The Taming of the Shrew had dialogue by William Shakespeare. The other movie did not. Their plots are similar, but the Shakespeare play was about the serious business of becoming permanently married and the other movie is about who will go with who to the dance. The motivations for Katherine's behaviour is totally different in the two movies.

How can you get a more recent film of The Taming of the Shrew?

I guess the first question is: more recent than what? The 1967 Franco Zeffirelli film is more recent than the 1929 Mary Pickford film. A film of the real play using Shakespeare's dialogue (not a different play with a vaguely similar plot like 10 things I hate about you) was made by the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2016.

Who is the shrew in The Taming of the Shrew and why?

The "shrew's" name is Katharina Minola. However, her sister Bianca and Petruchio refer to her as Kate. Hence, the famous line, "Kiss me Kate." Katherine is the oldest daughter of Baptista, Bianca's older sister, and later the wife of Petruchio. She is very ill tempered and very loud (shrew means nagging woman so it really fits Katherine's personality), and as a result nobody wants to court her or ask her hand in marriage until Petruchio comes. In the 1967 movie, Kate was Elizabeth Taylor's character.Another PerspectiveAlthough it seems as if Kate is the shrew, Bianca is the true shrew of the story. Kate is unloved, unwanted, and rejected by those around her which causes her to be bitter towards everyone. Bianca on the other hand is used to getting her way, pretends to be an angel, and is her father's favorite daughter. At the end of the book, both Bianca and Kate are summoned by their husbands - Kate obediently comes while Bianca refuses to answer his summon proving herself the true shrew of this Shakespearian play.
