Old Baz

We all are reading Romeo and Juliet, and so far for me the details are all mute. I feel like in many of the scenes I was not getting the full effect, I was only just getting the jest of it, nothing deeper.When I saw that watching Leonardo DiCaprio for two hours could get me extra credit I can't tell you how exited I was, maybe it was that thought, or maybe it was the fact that I was sure that watching this movie would explain it all. The movie was in short perfectly strange, mildly deranged and would not have been complete without a whole lot of guns.

You really got a feel of how they live their lives truly despising the other, of course you had to take into account the terrible acting that was done by the Montague boys, they get kudos for being just that bad.It made you wonder a little bit a bout Baz Lurman this movie was his creation, did he truly mean it to come out in this way?

When the movie first begins you zoom in and out on a television women reporting the recent events of horror, the next shot was of  the heads of the houses, Montague and Capulet rushing to the scene. You know that this must be one of those movies that gives you a short of the end first, before it goes into whats really happening.

Seeing this gave me a pit in my stomach, I hate that part of the title, the tragedy I have always wondered why they have to die. While watching this movie I got increasingly aggravated at both Romeo  and Juliet, Romeo for not seeing the letter from the priest, at Juliet for not saying something when she awoke to Romeo poised, about to down the poison.

The movie helped me see why they had to die, why they could never have lived. They could never have escaped their families while on this earth, their love only prevailing in the wost way possible. But for them, it may have been the only way for their love to work at all.

Thank you Baz, you really helped me out.
