Commentary

William Shakespeare is called the Immortal Bard not only because his compositions shaped the English language and literary styles for hundreds of years, but because his plays dealt with universal themes, which are just as true today as in the Elizabethan Era. One of his most famous quotes is “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely Players.” This line from “As You Like It” is quoted in many movies, but especially aptly in one particular film.
