This is probably one of the best movies ever made.
One of the greatest uses of zoom-in in filmic history

>>200723566Barry Lurpak should have done more Shakespeare like this.

KINOINO
>>200723566>>200724143>PUT UP YOUR SWORDS
I really hate musicals with dubbed vocals. That was why the Les Mis adaptation was so good and natural , also sometimes unintentionally funny. All the singing was mic'd and not lip synced
>>200724545Holy kino
>>200724605I took my friend to see that and he was mad at me for YEARS. Also the boomer audience clapped at the end.
>>200723566Too far, but it's still the only good version of Romeo And Juliet Hollywood has ever sharted out and ever will.It's a gorgeous film with great performances.
>>200724642So what you're saying is that it was good?
>>200723566I watched this in 9th grade English class.
>>200724685I did think it was good.
>>2007247077th for me, theater class
>>200724707That's a shame. My life science professor showed us the Mormon episode from South Park
>>200724605Do you have this confused with something else, R+J is not a musical. It doesn't even have any songs.
>>200724605>AND IM JAVERT
>>20072470710th for me. We also watched the Zeffirelli one. All the boys(myself included) in the class clapped and cheered when we saw her tits.
>>200724643That's probably because it's not a Hollywood film, the director is Australian.
>>200724707Good times good times. My English teacher wore glasses and had a nice ass
>>200723566Certified English teacher wants a day/week off kino
>>200724742How twistedly grim we are here cracks me up sometimes.
>>200724707Being forced to watch it in English is why I initially hated it.
>>200724799>the one black guy who is part of leo's gang wears a delicate white blouse kek
>>200724605>That was why the Les Mis adaptation was so good and natural
>>200724898This was a time when black people had to get extra fruity to get roles
>>200724747I swear I saw the Leo Romeo and Juliet and it was a musical. I might have swapped timelines again
>>200724859It's weird because I remember enjoying all the Shakespeare stuff in high school English, hating this movie, and now I remember none of it. I was in advanced English all 4 years of high school and probably remember 10% of it.
>>200723566I hate it in fact I hate all shakespear apart from hamlet and the witch scene from macbeth he was the capeshitter of his time The "other" Romeo and Juliet with the boobs is better, and also moulin rouge is the better luhrmann film
>>200724949You might be confusing it with Moulin Rouge by the same director, which actually is a musical.
>>200724898>black guy has the gayest fashiontruly ahead of its time>>200724939That time is now. And black people dress zesty all on their own now.
>>200724965sonnets are spoken word songs in a sense, perhaps you are just a symbolic absorber
>>200724939>not posting the version where he has the giant blonde dildo afro you had one job
>>200724898>>200724939>>200725025He's a good actor though, same guy that played Link in the best Matrix movie.
>>200724605are you retarded the les mis film was garbage and they obviously dubbed the whole film it's on YouTube if you care to watch the studio recordings, unless you're being sarcastic about everything and not making any particular point the superior les mis is the anniversary lea salonga version, both her as eponine and fantine
>>200724965My only memories of doing Shakespeare in high school is hating that film and getting an A* (A+) for the essay we had to write about Romeo and Juliet (the original play, not Bazza's film). I was... not kind. I think we might have done Macbeth at some point.
>>200724965>I remember enjoying all the Shakespeare stuff in high school EnglishMe too.
>>200724979>he was the capeshitter of his timeThis is a little known Shakespeare fact, despite being treated as "highbrow literature" these days, back in his time his plays were the mainstream, mass market crap that all the peasants went to go see.
my only dream in life is to kiss my gun and then shoot someone with it
>>200725152and where are the "true" works of art that mogged him now?
>>200725152An absolutely ridiculous view
>>200725058He's always gonna be Augustus Hill to me.>Oz>The name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penintentiary
>>200724545I want Michael Bay to do Shakespeare now.
>>200725123It was fun when we'd read sections out loud and classmates were all given different parts. The comedians in the class would all volunteer for parts and would overact. It was a good time.
>>200724979>>200725152>Le Sophisticated universal work was actually le [insert trendy slop] of its timeHelloooo Reddit!
>>200725123>>200725465How old are you guys? zoomers know how to have a good time?
>>20072566633.
Luhrmann is a fucking hack and everything he does sucks dog ass. Migraine inducing cuts, garbage SFX and overhyped stale late 90’s hyperactive MTV style editing. Horrible, hollow spectacle.
>>200725728yikes.
*bites thumb*
>>200724545where can i get that truck?
>>20072566630s. Zoomers could never
>>200725707>>200726155Yeah, figures as much, so like the last generation when culture was important to people, you still had semi-competent people as teachers and the kids still had some personality to make the dynamic work
>>200725666We're all old and alone here Satan, you dare mock us in the hell you put us in
>>200726207Zoomers have culture. May I present:Skibidi toilet
>>200726398I thought that was a Colbert Report skit
>>200726398Don't try to take gen alpha's crowning achievement away from them.
>>200723566there's some magic in this scene
>>200725548Lmao butthurt pseud thought liking old timely schlock is refined and cultured
>>200724545Leguizamo was like Baz luhrmann if Latino, I just realized
>>200725139Her daughter is even hotter. Somehow.She has some movie where she's some sort of cum-draining succubus or another
>>200730141Autistic german child
>>200724707Same and it was awesome. Juliet got my dick hard.
>>200723566Used to think the opening scene was cool as fuckit still is
>>200724965Shakespeare is fun to study. English Lit classes were so comfy in general it was like a book club to break up the rest of the day.
>>200725152Yes. Queen Elizabeth was such a low-brow pleb.
>>200730452>implying royals acting royal isn't a facade for their inhumane tendencies and behaviour
>>200724545why does heput the gun in the holster?
>>200730306I still do, but I used to, too.
>>200730682So that he had both hands free to take off his jacket, duh?
>>200723566>>200724143Baz Luhrman is a fucking hack.You must be trolling.
>>200723566Should you watch this as your first Romeo and Juliet-experience or is it better to watch a boring play?
Played Romeo in my acting class last yearThe actress I was paired with didn't want to kiss me (not even a quick peck) and we had to fake it...
>>200723566there is only one film version of Romeo & Juliet, and it sure af isn't directed by Baz "Hyperactive" Lurhmann.>>200730141no there isn't. it's shit
>>200730805if you're so provincial that you think a play is boring without having seen it, then yes, you should definitely watch Lurhman's Americanized tacky bullshit version -- if you can't find a rap version of it, somewhere.Don't even bother with Franco Zeffirelli's vastly superior version.And make sure you avoid seeing a staged version!
>>200730814
>>200730805You should also check out the Anthony Hopkins version of Titus.
>>200723566okay it's not that good, it's decent
I'm dysphlexic, so. I ain't no blink,given, I'm duesplexhic, if, I think,I prefer, the fancy stuff, rightoover looooong, words, u know?and so,with my deusplexxic fateI think, I know enough of hate,to say for tellyvisioning nice,Romeo + Juliet is great,and would suffice
the soundtrack is among the best and I still listen to it. Makes me wonder if other movie soundtracks have hidden gems of music. Radio would never play that radiohead song, only creep.
>>200731976Movie soundtracks can be a great way to find lesser known, hidden gems of music by famous artists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t45g0E1Z6cE
>>200730306it was a great diegetic device to introduce the story.
>>200732162city of angels and romeo + juliet were yearly broadcast for mexican tv channels. It was the only respite from soap operas. Cool song, don't remember what scene it plays though.
>>200724707i watched the one where you see juliets tits
>>200725152>le high/low culture distinctionTrue midwittery.
>>200731976Best soundtrack is Nashville(1975). Best Shakespeare film adaptation is A Midsummer Night's Dream(1999).
>>200732641And calling things "mid" is what zoomers do so you're worse.
>>200733230I have never heard of that movie nashville, ever. I'll check it out.
Tromeo and Juliette is kino too
>>200733834All Troma movies are kino
THOU CONSORTEST WITH ROMEO?
>>200730349Based. I'm an English teacher and it was pretty fulfilling getting even urban TikTok zoomers to have fun acting this out and following the story When Juliet stabbed herself I blasted CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES and got the whole class headbanging
>Do you bite your thumb AT US, SIR?Unmitigated Kino, had to watch it for HS english and my mates were quoting it for days after. Unironically made us like shakespeare
>>200723566Imagine being Shakespeare and having to see retards 'modernise' your eternal dramas.
>>200734039I like that your passionate for teaching, no teacher was this involved and just gave us the word jumble to zombify to.
>>200724898The 90s were an entirely different era zoomer bro.
>>200734648Even worse these days when kids can AI generate their essays in seconds and boomer old female teachers have no clue and think they're actually teaching dumb 9th graders to write college level essays
As an ESLer of the 2nd degree I really can't stand Shakespeares old-lingual-languaged talktalk where every adjective is adverbed to maximum of its capacity causing the rhythms hierachival prominence to swerve off too such extent the internal meaning of the sentences gets fragmentated into bits, leaving the listener to question his (no female can ever intake the wittyness of the shakesperian dialogue) insanity, which begs the question: why insist on your own self - abbreviated to the simple line of being and not; self-indulgance at the highest level, that is!
>>200734575I think if Shakespeare was still alive 400+ years after his death he would have bigger priorities in his life than caring about movies.
>>200735171ESL = low IQ confirmed.
>>200734658>eraYou mean myriad
>>200735171didn't the gillian jacobs say that she read shakespeare as a kid?
>>200724376>not thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bc1z1Fpneg
>>200730306>>200730734>>200732175https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beV56hp4T3w
>>200735642You underestimate just how disheartening it is for an artist to see their art performed badly.
>>200735171>no female can ever intake the wittyness of the shakesperian dialogueSorry my man but this is a you problem. Even the dumbest woman can understand Shakespeare if she puts in a modicum of effort.
>>200724707>>200724734>>200724742movies don't belong in schools. time-wasters with zero educational value.
>>200736221Most of school has zero educational value so might as well enjoy it
>>200724545What a pest!
>>200736221>>200736249most of school outside of math and science are a waste of time meant to give the illusion of usefulness. Unless you join the military or police right out of high school you are in poverty.
>>200736024And you would know from experience? Yeah, didn't think so.
>>200736249>>200736336>most of school outside of math and science are a waste of timeI agree, but that's a reason to improve education, not make it worse
>>200724545Retarded redditor capeshit slop
>>200723566>>200724545>Open murder in broad daylight>Somehow still gets outIt was a bit fucking retarded
>>200736336I failed all my math and science classes but focused entirely on my art. I'm now a concept artist in the video game industry that makes $55/h with a shit ton of benefits and stock options.
>>200730986>>200730898>>200725139holy yummola
>>200736601In the long run he died so it still makes sense.
>>200731976I discovered a cool Duran Duran song called Come Undone because it was in Layer Cake. Funny thing is it's not in the actual movie but is used in an alternate ending scene they made so I wouldn't have even found out about it if I didn't do some digging. The movie itself also uses Ordinary World.
Bump
isterades Pandy of his mons?
>>200723566Leonardo Retardo?I can't stand that guy.
>>200741600I think he's a great actor, but not so great as a person. Just like Brad Pitt. But I'm good at setting aside my thoughts on the personal life and just appreciating the performance. Since it's not like I'm sending them money.
I've scurred around all internet searching for a porn parody of this movie but have yet to find anyone doing the adequate work. How is it possible? Romeo + Juliet seems like one of the easiest source to pornparody, yet none exist. Is it about Juliet being jailbaitaged? about non of the actors able to channel his inner Romeo? The dialogue being to hard to remember? Idk. But I know I want one, and I'm willing to pay, a lot, around $20 bucks or so, for a double-sided DVD with commentary and a few special features. How much would you pay? Would you? Would!
>>200736690bravo! How should I get started on sculpting if I want to make hyper real figurines?>>200737973I liked the club anthem that plays.
>>200724143I still remember this shameless apology from seeing it once, at school, twenty years ago.
>>200724939thrilled
