Yes, which is in a strange way why it is one of the 50s science fiction films that people want to watch. Shakespeare and science fiction is a good match that too few people think about.
Yes! There’s also the more mundane/obvious point that Shakespeare just plain has catchy plots. I think of him as so erudite, and tend to forget that he comes from a tradition of entertainment and is supposed to be entertaining. Now I can contemplate this science fiction connection!

And now, I am told they are forbidding Shakespeare in secondary schools in Arkansas, on the grounds that he is not necessary and too hard.
Precisely what literature *do* they regard as “necessary?”
I’m not sure. They update curriculum every 6 years, it seems, and what’s on line still corresponds to 2006.
