'Shakespeare in Love' was a particularly happy film.
I personally am a very big fan of 'Romeo + Juliet.' It had a visceral power to it that I thought was just exhilarating. It was a very arresting and very disturbing and deeply compelling version of the play.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond.
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
They may seize On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand And steal immortal blessing from her lips, Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.
I did a crazy version of 'Romeo and Juliet' once, and I played Romeo.
You go see a great production of 'Romeo and Juliet,' where those kids are full of life and love, you hope and forget.
Verona is a very beautiful city, but Siena just never ceases to fascinate me.
