I'm currently writing an essay on Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film remake: 'Romeo + Juliet'. It seems to be on of those films where you either love it or you hate it. A lot of pretentious people have claimed that it's sacrilege to arse about with Shakespeare in such a way. Personally, I think it's a very intelligent and captivating modernisation of the play, and I would suggest you watch it... also, it's a shame Leo DiCaprio isn't attractive. Just a thought for you there.
Yes, Baz Luhrmann's a bit of a nob, but I think we can get over that because this take on Mercutio which is just fantastic. I'm actually genuinely sad that he dies, unlike most Shakespearan characters when I hope they die just so that it will be entertaining.
Ho ho, controversy... I love it.
Afterthought: Claire Danes can't act.
About Sophie
- Sophie
- Sophie formed from the mould found on the bottom of a writer's mug of tea. Not much is known about the writer, except that they were shite. A considerable amount is known about the mug, however: it was a white mug with The Beatles images on the side. Many believe this is the cause of many of Sophie's traits, such as her pale shiny skin and her treatment of The Beatles like Gods. Some might say Sophie talks too much crap. Some might say her use of large font is quite irritating. Some might say she’s a twat. All of these are true of course, but you’re the one reading the blog so now who’s the twat, eh? This is the blog of Sophie, and her adventures, thoughts and opinions.
