There are some Shakespeare plays that I like, but I agree most are not that interesting. The one I hated the most in High School was MacBeth. Ended up having to do it twice, and almost nearly three times. However, PBS did create a modern day version of MacBeth that I actually liked.shakespear was such a bore in highshcool i struggle immensely with people who try and convince its interesting etc. oh that was a real chore sitting through those english classes
The phrase "Happy Wife, Happy Family", and other similar phrases. It's like if the mom isn't happy no one else in the family is allowed to be happy not to mention that it's everyone's job to keep the mom happy. So what if the mom is in a depression, does that mean no one else is allowed to have joy?

As one of eleven children, I was not alone in thinking/feeling that I did not get to have enough "quality time" with my mother... of course it was a different generation then but, any ways... this movie was one of two my mother took me to see at the theaters near where we lived... so near, we could walk there in about ten minutes. As a thirteen year old at the time, I wondered if there was some hidden message in the choice of this movie for me. The only other time I really got to spend alone with my mother was when she took me to see the Barbra Streisand/Omar Sharif movie, Funny Girl, that same year. Such fond memories...I used to wonder why people thought shakespeare was so interesting too when I was in high school, but then our english teacher had us watch the original Romeo and Juliet movie in class. That made me realize how good shakespeare really was, and also gave me a huge crush on Olivia Hussey (who played Juliet).

Thank you! You have a lot of aunts and uncles then, too, as did I, since my dad had eleven siblings and my mom four. Yes, my mother had eleven children from ten pregnancies (all the same dad of course!); I have a twin brother!Wow, eleven children. One of my parent's has 9 siblings, but still it boggles my mind!That was a beautiful story. The only omar sharif movie I remember was dr. schivago.
But I do remember when funny girl was popular.
