After a month, I have finally watched Romeo+Juliet, because of such a strong recommendation. 9yo and I agreed to read the play before watching. And we did both. I will share some thoughts. https://twitter.com/ChrisExpTheNews/status/1296954455305392128">https://twitter.com/ChrisExpT...
So dramatic! The music and scenery! Also, & #39;Murica + Verona mix is [chef& #39;s kiss]. Dramatic, and sort of rushed, is how the play feels anyways.
The gun fights have the flair of the sword fights and I am all for it.

Also, this is the hottest fucking shit I& #39;ve ever seen.
The fact that they keep reverting to this theatre setup. The best stuff happens there.

Leo in his own Cuties era.
One of the best shots of the movie.

As I said, fellas are there for each other, whether it& #39;s 1500& #39;s USA Verona or rn

Besides keeping the OG dialogue within the modern concept in an acceptable way, the movie manages to make you always remember that it is still a play, with not many of the details between conversations filled. So they show it but still manage to make it feel like stage directions
I still use this line in everyday life, and will keep doing so. Strong Juliet energy.

Has a modern rendition of an ancient piece of art ever captured the essence of a character better?

Mercutio is BY FAR the best thing in this movie.
The Mab speech. Modern Mercutio& #39;s interpretation is a drug. I stan.
Live footage of Paris& #39; dance moves landing him in the friend zone. RIP for a fallen fella.
One day, I will just kiss a girl& #39;s hand out of nowhere, and not get metood.

I am sad, knowing he& #39;s about to be gone from the story. Seriously though, the gun play=sword play thing is just so good.
Do you think you get this without our gun culture?! Do you think this movie gets made? No! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ‡ș🇾" title="Flagge der Vereinigten Staaten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Vereinigten Staaten">
