Jane Belmont: Portia, the daughter of a rich man, got three boxes according to her father's will: a gold box, a silver box and a lead box. One of the boxes contains her portrait. If a man chooses the right box, she will marry that man. So suitors from all over the world came here, hoping to get her ... Venice: There was a young man named Bassanio in the town, and he was determined to win Portia. However, in order to realize his wish, he needs 3000 Duckett, which is a lot of money. So he turned to his good friend and wealthy businessman Antonio for help, hoping that Antonio could lend him the money. But because the money thrown into the sea has not been recovered, Antonio can't take out so much money at hand for the time being. So he was forced to borrow money from Shylock, another rich Jewish moneylender. Antonio and Shylock don't like each other: for Antonio, he looks down on loan sharks. On the other hand, he doesn't like Shylock because he is Jewish. For Shylock, Antonio never charged interest on the loan, which harmed his interests. Nevertheless, in this case, Shylock agreed to lend Antonio money without interest. But Shylock made a strange request: if Antonio defaulted on the repayment, he would cut off a pound of flesh from Antonio. Bassanio went to Belmont. He chose the right box, the lead box, that is, the box with the portrait of the Iraqi. Won the Portia. Portia gave him a ring, and Antonio vowed to wear it forever. Meanwhile, Portia's maid Nerissa accepted Gracino's proposal of marriage and gave her ring to him. Shylock's daughter Jessica eloped with her lover, Christine Lorenzo, and stole her father's money and jewels. On the other hand, Shylock was depressed by the loss of his daughter and money ... When he learned that Antonio had lost all his investments at sea, he decided to borrow money from Antonio. In court, Shylock demanded that his contract with Antonio be fulfilled. Portia and Nerissa pretended to be lawyers and defended Antonio, which made Shylock's plan unsuccessful. Portia and Shylock agreed to cut Antonio's pound of flesh according to the contract, but cutting this pound of flesh must be carried out strictly according to the contract, that is, no more or less cutting, no bleeding, and no harm to Antonio's life. Shylock couldn't do it, so he had to give up. In this way, Portia cleverly saved Antonio's life. At the same time, in order to prove whether the lover is careful, they ask the husband to hand over the ring as a reward. In the end, the truth came out and Antonio took back his property. The kind Anthony (Jeremy Errens) borrows money from the stingy Jew Shylock (Al Pacino) for his best friend's wedding. If he doesn't pay, Shylock will cut off a pound of flesh on his chest. If the clever Miss Portia hadn't pretended to be a lawyer to help, Anthony might have died long ago. ...
