When a movie based on an old play collides with the modern day world, a movie that has it all is formed. This Shakespeare based film, has got a twist from a play from many years ago and it all starts with many young people looking for love. These people seek for love but when some of the poor souls have found, it is at the brink of ending again. Many stories of three different groups of people form into one as they venture into a jungle and find what they were looking for. Many obstacles get in their way but when they power through, they try beat it and they take a leap of faith.
What made this movie unique to me is that how an old play that many children would not enjoy watching or just playing in it became an enjoyable activity that people of all age can enjoy. Not just some adults.
My favourite part was at the start when not much of the film made sense but that was a mystery but later in the film all of the pieces in the puzzle made the bigger picture. Also, my favourite character was Lysander. This character was a creative and open-minded adult who searched for love and wished nothing more but to get it. He never stopped at his own will. This character tried to stay strong for so long and that is such an inspiring story.
I would recommend this to a person that can sit down and can see through what it was and see what it is. I would call it a 9+ and is a romantic, adventurous type movie.
