whats your favourite part of William shake-spears romeo and Juliet?

Question

th one featuring leoardo dicarprio

Answer 1

The bit just before he leaves and he spends the night with her. Either that or the scene at the party where they are both in the bathroom and they see each other for the first time. I love the whole film. I went to see it loads and I still cry every time I watch it

Answer 2

Although an excellent movie and part of Lurhmann's "Red Curtain" trilogy (the others being "Strictly Ballroom & Moulin Rouge) the 1968 Franco Zeffirelli is, in my humble opinion, a better film. See it if you get the chance to make the comparison.
However to your question, the most oustanding scene is without doubt the confrontaion between Romeo (Di Caprio) & Tybalt (Leguizamo). The venom and hate with which Tybalt greets Romeo is spine tingling and you know that he has only the destruction of Romeo in his heart.
Lurhmann had a fantastic idea in modernising the conflict with his use of guns as against swords, thus bringning Shakespeare to a whole new generation in one "fell swoop".

Kenneth Branagh's Henry V & his Hamlet also, amazing movies and superb interpretation of wonderful stories.
Also for violence try Anthony Hopkins Troilius & Cressida with Jessica Lange.

Answer 3

I did not see the one with Leonardo but saw Zeffirelli's with Leonard Whiting aged 17 and a 15 year old Olivia Hussey both where very good in the roles.

It was made in 1968 and won
Best Cinematography
Best Costume Design
Best Director and Best Film.

The opening scene in the square with both family's is one of my favourite scenes as you could almost feel the atmosphere.

Answer 4

Actually, it features Claire Danes -- Leo does occasionally get in the way, but I suppose we did have to have a Romeo for the best portrayal of Juliette ever.

Answer 5

I haven't got a favourite scene, the whole story is so beautiful and yet heart braking. From the beginning to the end its a masterpiece and for those of you out there who think otherwise maybe you should actually read it before you comment. Comments made on a book read in school are hardly great comments! Read it now and you may think differently.

Answer 6

in spite of whether a individual is talking approximately literature or faith, the question of predestination as against loose will arises. In Shakespeare's performs, a similar is authentic, so comes the question, who's to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, destiny, the feuding families or the greater youthful enthusiasts themselves? At this component, you will ought to insert your thesis assertion. Who or what do you think of is to blame for the deaths? it particularly is your thesis.

Answer 7

Having seen and read a few versions/productions, I think the one Leo De C was in was fairly faithful to the 'original' work. The best scene in all versions is the balcony 'hook' scene; it's where their hopes fly highest, and we get carried away with their dreams despite our worldly suspicions about their fate.

Answer 8

The film's crappy but I have always wanted to perform the famous Act1 Scene 5 bit where they recite something to each other...something about palmer's kiss, holy shrine and smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss

Answer 9

I like the bit with the fish tank. I'd love to have a massive tank like that in my house.

Answer 10

The fish tank scene!
