[Grim]

Yeah the 1968 film

 

[Chris]

All the other big Shakespeare things are so much better

 

[Comrade Khan]

Like the 1950s or 60s Romeo and Juliet? I thought it was alright

I'm sure it's ok if I watched now. But a teenager is gonna bored af lol

 

[Chris]

We watched it in school too and I never had a desire to rewatch it lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

It sucked bc Romeo and Juliet is a shitty story hot take

it's pretty lame n tame compared to his other jazz

 

[Grim]

I think people really misunderstand Romeo & Juliet as a love story, which it's not lol

 

[Chris]

But I've watched that 3 hour Hamlet flick In the 90s a ton

 

[Comrade Khan]

Hot take I liked the 90s remake lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

I just also , personally , don't love plays into movies. I like plays. I'd rather watch it as a play

 

[Grim]

I also prefer the stories when they're told in original pronunciation, like they're supposed to

 

[Chris]

I think people really misunderstand Romeo & Juliet as a love story, which it's not lol

bc he wrote it as a teenage drama with as much substance as one and we've had to since apply these higher level thinkings to a work that didn't deserve it

 

[Chris]

It's like analyzing Degrassi like it's breaking bad

 

[Chris]

Hot take I liked the 90s remake lol

I like the Radiohead song but I've never seen the movie

Yeah lmao, it's literally not a love story, but a story about how family feuds break apart families.

it was quite "hot" on release. It didn't hold obv but ya was def one of the hotter marketed teen flicks that year
