I rememeber so sweetly and ever so vididly when I first saw this movie. Already in love with Shakespeare, his prose and verse, I know that sounds so gay, but I did.
"Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
I love the adaptation of the characters, I LOVED the set, the kitchey way of bringing Mary and Catholism to a full force. Look at the CITY SETS???? Guns versus swords, the cars, the scape, the SETTING< this adaptation is brilliant! The story line, the sweet innocence and beliveability of Leo loving Claire, and oh Mercuitio, played so well, time tested and true love and travesty story. I fell in love. I love stories, imagination. Love and Drama, what I cannot (and do not wish) upon myself. So much can be so beautifully portrayed before my eyes. I know some of you may think this film was pretty gay......I beg you to listen to the soundtrack. Re-Read some of Shakespeare prose, if you have not and do not appreciate, then no, I would guess you would not like this film. Ahhh Shakespeare, He is my hero. Such a way with my favorite, words.
