William Shakespeare has written plays that have influenced many modern movies. Most involve love, death, etc. which make good plots for many films currently. Many movies that I have seen I now realize have been a somewhat parallel to some Shakespeare plays, and there was one in particular that I favored the most. I have seen this movie probably a couple more times than necessary, (lol), 10 Things I Hate About You. This movie is not listed under one of the categories Mrs. Gilman mentioned, but is actually based off of the play, "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare..
I think that Shakespeare has influenced the cinemaas greatly. There are many concepts that he took from everyday life, (sort of) and transformed them into plays using his Shakespearean language and with a little, (and by little I mean usually a lot) more drama.. Shakespeare invented some interesting plots that many people love to read, recite, or watch many times because of how wonderful his stories are. William Shakespeare's stories were so popular, that when movies became remakes of these plays or parallel to their stories attracts a lot of the general audience. Many people who maybe think Shakespeare is boring and complicated will be suprised when they may have actually liked a movie based off of his plots and translated to modern language, but then again1 they may not. Shakespeare has most deff influenced movies nowadsays and are really great!

You write so well!!! And i didn't know that 10 things i hate about you is based on that play that you said. (I can't remember the name. lol)
I never thought of it that way, but it is really true that like...all these people say how boring shakespeare is, but really tons of the books and movies they love have been influenced by him.
Also, he does add ALOT of drama to his plays, but that is what makes them so fun to read!
