""10 Things I Hate About You" is now streaming on Netflix. The film jump-started the careers of stars Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The movie contains many little details that you might've missed, including nods to Shakespeare. In fair Seattle, where we lay our scene, it's time to take a look back at "10 Things I Hate About You," one of the best '90s rom-coms - and an adaptation of William Shakespeare's comedy "The Taming of the Shrew.""
""10 Things" isn't the only adaptation of this work - most famously, the '50s musical "Kiss Me Kate," the '60s western "McLintock!," and the 2003 rom-com "Deliver Us from Eva" are all based on the saga of Katherine, Bianca, Petruchio, and Hortensio. Season two of " Bridgerton" also gave shades of "Shrew" - one of the main characters is even named Kate."
10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 teen romantic comedy set in Seattle that adapts William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew into a high-school setting. The film launched the careers of Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The screenplay transposes characters Katherine, Bianca, Petruchio, and Hortensio into modern archetypes while retaining themes of courtship and rebellion. The movie includes numerous small details and nods to Shakespeare that reward repeat viewings. Other cinematic adaptations of The Taming of the Shrew include Kiss Me Kate, McLintock!, and Deliver Us from Eva. Season two of Bridgerton also echoes Shrew through a character named Kate. Netflix currently streams the film.
