A 'ROMEO + JULIET' KINDA DAY


















One of the greatest, most romantic movies I've ever seen, Romeo + Juliet is a stand out piece of quality cinema. This is the modernisation of the classic Shakespeare play in which two young star-crossed lovers  embark on a love affair despite the fact they come from opposing families, the Montagues and the Capulets. The old time language of Shakespere is still relevant in this movie, yet it has been cleverly adapted so that anyone can understand it. The scenes are beautiful, especially the famous fish tank scene where Romeo and Juliet both set eyes on each other for the first time. Oh how I wish I could've swapped places with Clare Danes in that scene, it's just so magical. Leonardo DiCaprio is beyond handsome in this, he has so much charm and charisma that just screams at you from within the screen. If you haven't seen this movie then please do, I will happily accept your thank-yous! You will be in tears by the end but it will have been worth it.

Also, the theme song for this is Talk Show Host by Radiohead (video below). I have nothing that needs to be said about it other than listen!

    1. Aw, you're welcome! But your blog is amazing - I can live vicariously through your pictures until I make it over there! Yes that song is so great, I adore Radiohead and think they are one of the best experimental bands ever. I hope your day gets better! Just put on some good music, chill and cuddle up with your dog. :)

  3. I remember watching this as part of GCSE English and loving it! I didn't realise it was Clare Danes until I saw her in Homeland recently and it reminded me she was in this, crazy!xxx

  4. You really make it seem so easy with Somatodrol your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. Im looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
