GITS Script Reading and Analysis Series: “Shakespeare In Love” — Dialogue

04 Nov 2011 • 1 min read

A 5 part series on the 1999 Academy Award winning screenplay.

We wrap up our week long analysis of the script Shakespeare in Love by considering its use of dialogue. The standard set of questions:

What do you consider to be the most memorable lines, either good or… not so good? Why did they work — or not — for you?
Any notable callbacks (a line used once, then used again later in a different context)?
How about set-up & payoffs?
Any exposition that caught your eye for being handled exceptionally well?

You may access the 1998–06–04 version of the script here.

See you in Comments to discuss the dialogue in Shakespeare in Love.
