在这部威尼斯商人 英国皇家莎士比亚剧团2015版剧情/喜剧片中,
A rich merchant, Antonio is depressed for no good reason, until his good friend Bassanio comes to tell him how he's in love with Portia. Portia's father has died and left a very strange will: only the man that picks the correct casket out of three (silver, gold, and lead) can marry her. Bassanio, unfortunately, is strapped for cash with which to go wooing, and Antonio wants to help, so Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, the money-lender. But Shylock has been nursing a grudge against Antonio's insults, and makes unusual terms to the loan. And when Antonio's business fails, those terms threaten his life, and it's up to Bassanio and Portia to save him.
迂腐陈旧的善恶对立，在现代价值体系里得到扭转。经典的现代化。时隔多年与莎翁再次相遇。当夏洛克当上维权钉子户。
