worst and best movie ever made<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Actually one of my teachers watched every single version of Romeo and Juliet with the original text in front of him to prove that this was the worst version, but to his great dismay its the most accurate film adaptation of it, with the lines closest to the original text and most similar stage direction and relayed emotions.<\/p>\n<p>He proceeded to show it to us in class.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dude, seriously.\u00a0 This version is actually very accurate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>My Shakespeare professor in grad school said the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I think most Shakespeare movies are just so classy and highbrow with their gorgeous period costumes and mandatory snooty elocutionary accents that people forget how goofy this play actually is. The lines, the characters, the motivations, the babyfaced teen stars, I just\u2026 oh my god it\u2019s all so real. I\u2019ve heard a lot of people blast Baz Luhrmann for making such a campy adaptation and it\u2019s just like no, you don\u2019t understand, that was <i>all Shakespeare<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder if the real reason it\u2019s disliked is because it was so damn popular with teenage girls.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You mean\u2026 Like the <i>actual<\/i> play?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s not like Shakespeare himself wouldn\u2019t have produced it that way if he\u2019d had the resources and the technology to do so. His shows were infamous for their over-the-top production values, and in particular for their pioneering use of pyrotechnic special effects; the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground due to an SFX mishap during the premier of <i>Henry VIII<\/i>. This was not a man concerned overmuch with the sober dignity of his craft.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m not enough a Shakespeare scholar to say how emotionally accurate the Baz Luhrmann adaptation is, but I do know a lot of the high mustiness attached to Shakespeare is because of the language (see also King James Bible). I had a pretty interesting linguistics class that was strongly for a retranslation of Shakespeare into modern English. \u201cWhy aren\u2019t we making this more accessible, because it was <i>really accessible<\/i> in Shakespeare\u2019s day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I think the Baz Luhrmann movie is bright, wonderful fun.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wickedbaggins: prokopetz: makeitearlgrey: baldymonster: cleolinda: killjoyfeminist: annabellioncourt: plz-no: Simultaneously the worst and best movie ever made Actually one of my teachers watched every single version of Romeo and Juliet with the original text in front of him to prove that this was the worst version, but to his great dismay its the most accurate film &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/2015\/02\/02\/wickedbaggins-prokopetz-makeitearlgrey\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8323,1255,446,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169740"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169751,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169740\/revisions\/169751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
