Title: So Very 1990's
Review: Ooooh-soup-bowl haircuts,a cast consisting mostly of under 20 year olds and that largely moribund soundtrack to boot.Baz Lurhmann's take on The Bard's "Romeo + Juliet" is THE singlemost dated and nausiating film I've seen!Not only is the dialogall set in ye olde' english but the SETTING remains throughallycontemporary-guns instead of swoards,gangs instead of knights!It coulda' been a great avante-garde idea but it's so obviouslydesigned to pander to the culturless,cynical MTV-generationpsuedo-grunge teens of the mid 90's that the overal results andexcellent cinamatography is smothered in a context that looksand feels truely pathetic.Unless your ARE one of the type's listed above-then this might be the way for you to embraceShakespere.But if your not-steer clear of this wretch-inducingmistake!How Leonardo DiCaprio survived to get to "Titanic" isbeyond me,but he did.And Baz Lurhmann MORE then made up for thisblunder with his recent triumph "Moulin Rouge".Phweee!!!!
