totally had a thing going on. Anyone else see this?
LoL, sorry. My friend's cousin's reading the book for the first time and we were watching the 1968 version and this old, long forgotten belief struck again.
Anyone agree?

I can totally see it, especially if you watch the Baz Luhrmann version. If I remember correctly they practically start making out during the party scene. Then again Romeo is all high on ecstacy. I really need to watch that movie again.

We just watched it yesterday in our English class. I agree, it's totally there. I think I see a plot bunny there.

OMC i am so glad someone else finally sees it. I watched the film and thought right away they were more than family. Plus Lady Capulet doesn't seam too happy telling her daughter she is getting married. I tried to tell my friends this and they told me i was thinking too hard and i was nuts. well iam glad someone finally sees it too lol.

Same here...our English teacher claims the Leonardo version is too "modern" ... but then again, we also read the book at the same time.

Oh no our class got to watch the Leonardo version then if we wanted we could watch the older version. Let me tell you the relationship between the two is worse in the Leonardo version. They get drunk and kiss. it was so discusting because they are suposed to be related.

Sounds odd. I regret to say I've never heard of it. (anyone care to give me a plot?) You watch movies in your English classes?

Sounds odd. I regret to say I've never heard of it. (anyone care to give me a plot?) You watch movies in your English classes? Which? Romeo and Juliet or the pairing? We usually read the book/play then watch the movie or watch the movie as we go along to see how they compare. If you want a brief summary (kind of) of Romeo and Juliet, then I wrote a poem on my site called Moments if you want a brief idea. |

or go to spark notes for the plot they are the most reliable site for that kind of information.
and it is the same at my school. we read the book or play (if it is a play we all get parts and read it out loud) then we watch the film.

Great, now I'm visibly the one-who-haven't-watch-the-film-yet  But our class was on a play. Rather pathetic, to be honest. Juliet looked as if she had anorexia. And Romeo was more bored than anything else, so I didn't enjoy it. Maybe watching film would be good idea... But, please tell me, which version do you think is better? |

The 1968 version directed by Zeffirelli? We just had to watch that in my English class too. ugh... my teacher made us write an essay on the stuff left out of the movie and how it affected the story line and such.. I really hate my Honors English class.
