Trivia:
Take a look at what some of the other performers are rehearsing while the Mechanicals are waiting for word from the Duke. One group of players is rehearsing the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex and another pair of players are rehearsing a scene from Shakespeare's play Othello. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Near the end of the film, right after the players have been "Notably Discharged," there is a shot where Bottom kisses Flute on the forehead, and Quince rubs his head and brings his face down next to Flute's. If you watch closely, the next shot is the exact same moment, just shown from a different angle, so where it would seem like one sequence of events, we are actually seeing the same thing twice. more
Quotes:
Bottom the Weaver: I have had a most rare vision / I have had a dream / Past the wit of man to say what dream it was. / Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream. / Methought I was... / There's no man can tell what. / Methought I was... / Methought I had... / Man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what I had. more

Charming Fairy Dust, 14 May 1999
Author: Matthew Ignoffo (mermatt@webtv.net) from Eatontown, NJ, USA

Though some critics have dumped on this film, I was charmed by it. The movie literally sparkles. The settings are full of rich colors and magical lighting. The romantic classical music is all well chosen to help induce the hypnotic or dreamlike qualities. And the cast is an utter delight.

This is a fluffy cloud of fairy dust -- just as Shakespeare intended.
