Ten Things I Hate About You Movie Review
I hate the boring music you play, and the basic plot and theme,
I hate the plain and idle settings, and the characters with low esteem,
I hate your big dumb actor profiles and the way you speak their mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you prove me wrong, and hate it when I lie,
I hate it when you make me laugh, even more when you make me cry,
I hate it when you don’t make sense, and for the fact I cannot say.
That I mostly hate the way I don’t hate you, not even close… not even a little bit… not even at all.

“Ten Things I Hate About You” can basically be described as a “RomCom”, a romantic comedy. A genre so commonly used and abused throughout the existence of film. However the quality of “Ten Things I Hate About You” could have dramatically improved with more romance, giving the film more of a flow. “Ten Things I Hate About You” is the retold story of Shakespeare’s play “Taming of The Shrew”, with Katarina as the well-known and disliked shrew.
Ten things I hate about you, starring: * Julia Stiles as Katarina "Kat" Stratford, the "shrew" in the film. * Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona, the “social outcast” in the film, * Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cameron James the nerdy new kid, * Larisa Oleynik as Bianca Stratford, Kat’s social butterfly sister.
Directed by Gil Junger
Produced by Andrew

    Since the 16th Century, William Shakespear has dazzled audiences with his poetry and plays. But what happens when modern day directors and 16th century Shakespear clash? You get "10 Things I Hate About You". 10 Things is basically a modern day cliche romance where boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, something comes between them and in the end they reunite. Add a few Shakespear-ish names, a few Shakespear quotes, and you get "10 Things I Hate About You". Now I'm not saying "10 Things" is a bad movie, but its a much weaker, tamer version of "Taming of The Shrew". They share only the initial set-up and can hardly be called the same story.…

    The Taming of the Shrew was a Shakespearean play that was written between 1590 and 1592. Set in both Padua, and Verona, Italy, the play details the “love” story of Petruchio and Katherina. Shakespeare had written the play to be a comedic piece. In 1967 Franco Zeffirelli transformed The Taming of the Shrew into a movie. Maintaining the original story line and setting, Zeffirelli worked the relationship of actors Richard Burton, Petruchio, and Elizabeth Taylor, Katherina into the comedic movie. In 1999 the Shakespearean play was transformed again and directed by Gil Junger. Junger’s movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, is a modernized take on the original play. Changing Katherina to Kat, and Petruchio to Patrick, Junger immersed the movie in the popular culture ideals of the 1990’s. Interpretations of the texts differ from person to person, this opinions will be based upon an individuals beliefs and values. I interpreted both texts to be misogynistic, although The Taming of the Shrew is more so than 10 Things I Hate About…

    In the 1500’s William Shakespeare wrote a play called “Taming of the Shrew”. This play was based on the Elizabethan ideals and judgments of marriage, love, money and social status of the time. However, since then the stereotypes of these ideals have been changed and modernised. In 1999, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith wrote the Movie “10 Things I Hate About You” (a modern adaption of the 16th century play originally written by Shakespeare). Even though “10 Things I Hate About You” is a more relatable text towards the modern society, “Taming of the Shrew” shows the ideals and themes of the Elizabethan era more elaborate than “10 Things I Hate About You” does.…

    In the book Taming of the Shrew and the movie 10 Things I Hate About You there were many similarities and differences. While they took place in drastically different time periods you can still see there is some commonality. The book took place in Padua, Italy during Shakespeare's time and the movie is from the 1990’s in a high school on the west coast. Both revolve around relationships between the opposite sex and how they deal with each other. The father’s rule in both is that the younger sister is not allowed to date or get married until the older sister has. The main problem is that the older sister is not a nice person.…

    After watching both the play “Taming of the Shrew” and the movie “10 things I hate about you” I notice several differences, but equally enjoyed them both despite the lack of direct parallelism. If I had to choose between the two I would definitely say I enjoyed “Taming of the Shrew” in its original form, but “10 things I hate about you” had a modern-day twist that made it more relatable to my generation. Director Gil Junger, transformed Shakespearian characters into high school teenagers telling the same classic tale, while adding contemporary elements that revamped the original characters.…
