Inspiration...

Hey there my Shakespearean Lovers 👋!

Nowadays, everyone knows who Shakespeare was and how amazing his works are. That's why it is no surprise that many films have been inspired by some of his plays. 
Now I'm going to tell you which films follow the plot of a Shakespearean play:

- The Lion King (1994): This film was inspired by Hamlet. The story explains how the little lion named Simba tries to get his revenge on Scar, his uncle, who killed his father, named Mufasa, to get the throne.


- Ten things I hate about you (1999): This film is inspired by The Taming of the Shrew. The story is about two sisters, one of them is very popular and wants to have a boyfriend, but his father won't let her till her other sister gets one first. The problem is that the other sister is quite asocial. To solve this, the first sister pays a pretty mysterious boy to date her, but in the end he also falls in love with her and he has to decide whether he should accept the money or cancel the deal. 


Other movies based on The Taming of the Shrew are: Deliver us from Eva (2003) and Kiss me Kate (1953).


- She's the man (2006): This film was inspired by Twelfth Night. It explains how a teenage girl named Viola pretends to be a boy to play in a soccer team. Through out the story, she (while everyone thinks she's a boy) falls in love with a boy, who's actually in love with her female version but he doesn't know they are the same person. Meanwhile, Viola's brother is in love with another woman and this girl loves the male version of Viola.


- West Side Story (1961): This film was inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Of course I couldn't finish without naming the all time famous drama of Romeo and Juliet. This film is about two rival gangs and Tony and Maria, who obviously belongs to different gangs, fall in love at a dance. 


Another film based on this beautiful drama is Romeo must die (2000). 

So this is it for today's post. Now every time you watch any of these films you'll remember why they're so amazing, they were inspired by the great Shakespeare.
