Aug. 4th, 2004 08:49 amSo last night I had to watch Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet for my film class. I dragged ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
permetaform along with me. I hope we didn't annoy the other people in my class by snickering and talking quietly all the way through it.
OMG Leonardo DiCaprio is so pretty. And his PAIN. Romeo!pain is prettier than Justin!pain and Brian!pain combined. And Mercutio. Fuck, that guy is hot. I didn't particularly like his cross-dressing outfit, but every other time in that movie he was utterly drool worthy. When he is all like "Aye, a scratch!" and Romeo is all like
and then Mercutio dies and Romeo is all like 
Now lets consider. Romeo was willing to die for Juliet. He was willing to die or kill for Mercutio, ruining his marriage in the process. And can I say? Hottest slash couple ever. They've got this beautiful, beautiful pale/dark contrast going on and they've both got these full, poutly lips and did I mention that Leonardo DiCaprio is OHMYFUCKINGGODSOPRETTY?
The ending was painful to watch. Romeo+Juliet=dumbest couple EVAR. It was Darwin Awards class suicide, only arty instead of funny.
Okay, it was funny too.
When Juliet puts her hand to Romeo's face right as he drinks the poison? And he does his "Oh, fuck!" face? And even his "Oh, Fuck!" face looks pretty? *sigh* I want to vid this movie so badly. The camera shots are utterly gorgeous. It would take a special song, though, to capture the pretty, the insanity, and the stupid.
