John Danter published the first quarto, and although his name appears in the imprint, he printed only the first four sheets. The sonnet shared by Romeo and Juliet at their first meeting, in which their playful banter with the religious language of pilgrims and saints leads to a kiss, was adapted both by John Weever in a sonnet dedicated to Shakespeare, and by the compiler of The Passionate Pilgrim. The first edition appeared in print in 1597 as “ AN EXCELLENT conceited Tragedie.” The term “conceited” points to the witty, rhetorical language that pervades the play-language that exemplified the “sweet” style that Shakespeare was already known for, due to the sensational popularity of his earlier narrative poetry.

We’re all for it.ĮveryFilmIWatch is multi-channel film review project run by Sebastian Cox, ScriptUp co-founder. He took a big risk on this film and it paid off massively. Behind all of it sits Luhrmann the irreverent auteur, with a love for his source material and a disregard for the stifling ‘rules’ of Shakespearean performance. But it accurately reflects the cultural minestrone that is a Miami-set Shakespeare from the ‘90s. The soundtrack is bonkers: Radiohead one second, Des'ree the next. He's extraordinarily gifted and has a way of bringing hot-bloodedness and heart to the Mercutio character that makes the pay-off of his demise deeply moving and deeply dramatic. Of particular note is Harold Perrineau as Mercutio. As mentioned, Postlethwaite and Margolyes are true professionals, both playing unique takes on their characters with a grounded sense of reverence for the source.
The acting is all excellent, and DiCaprio and Danes have bags of chemistry they deliver their lines with a rare degree of commitment and passion.
