Romeo and Juliet

I thought it was really clever how the director of the Romeo and Juliet movie used the pill with the heart on it. It tied in what Shakespeare ment for that part to be about, and the director was able to make it more modern.

I thought that the director of the movie also picked the setting and costumes well. I thought that it was symbolic how Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, and some of the other characters were dressed. Romeo had the costume of a knight. This was a good choice because he is the "protagonist." Juliet was an angel. This was also a good choice because she is supposed to be pretty and stuff. Mercutio was a drag queen and his character acted really crazy.

By the way I still haven't found a new book to read. If you have any suggestions let me know.

peace out my homies

I still can't figure out why Paris was dressed as an astronaut. Was it because he was famous? I don't know.
