The movie's title is a twist on The Taming of the Shrew (see below) but is also a reference to a poem written by the film's female lead to describe her bittersweet romance with the male lead.

Read the Russian version of the Kat’s poem to Patrick and the same in the film and compare e them. Which do you like best?

Твою причёску ненавижу И то, как говоришь со мной, И как ведёшь себя с другой, И взгляд я ненавижу твой! Твои дурацкие ботинки, И то, что смог меня постичь! Я так смертельно ненавижу, Что начала стихи строчить! И ложь твою я ненавижу, И что себя ты правым мнишь! Тебя я даже ненавижу, Что не изводишь, а смешишь! Я ненавижу, что тебя нет рядом И что ты не звонишь! Но, главное, я ненавижу тебя за то, Что не могу хоть каплю ненавидеть.... Немножко...Каплю... Не могу...

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate the way you stare I hate your big combat boots and the way you read my mind I hate you so much it makes me sick it even makes me rhyme I hate the way you're always right I hate the way you lie I hate it when you make me laugh and even more when you make me cry I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call but mostly I hate it that I don't hate you not even close, not a little bit, not even at all.

 

Write a poem about a person you love or a confession to an imagery “sweetheart”.
