they do everything together. After the Parents of the girl meet the boy though they do not approve of him. They think that she deserves better so they force her to move. This is like romeo and Juliet because in both movies the parents do not approve of the couples dating and they try to force them apart. I think the directors of the Notebook closely related the play Romeo and Juliet to their movie. Although the Notebook seems to be taken from Shakespeare many others do the same as well. Another movie That uses Shakespeare's ideas is 27 Dresses. In this movie the girl is in love with her boss but the boss is getting married to the womens younger sister. The movie is just Like a Midsummer Nights dream. The women is in love with a man who loves her friend. It seemed that Shakespeare was there directing the movie. The characters seemed to match the plays characters almost perfectly.Although these are just two of the many movies that have been copied after Shakespeare's writing he was an amazing writer which is why i hope people make more movies with his ideas for years and years to come.
