November 28th - It was on this day in history in 1582 that William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. How romantic! I wonder what kind of poems he wrote her when they were “courting”. I’ve read Romeo & Juliet like a dozen times, and although I know the tragic ending, I always find myself wishing that they could end up together…alive! Shakespeare tragedies have been transformed into box-office hits. Such films include Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, or Hamlet starring Kenneth Branagh and Kate Winslet. And who can forget 10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, which is the modernized version of The Taming of the Shrew. I think the reason Shakespeare tragedies are so popular is because Shakespeare was able to dive into the human psyche and bring to the surface our most primal fears about humiliation, fear of failure, and rejection. So, if you’re in the mood for a wildly-romantic yet tear-jerking movie, then find the full collection of modernized films based on Shakespeare plays at Target today.
