Romeo and juliet the new version came out like in 1999
god yes, I wanted to ram my head into a wall while watching that, christ I hate the dialogue, I was sitting there just thinking "what the fuck did she say?"
You realize that they took the dialogue, pretty much directly, from Shakespeare. If you don't get what they said, then I would recommend you never read anything else he wrote. It's all much the same with that guy.
But I agree. That movie was awful. You could tell, straight up, that like none of the actors had a single clue as to what they were saying, well minus John Leguizamo. He seemed pretty together, although a poor choice for the role. They'd say a line, but the inflection would be different then the emotion that the line was supposed to be conveyed with. It was painful.
yeh we were doing a unit on shakespeare in my english class, it would have been way more interesting if they replaced
"No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a
church-door; but 'tis enough,'twill serve: ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I
am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o'
both your houses! 'Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a
cat, to scratch a man to death! a braggart, a
rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of
arithmetic!"
with
"holy shit I'm gonna die! fuck you man, he fucking cut me when you tried to stop him you douche, fuck you too tybalt"
