the merchant of venice be a fantastic movie . it very true to the original shakespeare play . if you saw jeremy iron in casanova and like his performance and this be a movie for you . if you saw joseph fiennes in shakespeare in love and you enjoy his performance and this be a movie for you . if you saw al pacino in donnie brasco and like his performance and this be a movie for you . it be a very enjoyable movie and if youre study shakespeare like me and this be a great movie to see . the only problem with this movie be that you can not let the little one see it because be have a wee bit of nudity in it . but other than that and it a really good movie .
