Viola and Will have strong personalities:
- Viola is a hard, combative and fearless girl who decides to disguise herself as a man to play in a playhouse;.. she is able to overcome every type of circumstance and risk personally
-I like Will because he has an enterprising and optimistic character and he wouldn't let go ever.. I admire him for his firmness and his wish to continue, in spite of all problems and risks.. A person who knows what love means, who accepts his defeat and admits all his mistakes
I think it is very beautiful when Will says that he wouldn't see Viola die: this is the mark that love doesn't have an age.. Love is the most important and essential feeling and with it you can always "live" in all hearts.
I thought that your film was very interesting and it looked like you worked very hard on it. Your english was very good. I do think that the music in the background was loud at times and it was hard to hear what you were saying because of the music but other than that the film was molto bene. In boca a lupo con il vostro prossimo film!

Wow! Auguri! Che bel lavoro!
Come ha detto Matt, a volte era difficile sentirvi con la musica nel fondo, ma direi che il vostro inglese è pulito e buono. Auguri a tutti gli studenti e alla prof!

My favourite sentence of the film “Shakespeare in love” is “You will never age for me, nor fade, nor die” because it’s a declaration of eternal love and the proof the love between Viola and Will is a great passion. Their relationship isn’t an adventure and it can win death. Their love story will be the poetic inspiration of Will for ever.
My favourite character of the film is Viola. She’s very corageous because she has to marry Wessex but she wants to live her love story with Will in hiding. She knows she’s taking a big risk but she follows her two passions: Will and the theatre.
She’s a woman with a strong personality but at the same time she’s sweet, romantic and an incurable dreamer. Today it’s difficult to find a woman like her and I’d admire her very much.
I like the video “I love Shakespeare” because it shows our compitment for this initiative that before it was a school argoment (the Theatre) but then it became a personal experience. After we saw the film, we wrote our fellings and I was amazed because we committed our self very much. The video is a simple presentation of our work and I hope you appreciate it. I’d like to do another time a similar experience for we put to the test.
Bye, Bye
Silvia 3a BRI like so much the sentence pronunced by Will when he has to leave Viola going away with her hated hausband.
He told her "YOU WILL NEVER AGE FOR ME,NOR FADE,NOR DIE".
This is a touching moment and I like it because only by reading the script again it transmits me all his suffering but at the same time the love that he feels for Viola.
Great job on your film. It was very well done and it seems as if you put a lot of effort and time in it. Also, your english was quite good. I was a little confused with the random pictures of animals though. All in all, nice work. Good luck on future films!

I was very impressed by your English skills. They were very good. You guys are much better at English than we are at Italian. I never saw the movie Shakespeare In Love, but I understood what happened in the movie because you all spoke so clearly. I look forward to talking to you!
You all speak good English, so much better than i am at italian! I love the movie Shakespeare in Love. I like the guy that plays the director of the play in the movie. I think he is good looking.
I think the way you displayed Shakespeare In Love was fantastic
. You guys spoke english very well. Have fun with the rest of your school year and have a great summer.

Molto bene!!! voi siete molto bene! I understood everything you saw the movie and went past a summary, you presented how you felt. You all spoke slow but well, very much like you were singing. I enjoyed it very much, Keep working hard.
