Telegram Facebook. But, unlike with that atrocity Moulin Rouge! But perhaps the most ingenious stylistic technique here is the slap-in-face Shakespearean references, which range from a ball called the Merchant of Venice, to 'Such stuff as dreams are made on' from The Tempest, making the film an absolute goldmine for trivia fans.
Style aside, there is more than enough substance. The set designs are intricate and beautiful, and suit every frame of the film perfectly, and the icing on the cake is the music. GCSE has been made far more digestible for us kids across England. It's what Shakespeare would have wanted. Very surprisingly very good by leighwill It shouldn't work but somehow it manages to. Most people assume the play will survive an update because it is 'timeless' or 'as relevant now as ever' but that is the reason why modernizing it should be doomed to failure.
It's not really saying anything that hasn't already been said. What Baz Luhrmann does is bring something a little different to the story it's bold but that's why it's good. The TV Anchorwoman replaces the narrator, gun play replaces sword play, Verona beach replaces the city of Verona, gang violence replaces family rivalries and other elements like the taking of hallucinogenic drugs and the drag act appear convincingly with the original dialogue as if they were always meant to be there.
Keeping the original script was essential since it is written poetically people in Shakspeare's time didn't really talk like that and no one in there right mind would change the words of a poem since that would defy the whole point of it.
If the language of the play puts you off watching this I would seriously recommend reading it first to help your understanding. A little bit more work than your average shallow Hollywood money spinner but infinitely more rewarding. I'm going to skip a synopsis of the plot--everyone knows it.
This is basically "Romeo and Juliet" in modern day dress full of arresting visuals, gunplay, loud s music, wild dance numbers with all the cast members using Shakespeare's original dialogue! The effect is odd to say the least. The visuals are all incredible director Buz Luhrmann always knows how to make a film look fantastic and the movie almost never stops for a breath.
Also the actors seem lost. When they're talking Shakespeare they seem to have no idea what they're saying. Most of them just recite the lines with a blank look on their faces. The older actors Paul Sorvino especially are much better at it. The casting and acting in this is all over the place. Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo is a good actor, but he's just all wrong for this role. He looks lost and way out of his depth.
However, Claire Danes is wonderful as Juliet. Very sweet, likable and seems to have a clear understanding of the dialogue. Also her reactions in her dancing scene with Paris are hilarious. John Leguizamo is way over the top as Tybalt--too much. He quickly becomes annoying. Even Paul Rudd is very good and incredibly handsome as Paris. He seems to be having a whale of a time in his role. Also, there is an incredible party sequence and Romeo's cousin comes in a wig, dress and lipstick and no one bats an eyelash.
There's a great musical number on a huge staircase also. Loud, eye-popping, funny and even quite moving. As it stands, I'm giving it an 8. With a better cast I might give it a Best line: "Check on me tomorrow and you'll find me a grave man. A curse on both your houses! If I can only have swords like these boys do. From beginning to end this movie grips you and breathes new modern and socially understandable language into this film. Sure the words are the same, but there is so much of a difference from reading the book and watching this movie.
In the book, it is dull and just seems to overflow with so much crud that is going on. I wish I was back in time watching these plays. The movie puts it all into perspective.
Yeah yeah use my imagination to envision it, but I rather experience another's vision. Their vision might be totally something I would not expect, and it was. This movie was beautiful in images as it was in words. Hell it was all the director had to do because he had all the words already beautifully crafted for him. The interaction between characters was wonderfully displayed.
The movie literally jumped out and grabbed my attention. How is this not entertaining. This interests us. Whoever casted Mercutio was bloody brilliant.
The whole before the ball scene, and the body language was just amazing. His death was something that always makes me love. Not because he died, but because of how it all played out. It was just sheer raw emotion. The story itself I just pity. Not because it sucks, but the subject matter. Makes me think about love and if it is even worth it. When you see a timeless movie that does not end your way you think about what you would have done.
I myself would not change anything, but I am just sad that an honest and true love died. Does it exist in this world? Who knows.. All I know is, I wanted to be Romeo just to be with Juliet! I will safely say this is the best transition from book to big screen I have ever seen.. I wish this movie was easily available when I was in High school studying this play.

Shakespeare Worthy by Acetylcholine. Very underrated modernization of the classic Shakespeare play. This film is incredible. I highly recommend this for those who find the reading of Shakespearean text difficult but have a desire to explore his masterful works.
The amazing thing about this movie is that it has managed to re-do Shakespeare's famous tragedy in a modern setting while still retaining its original dialogue. Moderized Without Losing the Shakespeare by neon I'm a sucker for William Shakespeare even though I like it done better in the theatre. Everyone is familiar with William Shakespeare's boy-meets-girl love story, and it has already been interpreted into films, plays, TV adaptations and songs.
Very surprisingly very good by leighwill. It shouldn't work but somehow it manages to. MTV meets Shakespeare by preppy
