The film, Shakespeare In Love, seems to me have a rather implausible plot; but it does ask one of the great questions of the ages: can a play (or, in this case, a film) depict the real nature of Love. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (the actual play) does so, for the het world. Connor & Jayden does so for those of us who love as intensely but, in the world's eyes, somewhat differently. This film is more than a film, more than a play, definitely more than a farce for some more haters to bash: it is pure poetry. I grew up in a time and place in the US where such a relationship would have been impossible; and those of us adolescents who were "different" were not even given a language with which to articulate our differences, because, in that time and place, gay poetry---and, of course, definitely gay love poetry---was strictly and rabidly forbidden. Even when our high school AP Latin class (which I was unable to take by the time I got there) quiely covered up the well known fact that the great epic Poet was gay; and his Second Eclogue, singing the beauty and the agony of love between males, was suppressed from the Vergilian poetry studied in that course. I am glad that I have lived long enough to see Connor and Jayden on Youtube. I do not have sufficient knowledge of cinematics, or theatrical procedures, to judge the film on those standards. But I am a published, although very minor, poet, and I have been reading poetry for nearly half a century (it will be fifty years next April). So I have some credibility when I say that Connor & Jayden transcend the merely cinematic and ascend into the realm of pure poetry./ And, like Romeo and Juliet, it gives us the beautiful, and sometimes agonizing, truth of the exquisite emotional experience of real Love---Love that is Love that is Love, regardless of the gender. I am so glad I have lived long enough (having grown up in the seventies) to have seen this glorious justification of pure and unpretentious Love. See it once, then twice, and then again and again until you have lost count, and you will see things in the film, and in yourself, that you had not noticed on the first viewing. This film may not be very long, but it is definitely epic/
