Daily Dialogue — October 3, 2018

“Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and lips, Oh you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss. A dateless bargain to engrossing death! Come, bitter conduct; come, unsavory guide! Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick weary bark!”

— Shakespeare in Love (1998), written by Tom Stoppard, Marc Norman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Acting.

Trivia: Gwyneth Paltrow saw the script at Winona Ryder’s office table in 1997, and asked her if she could read it. Paltrow got the part, without telling Ryder she was going to try for it. The former friends haven’t been friends since, because of Paltrow’s selfishness, later winning an Oscar for the part.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Acting is a key theme in this movie and many layers to it including the obvious — stage acting, as with this final scene in ‘Romeo & Juliet.’
