A plague on both your houses 😏

Fantastic article about the costumes on set.
The thought and attention to detail, to the execution of the movie on a limited budget, makes it so much more than just another remake. I’m an admitted hater. However, I stand corrected and can’t brush this one off anymore. It’s not a favorite but I respect it and am glad it was made.
‘Low-key’ lmao? Words just mean anything of you want them to I guess 😂
The cinematography was sooo good.
Do people really need reminded that Romeo + Juliet happened and that it’s based on Shakespeare…
Seriously though, it’s a really fantastic, beautiful film.
Still obsessed with the opening. How they had the news anchor read the prologue.
the whole movie is rad as hell but nothing is quite as rad as John Leguizamo’s Tybalt
[for my money the coolest character ever captured on film](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMjUoqECPcY)
It is still one of the most faithful movie adaptations of Romeo & Juliet.
Also, I think everyone had to watch this in school during English Lit at some point. Or at least I did.
We watched in school very cool spin on a classic music was fire
They should retire the role of Mercutio permanently like they do in the NBA with a jersey in the rafters.[](https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&sca_esv=d5e847b1dc31b2cb&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS1172US1172&biw=1920&bih=911&q=Harold+Perrineau&si=AMgyJEuYX5Hw7261KZxKc6opSy4gVPmFNGDprm-U8VM39xlG54D3_7MdKqt89RcVn3k2VTdIzKyqv85y5zVKKndo60gqoALKoRQlCwv92564ShJ7w_XcDUI%3D&ved=2ahUKEwjsjbf-sPSOAxVFmGoFHQdmL1MQyNoBKAB6BAgYEAA&ictx=1)
Claire Danes is such an incredible actor. I love her in everything she does.
I think Shakespeare would’ve been proud. Plays aren’t usually beat-by-beat remakes. Hell, he didn’t even publish his plays. His friends had to cobble them together from leftover rehearsal scripts.
‘based on Shakespeare’
This is actually one of my top 5 favourite movies of all time.
I love everything about it.
i watched this movie in 9th grade english class lmao
Put up your SWORDs!*
*Brand of gun they are carrying
I really should rewatch it since I only saw it in middle school class
IMO, aged like wine.
More like high-key
Watching this in my 9th grade honors English class changed the entire trajectory of my life tbh….
What film?
I hated it when it came out…but I kind of love it now.
