This movie absolutely shouldn't work, but the aesthetics are so extravagant and unique, the editing so schizophrenic, and the performances so committed it's absolute kino. I loved it.
>>218953270Soundtrack was pretty good toohttps://youtu.be/esEcnEOdItkhttps://youtu.be/TzwJI0WYLVk
I'm seeing it at the cinema on friday, super hyped
First time a movie actress made me feel funny.
>>218953270Leguizamo is hypnotic. Dicap is the weak link oddly
>>218953270The movie shouldn't work and it doesn't.
DRAW YOUR SWORD
>>218954669Peace? I hate the word
>>218953270I liked The Great Gatsby and Elvis. Love the vibe and colors. Baz Luhrman is a underrated director, looking forward to his Joanna of Arc movie
>>218958817I got back into elvis after wonder of u edits and 3000 miles to graceland.
>>218953270It was a very 90's film, a lot of movies were like what you described in the 90's, it was a fun time for movies and creativity.
>best character is a black tranny >best part of the book is literally recited by a black tranny
>>218959872A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSESWilly Shakes was so fucking based, bros
>>218954689I bite my thumb at you, anon
>>218959956wait I need to watch this because the first scene of the book is a rape joke and I'm not sure if it's in the film. Like the first scene of the book has the guys saying if they find any women from the other family they will push them against the wall, brandish their naked weapons and>cut off the maiden's heads
>>218959872To be fair, he is a crossdresser for a Halloween party and the song, young hearts bangs hard.
>pastels hawaiian shirts silver plated gunsWhat is this aestetic called? Bad Boys Miami?
>>218953270calling guns swords is the coolest shit ever. this movie rules
>>218953270>4th form english teacher creepily OBSESSED with this movie>probably watch it 100 times over the course of a yearif I never see this movie again it will be too soon
>tfw currently in the process of making my own Romeo + Juliet Dagger out of an old Taurus PT99It's going to be a mix of Mercutio's Dagger and Tybalt's Rapier. It's slow going due to all of the customization but it's going to be worth it.
>>218959872>bookIts actually a remake of a movie from 1968
>>218962825Quiet pig vomit.
>>218960313It took place in mexico and the cars were loud and garish. They reminded what the low men in the stephen king universe drive.
>>218960632Ot was the best film to happen next to the new great gatsby, old sport.
>>218953793Same. I was able to rent it but my mum looked at me oddly.
>>218959872Aren't you thinking of Othello?
>>218953270damn i watched this movie in 2026 for the first time ever and it was so good
>>218963783no
>>218963134I thought it took place in LA
>>218953270Gay and lame and theatrefags liked it
they cut the fucking rape jokegod damn it
ESL here. Do EFL read Shakespeare in the original?
>>218965307ye and the game is you have to pick out the rape jokes. like romeo and juliet starts with a rape joke and then the nurse calls juliet a slut and in hamlet there's an oral sex joke
>spoils the ending in the first minuteShit writing.
>>218965719An attempt at humor, I suppose
>>218965307Shakespeare is required reading every year of highschool as part of the demoralization to discourage reading.
>>218965863in midsummer's night dream the queen of the fairies falls in love with an ass named bottom >>218965903Shakespeare was the only shit I actually read for the rape jokes>>218965815it's a tragedy
>>218958817Little fag boy is no Robert Redford.
Exit music for a film.
>>218953270It was too based to be appreciated by a normie audience. Unfathomably kino.
>>218965903Ender's game would be too dangerous.
>>218962735Very tasteful anon. How is the image for that typically done, printed or hand painted?
>>218953270most schoolkids in my generation didn't read romeo and juliet but did see this movie when the teacher wheeled the tv stand into the room
>>218962735Ostentatious!
>>218953793For me it was Olivia Hussey as Juliet. Saw that version of Romeo and Juliet in freshman year of high school and went home Googling her and fapping furiously to her.>When her nude scene happened.>Some gasp and a girl shouts "OMG! BOOBS">Slacker who wasn't paying attention goes "WAIT! WHERE? REWIND THAT!">Teacher goes "SEE? That's what happens when you don't pay attention! No I will not rewind that, in life you can't rewind to do things differently."
>>218966768Amazingly based lesson. Very apropos.
>>218959872He's not a tranny. Back then, men dressing as women was universally considered a joke. He was amusing his friends.
>>218964771>>218963134It's set in the fictional "Verona Beach" which is a play on the setting of the play (Verona, Italy), and Venice Beach, which it's clearly supposed to resemble. It was filmed in Mexico and Alameda.
>>218968004Plus he was taking cholesterol pills. side effects, man.
>>218953270I watched this in 9th grade English class. Troy too.
>>218968004I forgot everything about the character but he was supposed to be "androgynous" as he was both sides of the conflict therefore portrayed as a troon/ fey gay guy
>>218953270Is this a musical? cause I hate musicals
>>218969182No it's a straight up adaptation, original dialogue in modern dress.
>>218969239maybe I'll give it a chance then
>>218969032/po/ has poisoned your mind. None of that is true. He isnt androgynous at all. He's a guy in a dress because guys in dresses are funny.At the very very best you could say he was doing drag.
All the main protagonists did was scream real loud. John Leguizamo was the best and most convincing role. He was measured properly in his character. Nothing over the top. An excellent Tybalt. The one coming in close was probably the guy who played mercucio.
>>218953793She looked quite similar to a childhood crush I had.
>>218953793(I get way more use out of this pic than I ever thought.)
I can still hear the DVD menu theme in my head
>>218959872It fits the movie. Super extravagant and ridiculous
>GIVE ME MY LONGSWORD, HO
>>218974342I used to quote this all the time. I remember when it was first read in my 9th grade class. We all started laughing at what a dickhead he was for calling his wife a whore. Until my teacher explained the difference to us.
>>218953348This became the trailer song for every movie for a while. 10/10 soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vGqmSK4XxU>>218958817>doesn't mention Moulin Rouge, his absolute greatest movie, one of the best movies everyou gotta catch up anon>>218960110https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5O8gnSZyTs
>>218966768great choice, for me its Millie Perkins from another modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet I saw in school
>>218972079It's radiohead, right? Does it have a cool dvd commentary?
>>218965903they should have the kids read Titus, or at least watch the movie. it's the edgiest most violent most vile shakespeare, i'm sure highschoolers would love it
>>218953270This is the only version I can watch.
>>218966768I might give it a go since it was made in 1968, but I find her to be an insufferable person. pic related
>By my head, here come the Capulets.
Its a case of style over substance, but MAN. Is it ever stylish.
>>218976224The boys, the boys!*badass song starts
>>218976386The background sets having tidbits and easter eggs is hilarious and propos. They really pulled it off.
>>218966768>>Teacher goes "SEE? That's what happens when you don't pay attention! No I will not rewind that, in life you can't rewind to do things differently."your teacher was indian, am i wrong?
>>218974872I only know of the poster with Anthony Hopkins in blue face.
>>218967151>>218976426is this the fucking reddit word of the month? just say "appropriate" like a normal person. you're not the architect, you just look like a faggot
>>218966248Wasn't it a box office hit, though?
>>218976575KINO ALERT
>>218976572Sorry, I didnt know i was using it so frequently and in the same thread. I try to improve my writing skills by attempting to be eloquent. Will try harder to avoid using too much.
>>218976819>>218977041It can be a Box office hit that goes underground after awhile.
>>218953270Moulin Rouge is better
>>218971563one test of a good actor is whether they can sell Shakespeare dialogue convincingly
>>218966768PERFECT TITS SHE HAD
>>218975192If it was filmed in Verona, Italy by an Italian director how can they file a claim in California?
>>218969283He was gay for Romeo, that much is certain.
>>218966589Enders game was standard in my states curriculum when i went to HS 15 years ago
>>218953348>Butthole Surfers
>>218975192Well she was 15 at the time meaning anyone who looks at it and sees anything sexual about it, and it's kind of clear some people do ahem... >>218977568 is technically in possession of child pornography, but it gets a pass because reasons. She's just looking for lots of money and who's it hurting, hate the game not the player.
>Zeffirelli version has the Montagues as the main shit-stirrers>Luhrmann version has the Capulets as the main shit-stirrers>Nobody watched the 2013 version with Hailee SteinfeldWhose side is /tv/ on?
>>218978163we know who was biting the thumbs
>>218977730They would never allow it anywhere in the south. Too much free thinking. They did make us read lord of the flies and of mice and men in a magnet school. In the public school they were doing the word jumble.
>>218978129>but it gets a pass because reasonsWhen it's deemed 'art', it's OK. I'm not taking a side in the fight, but this is how the fashion industry has gotten away with sexualizing 12 year olds. Meanwhile, in the US, a man was convicted of cp for having manga shipped to his home in Ohio from Japan. Nothing makes sense.Anyway, the deal with the Hussey is that she was adamant that it wasn't a problem until she needed money. That's probably part of why the case was dismissed.
>>218962735Just don't have it wind up in an evidence locker after a shooting.
