I though D'caprio was perfect as Romeo and that girl for Juliet the correct mix of innocence and simplicity. Though both their families were a bunch of circus characters specially the Capulets what the hell was Juliet's mother wearing at the party..... bad costumes honestly. lolz...i like Claire Danes. She's was awesome as Juliet...actually quite perfect but i don't know Romeo was lacking something. But like i said i dont' like tragic love stories...i had watched it just for D'Caprio but you are right the rest of the cast made it look like circus.
Sadly I hate Macbeth JC and I hate Julius Ceaser too I hate all political related scenarios because I hate politics OMG...lolz..i love politics...am actually quite interested in it currently...might take up a cause soon. I love power plays (in stories). But i liked Macbeth for other reaons...actually i read that one during a very difficult time in my life and it just sparked something in me...and i needed that spark very much at that point. I think it was my reaction to that story that really helped me. It might be hard to understand...but i guess i got too involved reading that one...into the characters and the their psyche...i had to do a detailed analysis of it for my English class. If i had read it just for reading i might not have reacted the same way. And Julius Ceaser was another one i loved. Fav part was the speach by the orator. Also something i read for school. I think that might be the reason i liked these two...cause i read them in depth and wrote about them...and i am very much interested in history so the fact that Shakespeare's stories depict a life that i dont' see in my world today makes the stories more interesting. I love period flicks too (the well made ones).
and to think that it was my option at college Political science. I've never hated any other subject so much even Economics was bearable compared to Polit Sc. I took one Polit. Sc class when i was doing my BBA. and guess what i liked it better than my economics class.😆😆😆 I detest Shakespeare's songs and sonnets and couplets I guess because in today's time you find no need for songs in text, but since in those days these plays were acted out the songs were an important aspect to avoid monotony caused by dialogues. I love his sonnets and couplets...and the twisted way of saying things. Even for his time Shakepeare's writing was unique...his peers didn't write like him...it was his unique style. And i love it.

I love Merchant of Venice. I also love Taming of the shrew. I so wanted a Neesha track which will go that way. 😆 Our wish will remain a wish😭 Talking of simple love stories told beautifully, my all time favourite is Mouna Raagam. I also like Hrishkesh Mukerjee's and Faazil's movies. me toooooo. Actually Fazil is my fav in mallu. Like Priyadarshan's comedies too but sometimes he gets repetitive and thus boring. But Fazil's movies are always dear to me. Even some of the ones that didn't do so well in the box office, i've loved them. Having a brilliant cast (the old one) all the creatives needed to do was to have come up with a decent believable plot. hahah...see now you are asking for the moon. It might be more possible to bring a dead Ayesha back and start her love story with Neev. As to Shabbo and Panchi they can emote so welll with just their eyes. Imagine their performance if onlky they had a good story to back them up. Akka...lets not imagine things that will break our hearts...lets rather come to terms with reality.

lolz munee we are so different.

The reason you root for Prachi and I for Milind..... yes I agree we are poles apart. I never loved politics because I hate power play I love history and most of it strewn with people who used power for the wrong cause. Power should be balanced too much of it causes man to consider himself God dimagh ki kharabi ka karan hota hai. All throughout history there's been this constant struggle to attain power some even had the brains to chalk out world domination plans Hitler and the British in general. Power was the reason the pharoahs became tyrants overworking the civilians for their own causes building those tombs fruitless labours what use are they to mankind today except to serve as memoires of past glories lived by a selective few. I strongly abolish such power. The reason I hate Macbeth is that he was a perfectly good young man but what did greed and power do to him destroy him completely. Taking the witches words as final you can never snatch anyone's rights and consider them their own in the end it was Banquo's posterity who followed the throne not Macbeth's a valiant and courageous young man finished by greed. As for Shakespeare's sonnets I don't find their use today the reason i tend to skip them.... ofcourse they are timeless hits whoever could not have read The Seven ages of man or Ariel's song. "Merrily merrily shall I live now , under the blossom that hangs from the bough" I really love this one....😊

Munee, didn't know that this was remade into a hindi movie. If I had known all I could have done is to name the movie instead of typing out the entire story!

I agree Munee and i think i love history for the same reason that it teaches you at every point the evils of greed for power. But i truly do like politics...cause its unavoidable even in a common man's life. Its a mistake to think that politics is for the politicians who are struggling for power. Politics is for those who want to make sure another person's greed for power and domination doesn't undermine their rights. I was very disillusioned by the corporate politics...but i think it was rash in my decision now...i guess i was too inexperienced and took a hasty decision. But now i realize that i can't run from it. Power struggles are a part of everyday life. And i am put in a position where i can be the leader or the follower...and naturally i'd rather lead.😳 Never been a follower and don't intend to be one.

I like Macbeth precicely for the reason you don't like it. Cause i think its a lesson that needs to be well learned by many. There is no such thing as a perfect crime...there is always your concious that knows...and you can never hide from it. I feel that the humanity is lost today...there are just too many psychos out there completely out of touch with what makes us all human...and that saddens me. Another one that i really like that is of the similar theme as Macbeth is "Tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. The rated on himself because his concious was pricking at him...he kept hearing heart beats...and never could get rid of that...just like Macbeth was haunted.
